    I assume you mean 5.03 for your firmware?

    ChickHEN is your only way on the 88v3 or 3000 PSP. And only if you are on 5.03 firmware.

    yeah i know that but if you seen the video it will always be rough to enable cfw enabler, because when you turn off your psp you have to enable it again.
    im looking for a way to keep it on cfw

    Instead of shutting down your PSP completely, just put it into sleep mode.

    Plug it in over night, or get a new battery. It can't be made permanent, the data is stored in RAM, which is erased when the power is shut off.


    Also, please stop asking the same questions in multiple threads.

    No wonder...


    Try NOT turning off the system completly (just a quick flick of the switch sends it to stand by mode rather than a full system reset).


    And try going for "5.03 GEN" firmware (or one of the later revisions...I think they are up to C) as it not only plays more recent games...but there is a plugin that can help prevent it resetting called "sedna"

    I noticed this too...about the thread take overs :p

    is that sedna just like pandora battery and does pandora battery work on TA-88v3?

    No, it's not like a pandora battery, it's just a plugin for the CFW.
    And no, the Pandora Battery cannot work on the 88v3 motherboard. If it did, people would just use that rather than fiddle around with the chickhen.

    2000s with the 88v3 and 3000s cannot be permanently modified, and cannot use the pandora battery. Powering them down completely will erase any modifications that are done. The only real solution is to use Standby mode.

    where do you get the plug in?

    You can get it at pspslimhacks.com
    http://pspslimhacks.com/sedna-for-5-03-gen-ab-keep-5-03-gen-b-active-even-after-rebooting/

    But it should only be used as a last resort. It is not meant to be used to make it so you can shut off your PSP all the time. Because it doesn't always work. It is meant to cover accidental shutdowns.
