  • Installing CWFEnabler 3.20 Back to Top
    Installing CFWEnabler of any version will NOT require you to uninstall a previous version unless stated otherwise.

    However, uninstalling the old version or other versions of CFW Enablers such as 5.0x GEN-A is always a good idea to keep your flash0 directory clean of clutter as space in this area is very limited. Think of it as like defraging your windows harddrive from time to time. Steps on how to uninstall Custom Firmware / Enablers will be provided here somewhere down the line.

    Before Starting, please make sure you reboot your PSP into ChickHEN R2 only and not into GEN-A or CFWE of any version.

  • 6. From the files you got in step two, move the PSP folder over to the root of your memoroy stick (ms0)
    Overwrite existing files/folders when prompted.


  • 7. Go ahead and now press to exit out of USB MODE


  • 8. Scroll over to your Game menu and open up the memory stick sub icon.


  • 9. Once you've opened up the menu, you will then see the CFWEnabler 3.20 icon that was added to the menu.
