PS3HEN [Support Thread] PS3HEN Bugs, Problems, and Other Issues

yes, even with HEN disabled (a fresh boot) you should be able to install official packages, like the ones you can get from your store purchases.

of course once you enable it then any packages can be installed, fake or debug too

Then removing the Package Manager if HEN is disabled can be an inconvenient for some users.

In an off-topic subject: I recently added a feature to wMM's artemis that allows to select between art.txt, art_l2.txt and art_r2.txt with START, L2+START or R2+START. So the user can easily choose a main cheat list + 2 optional cheat lists.

Maybe you could add support to this idea in ArtemisPS3 if you like it.
 
So booted up the system and went to activate HEN, and it kinda froze on me and was kinda looping but doing nothing, and then I had to turn PS3 off, and now it's trying to shut down and the power button is constantly flashing green and not successfully shutting down.

I'm guessing all I can do about this is unplug the plug and go from there. Just wondering if this is going to mess everything up, guess I have to try to unplug system and hope for the best.

GOOGLE SEARCH

If the green light continues to flash green, your console may be trying to write to the hard drive before shutting down, so some patience may be required. However, if this continues, hold down the power button for 5 seconds – the console will beep and should turn off. Then try to restart it.

OK, system turned off, and I rebooted after holding down the power button longer than 5 seconds till I heard a beep.


Ended up with the system was not turned off, message system will restart check the file system and restore if it's corrupted.

sometimes HEN will occasionally freeze on init, or the exploit will fail and reboot. This is as "normal" as its probably gonna get, but should work most of the time.
 
As far as i know we can't install packages even the official ones, hiding it also fixed the stutter while acessing the package manager subfolders as the STANDART folder is missing (spinning icon) using the official sprx, when HEN is enabled it patches the sprx on the fly and enable this folder back.
On 4.88, it's possible to install oficial PKG on package manager without enabling hen. I always used this feature, even on HAN times. And, will you guys update HAN to work with 4.89?
 
I tested more with the stuttering Package Manager. If i use the normal version of HEN and i load HEN before opening Package Manager, there is no stuttering. If i use debug version of HEN and i do the same thing, i get stuttering, which kinda makes sense. But if on normal or debug, i first go to package manager, i get stuttering, then when i enable HEN and go back to Package Manager, i also get stuttering still.
 
i just received hen 3.1.1 with the autoupdate , everything seems ok without any graphic or system issue :) i'll continue to test (and play games XD) for the next two-three days..
Thank you so much to devs for the great support

Hello I have a problem with the HEN when I run it arette not of this block. (Freeze) I etein the play and on again and I raise the Hen and blocking you every time or it may come from Thank you for answering me
 
I can report this bug.



PS3 System is much more likely to freeze when enabling HEN when a second USB device is connected.

Tested with
HEN 3.01
and HEN 3.03.


PS3 Superslim CECH-43xxA with 320GB HDD installed
USB HDD 2TB NTFS

Firmware 4.86


If only one USB device is connected, System almost never freezes when HEN is started.
But if an additional USB stick or the Eye camera is connected, it unfortunately happens very often.

Interesting, mine does this a lot and I have two USBs permanently connected. Going to have to test this on mine (same PS3 system too).
 
My problem is that it does not start any homebrew game correctly, in the new Hen update
Can you describe your steps, as there has been no code changes to 3.1.1, from 3.1.0, except hen revision. Just resource updates.

You installed HFW and HEN package installed ok? When you enable HEN, there are no issues? What homebrew are you trying?

Can you do a simple test? List what freezes and what doesn't? I mean plug in some USB devices and enable HEN, then try different device and ports and are results the same?

Is it with just the external HDD as ntfs, and camera eye?

It doesn't matter whether I have connected two NTFS drives or one NTFS drive and the EYE Cam or one NTFS drive and one FAT32 drive.
The error rate when initializing HEN is significantly higher than with one connected USB po
rt.


It looks like just the fact that two ports are busy is causing the error.

I'll test this out. I have a few flash drives and 2 eye cameras

I can confirm along with freezing, it affects game saves and installations too. This is with HFW.
