PS3HEN v3.3.0

Compatible with 4.80 OFW ONLY

WARNING: HFW by itself could have potential issues. It is recommended to only use this firmware as a way
to install PS3HEN, not a firmware to use unmodified. The reason is some of the SPRX files get replaced by
older versions during the creation of HFW itself. Only after installing PS3HEN are these files restored
to an OFW state, leaving only silk_webkit patched for exploit.


WHAT IS HEN:
HEN stands for Homebrew ENabler. it also consists of much more new functions relatively close to a CFW

  NOTES:
  if you get error 80010017 launching homebrew that simply means HEN failure, restart console and try again!(restart is important!)
  also try deleting cache, browsing data, cookies and the likes from browser, make the exploit page the home page
	
DEVELOPERS:
  - #define SYSCALL8_OPCODE_IS_HEN 0x1337
  - using this if return 0x1337 its hen
		
  - ADVANCED POKE:syscall8(0x7003, addr, value);
	this allows poking any location in lv2 memory BUT you have to restore original value before exiting to another application or exiting to xmb.USE WISELY OTHERWISE PS3 SHUTS DOWN

  - BDMIRROR:Managunz FTW!(please use Cobra payload because by default its MULTIMAN) 	
    NOTE:mounting dev_blind will actually mount dev_flash. change files directly from dev_flash instead or hdd0/plugins/CFW/			
		
  - Kernel Mode returns 0x53434500 on success to user webkit 0x8a000000. its good to measure HEN success. right now hen is already close to or is 100%
