DevHook Updated to Version 0.42 *UPDATED* |
Ó
Booster has updated his firmware launching tool, DevHook for the PSP to version 0.42 today. For those of you who don't know (i.e. 2.5/2.6 users who have just downgraded), DevHook allows you to launch another firmware version up to 2.5 and use all of its features, enabling you to use the web browser and LocationFree player, and run UMDs that require firmware version 1.5. The firmware remains loaded in the PSP's RAM, so after a simple reboot of your PSP, it will return to firmware version 1.5 like magic.
Here's the changelog:
- Menu looks sharper with a better resolution.
- No UMD bug fix
- UMD Emu's semaphore bug fix
- Changed Clock reset timing
- Changed contents of configuration data
- Changed loading & setting method from launcher
- Changed the config load at the time of starting into a memory course from a file.
- XMB's UMD change feature is now in an external module.
- Added a CLOCK change function to the XMB shortcut.
- Clock frequency is displayed on the XMB
- Remote control compatibility with Kprintf.
- Added Japanese localization launcher version by mok
- FW2.00 No-UMD loading
- FW2.71 reboot
- NAND driver emulation
Note: Dumped firmware files are required in order to emulate that firmware version. We cannot provide these for legal reasons, you must obtain them yourself.

UPDATE: These developers sure work fast. Barely two days after releasing v0.42 of DevHook, Booster has another update for all off us. V0.42a fixes a bug for NOUMD. The return value of dhGetVersion () has changed from 0x00004200 to 0x00420001 in this update. Get updated version of DevHook below.
Download: [DevHook v0.42a]
UPDATE No. 2: Booster is not only one smart guy to have come up with DevHook, he's also one fast worker as well. In a span of two days, he was able to give us not only one but THREE updates to arguably one of the most exciting homebrew app to cross our ways.
Thanks to AkiraPsychic, we got to know of the latest version to Bosster's DevHook. V0.42b has the following changelog (as always, thanks to the amazing Jeff Chen for the translation):
- Memory drain improved when rebooting.
- DevHook resident task stack changed from 4KB to 8KB.
- The return value of dhGetVersion() changed from 0x00004201 to 0x00420002.
- When set CPU CLOCK=0, the CLOCK manipulation of DevHook will be disabled (launcher is not supported yet)

Comments [refresh]
Does this mean that I can play DBZ or Street Fighter on 1.5?
You already can on the old version.
Yes you can!
Yes it does. My question is, will I be able to play SOCOM online with this?
yes finally great release!!!
this is the #1 iso loader. thanx Booster!
i still dont get how to load isos that ive backed up from my original copy can someone please tell me how to do this the readme on these files are in jiberish
I really don't care about a little more resolution, where is the 2.6 or 2.7/1 emulation???? This update does nothing new. Oh man... I was really looking forward to the next update...
BTW, stop asking about Socom online. If it emulates 2.5 perfectly do u think it can play Socom online?? YES!
i just downgraded my psp from 2.6 and i just downloaded this on to my comp. but where exactly do i put the files, since the tutorial is only for the 041-a version?
look at these questions.... i wish the 2.5/6 downgrader never got released.
these people were on higher firmwares for one reason, that being they're morons.
the flood of piracy has come.
can it play "pirates of the caribbean : DMC" (requiring FW 2.6)?
if not can we hope for support of 2.6 games in the future?
nocomment
"i wish the 2.5/6 downgrader never got released.
these people were on higher firmwares for one reason"
yeah the reason was because there was no downgrader! or becuase they were stuck with a psp that wasnt 1.5!
moron.
if you rip a umd disc with a game that requires 2.6, or 2.7, you can edit files and make it into an iso for playing on the devhook launcher, of course, the game iso's are large. but being able to play new games on your 1.5 is a very nice feature.
hey, what about us who auctually listen to all the 1.5 stuf an know how to use it even tho weve been upgrading?
O.o
It should work anyway. If i put my worms open warfare umd in (needs update 2.6) and start devhook it runs it anyway! same for locoroco. It just starts it any dosn't ask me to update.
Hope that answers some questions.
so.....no 2.6 emulation even though it is completely possible now?
I have Generation of Chaos (a 2.6fw game) running from the UMD on 1.5fw using DevHook .41d
i personally think that the makers of daxsiso and devhook should work together to make devhook compatible qith daxs compressed isos it would be off the hook
2.7/2.71 emulation yay!!!! Hopefully they found something in 2.7/2.71 and can emulate it in their next version of DevHook as the new additions to this isn't that exciting!!!!!!! !!
"same for locoroco. It just starts it any dosn't ask me to update."
you telling me your dev hook runs loco roco full game off the umd??? honestly??
I couldnt get mine to do that so i upgraded back to 2.6 , and I'm no 'noob' before you say it..
what version of dev hook were you using? this new one? please reply..or anyone else thats got loco working off the umd NOT THE ISO
"and run UMDs that require firmware version 1.5"
That should be 2.5 and below, not 1.5...
seriously.....i loaded it or whatever.....but what is it for?
if you want loco roco to work you will need to download the patch from www.maxconsole.net, join forum search for loco roco patch its by a guy called "meetjoeblack", make sure you download ppf o-matic too, theres a link to it on the page with the lco roco patch...and make sure you check the file size of the iso before patching, make sure it corresponds with the size nexts to the patch hyperlink on the maxconsole page. Hope this clears up any confusion on this matter
Devhook does a 2.xx - 2.00 thing so everything should work!
I think the guy wants the UMD to run on devhook not the iso.
DBZ worked on 041d and MicroMachines V4
no need to get new dumps or anything now is there? we can just use the old 2.00 and 2.50 dumps that we used with earlier devhook releases, yes???
Alot of my games are 2.6 required and they all dont work with this.. and the 2.xx -> 2.00 thing doesnt work half the time. Its made it able to get to the loading screen of syphon filter than it just crashes
I own SOCOM, and wouldn't risk downgrading from 2.0 to if I wouldn't be able to play. So it's certain it will work? With the last ones, it emulated perfectly except with WiFi.
I said nothing of piracy. And even if I did, it should be the PSP owners option of what to do with thier PSP as long as thier aware of the risk. Sony is blocking out a lot more than piracy with these updates, and without kernal mode, I can't play some of the best homebrew games, like the modable Super Smash Bros clone somebody made.
Already works with Devhook .41d
Just tried Socom seems to work online. I logged in succesfully and am joining a game right now :)
yes it plays online i have done it myself.
just don't overclock the psp to 333mhz. Use 222mhz.
most of us didn't know about homebrew until after we upgraded our psp's. when i came home after i had upgraded my psp and found out homebrew was only for 1.5 i started crying really bad
doesn't read UMDs here. If I run it with the disc in, I get the wavy things and the PSP locks up, if I run it with no UMD the XMB shows up fine but if I insert an UMD it does nothing.
installed 41d again and everything is back to normal
I can't get this to work i have tried everything, i have even read tutoria;ls on how to dump the firmware files and also what options to put when u load devhook. If someone has had the same problem and figured it out please help me with this as i want to play my psp games that need 2.5
I am assuming you have not properly installed firmwares 2.0 and 2.5 into devhook. You need to download firmwares 2.0 and 2.5 and use the firmware installer thing that comes with devhook. It should be like the next icon down when choosing to launch devhook.
I am not sure if this version comes with it. If it doesn't download version .40 and it should have the firmware installer. If you have a UMD that has firmware 2.0 you can use that with the firmware installer(its a lot easier this way).
Same thing for 2.5 and don't forget you need both.
If you don't want to go through all of this mess join ps2nfo.com and download devhook through them. I think theres comes with the firmwares already installed.
I have tried the previous versions of this program and it will reboot the xmb and allow me to use the webbrowser and stuff, but it just says an error like "the disc cannot be started, the region code is incorrect".
I am using the Spiderman 2 UMD as my disc (because i cant find my UMD sampler disc thing), but is this why i can't load ISO's?
Can someone please provide a link to the devhook 0.42 and dump files please because I can't find them!
yes, you need a game umd or sampler disc.
2.5>2.6>1.5
this code fully decides my need for 1.5 :)
i love you ;)
he he
sony , dunk your bread lol
ok so I had the first version of devhook, and it was running streetfighter fine, so Ive d/l and installed this new version and i get the black screen and turning off..
when I dont use umd emulator to load the iso first, then the 2.60 version runs fine...
any ideas?
how do you make this thing work
notepad is all messed up
Ok now its working fine.... strange...
i think this is not working whith datel 4 gb?? does any one have this problem??
my european version of Socom doesn't work anymore. It used to work with the previous version (0.41d) :-(. Can somebody confirm?
so when do we get wifi with it?
to 53
wifi works with this
wifi has been with it from the start. Just don't overclock to 333mhz.
@53
wifi has been with it from the start. Just don't overclock to 333mhz.
at ps2nfo.com
there is a fix for the 333mhz so wifi works with that too
search around and you will find fixes
i have been using wifi at 333mhz for awhile now
Please add Cygwin to the todo list!
BTW wifi works but only on 222mhz
you know how you ad the 2.00 and 2.5 fw has anybody try to add 2.6 fw insted i mean since theres a 2.6 downgrader whats the harm . are is there a possiblety of a brick
I posted earlier about devhook not finding my iso folder, i erased the devhook.ini file and when it rebooted it found the iso folder and isos. Sorry for taking up space.
awesome comment ugh (post 9)
i dont want to play iso just homebrew and new games that i have that take 2.6 fw my dad and brother are cops any buddy that wants play iso is there prob you dig
Wow, look at all the relentless unhappy people. For God's sake you should be thankful that now you can use your headset remote, and have better XMB movement(ala grfx fix). As for myself, I'm just glad to have the remote and backgrounds of 2.++. Give the guy credit because if you just keep harrasing, this might end up being another Dev who would otherwise leave the scene.(There is a list!)
Booster has done an amazing job. He has given all of the "PURISTS" out there extra features, while giving the "D_G'd 2.5/2.6->1.5" crowd something that they are more than familiar with.
So Hat's Off to Booster, I think You've done Awesome!!!
Wtf is this remote thing that they're talking about?! Are they talking about IR Commander or any homebrew that uses the IR port??
This foobar'd my 1.50's settings (I got a blue screen saying to reset my PSP)
@70
hold down your power button for like 5 sec to hard restart
where do i find a dump 2.6 and i can run Metal Gear Acid 2 on devhook
srry for my english guys!!!!!!
Hi guys,
Im a noob to this forum and been running a downgraded to 1.5 PS with an old version of DevHook for some time now. So I'd like to upgrade to this version.
Can someone please give info on how to get this new version up and running. The txt files in the RAR give no useful info (that I can see anyway). Do I need to upgrade to 2.0/2.5 and then back down again? If so, where can I get the dumpfiles?
Cheers guys.
Step by step guide on how to setup DevHook 0.42
Before you start make sure you have a PSP with firmware 1.50
1. Download DevHook 0.42
2. Go into the MS-Root folder in the DevHook download and copy the dh and psp folder onto the root of your mem-stick.
3. Download pbp unpacker(you'll have to find it on your own)
4.Download 2.50 update(from PSP Updates :)
5. Open the update with pbp unpacker and extract all the files to wherever you want (the file needed is the data.psar)
6. Get the data.psar from the extracted update and put that onto the root of your mem-stick
7. On the psp choose devhook installer and start that, then when you are in the eboot start the installer, at the end of the installation it will ask if you want to copy your flash1, press O to copy flash1 settings
8. When everything is done open DevHook and use these settings:
UMD Select: (choose your iso, cso or --UMD DISC--)
UMD Mount: ISO ANYUMD
UMD Version: 2.xx > 2.00
Firmware: 2.50
CPU Clock: 222MHz / 111MHz (that is what I always use no problems)
Boot Select: Reboot XMB
When selecting a UMD Disc with the UMD Select option the other settings will be changed automatically so the UMD will run, the settings can be changed back later by pressing O when DevHook is auto-starting.
9. (optional)Use PSP ISO Compressor to compress the ISO into cso format for use with DevHook. This helps with MS space (pretty simple yo use)
Where to put your iso/cso
Some people don't know where there iso/cso/dax (dax isn't compatible with DevHook by the way) goes, it goes in a folder called ISO in the root of you mem-stick (this applies to all loaders).
Your psp isn't now a 2.50
Some people seem to think their psp is now 2.50 it is not just hold down the power button until the psp turns off completely, boot the psp back up and it will be back to 1.50. It never actually installs anything to the psp it just runs the dump from the mem-stick, if it made the psp update to 2.50 nobody would use it.
How to install new verions if you already have a previous version set up
Whenever you download a new version of DevHook you can insatall it without having to re-install the dump. When you have downloaded the latest version of devhook go into the MS_ROOT > PSP > GAME > and remove the DevHook installer eboots. Now go back into the MS_ROOT folder so you are just presented with the folders dh and PSP, now just copy these two folders into the root of your mem-stick and then if a message comes up saying something like "If the files in the folder have the same name do you want to replace them?" click "yes to all".
so i overlapped 0.41d files with 0.42 and booted it up
when i tried to run my Initial D UMD through devhook which ran with 0.41d and now it doesnt run with 0.42...
should i try again without overlapping again? or do a fresh 0.42 install?
when my psp reboots after running devhook...it doesnt go into Initial D directly...and goes back to XMB (psp menu)...and when i try to go into the umd through the game menu it tells me to update from 2.5 to 2.6
I'm a proud 1.5 user and have been using this Devhook since 0.40 and now using 0.41d. now that this new version is out, I'm probably going to try it too. Thanks to Booster for making this FW emulator and made me alive again with my PSP at the time when I already felt so down as new games required the upgrades but I'm not going to do so as I love my 1.5 so much. now, with this devhook, I'm enjoying my psp a lot more and never been happier with it! LONG LIVE BOOSTER!! Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward for later fw emulation, like 2.6 and 2.7x
p/s: and for all the 2.5/2.6, don't wait, just downgrade and u know we have Booster to bring u back to where u were!!
I bet many of the people here have downgraded from 2.50/2.60 - 1.50 and dont know how to use a 1.50.(google`n for answers `n checking forums helps. ;) .)
Think some people should of stayed at 2.50/2.60.
hello guys i wish to know how i play my 2.6 games because i have katamary and some ppl said you can run 2.6 games so can you help me :)
srry im again asking where do i find a psp compresor
srry for my english
Thanks for the help milo22, now i just have to find my sampler disc (or ask my friend if i can have his lol)
and Sean (number 79), you sound like you have rar files there. Try installing winrar and then right click one of those files and then click "extract here" (if it lets you). If it doesn't let you, install winrar and open winrar and then find the directory with those files and then right click one of the files (in winrar) and select "extract to the specified folder".
Hope this helps.
Booster must be an idiot.
There has been WIFI 333/166 mhz fix since 0.41a
AND there also has been mods to use USB function with Devhook.
And why is he not adding these great things in his latest?
WE HAVE NO IDEA
i was not trying to harass any one i guess i frased it wrong i just to say if you wont to run iso that is your buisness sorry if anybody took it wrong. what about dumping 2.6 fw insted of 2.5
Wifi 333fix is in the DUMP not in the program...
And if there are ppl that do the USB function mods, why he will bother doing it?
i know that Monster Hunter Freedom works with this but does only an ISO work or can i use my UMD?
well this is more stable then the last one but now i cant play dbz. think ill stick with the last version
0.42 > 0.42a
- NoUMD bugfix (1.5x)
- Return value of dhGetVersion() from 0x00004200 to 0x00420001
if you already installed 0.42, only devhook.prx needs to be replaced to upgrade to 42a
"I bet many of the people here have downgraded from 2.50/2.60 - 1.50 and dont know how to use a 1.50.(google`n for answers `n checking forums helps. ;) .)
Think some people should of stayed at 2.50/2.60."
Hmm.. What a strange coincidence. I think some people should HAVE just stayed at 3rd grade, so that they would know some basic grammar and spelling rules.
You're an idiot. It's dififcult for new users, and you should not expect them to know everything, and besides the point, PSP USERS ARE MORONS. And you know it is true. A PSP user is not smart enough to know even HOW to search for answers on these things. Maybe 95% of them are too dumb. Sure, there are the top 5% like me, and POSSIBLY you, but then again it does not matter as people like you would rather spout elitisms than actually help the lower 95%.
Alucard,
Many thanks for the info. Installed a dream!
I thought this might give me use of the functions from v2.0 though - things like the ability to use the web browser, etc, but those options do not appear to be available on my PSP.
Is there something else Is hould be doing/have done prior to this?
Cheers again
guys i need to find a program that will un rar homebrew files. my winrar programs' free trial is up
what an absolute fecking rip, I've tried installing this on my xbox under xbmc and also unleashX and it doesn't run. I even tried running it on the linux washing machine using clever algorithmic techniques...seems it only runs on PSP, no good to me, when are we going to see devhook for other devices, I want to run GTA on my fridge...
i tryed ure instructions, but when it comes to the firmwere thing, it sez that it cant find the file, but i know it IS in there, help!
.....forget it!
Having one of those days!
DOH!
download limewire do a search you will find what you need
Freeware ZIP program here that copes with RAR files:
http://www.estsoft.com/en/Products/ALTools/tabid/63/Default.aspx
:o)
its been on the todo list since virson one to get it working on 2.7. i don't think thare really going to do it so easy, its more like a dream then a somthing thare just going to do
i did that exact same thing you did but i still get a "disc could not be read" error, i tried to load sfa3max.cso. and i was using a game umd. any ideas?
2.71 emulation is very possible in the not too distant future. With kernal mode being unlocked on 2.5/6, people can now find the decryption keys stored in the kernal, these keys wouldn't have changed for 2.71. So although we don't have kernal mode unlocked on 2.71 we can still decrypt it and emulate it with devhook, it's only a matter of time.
i need a .rar unzipper. that earlier link didn't work. coan somebody send me a megaupload link or osmethin?
do u have winace cause u just downloaded a broken up ace file just open the .001 file and then it will open winace if u have it installed then clikc the file ot select it then click extract then pick where to put it. then u have the iso if that is what u downloaded.
is winace a program that'll let me extrat .rar files?
yes but if u should just get winrar for rar files
k well winrar costs money.does winace?the whole thing is my winrar free trial is almost up. wat other rar extracting programs are there?
Link for ZIP program works fine - just tested.
Use Google and search for ALZIP - its free! Works on ZIP, RAR, TAR, CAB, etc
All these noobs are all 2.6 downgraders, this just really kinda sucks. Nobody knows what the hell they are doing... I can't wait for a 3.0 to come out so we can get rid of these noobs who have no idea of what they are doing. These questions are just so idiotic.
BTW, when you have trouble, look the answer up. Don't always aks questions when you run into a little problem. I'm sure you can find an answer to your problems through google or the forums.
Yaknow, there's forums here for asking these kinds of questions. With a whole search function, just for finding the tutorials that will help you install and use devhook.
Kindly try getting off your lazy buttocks, and use that cobwebbed brain of yours. Firefox has a google search bar for a reason -- use it. And if you're still using IE, get google toolbar, or dump IE and use firefox instead.
For those looking for something to extract RAR files, just go and get 7-zip -- it's free & LGPL and it'll happily extract RARs.
http://www.7-zip.org/
http://www.getfirefox.com/
And the Loco Roco UMD works fine with devhook 0.42a. Wifi's broken though.
For those asking to get .DAX'd isos working on devhook, do a search for CSOnDAX.exe -- it can convert .DAX to .CSO, .ISO to .DAX, .ISO to .CSO, CSO to .ISO, and .DAX to .ISO.
http://perso.orange.fr/sanaell/psp/CSOnDAX.rar
And for any other questions, UTFS! (Use The Frakkin' Search!)
Just coz Im a noob on this forum, doesn't nec mean I'm a noob to 1.5!
Personally was just a little confused about upgrading to new DH version...
:o)
NOOOOOOOOO.... this will BRICK your PSP
n00b be warned ;)
Can somebody post a Step by
Step on how to "update" devhook to 0.42 from 0.41d?
Thnx!
:worshipy:
Stop asking how to load ISO's, yes devhook can do it, but why don't you try doing a bit of reading, you migbht suprise yourself. In fact on this very page a few people have posted with step by step instructions, for example number 74. use your *****ing eyes.
all you can see is "how do I load illegal iso's," "I downloaded a game, how to I extract"
1st-backup up a game is still illegal EVEN if you own the game
2nd-once your free trial with winrar is up, IT STILL WORKS the same...I've been using a free trial for the past year...
yeah.. ppl that needs help should go to the forum..
no one actually reads thru hundreds of post to see who's having what problem
Thanks, devhook is one must have loader.
Does devhook load .cso files?
No it isn't, #119 - just because they put a little message in their manual saying you can't make a personal backup doesn't make it the law.
sry about that. I do try and help others, but u can only say it so many time`s in the simplest way and they still wont understand.
@122
Rename your cso to iso
Alucard you are the best at explaining the dump installation!!! ! thank you very much nicely running now my 41d worked perfectly but i had trouble with this, if you are confused and it wont work then read #74 by Alucard!!!
Would rather have had 2.6+ support, but I'm not going to complain, others are putting their own time into this, they didn't have to.
Oh, and not everyone who downgraded is a complete noob. I've seen at least 3 other people besides myself who have yet to ask a question about 1.5 brew. Some of us know google exists.
You guys make me sick! Playing ripped UMD's instead of buying...That's why we should make less and less games, and in 2007 the PSP will be dumped by us...
nocomment
It's obvious that most people are just using DevHook to run pirated games.
If everyone just downloads ISOs then there will be no new games and the PSP will die.
I for one don't want that to happen - so I run 2.71 and *pay* for the games I want.
42 is the answer. not the question.
the answer of the ultimate question about life, the universe and everything.
@131,
thats not true, if it wasnt for devhook, i would have real trouble running any of my games other than coded arms, and i have bought all of these.
Awesome prog, works like a charm. I could never get my gta umd to run on the older versions devhook. This version works beautifully.
I don't suppose people could actually start to read through the thread or forums for help, rather then just asking the same questions again? People on here do try to help out, and do post help, all you need to do is actually read through it and put a little bit of time and effort in. It worked for me anyway.
And as a side note, thanks to everyone who does post help on here, it really is appriciated, and thanks to Booster as well for a great bit of software.
does this work with iso now
beacuse i can't load isos the another versions
129 is clearly a raging homo. devhook is used just as much for running umds on our 1.5 psp. If you honestly think the psp is going to get dumped, then you are even dumber than you look.
(which is most of you)
#9 is right to an extent.
come on, all the information is widely available. dont rely on everyone else to s***** feed you all.
I've been reading that it can't emulate 2.6. I can pop my Loco Roco demo UMD which requires 2.6, and I can load it fine.
Does the monster hunter umd actually work....not the iso
i know this was asked before but it wasnt answered
plz can someone check
well Duddee I don't know about the UMD but the ISO monster hunter works
is monster hunter a 2.5 or 2.6 fw game if its 2.6 i might wait on buying it till 2.71 is emulated Im not a big fan on running isos especially since they run slower on the MS then a UMD with this program. So if anyone can help and see if it the umd works even if it is 2.6 let me know. I want this game but im not stupid enough to update to 2.6 even with the downgrader.
Dude the games run faster off of memory stick than they do UMD. That's the only reason I'm on 1.5. I could use my UMDs, but it's faster to change them to ISO and run through devhook.
If UMD was faster, I'd be on 2.71.
Well i was experienceing that and i heard others saying that as well. I used some of my legal backup of Street fighter on iso and it was chuggy at times mainly movie portions which isn't a big deal but when i ran it off the umd it ran flawless. So eitherway i don't care but im still interested if Monster Hunter is 2.5 or 2.6 because Id like to own the game and be able to use the UMD as well before I use the ISO. Its just a wierd thing for me I like owning the original to encourage the production of better games.
I want to downgrade my 2.0 to 1.5 and use this program, however I am unsure what firmware version I need to use to downgrade. Mine is a Euro PSP, but I have only found US 1.5 firmware. Do I need to use a european 1.5 firmware or is my euro psp able to use a US firmware? Anyones help on this question would be appreciated.
It doesnt work on devhook 0.41d but i dont know about this one... I have the umd but i dont want to get rid of my devhook right now becaouse i already have it all installed good so if anyone can check it i would appreciate it.
ref #74's excellent step by step thanks dude!! can some please post a link for the 2.50 update thats require. i have googled for a good 30 mins and cant find it.
to the guys who keep slagging all us noobs off, it does not help, AT ALL alucards step by step is useful and VERY helpful, if more of you helped out then the, what might be an easy question to you is actually a stubbling block for use noobs, then there would be less *****ing going on. and EG for you of some questions i have but i will try find out first before i dive in and ask...... where do i save the dev files, where do i save the games i down on my MC so i can then play them, what do i need to play the games, what are emulators and what are there jobs, whats the best one to use.... ***** the list goes on. SO IN FUTURE GUYS IF SOME ONE IS ASKING FOR HELP ITS BECAUSE THEY NEED HELP..... SO PLS HELP OUT THEN, they wouldnt be asking if they had found the answer on their searching!!!!!! !!!!!!
#92
If you want 2.0 function as well I would recommend uninstalling Devhook (or begin with a fresh format:), download the 2.0 Firmware update and follow these EXTRA step. (this step should be followed between 4 & 5)
4a)Open the (2.0) update with pbp unpacker and extract all the files to wherever you want (the file needed is the data.psar)
4b) Get the data.psar from the extracted update and put that onto the root of your mem-stick
4c)On the psp choose devhook installer and start that, then when you are in the eboot start the installer, at the end of the installation it will ask if you want to copy your flash1, *DO NOT COPY THE FLASH1 SETTINGS*
The rest of the steps 5,6 & 7 are repeated with 2.5 firmware update.
#101
Try these same steps (I believe it will work) if not you will need to find an ISO "fix". By the way this is for a legally obtained back-up ISO right???
#126 Thanks!
thanks again alucard
All firware updates can be found right on PSP Updates!!
Just use the search button under "Featured Content"
google not even needed then :)
The reason I updated to 2.6 was that I had a UK street fighter game that needed me to update and at the time there was no downgader or Devhook. Now I have downgraded to 1.5 and have Devhook and I think its great!!!. Mind you i am also looking forward to the new kernal eloader for 2.6 as well, but using Devhook is the best if you dont need 2.6. Maybe in the future 2.6 may be cracked and used in Devhook.
the search tool is kinda pants use the navigation tabs below it (files) then search in there guys comes up as
PSP Firmware 2.50 File (EBOOT) North America
#74 and #150 followed your instructions to the letter and works thx... you mention about an ISO file in our root of MC is this where all homebrew games go for use to play them?
I found a program that lets you play 2.6 games on 1.5 without devhook. Its called Genesis UMD Launcher 2.6 and it works great look for it @ psp-hacks.com
hey does anybody know of any good umd dumpers that will put the dump in my directory of ISO. i really need a good dumper. fastloader is good, but it dosn't dump to iso format
hey does anybody know of any good umd dumpers that will put the dump in my directory of ISO. i really need a good dumper. fastloader is good, but it dosn't dump to iso format
i have 2 of the best loaders and id say that i run a lot of games using dax loader. i compress the files to dax and am on a trial and error basis.. i just like dax cox i dont have to reboot the unit when iwan to change games.
all of u *****ing downgraders: STFU. End of discussion
hey does anybody know of any good umd dumpers that will put the dump in my directory of ISO. i really need a good dumper. fastloader is good, but it dosn't dump to iso format
#161 YOU STFU! Those NOOBS are revenue for this site in the for of advertisements. =)
put DH_ENG and DH_ENG% in the game folder on your psp. Launch
A Great Idea would be to get this to be able to have full 2.5 emulation AND be able to play homebrew without restarting the psp back to 1.5 but that sounds like it might be harder to do but it would be good for people like me still carrying around just a 32 mb memory card cause we are cheap! Lmao
any1 heard of plans 4 a 2.60 (or higher) devhook comming out? i upgrader to 2.60 for Syphone filter (and other games) and would downgrade to 1.5 if there was a way to play it.
Jeffy, fastloader does dump to ISO format but if I remember right (I use DAX dumper now) it doesn't actually put .ISO at the end of the file name, so change the name of a fastloader dump from "my latest dump" to "my latest dump.ISO" and it will work
To snake : To change ISO's in Devhook hold down the home button and press L or R so you don't even need to reboot or load the program again ala DAX Loader.
To Noin : It was there choice to downgrade, just because they dont fully understand how something works doesn't mean you can ***** about them not understanding it. I know how to use this program well enough yet I'm still in the dark about the two options under Remote Ctrl, but atleast I'm helping to answer questions. If you are so annoyed at people asking questions over and over then answer the questions when you post to try and clear up the confusion. Some people here need to grow up
does anybody know of any good un raring programs
The ISO directory you creates MS_Root is for ISO's only (or CSO's). To play homebrew you have to drop the homebrew game/app into PSP/GAME directory.
Yes, noobs might seem annoying sometimes, but this is supposed to be a COMMUNITY. But the PSP community is absolutely notorious for being a bunch of ungrateful wankers, full of idiots who only talk ***** and whine about the developers not doing this or that, completely unappreciative of the dev's work. Most noobs come here looking for help, and a lot of them have already run searches and probably couldnt find an answer to their specific question (although some noobs do have pretty basic questions, indicating they didn't run a search). Regardless, the hostility of the PSP community is shocking compared to the treatment of noobs in other communities. I get the feeling that most of you are immature 13-14 year old herbs who watch too much hentai.
People like Alucard are a rarity in the PSP updates community.
And show some *****ing appreciation for the devs' work.
#160 you dont have to reboot the unit for switching iso its same time than daxziso
#166 for play 2.6 game u have to swap the prx 2.6 with 2.5 prx of street riders and starwars battlefront 2 u got all Prx u need for run ANY game v2.6
True *****
STFU NOOB
Wait so if i change the 2.5 prx and put a 2.6 in its place i will emulate 2.6? so i can play 2.6 games. If so when i boot up and quit the game will that put me in 2.6 firmware or is it just for loading isos?
Kamilion -you seem to know what you're talking about ...
LOCO ROCO UMD...NOT ISO... is there anything special i need to be doing to get this to work on dev hook .42???
It keeps asking me to update..I'm no noob (not that it should matter - we all gotta learn somehow) but I would appreciate a little help of someone..
Again , its NOT THE ISO - its the umd..a few people on here says it works..I'm doubtful..
I was just messing around with this devhook and used the genesis loader i mentioned earlier and copied all the files that was in the x folder taht had 2.6 .prx and flash1 files nad replaced them in the dh/250 folder and when i loaded it at first it game me an error saying that my files were corrupt its gonna need to fix them. I was like OMFG im gonna brick my psp, I though the fix would actually write to the flash and it wrote to the ms thank god and it fixed it and it said on my system information 2.60 i haven't tried anygames since i have no games but ppl go try it and see what u get if this works that will be awesome.
nocomment
I can't seem to get it to do it again my devhook won't load the firmware now it just freezes. Don't try it or you are gonna have to reinstall the fw dump for 2.5. At least its recoverable. Now gonna repaet that procdure and see if it happens again. ATM do not try it. I don't want to get flamed for faking and crap could have been a fluke but i wounder what files it copied over to fix it.
what does the two files do in the tools folder?
"I've been reading that it can't emulate 2.6. I can pop my Loco Roco demo UMD which requires 2.6, and I can load it fine."
using what?? this dev hook...another version?? how do you bypass the umd asking you to update???
I call bu@@*****......sorry but prove me wrong , i think you're referring to the ISO file not the UMD
will be sticking with 41d
Its not working for me.
Thanks Booster for the awesome update. People here are so f'ing ignorant. Booster isnt required to do any of this for you, so be grateful. And another thing, Im sorry to say, but 2.6/2.5 users probably wont find any use in version 1.5 since they cant even transfer a file from their harddrive to the PSP. Its like transferring an Mp3. You take the file, you drag it in the specified folder, you open the application and There you go. And stop complaining....
1.Devhook 0.42
2.Link2.1 pre22
3.daxziso 0.62
4.X-flash v10
5.IR shell 1.6
6.AFKIM v2 (instant messenger MSN...)
7.PSPradio 0.38+
8.Snes9xTYL
9.Dgen 1.60
10.Fileassistant
and also 2 more nice PSPXTI 1.0.6 (calculator) and Jpeg Viewer (for check photo) PMP for movie would be nice if u like see movie on ur psp but not me
I heard that Field Commander works on .41d. I havent heard anything for .042
can anyone confirm this for me?
Is anyone able to help me or not?

i would really appreciate it if someone could email me the 1.5 dump so i could downgrade.
my email address is steve_rosenthal 123
thankyou
Thanks for the step by step instructions, i never would've figured it out on my own. I'm such an idiot, lol.
Thanks to Booster, Alucard & yes even Kyle M. for their contributions here.
If There was a way they could make this run on the eloader would it allow 2.5/2.6 users to run 1.5 and 2.0 via devhook
this program is not better than 41d
because you cant even run socom with out it telling you to update but the old verison works
if someelse is getting the same result with socom please send me a message

whenever i use this the xmb boots but after the wavy lines stop in the center and the psp freezes. Then when i hard reset, i get the blue corrupt screen which scares the hell out of me. I thought this wasnt supposed to write to flash. Anyone got any ideas about what im doing wrong?? tnx
42a files from the rar archive seems to be older than the 42.
I cant get this any version over .41 to work >.< im doing the same thing it just wont boot the game.... and i dont know what remotre controller is

how do i install devhook can someone make a installation tree or something
Seems version 0.42b is already released ;)
THIS HAS REPLACED MY COLDBOOT SOUND WITH THE ORIGINAL PSP BOOTSOUND - ALSO DELETED MY CONNECTION SETTINGS.
nothing that's not fixable but I wont be using this until it's been updated again
I am a longtime 1.5 user that upgraded to 2.0 as soon as GTA came out then downgraded back to 1.5 to have some more fun when i got bored with GTA. When Syphon Filter came out, I upgraded to 2.6 in order to play it. Devhook came out after my 1.5 days, I've read alot of people reporting that some 2.6 FW games run on Devhook. I'd like to know if Syphon Filter UMD (not pirated iso garbage, the actual umd) will load w/ the newest Devhook. I read up above someone talking about it freezing after theload screen but wasn't very detailed.
Anyone else try the Syphon UMD on devhook 0.42a? Thnx
I've put the 0.42 version on my PSP and it won't start my Loco Roco CSO. It just freezes when in start the CSO. And then the 0.42a version was out I thought; Maybe it's a bug and 0.42a fixes it and I can play my Loco Roco CSO. But it also freezes. So I put 0.41d back and I can play my Loco Roco CSO again..Why can't I play my Loco Roco CSO on 0.42 and above? Can someone help me?
9. » just great
look at these questions.... i wish the 2.5/6 downgrader never got released.
these people were on higher firmwares for one reason, that being they're morons.
the flood of piracy has come.
...come on man, they aren't stupid, more like ignorenet... you have to remember that the downgrader expanded the communtiy, and these kids havent been exposed to some of the 1.5 homebrew
if you think you're special because you got a psp before 2.01 was out get yourself a plastic vagina - coz you're never gonna get laid
more 1.5's in the world is a very good thing...
THERE IS NOW A NEW UPDATE ON THE SITE.
im gettin kinda ticked at all thse noobs asking stupid questions and like saying stupid things
they shoulda been payin attention to the stuff even tho they were on 2.5/2.6
I just Claim for ONE THING
DEV HOOK running 2.7 firmware, i need Flash support!!!
and Loco Roco xd
ok , Ive now seen several posts , on this site , and others that specifically say that peeps have got LOCO ROCO UMD running with DEV hook...
HOW??
posts #15 #114 - please respond to this!!
SOmeone please tell me because I think its bullsh1t..
NOT THE ISO - the UMD..
Just make the ISO for loco roco if you have the UMD. But I can only get the game to work up to the last level of world 3, then if crashes.
I spent days trying to get GTA LCS to work on my 1.5 PSP. This one finally did it for me, use post #74's guide to set it all up. Easy... Thanks a lot!
Are they ever going to fix the 4gb HDD issue? It always black screens.
LONG LIVE TO #74!!!
all you ppl are a bunch of *****z... holy man all ya'll can suck on my nutz, bout! who ever jus downgrader from 2.6 stop asking and stop this forum b.s. seeen? ***** PSPUPDATES and ***** ALL THESE FORUMS BEFORE ME HAHAHA!
@ #170, #191, #192, #214 and anybody else I forgot to mention. Thank you for your kind words. I can't take all the credit for the tutorial I just pieced it together from different sites and tried to make as easy to follow as possible.
I'd also like to thank Booster for such a great app!
Again for those who are still having trouble installing check out my original posts #74 and #150.
Not sure why, 0.42b runs ok, but when I hit HOME button to return to the XMB screen after playing my 2.50 firmware required UMD game, it freezes. Have to reboot from there. Anyone has this problem?
That's right, 2.71 is officially decrypted:
http://forums.qj.net/showthread.php?t=58007
Oh yeah, it's happened.
Although, it can't be used via emulation yet, Devhook needs to be updated to be 2.71 compatible.
Omg 218 give booster some credit u n00b!!!
Anywayz I wonder if its possible to emulate 2.71?
I hope so and i think Booster is smart enough to know how. By the way I think its great that there is now a 2.6/2.5 dgrader!!! It will make the homebrew community bigger and better. (I used to be a n00b and went and upgraded my 1.5 and that was b4 the downgrader came out. So I just traded my 2.6 and 2 games for a 1.5. Now people wont have to take such drastic measures lol)
Oh and did I mention... BOOSTER IS GOD!!!!!!
I get the same results on 42b.. when exiting my game to the xmb it freezes and crashes the psp.. had to replace 42b with 42a files and everything seems to be ok now
Anybody know what the NAND Driver emulation will do and also what the different reboot modes do in devhook, I have always used "reboot xmb" but the other options *****ling me to find out what they do, for example:
Reboot UMD (1.5 ONLY)
Reboot RunUMD (1.5 ONLY)
...ETC
Surely none of these other options are needed as the reboot xmb option works a treat?
C'mon dude, booster wont support that horrible psp parasite that spoils the psp looks
0.41d was running 2.6 UMD's such as Street fighter 3 Alpha (EUR) perfectly, but does not seem to play on 0.42a or b.
Seems like the 2.xx > 2.00 UMD feature is not working with the new release. Is everyone else noticing this?
Note: NOT ISO's, UMD's!
Awesome news!
2.71 FW is now cracked too and hopefully will be incorporated into Devhook soon...WOOT!
the 42b it has of the defects jams when it is attempted to return to the dash through the Home key! while the 42a it works well!
Wil lthere be a 1.00 version, since the downgrader just game out?
http://www.planetpsp.org/news.php?readmore=162
if anyone could email me the firmware dumps for devhook at hwthe_end@yahoo .com I would appreciate it.
p.s. Im not a noob!
I've used devhook to visit the world of fw2.50 since the first release but I still have some confusion about these new updates.
at first, I really didn't care about the malfunctioning wifi on 333Mhz but, as games and web browser run best on 333MHz, I'm now back to 0.41a with wifi fix but eagerly want to update. I also notice that somebody up there have posted that the reason for the mulfunctioning is not in the devhook program itself, but in the dump side. (actually, still quite blur with this fact too...)
sorry if I foreseen if there was already a solution for this. my question is how to update devhook to 0.42b with 333Mhz wifi fix available? is it possible? any help would be so much appreciated
thanx in advance!
Can devhook load UMDs cuz i got it and installed it and the UMD symbol didnt come up
when you get update screen press o and then go into game option and scroll down to devhook and press x. on the dev hook screen press o and change firmware setting to 2.6 and then start. should be ok
Since 2.71 has decrayted. A newer version of DevHook will come out, and able to emu 2.71 FW, DEMOS! and higher games accessible.
I
Can Devhook play all Isos and UMDs up to firmware 2.5 ...i have it and im a little confused so can someone please comment back
is the update version worth downloading?
i need the 2.5 update - please - anyone?
gw_rbi
I had the last one. do i download all 3 downloads?
@234: No, I am afriad you have to wait for the new one to come out, that one is going to be with 2.71 games compatiable.
@235: Yes, you have to extract the DATA.PSAR file from 2.50 Update then put it on the root of your MS, then lauch the installer eboot on the psp, press circle to install. Then lauch DEVHOOK Laucher to emu 2.50, for now.
@236: Yes, if you want a up to date version. Much safer.
@237: Check the file section of QJ-PSP( You have to search for it in the file section or chose firmware update on the left).

GREAT, now this guys is right, PIRACY FLOOD, you people who tries to run isos, if you can't get it to work, DON'T, just quit, the more you do this, the faster you KILL the gaming industry, and the more WE legit people need to pay for games, stop pirating! MAN! ISOS SUCKS I DON'T CARE IF YOU PEOPLE USE ISO AND FLAME ME, THE FACTS ARE THERE, GAME PRICE RAISES AND NOBODY BUYS GAME, IN THE FUTURE THERE WILL BE NO GAME FOR YOU TO PIRATE BECAUSE YOU KILLED THE GAMING INDUSTRY!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! wake up!
also, the people that are above even 2.0 ARE idiots, so many of you people regret you updated, well its your fault only, nobody made you update, and most of you knew about homebrew already, im not saying people who bought the 2.0+psp without knowing homebrew, I'm talking about idiots who updated with full kowning that they can't get homebrew, its their fault and them only them don't deserve this great downgreader
hey when you use the data.psar
is it suppose to dissapear after you emulate it
