Does this mean that I can play DBZ or Street Fighter on 1.5?

Yes you can!

yes finally great release!!!

this is the #1 iso loader. thanx Booster!

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.

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.

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!!!!!!! !!

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

I think the guy wants the UMD to run on devhook not the iso.

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???

Just tried Socom seems to work online. I logged in succesfully and am joining a game right now :)

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

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 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?

yes, you need a game umd or sampler disc.

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?

Ok now its working fine.... strange...

my european version of Socom doesn't work anymore. It used to work with the previous version (0.41d) :-(. Can somebody confirm?

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

awesome comment ugh (post 9)

This foobar'd my 1.50's settings (I got a blue screen saying to reset my PSP)

where do i find a dump 2.6 and i can run Metal Gear Acid 2 on devhook

srry for my english 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".

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 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.

srry im again asking where do i find a psp compresor



srry for my english

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

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?

well this is more stable then the last one but now i cant play dbz. think ill stick with the last version

"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%.

guys i need to find a program that will un rar homebrew files. my winrar programs' free trial is up

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!

download limewire do a search you will find what you need

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.

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.

yes but if u should just get winrar for rar files

Can somebody post a Step by

Step on how to "update" devhook to 0.42 from 0.41d?

Thnx!

:worshipy:

Thanks, devhook is one must have loader.

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.

@122



Rename your cso to iso

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.

nocomment

42 is the answer. not the question.

the answer of the ultimate question about life, the universe and everything.

Awesome prog, works like a charm. I could never get my gta umd to run on the older versions devhook. This version works beautifully.

does this work with iso now

beacuse i can't load isos the another versions

(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.

Does the monster hunter umd actually work....not the iso

i know this was asked before but it wasnt answered

plz can someone check

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.

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.

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.

#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!

All firware updates can be found right on PSP Updates!!



Just use the search button under "Featured Content"

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.

#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?

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.

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

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.

does anybody know of any good un raring programs

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.

True *****

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?

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.

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.

"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

Its not working for me.

1.Devhook 0.42

2.Link2.1 pre22

3.daxziso 0.62

4.X-flash v10

5.IR shell 1.6

Is anyone able to help me or not?



"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."

I cant work the dbz iso help!!!

i would really appreciate it if someone could email me the 1.5 dump so i could downgrade.

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

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

THERE IS NOW A NEW UPDATE ON THE SITE.

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..

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!

LONG LIVE TO #74!!!

@ #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.

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.

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

C'mon dude, booster wont support that horrible psp parasite that spoils the psp looks

Awesome news!



2.71 FW is now cracked too and hopefully will be incorporated into Devhook soon...WOOT!

Wil lthere be a 1.00 version, since the downgrader just game out?

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!

Can devhook load UMDs cuz i got it and installed it and the UMD symbol didnt come up

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.

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

i need the 2.5 update - please - anyone?



gw_rbi@yahoo.com

@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).



Here is the link: http://dl.qj.net/Gaming-Consoles-PSP/catid/106



Happy Homebrew To All!

hey when you use the data.psar

is it suppose to dissapear after you emulate it

dude wtf just read the tut. that #74.

Just read it and do exactly what he says its really simple

ok i juss woke up and i have an iso and i was gonna play it using devhookand when i tried to play devhook it froze at the PSP screen..then i rebooted and tried playing it again and when the settings came up i auto ran it and was gonna select the UMD but it juss sent me back to the psp regular menu without the web browser and hasnt worked since
