SONY!!!!!!!

Sony i will sue ur ass

bad translation... maybe

Can they not just remove the reboot file then continue distributing the program?

fvasv

Moany sony gotta sue huh ? ? ? ? they just mad cause their firmware aint got the JUICE, *****

SONY!!!!

I DARE SONY TO SUE BOOSTER AND THEN WE SHALL ALL BOYCOTTE ALL FOR SONY'S PRODUCTS AN SPECIALLY THE PS3 THEN THEY WILL GO OUT OF BUSINESS.

matrix

rebel against the machines!

Wo0ot?

f**** sony!!!!! use megaupload or something... ther is mostly illegal software..

omg...

god dam it. this is sad. i need to get devhook asap

Very gay

Going after homebrew... Arent we like under 5% of all PSP owners? Just because we beat them... If they stop DevHook, I won't be able buy new games, so they lose profit just like before DevHook. This makes me quite mad.

torrents

just use torrents, or as #9 said, use megaupload or sites like that

YES!!!!

I GOT THE LATEST ONE STILL, improved_@hotmail.com *A*N*Y*O*N*E* *W*A*N*T?

Best decision

I agree with SONY. Time to stop this non sence piracy paradise... I bet almost devhook users use this brew for ilegal ISOs proposes. Finaly SONY is getting on action!

sONY

you sux sux sux sux!

weard

Do you really think Sony can stop devhook..? even if they get boosters site down, there always will be torrents or many underground-sites..;D

damn

It was expected anyways ,im surprised it took that long

Booster didn't post it

Correct the News, for one BOOSTER's Devhook was not asked to be removed, it was the reboot.bin, second, BOOSTER never posted the reboot.bin file that was the file to question.

Chill out, guys

All he has to do is delete the reboot.bin files from the download. Sony isn't complaining about DevHook itself, just the copyrighted files distributed with it.

lol

booster will release the next version tomorrow - i bet...

MY CAR IS BLUE

MY CAR IS BLUE

dev hook

will always run and always be updated

bastards :@

only one palce left for hosting.... TORRENTS!!!!

Dam them money bags...

Quit bugging us. We are simply cracked out kids hwo have nothing else to do than to play around with our beloved PSP. You're the ones making millions. Booster is one of the only programmers to have actually create an alternative to homebrew vs new firmware requirements that lets us play with our new UMD's I do admit that we can load iso's... but its not the only reason why we use DevHook. I use it to play my owned games, and to play with C++ on my free time. And plus, we only represent like 5% of the PSP population. And by the way... ISO loaders have been around for a long time. PSPUpdates would never post homebrews that has only negative impacts to the community. rent of the day

HAHAHAHHAA

i knew this day would come.... this is why i updated

Not quite

#24 No, It's not just deleting reboot.bin. You should really educate yourself before spouting out your ignorance.

hmmmm

but Booster only needs to delete the file that sony's reffering to right? or at least that was what i understood.... the devhook its not illegal

$ony' fight against windmills

if they stop devhook, there will come another prg, sony stop it, and another one came out. sony will always be a step behind !!

Yes quite

#36 - Yes, I am right. You might want to actually read the translation at the top. It's fairly poor, but you can understand that Sony's only reason for sending the C&D was reboot_1.50.bin. There is nothing else wrong with DevHook. It is perfectly legal to reverse engineer software. Unless Booster's been doing some dirty work behind the scenes, he can distribute his own code as much as he wants.

....

You all say "***** YOU and lets boycott Sony", but I don't hear any of you saying that you're going to sell your PSP's??!?? If you hate Sony sooo much, why did you get a psp in the first place? Oh yeah to play ISO's. You bought a psp because you LOVE Sony PS2, am I not right? So quit it. I knew this was inevitable, Hosting firmwares, ISO's and the lot is real illegal and Sony is going to show people that they mean business. It's been the matter of their talk for some months now. You just gotta read the right sites to find out. Go dig through the corporate sites of Sony and you will see too. Stop being a bunch of complaining, hypocritical, ignorant bastards.....It's getting old.

sony is a *****

sony has to stop *****ing and deal with it, make better security and games

yea

#41 you're totally right. People should stop complaining about Sony taking action against downloaders. Really... them losing a lot of profit means no new games for u little kids to download. Go cry to some real developers...maybe help out the scene a bit and donate? You think just because ur 12 and immature with no money to pay for games you can download them. WRONG. DEVHOOK IS NOT GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS! STOP ACTING LIKE ITS GONE ALREADY!

GAWD! MORE *****IN BAD NEWS FROM SONY!!!

Are they RETARTED?! The only reason I went out and bought Tekken and Syphon Filter for my PSP is because of Devhook! I've spent over 120 dollars on UMDs since it came out... DAMN THEM!

hu

Surely it would be better to stop the people that are giving out the games rather than Devhook.

Interesting

nocomment

Don't worry.

The scene runs in cycles. Every dev has his time with the spotlight, and then fades away. For example: Back in the day, Humma Kavula was one of the big dogs. Then, for mysterious reasons, he quit. DevHook has been around just as long as Humma's creations (which I will not name). Then who came along? MPH! He gave us an alternative, and helped out a lot. Right when we thought MPH was the best there could be, Fanjita & Ditlew fell from the heavens! Just as their heavenly waves subsided, Booster made a comeback along with a new posse: Dark_Alex/Moonlight, jas0nuk, and a few others. So you see, there will always be a new gen of devs as long as the provider keeps provoking them (much like when a beast is provoked and taunted with a treat).

OH WELL

i guess we all have to wait for custom firmwares on 1.00 then

lol @6

I wouldnt buy a piece of crap like the PS3 anyway. some devs. say its too risky for now to write for it, they have been having major issues with yeilds on their (crappy) cell chips, and to top it all the cell chip doesnt perform as well as it should so sony now have to slap an Nvidia GPU in the thing (which Nvidia are reportedly charging sony double price per chip cos they have a deadline to meet). Oh well, see you all on usenet or torrents for devhook from now on.

it was gonna happen

we all knew that this would happen its just sony trying to stop everyone from playing the own games with out paying sony every step of the way just like every updates has tried to do before now they just figured out that they cant stop homebrew so they going to try using money istead of knowhow

Devhook 4 life

shouldnt i be able to legally back up my 50 dollar psp game that is a quarter of the same game i have on ps2. shouldnt i legally have a program that will play my backed up 50 dollar game. i have to pay more than the game itself to get a memory card to hold it another 100 bucks in sonys pocket just so i can backup my game. I have 56k is says really its 28.8 you think im downloading any illegal iso's. ill tell you what sony has just about stretched the ole brown eye the its limit.

#57

that was... beautiful (tear)

Pass the torch ...

Booster, Can you release the source? There are tons of us willing to continue the fight. - crackAlex

:)

it might be good thing really. Sony want it to remove because it can load the iso. why not to remove the iso loader and keep the fireware emulators. It is win-win for both of us.

Compromise

How about sony allows us to use homebrew and the idiots who pirate isos and roms stop?

@57

Thank you....finally someone talkin some sense

46 wrong

err it is illegal to reverse engineer software if the developers say so, read the end liscensing agreements when you next install stuff, however i am 90% that it is in fact illegal to reverse engineer sony software.

Interesting

#47 actually i bought a PSP cause i thought it was going to be fun, not cause I like the PS2 which i wasted my money on to. But it turns out the PSP sucks ass, without homebrew, I was so close to selling my PSP but then i found devhook and i think i will keep it for now, i use it for portable internet, and play games that i speciafically bought since now i can play them without ruining my fun in homebrew games. DEVHOOK is not all about running ISO's

NICE

exactly #39

@ 69

exactly psp sucks without this stuff it has *****ty games and yeah. ANYWAYS who wants to kick the ***** out of sony with me ^.^

CHANGE YOUR NAME!!!

may i reccomend that Booster still continue, yet ignore Sony? there is no way that they can track him. I dont think Sony has the legal ability to shut down a website. Why doesnt he just start a new screen name? if it took sony this long to do anything about devhook, wy doesnt he just get a new SN?

WHOOPS

i meant #69. my bad

fun is the only reason

All i have to say is: Squarez Rulz! $ony's just pissed they didn't think of it first

well

this officially sucks.....

?

That so gay not like they can track down everysite that hosts it or Booster for that matter. And who in thier right mind would tell Sony when Booster is online *****s!

This sucks but...

There are still sights with the file

omg

Booster contact me, i can host u on my home server

sony is just a *****

sony, a BIG TIME loser who cant bear to fight with booster. good job booster, they are lots of ppll willing to carry on the fight with u. good luck.

lol

nocomment

Good news

This is Good News and I support Sony here, despite the fact that I am a devhook user (hypocritical aren't I :)). The problem is that Devhook is a double-edged sword and breaks down the economical model of the PSP. Anyone who doesn't like the way it works, really ought to get a GP2X or similar.

yeah

yeah u go #82 even though i couldn't understand a thing u said, it probrably was not very nice to sony

41

we do have the right to download iso so f*** of #41

lol

sehr gut, sehr gut

wow

i just ran #82 german tru a translator and crap, it was pretty dirty. see for urself!

MEH

So? that is all i have to say. Sony cant stop homebrew, this is just a waste of time and more money. Added right to the money they are wasting on trying to stop homebrew with firmwares. Its all pointless, devhook will keep being worked on and found on the net. Sony is once again proving how dumb they are. It makes me want to stop buying games all together and just download them. In fact, I think I will....... ***** Sony.....

xbins

xbins anyone?

terrible

Devhook no longer distributing? Booster transformed from PSP-GOD to Internet fugitive? I just hope Booster and his associates are resourceful and dedicated enough to set up a new shop somewhere discreet, and under new aliases. Although I suppose THIS is precicely what all the paraniod posters were blogging about... O well, Manifest destiny I suppose

ehh

torrents anyone? haha.

Sony's choice

Without sony PSP wouldn't even exsist, you retards..

Copyright

The only reason that it was took offline was because the .43 fix included a copyrighted file of Sony's (the reboot file). DevHook itself isn't illegal in any way, it does not contain any copyrighted information of Sony. I believe the site has stopped all distribution of DevHook as a precaution, to make sure it does not get in bother again. If there were grounds to remove the use of DevHook, it would be long gone by now.

kugyifr

The more they try and stop this the more determined developers will be to think of new ideas, no matter what sony can't escape the inevitable.

YES

Yes, bring down those pirates, devhook is ILLEGAL

@52

"The only reason I went out and bought Tekken and Syphon Filter for my PSP is because of Devhook!" Yeah, and Devhook also prevented thousands of freeloaders from buying said games.

#100

thousands? i dont think thousands of people know what devhook is or ever heard about it.

#47, Stfu

Excuse me sir, but I bought my PSP SOLELY for homebrew and ISOS, not to mention devhook for firmware emulation, and im not ashamed to admit it. If theres one thing I like to do with my pieces of equipment, its customize, and test its limits to its fullest capabilities. If you dont feel to need to do what we do, stop complaining. True, some of these people are taking it way too far, (**** **** *** ***** ** *** *** **** SoNy!!, you guys are idiots) I can agree there. But theres a LOT more to what the PSP can do than what Sony initially intended, but im sure you knew that. Whether or not you care, is a different story. When I bought my PSP, it was for using cool homebrew apps (Portable VNC being one of my faves), and I wanted to take my super mario on the go, not pirate ISOS and play them illegally. And when I BOUGHT (Yes, I said BOUGHT, loser) Me and my Katamari, I was devastated that I had to upgrade, and lose my precious homebrew. But thanks to Devhook, and the genius behind it, I am able to play it AND my homebrew. So not EVERYONE is out to get Sony. Although, in light of recent events. im going to use ISOS more than ever. Just to stick it to them. You arent going to stop us by making OBVIOUS posts #47, and neither is Sony. \m/ Wonkizzle.

sdff

haha sony wont be able to stop devhook unless they go write to every site and shut down every torrent sites and p2p systems haha congrats booster ur being recognized by sony themselfs haha the way i look at it there just saying "damn ur good" to u haha

Go

To psp-hacks.com and download the Chaos Zero Devhook installer it has everything you need including .46 2.71 and 2.6 firmware so go download before it gets taken down! (I probly wont because psp-hacks revolves around illegal stuff)

oops

i meant IT wont because of the illegal stuff

continue booster

all people are right why don´t you change your nam,e ?or use torrents or only stop the iso loading i use dev hook to play my umds from when i use 2.60 and i bought my psp for its capabilities to play music and videos and play games

BOOSTER DIDNT EVEN RELEASE THAT FIX!!

BOOSTER isnt stupid, he NEVER released any copyrighted files! Someone else released that .43 fix! Anyway, my biggest concern is that pretty much sony went off searching through every little peice of devhook ever released to find a little brownie point to attack. And they found one little thing that booster didnt even release. Its like the idiots that blame ipods for hearing damage. How petty fo sony...

dont worry

they cant get rid of it every time they stop a site some one with the download will probaly upload it again it will get out there somehow like lime wire or a torrent site

***** sony

i hate sony

DevHOOK lives on

Evan if thay shut downall the websites that distribute devhook(which is alot). Thare are still places whare you can be sure you will be able to download new devhook. For example thay cant stop torrents.( YOU can get anything on torrents,ALL THOUGH I MUST SAY MOST OF THE THING YOUR GOING TO DOWNLOAD ARE ILLIGAL ("DONT DO IT " :-[}. And how can we forget about file storage networks used by many forum users to share files you can get your hands on many JuicY things from forums. So F U $ony. For once I thought you made a Godly firmware and than you have to take it away with you upgrades NO way 1.5 FW LIVES AND WITH DEVHOOK YOU CANT STOP US. Props to DarkAlax with the downgrader.

Where to host

Booster should host the files on a server located in a country like Russia where they don't care about Sony's copyright bul***** or either release the source files

ugh

Sony is gay, this is RETARDED....

wrong

"devhook is ILLEGAL" wrong!!

To all you dumb little losers who support sony

You guys are jus jealous cuz u upgraded to 2.71 so shut up. I use ISO and guess what? I save money and Sony lose money. HAHAHAHAHA, hows that for a big laugh. Yargh, Im a pirate and proud.

Retranslated for those who jump to conclusions...

# Reboot_1.50.bin which is the book of SONY in DevHook0.43fix is mixed, Warning to the DevHook0.43fix upload person has come from SCE. In addition, when 0.43fix which is downloaded retaining and using for labor assistant, please cancel directly. The person who does not look at this without knowing, using, there is also a possibility of finishing. When the owner is around, please inform concerning this In addition, DevHook itself of all versions, we deleted the related file from this site. Because of this the release of DevHook with this site becomes stop completely. # About correspondence “The web sight “http://pspsoftware.ddo.jp/wiki” inside In URL “http://pspsoftware.ddo.jp/upload/ upload.src/up0054.lzh.html” About the file name “up0054.lzh” which is uploaded, Because there was infringement warning from the literary work authority, verifying infringement, as it deletes this file, it offered the information of the upload person.”

OK...

I see that now alot of people are mad because of this and saying they going to download ISOs.... Question is.....How many people are actually going to do this now??I wanna have an Idea and that way...if sony is looking at this.....see what they have done. Are you going to do this??? or just going to keep your old devhook and play the games that only need 2.7??? If they dont make an 2.8 devhook.....

OMG Down hormones!

Guys remember in your immature spatter that Sony has always wanted to control their rights and their developers rights to control and own their copyrighted material. However with a quick search at google there are still 10 mirrors within the first glance for the latest Devhook and its plugin. This simply means the site its on has been told its a no no and to stop hosting it or face legal action. There are still other alternatives for Devhook developer, many other sites, p2p applications... the list really goes on. Viewing most of the comments a lot of you seem so suprised and angry. Did you not think that Sony would eventually get tired of powerful applications? Some of you might be too young to remember the Dreamcast homebrew and rips. That took a huge beating legally and yet you can still see it on sites. This is only one of probably many to come of CaD orders but knowing the dedication that was put into devhook and the many homebrew here.. its not enough to stop them from bringing the community their talents.

boycott

we should be a thread on playstation.com on boycotting tell everyone now to buy psp products or something simular to it

right

all i have to say is i love my nintendo games and the ability to listen to music while looking at my pics and playing games i also enjoy playing games like megaman powered up, maverick hunter x and valkyire profile and if it werent for booster and this devhook i wouldnt be able to not all people who use devhook are bad, pirates, or iso users hell i dont even know how to do isos i tried to rip a copy of maverick hunter one time and couldent figure it out and the only reasen i tried is because i had 1.5 and it needed 2.5 and there were iso loaders but booster came along and fixed it so to sony i say thankyou for a great system and to booster thankyou for letting me play newer games on my SONY system

sony should thank booster

if it werent for devhook, more people wouldn't buy any umd games because they'd have to upgrade to run them you think sony's going "oh no, they have copyrighted material! We can't go on with other people having access to reboot.bin!" or do you think sony's going "let's think of another way to make people update their firmware. I know, legally attack homebrew devs!" what the hell is one to do with reboot.bin other than use it to emulate higher firmwares and go back? Why the hell should they care if someone has reboot.bin? No reason other than to stop devhook and make people upgrade

EVery ONe

Go to torrentspy.com or mininova.org and type in psp in search. Join the rebalion against $ony. BaresarkR

About time Sony came out and defended their product

Sony have finally decided to come out and go after illegal doings. Its about time they defended their product. But I do hope Booster stays out of trouble.

***** Sony!

Damn! Why does sony give up>>>I HATE TAKING ACTIONS ABOUT FREE GAMING>>

u kno what?

u what the ultimate sticking it to sony will be when we crack 2.80 and use devhook. so f@ck yeah boy!

F*ck Sony!

Damn! Why does sony give up>>>I HATE TAKING ACTIONS ABOUT FREE GAMING>>

CrAZy MuTHER *****ER!

meh sony gota do summin about it Dont u think its a little obvious that their UMD sales are goin down due to the LArge amount of ISOs? hmmm it took them long enuf well Only 2 things i can say rite now EVERY MUTHER*****ER start downloading as MANY ISOs AS POSSBLE!!!!! AND GET THE NEWST DEVHOOK! HAHAHAHAHA! (ill prob get kicked off for saying this) BUT ! COME ON! Sum of these GAMES AINNT WORTH THE MONEY! (BRING ON THE TORRENTS!)

quick everyone! Look at #124's links

before a mod deletes the post

uhm sure :]

Yea SlolONY is stu*id if They think can stop DevHook production or hosting it... J never stop hosting it on my site. BOOSTER is the best on homebrew scene for now. J can't wait for new realse of DevHook :) We are with BOOSTER :D

FFFUUUCCCKKK OFF SONY!!!!

this isnt going to stop *****, stop wasting your *****ing time sony. go on, ***** off u *****s.

>127

I agree with SHADOWZ booster shouldnot get in trouble for the dum sh*t he didnt make. And hopfully this wont stop him or some one like Dark_Alex from cracking 2.8.

continue booster

i use devhook also toplay isos that i downloaded to test them and if i like them i go a nd buy the game

screw sony

since sony loses money on the hardware, we should get bill gates to buy all the psps, and just hoard them, then eventually sony will go bankrupt and 360 will win

shut up #135

why are you chatting *****, no-one cares about the 360 or sony.

funny thing

the funnything is, i dont even use devhook for isos. i use fastloader. so F*ck $ony

even better

bill gates could buy wal-mart, best buy, and eb, and stop selling sony crap

@135

Well, actually booster is an employee of microsoft.. bill gates wants him to suck sony dry... Afterwhich... he will proceed on to hire someone to destroy ps3.. Even if booster really gets into trouble, bill gates will find a way to bail him out.. LMAO..

OMG

OMG WE LIEK HAVE TO REBEL AGAINST SONY I SAY WE GET SOME TORCH'S AND PITCH FORK'S AND WE RAID SONYS HQ. Oh God, that was difficult. I can't imagine being such an idiot. I can probably count the number of intelligent people here on one hand. Do you people even take time to think? You certainly don't take time to type. Darwin's probably rolling around in his grave at the number of idiots here yet to get themselves killed.

..

LOL. Seriously Sony, go to hell.

and this start the war

now psp scene will be slow ... its sad ... im have a 2.7 but, its really sad ...

Booster please dont quit

i hope this doesnt make booster quit i mean we really need him to emulate the firmware that contains the psone emulator we've made it this far we can keep going long live homebrew!

AHAHAHAHAHA

stupid sony, this was a stupid decision for everyone.

d

Sony bekaphatja a valagamat!

144

whats upgrading really going to do? it's not like all 1.5 psp's are now bombs. im happy having hombrew and able to play new games that i "bought"

its aznballa1992, just didnt want to login, too lazy =p

then im moving to the netherlands lmao

u do kno this

everyone here does kno that this will never stop homebrew, right? i mean tits fun to yell at Sony but this really doesn't mean much at all except that Sony finally has the brains to kno that its has been beaten at its own game and is taken action to stop us, which will never happen.

Hah... Typical

Sony looks for any excuse to try and bring Device Hook down from the net... I had a feeling this would happen, they pinpointed the ONE copyrighted file (the reboot.bin, obviously) and have taken it as far as law permits, ordering the file down and requesting to speak to Booster. Not Good =(

Lost revenues

Companies always pad their "lost revenues" numbers, with false assumptions. Let me ask you this. If there was no such thing as loaders, and no way to play anything other than UMD's on your PSP, would you own every single UMD that you have an ISO for? Not god damn likely!!!!!! Well they base their lost revenue numbers on ALL the ISO's downloaded everywhere (and even that is an assumed figure), which is at least 100x more than what they've really lost in sales. So yes piracy IS wrong, but let's be realistic about how harmfull it really is, especially when homebrewers only represent about 5% of the market. I mean I know many people who own PSPs who don't have a clue about homebrew, and I don't bother letting them in on the secret either.

devhook

sony just realized this so now they are trying to screw us over of any sort of homebrew ***** that we can use on our psp if sony was smart they would let us use homebrew. if i was someone who worked in part making the gp32x or what ever that linux hand held thing i would start working on a much greater system which could out due sony's psp then homebrewers would come flocking to my system but anyways. devhook can still be hosted on warez sites and megaupload rapadshare and torrent just that devhook is now going to be more of an iso type of file only those who seek it can obtain it and its not widley available. stupid sony *****ers i bet its some stupid japanese guy there who keeps saying that homebrew is bad cus people can download iso and play them though he is being really ignorant and doesnt realize the real potential of homebrew.

My suggestion

I said it on another forum and I'll say it here. If anyone lives in a country that would be considered a bit "shady" when it comes to copyright protections, perhaps they could become the "developer" and release future versions. I'll be in China by months end, and I know it would work EASILY there.

OOoooooo Big bad sony trying to flex some legal muscle.

Pointless, at most what will come of this is, lame sites like qj wont have the versions of devhook with the copyrighted file. But. On good sites like psp-hacks, which has tons of illegal ***** on there already. Nothing will change. Way to go sony, waste that money on legal fees.......idiots......

Its a sad day for psp owners... (with f/w 1.5)

What do you guy's think about the chance that Booster will continue working on Devhook. I mean... Although he probably feels strongly about the application, but when legal action is begging to take place (aspecially by a company as big as Sony), would you continue along your current path? And to those of you saying you hate sony and that they desserve to die, seriously people, get a life!

Short description:

Sony needs to go back and make VCR and Stereo player.

Devhook should just not support iso

Devhook is a very good program. It would be even better and more legit if it did NOT support ISO. A homebrew that emulates a higher firmware is all legitimate users need to play 2.71 UMD's. I think devhook can boost more sales for sony if it didnt support ISO. This way, 1.5 users and 2.71 users alike can enjoy retail games.

#161

I would agree with you if the psp battery wasnt so lame and if it wasnt so damn convienent to put my games on memory stick. I use a playgear pocket case, so i have to stash the extra umds somewhere. I would rather just load em off my memory stick and solve all my problems......save space and eat less battery.

I agree 161

nocomment

bit torrent

it can just be put on a bittorent and they can do nothing. thats the great thing about the web.

***** Sony

Those sorry bastard released PSP with full intention of letting us run unsigned code. Them FORcing us to update our firmwares is a first for consoles, which is an outrage by in and of itself. Now they pull this ***** when people have refused to update THEIR OWN machines they bought and paid for, hae outsmarted them. This is truly a sad day. When my PS2 cd-drive stopped working I sold everything PS2 related and gave up on that machine, seeing they'd rather save a dollarthan produce a high quality game machine. I was actually gonna buy a PS3, but not now. Too many good machines out there. ***** Sony. They made a good machine in the PSP which has continued to amaze me. But them forcing us to update it to watch movies?? and play newest PSP games, has caused me to hop off the Sony bandwagon. This is truly a sad day.

I agree #162

I'm not worried anyway. How can they stop the program getting hosted? With the 100s maybe 1000s of PSP sites on the net, torrents, hosting sites, and P2P programs available, Sony can't stop them all. It's not like this is the end of DevHook, it means its the end of the official site. So what's the biggy?

hahahaha

im with 17 and any other anti devhook people. Ha-Ha, gutted to all you devhook users, the wont be able to carry on updating the software and you may never be able to upgrade back to true firmware...haha gutted!! You should have seen this coming

2.8 here we come!!!

well guys it looks like we all have to go to 2.8 now. thnx a lot sony!

Devhook has always been an iso loader...

Why would they stop now?

Buying Newer Games

I was stuck on 2.0 forever untill the devhook and downgraders came about(2 weeks ago) and I am enjoying 1.5 firmware. I actually bought 2 new games that require up to 2.5 firware because of devhook. So in all actuality they MADE money off it.... amazing how the "minds" at Sony work....

hoping for devhook 4.7

I mean, maybe they can show it on their site, but it's not like sony could stop .torrents, and I saw devhook 4.6 full install ( that's where I downloaded the updrage ) on http://www.blackcats-games.net/ ( one of the best for torrent, appart from mininova, but always have great speed and new stuff before mininova =D for games. ) just hoping this won't stop devhook, if yes the source should be online... because you know, now it's 2.8 firmware lol! anyway thx for the help devhook, hoping for continued work =D

omg

wtf Damn you Sony .. Damn yoU! Booster and devhook 4 Ever -.-"

*sigh*

PLEASE PEOPLE. We all hate sony because they are always trying to stop homebrew. But honestly, is posting, i F@ckin hate sony! in the comments going to help? How about be constructive as many have and pose a solution. And to the others who think this is great. *sigh* if you need to be so ignorant as to come to psp updates to read about hacks and homebrew and the actual updates, and then comment that something as sad as this is good, it proves you have no life, and you are very shallow minded. Please find your nearest corner, go sit in it, and F^@k youself. Thank you.

loller

The only way Sony could cope with devhook is to start supporting homebrew in some or any way, and selling games on rational prices, making having an original game cool, and not a rip-off.. so they might can “buy” Booster (hope won’t) but not this community.. :P dov psp dev. rookie

166 - you have ***** inside your head...

the psp 1.5 users have the freedom to do what they what wiht it!!! nobody needs to say to us what we need to do... ***** sony? no!!! they have made the PSP ***** the bastards that make this rules, and are thinking that will stop us... all this is just a pure joke

.x

Awww.. Sony, now I'm going to upload DevHook everywhere I can possibly imagine. :(

hahaha

Sony cant not stop the hombrew,....

U ssuk sony

Now we might not be able to play GTA VCS, without a new Devhook!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well all the hackers will find a way!

Dear Sony,

***** you. Yours, The People who pay for your *****ty firmware restricted handheld

Sony = Little whinny *****es

LOL Bite a Fat ***** SONY, I just uploaded the latest DEVHook and put it on my MYSpace...

JEALOUSY makes you nasty

All you anti devhook people are just JEALOUS because you can't use devhook. DOWN WITH PS3 UP WITH NINTENDO WII

m

anyone who didnt see this coming is naive

woo

yeah too right #166 and 168. Great job sony!! Great job!! Devhooks going down!

Sony are hypocrites!

correct me if im wrong but sony have been caught stealing copyrighted products themselves.. they lost their court case not to long ago concerning dual shock as they "Stole" the technology for PS2 Pads. Then lied (and still are) that the reason that the ps3 pads dont have the shock feature is that it messes up the Motion Sensors.. haha.. bullsh*t if i ever heard it. Sony youve been "rumbled" your a bunch of greedy hyprocrites.

***** ps3 and wii and 360

they all suck ass on a new level never seen before, and sony shame on you for taking our only sence of freedom away from us, and plus now im just not going to buy games nor sony products to boycott, (although it probly wont work)

Pendejos

Sony. . you just kicked your self right in the face.

The Biggest Douche In The Universe

Sony, I,ll nominee you as the biggest douche in the universe !!!! Just because of Booster, and only him, your umd over firmware 2.00 must have been multiplied by 10 since Devhook just opened the opportunity to still buy your new games, but still use ir shell simply as a tv remote.........hummmmmm sorry but you guys are the biggest douches in the universe !! (+.[ ]::)

Devhook forever!!!

Sony will never win! If they stop Booster and Devhook, somebody else will continue. Every firmware will be cracked or emulated! I understand everybody who will buy the Nintendo Wii instead the PS3. Firmware 1,5 will never die !!!! (I don't want all this cool stuff for ISOs, but for Homebrew, and if I buy a product like the PSP, I want to do with it what I want, NOT SONY)... Yeaaaahhh Firmware 1,5 forever!!! Devhook forever !!!! NEVER UPGRADE !!!! HOMEBREEEEWWW FOREVER!!! Thanks to all homebrewdevelopers!!!!! Yes yes yes !!!!!

i hope sony takes a serious blow to the wallet

sony should just realize that dev hook is the reason for thier boom in umd sales since firmware emulation became avalible i've spent over 200$ on umd games just so that sony might realize this. if sony's going to stab me in the back like this after i gave them so much of my hard earned $ i already know how much they will care but iwill stop buying anything sony altogether.

saved

i ot it backe up on 10 sites and 5 disks and 3 pc's

***** Sony

There is no way Sony can prove that Booster included the copyrighted file.

to 191

youre as stupid as them....most of psp users (like me) NEVER use F****ing ISO !! For Real !!

really people, can't you behave

I'm not sure what people insulting eachother, or insulting sony hope to achieve, but i'm sure it won't work. Do you really think that any Sony employees read this website and think, "Oh man, they are calling us f**kers. We should just let them use illegal things". No they don't. DevHook is ONLY legal if it doesn't use any copyrighted material, when it does they have a valid reason to demand a cease and desist. Personally I hope Booster continues his work and uses a different way of spreading and is very careful not use any copyrighted material with spreading. Good luck Booster!

QUICK!

haha, hurry, there's still time - dl it while you still can... PS> hey cruisx

p2p

i am sure devhook will still be available via bittorrent limewire etc.. :)

RE:57

You forgot the PSP-Dev team and Cyblade and you forgot about hello world creator

EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! NEW DEV HOOK!! AVILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD!!

EVERYONE!!! LOOK HERE!! THIS IS THE NEW UNDERGROUND VERSION OF DEV HOOK!! IT HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED ANY WHERE ELSE!! HURRY BEFORE IT GETS REMOVED!! http://megaupload.com/?d=YZJDZOSH

soooo

Now with all this #$%^ sony going on in this forum why would you guys still say sony is the best?

SEE THE TRUTH

a tool. rite. im a tool. why. ur just saying that cause everybody else is. sooner or later, devhook will die. im not saying when. im just thanking sony for weeding out cheap naive fools like u that just drop a "fk u" to ppl who see the truth. its ok. its just a stage of denial when you burn ppl like me cause i see it too. so stop complaining or get a modchip or some *****.

Validity

May ask the validity of this, seeing as the site is down and there is no way to confirm that they have indeed recieved a C&D letter?

sony

if sega nintendo, launches a portable console with freedom for homebrews, and same processing power as psp. ill dump my psp.

207

207= guy tryin to be cool/smart

WE SHOULD ALL START USING ISOS

JUST FOR THIS WE SHOULD ALL START USING ISOS NOW AND NOT BUYING THE GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not that hard

On the current state of DevHook i dont see too much dificulty in someone else continuing the job. Remember, first it was MPH, then it was Dark Alex, booster. Someone else is going to continue the job, and since the SDK is out. Maybe is time for booster to release the source code.

Stop Hatin'

The only people that have a problem with playing iso's are the ones that can't. You have a 2.50, 2.60, or 2.71 psp that can't be downgraded, adn you hate your life. Shivers Me timbers,

Yeah.

Nice work sony.. You are soo scared.. Muahha.. Now devhook is going underground.. ;P

FLAME THEM!

TIME TO SEND FLAME E-MAILS TO THEM!

...

ok. first of all what would you do in sony's situation would you let people take all of your game sales? of do nothing, i like devhook & homebrew dont get me wrong. but its the people that always say **** sony 484894465 times that make me mad if it wasnt for sony you wouldnt have a psp and therefor no homebrew all im saying it just remember what it says in the to right of yor PSP "SONY"

to 210

im not trying to be cool or smart. im nobodys tool. im just trying to get my point across. i dont care anybody tries to shoot me down with a little 'to # ¤¤¤ ur an ass.' im not a kid. i can be mature. or not. its my decision, and nothing you say will change it.

-

first off all, the host of boosters devhook was in the wrong for hosting licenced software. i don't see where all the hate is coming from. Everyone seems to be up in arms because sony is trying to squash homebrew. Everyone knows that the mojority of people use devhook to play pirated ISO's and to say otherwise would be a lie. If i was sony, i'd do the exact same thing. as for the PS3. i'm getting one because its a great system. PS3 FTW!

fix to 217

ok. first of all what would you do in sony's situation would you let people take all of your game sales? of do nothing, i like devhook & homebrew dont get me wrong. but its the people that always say **** sony 484894465 times that make me mad if it wasnt for sony you wouldnt have a psp and therefor no homebrew all im saying it just remember what it says in the top right of yor PSP "SONY"

ahem...

all i have to say is without sony THERE WOULDNT HAVE BEEN A PSP IN THE FIRST PLACE!

@223

@223 lol sounds like u have a 2.70 >> or above

223

thats what i was trying to say lol

sony sucks

I HATE SONY. WHY CANT WE JUST GET FREE GAMES??? I HATE SONY SO MUCH THAT I BOUGHT A PSP HOPING TO GET FREE GAMES!!! WHEN PS3 COMES OUT IMMA BUY THAT TOO AND WAIT FOR FREE GAMES!!! STFU.....

CHAIN CHAIN

please everybody , i will be greatful if we can show to sony we are a free and forever forum , please it will be great to link chain the devhook and help eachother and devhook aswel . to do so : atach file by e-mail and send devhook to anyone need it . i will do my best to give away this homebrew to anybody need it , do the same and sony will be f£CK. yachiyo iteo PS: by the law we are free to share what ever we want by e-mail remember this or P2P.

@225

no it dosent mean that u have 2.7> because i have 1.5 and use devhook but i agree with him

P2P

P2P great everyone should use it to get devhook if they really really want it

that's why i've got a DS Lite

no firmware updates nesessary. sure, they patched stuff when the DS went from Phat to Lite, but still. ONE UPDATE? sounds good to me. plus, the ds is coming out with the opera browser anyways, with a touch screen keyboard. SONY won't even think about releasing a keyboard, why? they don't care about you, all they care about is stopping the DEVS. they put all that time into it, when they could be making better (or a larger library of) games! anyways i had a psp, but the homebrew was too much to keep up with, every other week i spent updating programs, for a faster version. so what's the point?

....

people just dont buy umds use iso's then sony will think twice before stopping the homebrewers from using 2.7x emulated i would say that some peopel do buy umds thanks to devhock but if the stops then sony could loose out even more if ya dont wana use iso's then just dont buy UMD's PLEASE

Run for the hills booster!

he should use bittorent to distribute his new releases and then use a proxy to log on to pspupdates.qj.net or psphacks.net and post the link to the new torrents. I'M BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!

#199 is correct

AND P2P RULES!

time to buy

time to buy the modchip......otherwise PSP homebrew for future games is finished

i got 2 thing to say

sony's just getting angry because they're getting pwned...i wouldn't be suprised if the psp homebrew is used to hack a ps3 easily.

*****s!

Eff you sony! We'll find a way around you again! You cannot keep this dev community down!!!

..............

pretty soon they are gonna make it so everytime a psp connects to the internet.. it has to update.... they WILL eventually get stuff like that... so just be warned

!!!!?????

Does This Means DEVHOOK will End!? BOOSTER IF YOUR OUT THERE!! I KNOW THERE IS NO END TO YOUR HEAVENLY WORK, I BELIEVE IN YOU DUDE!!

Oh ***** Sony.

***** them. They`re just pissed that a hombrew dev made something way better than their overpaid programmers could. Little *****es.

oh noes!!!

Sony pwnd Booster. Lol! Don't cry.

@239

Yo, idiot, what about people who dont have wireless internet? Hell, I know people who dont even HAVE internet, what about the? SONY CANNOT do that, they know that a lot of people normally get consoles and dont use internet on them.

WHY Sony/

does it really matter? i mean sony cant stop homebrew its too big..

!!!???

what are u people bragging about i mean im maad too but they have the right to stop this stuff from bieng put into their haandhelds for example if it was my handheld i wouldnt want other people putting other crap besides what i aauthorize so just live with it

Impossible

#242 - "pwnd" isn't a word, retard. Sony will only succeed in driving Devhook (and progs like it) further underground. Instead of trying to stop homebrew, Sony should wise-up and embrace it. It's a battle they can't hope to win anyway, and embracing the inevitable will win them a lot of credit amongst the people who actually buy their products.

yeah so...

...even though sony have posted a cease and desist notice, it only applies to the devhook 0.43 fix which contains a patched reboot.bin from 1.5 firmware. Future releases of devhook did not require this so as long as booster does not include any files that are property of $ONY there is not a lot they can do, devhook being a totally isolated piece of intelectual property that does not need firmware dumps to work (1.50 flash reboot) All $ONY could do is come round to all of our houses and check our psps for illegal firmware dumps...

Everybody has a price.

All the great developers get bought out... look at Humma Kavula... out of no where he stops development. His Fastloader and UMD Loader where at the height of it's development and he stops. Everyone has a price. If I was a developer getting flamed by you dorks and working my ass off to not make a dime I would stop if someone gave me a $10,000 check. These developers make chicken scratch off you free loaders and they have to choose... A) do I keep working my ass off for free for these flaming leechers.... or B) do I cash this check.. make up a story and get out of the scene and just develop for myself while I buy myself 200 more PSP's with change to spare. If we appreicated or donated more money to them then our odds might be better. He would have to choose A) Do I put out emulators for free and make good money while building a loyal fanbase? or B) Do I give in the SONY and take this weak ass check and sign this stupid ass contract that says I'm to never develop again? It's an easy choice but the young or stupid choose to flame and leech. you suck. The President

I laugh at you...

People who own a PSP, USUALLY should have enough money to buy'em games legally (heck, some of us even have TWO psp's laying around...), or either get their asses to work for'em... instead of worrying about iso files... Guess this means we'll ALL be upgrading when the time comes and PS3 is out on the shelves...

¿?¿?¿

Can anyone read all the comments?? Sony, i undertand you, please understand we!!! Make aplications similar to the homebrew people make in your nexts firmware and let to put stupid thinks!!

What does this mean?

nocomment

Paying Booster off?

My guess is Sony will either be looking to pay booster a fair price to hand over any claims to devhook and remove it from the scene, or they'll make an attempt to employ him based on his obvious programming skills. Hell, who knows, he could even be an instrumental programmer in firmware 4.0, and maybe it'll be opened up to homebrew.

Interesting

Im really interested to see how this will affect the outcome of the ps3. I mean alot of ppl are not going to be happy with sony and this could cause some major problems.

Wow

Sony stopping an ISO loader? THEY ARE THE DEVIL! Give me firmware emulating and no loader.

.

ive completely given up on the comment system... too much spAm. Although the hide unregistered comments does help, it makes the comments make less sence (since most are replying to a unregistered comment)

somys diein

u know sonys already in a tight bubget with ps3 and there taking a huge risk withps3 so if we fight this now we might losse ps3 and psp lol and sony might be out of bussnes with their DVDs copied CDscopied ps1 cdscopied ps2 cdscopied Chiped ps1 Chiped ps2 Chiped psp hacked psp = 2.5billion and all of this being distributed all over hongkong and from there to the millions of americans in america with bittorents have u ever seen the FF tokyo driff bootleg toorent? its at 6645 s/9445 d!

no vcs!

Noo! this cant happen! i preordered vice city stories and now i gotta put another 90 bucks down on a damn modchip. oh well thats life.

Oh shi-! WWIII?

I knew this day was going to come, we wont need to worry about finding copys of DevHook, It's all over bittorrent sites, usually with full packs. If they stop one site, 2 or more will rise in its place. Although its funny to see Sony taking some action. It could possibly be their own suicide. It's kind of nice to see some discussion worhty news on QJ. Booster: You have a league of thousands here to back you up bro. Keep up the good work!

Sony gets us again....

Devhook is simply the greatest thing to happen to the psp, and im sure that the software can be made to use the owners 1.5 prx (or whatever it is) i guess this is going to be a serious stop in dev'ing firmware hacks, but who knows, booster can allways change his name..... others can pick up where this one left off, and of course this may just lead many hombrew hackers to go to the more illegal torrents.... i think in the long run, sony is gonna be in a big hurt for trying to attack the HB community by means of law suit, and if they actually do try to get booster in court, i for one will no longer support the psp or sony (with money)

haha

I hope Sony shuts devhook down for good. I'm tired of all the people ripping games/loading isos. Why don't you people play emulators on a computer maybe, that can actually run the games at full speed and has a much bigger screen. Oh thats right, you just use your computer to complain about stuff like this on these kinds of sites. Oh well, have fun with crappy homebrew ;)

hmm

devhook is still up over at PS2nfo.com. you r welcome

***** Sony

Sorry can go to hell! I can't say I didn't see this comming, but it was fun while it lasted. However, I believe we are far from the end. DevHook have already taken off, keeping Booster offline won't stop anything, especially with the source code out there.

Never Die

DevHook will never die. Each try to kill DevHook makes it Stronger! Such a wonderfull piece of software shoul be a inspiration for Sony not an enemy to hunt down. Booster and my "beloved" Dark_Alex will never cease bringing up quality software. Nothing more, nothing less...

Sony must protect their property

To stop a program, which can be used for illegal purposes is Sony´s damm right....

Yeah, you're right.

Can't forget CybBlade (R.I.P.) and the dev team that created the first hello world exploit, which later led to pong and tetris.

SONY

WHY DO THEY CARE THEY ARE THE ONES DISTRIBUTING THE UPDATES FOR FREE IS THEY DONT WANT ALL THIS COMMOTION THEY SHOULD CHARGE PPL FOR THE UPDATES BUT I DOUBT PPL WOULD ACTUALLY BUY THEM WHAT DOES THE REBOOT.BIN CONTAIN NEWAYS PLANS TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD WITH COOL ELECTRONICS THEN THEY SHOULDNT EVEN DISTRIBUTE THE EBOOT LIKE THAT

retards

Im getting tired of all this S**t, i mean wtf, "wah Wah! sony is soooo mean, they're trying to stop devhook!!!!" all i have to say is grow up!, so what, most of you still have 1.5 psp's and those who don't are downgrading, getting pre-downgraded systems(for those with the TA-082), or getting modchips, and most of you already have devhook so whats the problem? none! so Shut the F**k up and deal with it!!!!

278 shut up

you honestly don't care about it deep down inside, it doesn't affect you directly. I dont use DevHook for ISO loading, i use it for the wifi perks from 2.71. anyone who complains about ISo loaders needs to put on a superman costume and fix the world of "evil".

why can't they...

Just remove the update eboots files from the site and keep the ones they created? They can't sue for that...

->288

because sony feels threatened, as long as there's devhook, there's a reason for sony to fight(a la ISOs) remove the iso loader and the threat dissapears

ALWAYS AVAILABLE!!!

These versions of Devhook will always be available on torrent sites like mininova.com. Mind you with ALL THE FILES ALREADY INCLUDED. I know QJ nas nobaly hosted the downloads but always without the required files. $ony's just upset Booster caught up to them and they cant outsmart him so they need to threaten legal action. It's a joke. The PSP is the most hackable videogame system ever made and $ony has to just sit back and deal with it.

286 stfu

That's not the point. People are afraid that it will stop development of devhook PERIOD.

well...

the heck with torrents, they are unsafe and slow... p2p!!!!! we should make a p2p network for just us homebrewers! and .... yeah, they didn't do nothing to iso loaders but they take devhook down?! that just ain't right!

go devhook!!!

go devhook!!!

bittorent!!

so just distribute devhook via bittorrent! that way no-one in particular is hosting the file. hmm, well looks like devhook must have sony scared, cause no matter how many firmware updates they bring about, we can always load them with dev!! :)

.

Everything is gonna be alright people so don't worry

loyal pawn of SONY

YES!!!!!!!!!!! ALL YOU ISO AND HOMEBREW USING *****S DESTROYING SONY CORP DESERVE THIS, I HOPE ALL UNDERGROUND SITES WILL BE FOUND AND THAT SONY WILL SUE THE HELL OUT OF THIS SO CALLED BOOSTER(THE NAME FITS HIM) AND HE WILL BE TOO SCARED TO UPDATE DEVHOOK ANYMORE. GOOD WORK SONY!!!!!!!!!! THESE DEVIL CHILDREN SHOULD ALL DIE, RETURN YOUR DAM PSPS IF YOU ONLY WANT TO PLAY HOMEBREW AND ILLEGAL ISOS BECAUSE IF SO SONY DOESNT WANT YOUR HANDS ON THE PSP AND DOESNT CARE IF YOU HURT THE MARKET BY TAKING YOUR PSPS BACK HAHAHAHAHA, THE CLEANSING HAS BEGUN.................

finally

sony puts a stop to the piracy if you want to play new games upgrade

@301

Don't such a clueless dumbass... "if you want to play new games upgrade"... Some people want to play new games and also be able to play homebrew THAT is the point.

i've never pirated a PSP game

but i love DevHook, because it allows me to play the latest games from UMD. it's wonderful.

i need 2.80 devhook

ccause im getting VICE CITY STORIES PEOPLE!!! i dont wanna upgrade i might have to dump it to my ms then use devhook just so i can play the stinkin game.

same here 303

:(

still just a rumor

this is just a rumor we dont have proof that sony has contacted booster. don't draw conclusions so fast.

lollerskates

Let's just wait and see what happens in the next few days before mass hysteria kicks in. I believe that the most this "legal action" will do is cause a slight delay between the next version of Devhook being released.

Hmmm....

say if bootser continues... how will we know he released another devhook? i come to this site everyday just to see what new homebrew is up... Now where to look? i dont want to browse through a hundred different psp sites.

...

This is really bad. Booster might give up production of Devhook, and if he does, lets hope someone will continue this work.

Sony Can Suck My D|(|

Whenever they put out that files from some sites they can't stop us cause we r gonna play isos from m.s. forever no matter they make another update they will spend a lot of money on programmers making anty piracy methods that their gonna be nothing for people like me so See ya and wait for me until i released something hahahahha...

jeezus christ

is it not enough that sony has to f*** up their firmware, but they have to be jerks about us trying to mess around anyway......why have u abandoned the homebrew community sony...why!!!!

torrents

Sup BitTorrent? I mean, that's how the ISO's are distributed, why not DevHook itself?

how do i use a .torrentz file?

?

Sorry to say, but...

Doesn't this make sense? Sony's trying to protect their baby, that's all. I love DevHook as much as everyone else, but it's a problem when people don't buy PSP games anymore since they're playing emulators, or even worse, ISOs of commercial games. It'll just kill the PSP faster and leave us with a dead console with nothing but homebrew games -- it'll be like the GP32x/GP2X, and we know how popular that handheld is. Also, let's face the facts -- if DevHook dies, another programmer will step in to fill in the gap. What's to worry? I do wish that DevHook couldn't load ISOs.

losers

u are complaing and boycotting sony cuz of this wow u ppl need a life. get over it who cares

sony has a right..

they are right in trying to shutting down these websites etc. etc., because their copyrights HAVE been breached, not to mention these programs allow ISO LOADING Would you stand by idly while some thug robs your house? I think not Sure they're morons for not supporting homebrew, we've seens heaps of cool stuff come out by homebrew developers, but at the end of the day, this is their PSP, they can choose to make available whatever the hell they want! Devhook is a great piece of software, but it also allows ISO loading so that's piracy right there.

Chill people

As much as I hate Sony for ignoring the consumers' desires, I think this will do nothing more than increase bittorrent traffic. Some say, get a GP2x. But that is a sucky idea because 1) you have to order it from a foreign country online and 2) you have to put the screen or something together when you get it. This means that dust gets stuck under the screen protector, and 3) it has no 3-d graphics support built in like the PSP does. The first reason is what mainly deters me. I hate ordering something that takes forever and then arrives and malfunctions. Even though walmart sells me defective already-returned products 75% of the time, the store is only 5 minutes away so I can go back and exchange it. Some of you complain that GTA:VCS will not be playable on your 1.5 PSP's. I'm hopeful that devhook (renamed probably to something else to avoid legal stuff) will be eventually able emulate the required fw. If not, it will come out on the PS2 like LCS did even if R* and Sony insist otherwise. Yes, we can all go and download all the crappy games as isos, and we can try to take down Sony. But there will always be a big corporation teasing us by flaunting their powerful but cheap hardware, and then screwing us over after we buy it.

Suggestion for Sony haters

Why don't you guys throw away your psp and go play with something else?

selfish sony!!!!

man y don't booster just upped his files in a file hosting site??? just a suggestion

@303

if you want homebrew thats the price you have to pay homebrew sucks anyway the updates are better

At 322

just because we hate sony doesn't mean we hate the PSP. I love my psp, it is awesome hardware with awesome open-source homebrew software as well. the psp os is nice but the other commercial softwares for the psp, not very nice or worth it. so saying that we should throw away our psp is just silly. we only hate sony because they seem to hate us. but they sure love our cash. i will quit giving my cash to them :P *** heads off to torrentz.com *** lol j/k

» how do i use a .torrentz file?

» how do i use a .torrentz file? ?

can't we dream?

Friggin Sony's always gotta ruin a wet dream.

Sony Suks

OMG most of the websites i went on are on maintaince and that probably means that the devhook stuff are being taken off, and screw sony for putting down devhook, devhook was the reason i bought a psp

my children you waste your souls

tell me does anything any of you say ever do anything? stop flaming and putting up anti-sony and pro-sony *****.. its just to inform the people that use the programs that it may reach a young age and die.. never said anything that devhook is dead or will be dead.. and heh sony doesnt give a ***** about emulating firmware its the damn isos.. just let devhook remove it.. and well use some other program to load our *****.. im not a fan of piracy everything i load i owned and to you people that say ahah 1.5 hoes.. think about it.. regardless of whether we can load higer firmware games or not.. we still got plenty of other ***** to do with the psp rather than you .. other than music, videos and *****ty games u purchase.. its just a wide dildo.. for you.. unlike me where i can control my tv instead of my *****ty remote that broke.. lol but w/e i became one of you *****ty flamers.. dammit lol FLAME ON! -Dios

Don't ban me but...

For 327, you need a bittorrent client such as Azureus (I like that one) to handle the .torrent files. Bittorrent protocol is just another protocol like http, ftp, etc. and can be used legally or illegally it's just a matter of personal responsibility. That is all the info I give about that. don't ban me please.

mother sony's

I want kill sony for his inconscience.psp hack is the key of business for them and we.mother *****er sony.i want play with 2.80 emulate xmb.shut up for all the life sony.

Answer to this problem

Maybe a good answer to this would to be asking sony for just a removal of the .43 fix and not all of boosters accomplished work.

@326

Please correct me if I'm wrong, isn't psp made by Sony?

Sony can't do squat.

nocomment

To #333

Nah, I doubt it. Sony was looking for just one reason to take action against Devhook and unfortunately, they managed to find it. I doubt that they would go through all of that trouble of making a Cease and Desist order just for one version. They could've just sent an e-mail to Booster if they were that worried about the copyrighted file.

Wow

I suggest that they just remove the reboot file, but include instructions on reinstalling and obtaining it unlawfully. Then sony can suck our balls cuz they cant do anything but sue each and everyone of use for copyright infringement. They're much too incompetent to do that, and they're in too hot of water as it is. But they don't know how to run a F****ing company, do they not realize that due to this little piece of homebrew UMD sales have probably increased? Many people who do not pirate UMDs still use Devhook for their legit ones. I just say everyone boycots Sony for being real jerks.

lol

gutted =p

Sony

Way to take it to the stupid twelve year olds. I love you sony.

...

to #337: Honestly, are you 12 years old? Do you really think that if we boycot sony, it will make a difference? Let me spell it out for you, N-O. Also, including instructions on installing/obtaining a file unlawfully? Are you stupid or something? That could be compared to a website dedicated to informing the world how to make bombs/rockets with common housetools, it is simply STILL illegal. To everyone: All you whiners need to shut up and grow up. Flaming Sony won''t make your life any better nor will it make them stop taking action against DevHook. And to the random retards that say only people with firmware 2.71 are telling you that you are retards, you're wrong. I have 1.5, i use DevHook but i won't cry about it and have a little fit like all you little kids are having.

lol.....

everyone just suck it up and get on with your lifes. I wanted homebrew, but I can't and i'm over it. And you guys are fussing about this? geez, be 3 year olds somewhere else.

wew we need 2.5 cracked

nocomment

ew we need 2.5 cracked

man some1 plaese juss make a new progran supporting iso loaders for 1.5

what a bunch of losers

get a life wow "we boycott sony" wow really need a life who cares so what get over it. just update and shut up sony will all was win losers

lol

341 seems like ur taking out ur anager on the users... we should all calm down.... this doesnt really mean to much to me.... look at it this way downloading moves are illegal can you still download them with a simple knowage of the internet? yes! downloading games are illegal.. can u still do it? yes! downloading software, music, books, copyrighted pitcures is illegal can u still do it with the greatist of ease! of course so dont get all worked up its all good making it illegal just means that u cant find it on this site and users who want to be righteous and missing out because they want to think they are pure or what ever wont download it.. big woop. anything marked illegal on the internet (accepted weird porn) 99% of the time wont get u in trouble and really marked as illegal so main sites like this wont allow them now please every one make love not war!

theres some real morons here.

"135. » screw sony since sony loses money on the hardware, we should get bill gates to buy all the psps, and just hoard them, then eventually sony will go bankrupt and 360 will win by n8thegr8" ...except they would have all the revenue from him buying all the psps moron. 360 will win what? what prize do they get? nothing? congrats on the no prize win!

and also

why is everyone saying screw sony? without them u wouldnt even have a psp!!!!!!

@331

lmao

349 u got a point

349 u got a really really really really good point

#341

ok first of all your comment is meaningless for the following reasons read carefully dumb**** -Nobody is crying about this predicament, were all just upset at the fact that sony wants to make there profits even though there to stupid to realize homebrew is what has increased there sales (yet they still frown) -people are suggesting that booster informs us on how to obtain this copyrighted file on our own, the reason this is not illegal you prick is because this file is in our dam psp's which are entitled to us because we bought it, therefore we can do whatever we want with it (just like when you buy a house its your's right so if you so please to you can have sex, drink beer, have a smoke watch t.v etc.)Since you love giving examples just thought i'd give you one -and last but not least we can complain all we want towards sony its called freedom of speech, and yes it will make a difference because this will show sony (couple of there employees reading this now) this was a real bad move for them or should i say one of many (contriversial ads, stupid firmware patches, skyrockting umd game prices etc.) You would think that the genious minds who made the psp would be smart enough just accept homebrew and realize that it's benefiting them... well those 20 millions psp's that they shiped out in hopes of them all selling them for the holidays, lets just say there going to stay on the shelves ps. sorry for the long post but sony and #341 aren't to bright (trying not to hurt either of their feelings by not using such a harsh statement like such F*****g dipshi*s) -T.M

mmm

Look i Agree with sony in the fact that were illegaly making copies, we should host these files on a specific forum and or FTP site, like a warez site or somthing. i know of loads but i wont say lol

352 I agree

People always think of Sony as a "bad" company but without their technology there wouldn't be a so called PSP around for all these people to enjoy. But yes homebrew is good I don't see why Sony discourages homebrew soo much, DevHook is a great program but most people use it for the wrong reasons eg. playing pirated games think think about it now that more poeple are on FW 1.50 wouldn't there be a decrease in game sales since everyone is downloading and playing them off their MS? DevHook has allowed user on 1.50 to playing games that require higher version software without the need to update and lose thier precious homebrew, but people are abusing this privilege. Stop saying f**k you sony or ***** like that again I do have to point out that they did create the PSP and without them you would probably end up buying a Nintendo DS :S!

dude 330

hey 330 you didn't even spell christ right... shame on you! Anyways, it only says they dont want the devhook .43 fix distributed... thats what i read on ookm's site, that means all other devhook versions are ok? right?

I admit

I admit I have used devhook for mostly ISO's, but I only download the ISO's to games I would never buy, like dynasty warriors and lemmings and mercury and stuff like that, I still purchase new games like Daxter and Tekken, and its nice to be able to play those new games without sacrificing nes, snes, genesis emulators, and PSP Revolution!

idiots

sigh ok it's like this you hate sony you hate you psp. if it wernt for sony there would be no portable snes nes ect. AND DEEVHOOK you idiots SONY made this all POSSIBLE they made it so they make the rules sadly.....

.

i like peaceful and calm arguments. does anyone here like peaceful and calm arguments?

@358

Sony discourages homebrew because it hurts their profits (given its only a tiny bit anyway but Sony still hates it). think about it, would you rather have a bunch of free games or the ones you pay for? Sony just basically wants control over what games come out for their console, and they obviously dont want to have to collaborate with the homebrew community

u suckc 364

most people who have a psp will buy a ps3 but most people have homebrew and if we boycot the ps3 sony will be $hit out of luck

to #344

i support homebrew because its free and i try to develop some of it myself. programming is something i find thats fun, and the psp offers a slightly different experience than a computer

INPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!

I am Japanese.so,I don't speak English well..... plz listen to me,These some translation is wrong. I develop it, and Devhook will not stop. Because it merely lost upload, and the "person who uploaded" it is bad directly. I think that it may not still become a development stop now, but it is ... which it seems to be examining as of now. Do you think that you may stop it as it is, everybody? Indeed is such a thing; come over, and carry it on its back. BOOSTER is on a bulletin board called 2ch. I will come this evening. Surely "the Japanese who is not the person concerned of Sony" of a thought same as us thinks about the same thing, and surely BOOSTER is answer .... A sentence is clumsy, and a long sentence is sorry.

You guys...

The issue is not if Sony is Good or Evil. We can all admit that Booster made a mistake when he upped this 'fix' (if it was him). Sony answered. The problem imho is that PSPSoftware had to assume the consequences for this matter. His website has been shutted down, so he had to change hosting. So now he have to put everything that was in his Wiki in order but he wrote that his motivation was seriously down. It shouldn't be the end of DevHook anyway, so there's no really needs to complain about this. I think Sony is still playing fair. They haven't got too far.

booster is not the uploader

isn't it a mistake? booster is not the uploader of the 0.43fix. it's someone else.

What's funny is...

What's funny is the amount of people who are actually supporting Sony. "Oh, Devhook allows ISOs to be run. Waa." I'll have you all know I've paid in hard cash for every PSP game I have. Sorry if I like to play my favourite old-school classics on the go. I've only used Devhook to load newer UMDs that don't support 1.5. Sony are simply whining about a battle they've already lost. As for everyone saying that Sony are in the right, just remember that just because you've probably upgraded and can't use homebrew, doesn't mean that everyone else should have to put up with your *****. Love and kisses, Zannek. (Hooray for Hitch-Hikers.)

@47

"You bought a psp because you LOVE Sony PS2, am I not right? So quit it. " I don't even own a gaystation2 so yes you are wrong, and im sure that echoes through most aspects of your life.

間違えを正す。

>>371 oh;;It's a mistake;; Because there are many mistakes, I say, but ... psp softwere wiki is not closedown! But a server has been out of order. I know a temporary homepage. Should I show all of you it?

very good point 371

As above. Sony where waiting for any exscuse to close the net on Devhook, it just needed somthing that crossed into legal grey area. The fact they are activaly looking for the "uploader" means they intenend to take legal action of some description to make an example to other Devs. Thankfully, as far as I know, Booster wasn't responciable for the fix. This means that Sony have finally made there intentions VERY clear. They do NOT want ANY PSP user to be able to RUN OR DEVELOP UNLICENSED CODE. They do NOT want ANY PSP user to be able to change firmwares or run custom firmwares. The message is very clear - any 1.5 user who wants to legaly purchase and run current PSP games will have to either upgrade firmwares, void warrenty (UP) or run illegal ISOs. In the latter case, if Sony are going after Booster over somthing so trivial to make an example - you can be sure they'll be soon going after people who download ISOs to make an example too! Sony are closing the net.

gta

Does this mean i can run GTA-LCS on my 1.5 now?

Winny-Japanese

If you happen to meet Booster, ask him why not Winny or Share :P

372

Ok well since we know "YOU" buy all your games what about other people who probably have purchased no games what so ever. I myself have had a FW1.00 when the first PSP were released in Japan and I only really use the PSP as a media player type thing and I find some homebrew very useful but I do buy the games that I know I will like (ie recent one is Tekken which I am currently able to play because of DevHook) that is what i use DevHook for. I still think Sony are in the right for doing all this becuase they are trying to protect themselves. Just think would you do the same? If people were ripping you off would you let them continue doing what they are doing? I know i wouldn't. Im not saying ALL people play pirated games but a large majority do. I say no to piracy and yes to homebrew! and don't think people are against these things just because they updated.

oh my f**king god

What is wrong with Sony? They remove DevHook, which has increased UMD sales more than it has harmed. True, it's also an ISO loader, but without it pirates would use some other loader anyway. I don't know what the hell Sony is trying to do, but the 'people' (and i use that term very loosely) at Sony must be f**king mental to do stuff like this. This is the kind of !@#$ annoying crap that Sony does which makes me want to just buy a DS and play gay games like Mario and Pokemon.

.

"ok first of all your comment is meaningless for the following reasons read carefully dumb****" Go back to school kiddo "Nobody is crying about this predicament, were all just upset at the fact that sony wants to make there profits even though there to stupid to realize homebrew is what has increased there sales (yet they still frown)" It's called 'crying' because people are flaming sony for doing something legal. And you are all crying about it, not just upset. Maybe you should ask your mommy how to control your temper. "people are suggesting that booster informs us on how to obtain this copyrighted file on our own, the reason this is not illegal you prick is because this file is in our dam psp's which are entitled to us because we bought it, therefore we can do whatever we want with it (just like when you buy a house its your's right so if you so please to you can have sex, drink beer, have a smoke watch t.v etc.)Since you love giving examples just thought i'd give you one" Copyrighted material is never *yours*. It still belongs to them. "and last but not least we can complain all we want towards sony its called freedom of speech, and yes it will make a difference because this will show sony (couple of there employees reading this now) this was a real bad move for them or should i say one of many (contriversial ads, stupid firmware patches, skyrockting umd game prices etc.)" It's still retarded to flame a company that won't and quite simply doesn't care what a small community thinks. Good job on bringing up "Freedom of Speech", maybe you would be smart enough not to comment on others and calling them dumb if they are expressing their thoughts on the matter. I never said anything about it so you can't even try to catch me on that. "You would think that the genious minds who made the psp would be smart enough just accept homebrew and realize that it's benefiting them... well those 20 millions psp's that they shiped out in hopes of them all selling them for the holidays, lets just say there going to stay on the shelves" Why would they do that, explain to us what it would benefit them to allow ISO loaders on the new firmware versions, it wouldn't at all. It would only decrease the amount of games bought and in the end, the end of PSP. Really, I don't understand where some of you americans get their logic from. I'm sure that most people out there will understand that other companies such as Microsoft or Nintendo also don't want others to do things with their products they aren't supposed to do, or do you have proof that Microsoft supported people running SNES emulators on their Xbox? Get some facts, get some brains. (Also, you have some awful spelling and grammar, maybe you should go back to school now, i'm not even english and i know you suck at english.)

this

this merely states that they don't want the FIXed version being distributed any longer.. *****ing noobs.

382

Ok, thank you for all the informations^^ またね！

..

as someone else stated, this is not the end at all. even if they make devhook "illegal"... all these devs would be able to create something even better. its merely a hurdle, if anything even becomes of it.

DEVHOOK 4 EVER

IT'S JUST A MINOR PROBLEM,THERE STILL ARE TORRENTS,AND OTHER UPLOAD SITES.

-

Get rid of something that's actually been selling your system to gamers? What did Sony thing it was? That the *****-filled library was eaten up by anyone else other than trendy wiggers? I realize it's not the end of it, but I can only imagine what other idiotic acts we can expect from Sony soon.

ChickHook

Is there any chick who would like to comment about DevHook Community here?

Wow

I for one use devhook only for my newer games that I have purchased with my money. I dont even use for iso. I can assure you this that I will not upgrade ever. Started with 1.5 and will keep it. If it gets to bad I will drop the psp and get back on my beloved Area 51 Laptop that does a whole hell of a lot more. Psp will hit the closet. I have deep pockets no biggie. Just liked the psp becuse of the homebrew and portablity. So what ever happens happens. My PSP stays 1.5.

Aena

yeah ima chick, and i claimed to have a major break thru for 2.0/2.5 games a few months back but nothing actually came out, because it was mere fabrications.

Fools

nocomment

Fools

Fools dont you all know that someone can easley make a replacement for the bin file that sonys raging about. Sony has every right on 1 hand to do this. So the psp adapts. They allways have. We just need to make something simular to that of the .bin file that sonys hates the devs useing. There is many ways to skin a cat my friends, and this is the best way of doing it. Play sonys game, just dont update, show them that the psp comunity cannot be stoped and that we can out smart them at the same time of it being legel. I persionaly think ISOS are good. I dont own one. I use a 1.50 psp but dont have the big enough MSD for them. I think there useful because its backup propose. Now for the piraters who steal work, not paying umd disc when it should be paid for , then bad for you. Now forign games arnt licenced in the us. Did you think of getting Isos for regions? Another thing that devhook is good for. Is region locked UMD movies. Sony added problems when they region locked umd movies. Booster, I think you can contune your work just find a alternate methoid. And you psp boycotters! use sence on technoligy. Psp hackers have and allways adapt to sony.

@398

"So the psp adapts." My PSP isn't biological, your's might be but mine isn't.

Piracy

Pirate for life, and damn proud of it. ***** capitalism, property is theft!

Off course sony does this, theyve beenfully defeaten and cant fight back on their own so they go hide behind teh law ;(

Well as far as I know, you havent uploaded any illegal files, just the eboots and instrtuctions on how to get the other files? lol. I think sites should just start hosting the devhook eboots, the file used for the update for the fw that the devhook is going to emulate and a .exe file or something which opens it up so you get the other files or something. That'd be nice.

I AM RIGHT

LISTEN -- The only thing Sony is crying about is the DevHook0.43fix as it has the reboot file in it. All DevHooks since then are FINE and not ILEGAL in anyway. QJ net is worrying people for no reason. Booster just needs to carry on with devhook with a new name as long as he does not add Sony files

403

hahah I'd like to see you make or program something (If you can that is) Then see people ripping you off by downloading it off the net, but i guess that will never happen it would probably be to crap to be put on the net, I can see it now lookatmypieceof*****.torrent Seaders = 0 Leechers = 0 Enjoy ***** ;)

video on youtube

wow, some nob end just repoetrd one of my video on youtube to sony. i want to shot him in his neck with a pellet gun....then sleep for about 20 mins and then take the time to skin his ***** and balls. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUX9Rw2NdVI

dam

omg O_O

lol

The problem is that devhook runs ISOs. If it didnt, nothing would have happened. But, if we think about it carefully, its us the users who have all the fault for emulating commercial games instead of buying them. You tell me games are hell expensive? I agree, but if we all bought an original game from time to time, sales wouldnt decrease and Sony wouldnt have to ***** on us. Sad news...

sony vs. others

Sony have alreday lost this battle.. or perhaps even war. People have now on disks iso's of all available games and of course devhook 0.46 .. so they have playing material for another 2 years...

asdf

IIIIII WISH SONY WOULD READ ALL THESE COMMENTS

Big deal

I don't care about the news. But QJ really sucks man, I mean. Putting news that's generating lots of noobs comments on top. Man, it isn't such a big deal, it isn't really CONFIRMED yet. Come on, QJ. You can do better than that. Someone hit me everytime i revisit this site.

Sigh..

Many people seem to forget that without Sony they wouldn't have these cool PSP consoles and other Playstation hardware. Also I think it's good that they fight piracy since it is really stealing money from game developers. To bad they don't release something like a yabasic based PSPL for people who want to do homebrew.

I count on QJ.net....

to #416 You can suck it! Why do you even come here then? If you can't rely on QJ then why do you even come here? All you do is make people like myself hate people like you! I would be willing to beat the ***** out of you! I rely on QJ to bring the news to me, whether it be news or hear-say. Who cares, as long as they are on top of gaming news! This is news to me and it saddens me to hear of it, but people like you only sit there to bring everyone else down even further by hitting QJ in the soft spot by claiming that it is all BS. Well shame on you for being a member of QJ and not supporting them! SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Sniff* *Sob*

Why... Hopes Booster doesn't quit for this now... He's the best homebrew developer out there! Booster don't be afraid...

Nice try

if they actually think you will stop us then i use devhook to play my loco roco umd which i bought at retail price

mistake

BOOSTER WAS NOT THE UPLOADER OF THE FIX

THE 0.43 FIX

BOOSTER IS SAFE he did not release the 0.43 fix that the C&D is about some stupid ass guy packaged the reboot.bin in that fix booster never packaged the reboot.bin in any releases he is so careful with the firmware files telling you were to put the right files he wouldn't slip up all other versions released by booster do NOT contain areboot.bin but a msreboot.bin wich is like 90 times smaller so it cannot be from the 1.50 IPL ha take that $ony booster has just disappeared to work on FW 2.80 and not stopped like you all think he has ""disappeared"" before like the huge time between devhook 0.22 and 0.3 and the time gap between hookboot 0.92 and devhook 0.21 these times were he could not be found anywhere AND he is japanese SO since when did american law aply to japanese people HUH!!! he uses japanese firmware so US law does not apply

---> 17

Actually i use dev hook to run my UMD's that need higher firmwares

Sued?

Well, if he get sued, we will collect some money for him, right?

Please sell the game division to Nintendo!

Hi Sony, Please stop wasting your time chasing the home-brew, instead of that work on giving us good games. Dumb-asses, get your priority right ! The only reason I use DevHook is to play my GTA UMD on my 1.5 !

It's all because...

This is all probably because they're always being sued like the $90 million in march they got sued for the deul shock and how agre is trying to sue them again. they sued lik-sang just for having a LINK to the psp maual on sony's site WTF is wrong with them!!!! they sued the guy who cracked encoded dvds for cracking blu-ray aswell they are just a bunch of retards.

news

There are alot of different distrubtion networks out there.... Torrents Newgroup IrC Megaupload Need i go on * yawn * What you should be worried about is a personal lawsuit to BOOSTER ! thats where its going to be hit bad.

understand

i understand sony though...i wud not be glad to see thr system i created being hacked etc..

no boycott

c'mon sony would like nothing better than us to boycott ps3 i say we stay strong and hack the hell outta the ps3.

It was bound to happen.

Over half the idiots in here dont remember the PSX emulation days. Alot of developers got into huge trouble for distributing the firmware that was taken from the playstation in order to emulatet he games properly. So all they had to do was not distribute the file and all was fine. Sony has taken a move they have every right to take. Everyone here to says Sony is stupid for doing this is stupid themselves. Its the software that Sony has rights to. its software that they spent money on having people develop, is there any profit for them to allow that software to be distributed on the internet when they make no money off of it? Emulation can only go so far. There will be a firmware out there that even devhook wont be able to emulate and thats going to be FW3.0 when the PS3 is released. So what if they attack the homebrew scene. Half the people here either play ISOs, roms, or other games that they dont own. Nintendo "could" go after every single person who plays Gameboy, SNES, or N64 roms on the PSP. Sega could go after anyone who plays genesis roms on the PSP. Until the PSP can emulate DS roms, nintendo probably doesnt care if they can. Screw programs like devhook that make more trouble for Sony. Its programs like Devhook and ISO loaders that Sony spends more time patching up these holes instead of spending time on releasing a good firmware. Its also the reason that games require firmware upgrades to play. There are indeed good homebrew programs out there that Sony would probably be happy to allow. But more people like to use the ones that Sony needs to stop.

SONY AGAIN

WHY O WHY DONT SONY LEARN. WE ALL REMEMBER THE PLAYSTATION 1 DAYS. NOT TO LONG AFTER IT WAS RELEASED OUT CAME THE MODCHIP TO RUN CDR BACKUPS. SONY ADMITTED THEN THAT THIS INCREASED THE PLAYSTATION HARDWARE SALES EVEN THOUGH THEY TRIED TO STOP THE MODCHIP. SAME OLD STORY DROP THE SELLING PRICE OF GAMES / SOFTWARE TO A REASONABLE ACCEPTABLE PRICE AND PEOPLE WOULD BUY IT. ARE SONY TELLING US THAT THEY ARE NOT SELLING THE PSP???

Lawler Steaks

To be honest the only game I bought for the psp since the release was GTA. The only reason I bought a PSP was to get GT4 Mobile which was said to come out a month after release. All the games on the PSP currently made now just blow and I wouldn't pay a dime for. (Which I don't cause I download ISO's) I think I only have 2 games downloaded and its MegaMan Powered up which I have for reg. NES & Valkyrie Profile which I've played on PS1. I know about 5% of people only downloaded ISO's and I'm part of that. I don't care what game it is if I can get it for free I'm all up for it. If you don't like it buy the game yourself and stfu. It's not like buying PSP games is helping the system or anything. Maybe if they made some new game and stop porting turds to the system and adding crappy RSS and internet access and make games I'd think abou buying one maybe not though I can't pass on something free. So all you can stfu I like saving money spending on stuff I can't get for free. (Like my Xbox360 games and Wii game when I get the system) I hope all you people that don't agree with me flame me so I can just laugh at how many people I've pissed off becuase I will truly injoy it. *I Bet QJ Removes This Post*

@446

Please stop doing that!

hahahahhaa

thank u numba 450

NAND

Is it me or was there talk of NAND emulation and once thats done you only need to run the firmware update while in devhook to upgrade your devhook version?

devhook rules

i can believe sony did this, they just can keep up DEVHOOK RULES.............

@456

Oh, and your not a geek (Actually your classed as a retard) If i own a PSP doe's that make me a geek? Guess not you retard

i guess its sonys way of saying ***** you

i can only think of 2 things that could of sparked this off, 1. the umd tools being leaked, so sony got pissed at that and took it out on booster 2.because of the firmware breakthroughs (2.6-2.8 being decrpted) and booster got us caught up. either way, sony are just being asses and i say screw them, its the last time i buy a UMD, torrents for me it is.

pff

sonys stupid. its our psp why shuld they give a damn

Man PPL are stupid

Read Between the lines PPl... Sony just wants the site to stop hosting the file with the 1.50 reboot.bin in it. Dev-hook is not going to die and for the fact taht his hosting site wants to stay away from legal issues has stopped booster from using their site is all. He just needs to find a different Host for his files and take out the illegal files then its all good. We can get the file ourselves we got our own 1.5 psps that we can extract the file from. Its not like we had to go searching for 2.71 reboot.bin for the newest devhook anyways. So relax ppl as far as we know atm Devhook is not dead, we won't know until booster says it is. Or if he has antoher hosted site. Or better yet he can just upload a torrent to a server and have it downloaded that way. Think PPl think and learn to read!

asdf

so many comments

:D

Well, atleast there is a FEW jumps

WHY ARE THEY SO GAY

PEOPLE PURCHASED THE PSP JUST FOR HOMEBREW AND NOW THEY"ER LIKE "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO" SCREW THEM!

fake news....AKA hoax

It was hoax. This news ain't real. Look around the web

460

the modified reboot.bin is the primary part of the f/w emulation, without it all you have is a firmware dump.

U are stupid

qj net again is posting *****. The Devhook 0.43fix aint been released by Booster and he never did it. also not to mention, Booster didnt posted as long with the binaries the reboot.bin , cos he states clearly "dump your firmware and hunt for a reboot.bin, i will not include it". So i dun see why u all are so idiot. take ur time, breath, read it well and specially understand all the ***** about booster instead goin mad exclaming "boostr is f*cked up sony will sue his ass". And a personal note: SONY dear, i know that someone that works for you is reading this. Well as long as other peoples i feel bad about it. Specially cos you, the monster into Electronic stuff, is pointing a finger toward a guy that didnt done anything bad. Moreover, im an happy 360 user since some time, and ps3 is ridiculus. Sony Home Ent. Stopped with ps2.

I hate Sony.

Yeah i hate Sony, and for the people who say, "Well without Sony there would be no PSP." That is true, but i don't hate Sony because they released the PSP. I am mad at Sony because tehy tease us with the PSP. They give us it, but don't let us use it to the fullest... AND I DON'T USE ISOs!!! I like KETM and AOTM, and SMA because it just makes my PSP better. So i don't hate the PSP, i hate Sony!

FAKE

This report has been CONFIRMED AS FAKE! Yet again pspupdates releasing stolen info from a newbies site who dont know what there talking about.... Wish the ppl who work on here would actually get REAL info instead of wasting our time with this hogwash!

f**k sony

nocomment

bam

I sware lots of u guys are soooo stupid! "Screw Sony....blah blah blah" if u dont like sony then why the hell are you using there PSP? Sony made it! If you dont like Sony dont Touch any of there products. If No one ever bought a PSP they would still be makin money its not like the PSP is the ONLY thing the make. Im glad lol. If you dont like the SONY dont use the PSP then....Plain and Simple

fake or not ? that is the question

VAI TOMA NO CU SONY !!!! thats all i have to say

nintendo

i used to have a nds and then wanted a psp because i saw the cool emulator. i was like WOAH metriod on my psp how cool?!!?!? but now the nds lite is beating sony in every direction i want and nds lite too :P plus the nds has a web browser coming.. opera browser

xiribitatatata

473 DISSES-TE TUDO CARALHO!!!!!! CHUPISTAS DA MERDA!!!!! Não nos podem obrigar a fazer upgrades á toa! cada um usa a psp como bem lhe entender, olho caralho...

YAY!

j/k lol leave it to sony lol but 476 you obvio9usly dont like ANY older games, and you must truly be a suckup.teachers pet, etc. have fun with this

THIS IS FAKE

AND NUMBA 476 IS ON CRACK ALL HOMEBREW RULES AND DEVHOOK I LOVE DEVHOOK

DEVHOOK IS NOT ILLEGAL

DEVHOOK IS NOT ILLEGAL psp update fails

.

@480, 100% correct PSPUPDATES FAIL. FAIL HARD. DEVHOOK IS NOT IN "LEGAL TROUBLE", THE IDIOT WHO UPLOADED A 1.50 REBOOT.BIN IS IN LEGAL TROUBLE. DEVHOOK IS FULLY LEGAL SOFTWARE NO MATTER WHAT IT IS USED FOR.

who cares

Are you people freakin weird,if you hate sony so much,go burn your PSP and post it on youtube or something.Even nintendo doesnt even care about those flash carts people are using to play homebrews.Thats why PSP is too expensive that DS lite in japan is sold more.Also,why wont you starting hacking your own psp instead of waiting for someone else to do it.

boo-hoo

Just like everything else PSP-related, Sony is slow to do something. Dev Hook has been a savior to homebrew for _months_ and Sony is barely doing something about it. Too little, too late, I'm afraid. Dev Hook is here to stay, no matter how it's distributed. Everyone who pirates knows other channels to get _anything_.

You people disgust me.

#1 By using an ISO sony does not lose money since you would have not bought the game anyway. #2 You do have a right to run a backup of a backupped UMD Game yet you also have to have that game legally purchased not rented for it to be considered *YOUR* backup. You do not have the right to run someone elses backup. But I havent read the TOC and EULA for the PSP yet. #3 People keep saying Sony cant do this and Sony cant do that. Well guess what WAKE UP! Sony can do whatever the ***** they want they have money, with money you have power. They can easily shut down a website and if you host it off your home server it'll be fun when a Lawyer pops at your door sueing you. #4 People say Sony just doesnt want homebrew. Thats not fully true, why dont you see them suing Fanjita or Ditlew for the eLoader? Hmm? Its because it doesnt allow for piracy, why the hell would you purchase a PSP for piracy? You must not want any good games or a second psp to come out. Note: The preceeding statements were for the case that the argument and the lawsuit was real which I DO NOT THINK THE LAWSUIT IS REAL. I believe its a big hoax. - Anonymous

you guys are stupid

Ok for those ppl who doubt Sony. Throw away ur PSPs, obviously you don't deserve one. If you guys really love homebrew/open source sooo much. Go buy GP2X... If you guys have to throw a tanthrum every time u hear a rumor/hoax.. obviously shows that you are that shallow(F,uc,king haters). Im not a Sony Fanboy or what ever you guys call it. Im a happy customer who happen to think PSP is one of the greatest handheld. And if you doubt me soo much, then you are stubborn and thickheaded. If you aren't content with what you have, then go cry, and let mommy cheer you up.

Wow, useless posts up in herre, patience, there will be a back door, there always is, Homebrew and playing backup isos wil never die

Quote: "Hey 492, STFU! You are an arsehole. Sony are arseholes. Your are an arsehole. Get off this site. Now" is that the best you can do? seriously, get a life.. don't come here, your opinion does not matter.

My thoughts

First off, to all of the people flaming Sony, take a deeeep breath, stand up, and then GROW UP. I understand being mad, I'm pretty pissed myself. But I'm not too worried about it. Second, Is Booster really in trouble? I'm pretty sure its the .43 fix that's the source of the trouble. But devhook is on version .46, right? Booster didn't actually include it in his code, right? So he should be home free. But If I was him, I'd try to talk to Sony, and see what they have to say. Third, all this ISO talk. I am against using ISOs, as it is the reason Sony started all this update mess. I really wanted Monster Hunter Freedom, and I was overjoyed when I could buy it, thanks to Devhook (And I could play my Socom FTB online). And I can play Tekken. I have more than a month before I need to buy another game (Still haven't gotten past the 1-star MHF quests). Finally, people who are worried about the end of DevHook, download any DevHook update as soon as it comes out. I think that Booster will release at least one more, and then call it quits. Good luck Booster! Pyreezy: Proud 1.5er, and non-ISO user.

OI

oh~no!!!!!!

hrmmm

>>497: How does a PSP almost get bricked? It either bricks, or it doesn't. Did it freeze up? Cuz that's different. hahaaaaaaaaaa

...great[/sarcasm]

Chaoszero...

If everyone remembers correctly, it was ChaosZero that released the Devhook 0.43 fix, not Booster.

You guys, aren't you forgetting ONE thing?

SONY CREATED THE F...... PSP, So if they haven't created the *****, what would you do? Sue them because they weren't producing the damn thing? Stop complaining about the company. You obviously love the PSP, then you should have some respect for the company... MAN, they're just protecting their stuff damn it! I didn't like the CD-protection system they used with the bug and all, but at least that WAS a misstake, You're saying that PSP is a misstake? Especially the 1st Post, I mean, how can you even say that? Hah.. it's funny. Complete idiot XD

god damn

i dont know if im right but isnt the ultimate devhook installer by chaoszero illegal, cuz i think it includes some .bin files and *****, so shouldnt sony be after him not booster????? *****in sony..

PIMP MY DEV

pimpmypsp.bravehost.com devhook files will be added

I laugh at sony

If they stop devhook they will stop many from buying umds and by forcing people to download via torrent the noobs will find isos that come with loaders screwing themselves over even more.

I laugh at Sony

Really? this is a pathetic attempt to stop 1.5 users from satying 1.5 users and update. I started as a 1.5 user went to a 2.0 user, then a 2.5 user then a 2.6 user, and finally back to a 1.5 user and ill never upgrade again. Devhook will continue to live even if its under another name or developer. Sony can go on about whatever they wan't they are worth billions of dollars but without us they would have nothing. the people gave them their money by purchasing their products they should just be happy and shut the hell up.

youre all *****in noobs

qj.net information is misleading and not true

F*U*C*K* $0nyZ

U F*U*C*K*N* $uX without isos $0ny will be nothing cuz we bought it cuz we know that we can play isos not the F*U*C*K*N umds which are pricey and loads like a F*U*C*K*N slug $0ny will be F*U*C*K*N bankrupt if he F*U*C*K*N stop us playing isos F*U*C*K* F*U*C*K* F*U*C*K* and F*U*C*K* that F*U*C*K*N $0nyZ

$0ny sux

No wonder nds is pwnzing u *****ing sonyz psp cos nintendo let us use p!rated gamez and thats who were buying it *****ing sony psp is a *****ing great system but sonys just ruined it most of us want a system that can get free games admit it u guyz and not awalys lying that u only support homebrews and not isos u can easly dl it from torrents why bother going to the game shops or onling and *****ing use ur money and buy? its too *****ing expensive and pointless it sucks because of the load time msds r 100X faster then umds and u can put few games in it and 4 those pathetic guyz who use umd spend few times the money of a psp for buying the umds and they suck and f.u.c.k. sony again

Still Hates Sony

Sony may try and stop us what are they going to do come out and check everyones PSP. Before Dev Hook up i own 1 PSP game and i still could not play it. I needed 1.52. Sony should be kissing some @$$ and thanking Booster for saving the PSP. I was planing on selling my 1.50 PSP for 300.00. Also Nintendo,Sega and all the others should be thanking Booster for saving there game alowing us to play all our PSP game and movies as well as our roms. So i say ***** sony

려차 sony

fux sony all i have to say is: "psp exists when ISO lives, psp dies when ISO dies." so FU(K sony for everything they've done i fu cking regret for buying this peice of crap and my $10 for downgrading it

signn the petition

please sign the devhook petition http://www.gopetition.com/online/9266.html

HA

HAHA! So it begins, Sony

sony.... perdes tanto

pros mans que pensam que a sony fez bem e assim o que é certo é que os users com 1.5 têm em casa nos seus pc centenas de isos que podem jogar á vontade sem que ninguém os chateie (cada um faz o que quiser), enquanto que para os que tem 2.7 pra cima tem que COMPRAR e gastar dinheiro nesses jogos todos 1.5 OWNED? Really? hum... i don't no maybe 2.7+ Owened... yes i'm portuguese and i have proud (sim sou português e tenho orgulho)

New site making for PSP soft development? http://psp.is.land.to/mtbbs2/psp/index.html

Sony you suck!`

Man, I hate this. Well. I got my copy of DevHook. :P

SONY SUCKS

I LIKE SONY FOR THE PSP BUT THEY SUCK FOR THIS, SOME PEOPLE DON'T PLAY ISO'S.

540

its not because of the isos but i play isos:) i only have one and ppl are syaing "i hate you this is why sony is losing sales" FUC|K SONY

hosted

i will keep hosting it on my site i have the full o.46 package under downloads/firmware emulators at my site hacker30home.8up.org

543

543'rd!

hmmm

most people seem to forget that devhook is a device that lets you play new games without using an iso.

>406

You are an idiot, I can program your lazy ass off if I want too, or write a reverse bindshell if I'm in the mood for it. Hacktivism is a great way of life!

somy is scared

sony is just scared that he will emulate their 3.0 firmware which has the ps1 emulator. It's going to be released in about a month or two so just look at the timing that sony has decided to do this.

***** SONY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sony is the stupidist company ever. Im just going to steal there products now. Thats right, hell ive allready got a free 1 gig made by sony.........

lol

i finally had to happen, devhook is the most twisted peace of homebrew out there, sony had to do something.

*****s

u guys are dumb go vry to your mom u liitle b1tch*s wow u nned a life big time cuz with out sony u wouldnt have ps1, ps2,ps3 and psp so just suck it losers

Datsun 260Z!

The Datsun 260Z is awesome. Inline 6. **SUPER** light weight body/chassis. beats out all of these little tuners, and beats all american muscle cars EASY (them especially). new cars take it on the start, ofcourse, all thre low end power, 260Z picks right back up 2nd to 3rd gear, then take sthe lead and keeps going. Datsuns are awesome(Nissan is the actual maker of Datsun, same company)! All Z cars are great, 260Z will even beat out its predecessor, the 280Z and 300ZX. On account its just so light!. Z!!!!

number 17 dissagree

number17, you are wrong i have devhook only so i can boot up 2.71 to use the web browser and flash and still leave my psp open to homebrew, and emulators.... also any emulator i have including snes, genisis, gba. i actually have the games i download... also only someone who had no idea what they were talking about would say what you did, do you even own a psp or are you jelous because your trailor park cant afford you a psp joe

sony=communism

when you buy a tv you can take certain parts out and replace them because you bought the tv. it should be the same with psp's once you buy them, they should be yours, whatever you wanna do you should be able to, now sony should lay down and take it like dvd companys when people download dvd's form torrents, look at staistics only 7% of people that have dvds have downloaded them most people either cant or wont... same with umd's,... either way sony needs to quit trying to dominate the world, its amazing how sony just thinks hey let rule the world... joe

No boycott

A boycott is not in order. How about instead... WE HACK THE HELL OUT OF THE PS3 TOO BWAHAHHAAAA!!!! Ahem now that thats been said, I am not really worried devhook will ever really end even if it is forced underground.

sony

You know what...All of you guys should stop complaining. Without sony, there would be no ps1, ps2, ps3, or psp. Plain and simple. Most of you guys are saying that you guys don't use devhook for iso's, but a lot of people do and that concerns Sony. They are losing money... Without Sony, you wouldn't have half of the great games. It's true they shouldn't rack on some homebrew, but even a lot of homebrew is copies of official already made games. Maybe Sony just doesn't want to run into legal trouble. I"m not saying devhook is bad for the hardcore homebrew's who do legal stuff like that joypad program. Devhook is a good program, but you gotta face the facts, there's a very good amount of people using pirated isos with it...THAT IS ILLEGAL...

Devhook Rulez...long Live Booster

Yes, sony is well within there rights to have devhook removed from specific site and to try to chat with booster about the devhook issue but its too little too late. even if the unthinkab;e happened and devhook was no more - it would take a matter of weeks for games requiring 2.8 upwards to work on dh0.46 - we'd just have to go back to the old methods - replacing prx and suchlike. Hopefully it won't come to that - Booster has done nothing wrong, its the scene that uses his software and what we do with it thats the issue

Man I hope booster finds a new site to host devhook

..and carries on with development, I wonder if another developer will step in and use the source to create a new version with 2.8 support as an when required....

READ THIS!!!

it's only the 0.43 fix Sony are talking about, not the DevHook in general because it uses Reboot_1.50.bin which is copyrighted apparantly.

out of topic (i couldnt find a forum about this) i cant use any of the iso/cso that I run on devhook to play through infastructure, and when I read the sony site you have to register you psp and all this other BullS@!#$T... DOes anyone know anyting about this (sry if I sound such a noob but I really wanna play certain games online specially when crisis core comes out....
