Get it Now: DevHook vShex Mod v0.3

DevHook 0.46


Even though DevHook has been struggling with some legal problems, people like Saturne_1606 continue to show support and some loving for this very controversial, much-talked-about, double-edged application. He's just released a mod dubbed DevHook vShex Mod v0.3. If Saturne_1606's name rings a bell, it's because he also developed the Devhook 0.46 Plugin that allows users to reboot to 1.5 without having to turn off your PSP.

Features:
  • Disable auto-mount (you will boot straight to XMB even if you are in 333mhz)
  • Back to 1.5 with HOME+Start.
  • A first launch of skin support
How-to:

To use it, just add these lines (if they donÂ’t exist) in your pspbtcnf.txt:
  •     #vsh extender
  •     ms0:/dh/kd/vshex/sat_xml.prx
  •     ms0:/dh/kd/vshex.prx
Download: [DevHook vShex Mod v0.3]

# Here is howGuest 2006-08-03 13:42
The article is missing a bit on instructions. You need to paste the 3 new lines under the two lines which start with ms0, one is the ciso and one is devhook prxes.

# oh and home+start doesn't go to 1.5, but rebootsGuest 2006-08-03 13:45
home+start reboots psp, so if you are using a custom firmware that boots devhook automatically, press start+home and hold whatever button you hold to boot 1.5 to boot 1.5

# translate the instructions fully!wipey 2006-08-03 14:26
works fine, too bad the installation instructions posted here are rushed and just copied from the readme file....anyone with any sense would run this atleast through google translater to make sense of the original installation instructions as I had to.



Functionalities : ===============

- Fast Return in 1.50 when you to emulate a firmware with DevHook de Booster.

- Desactivation of the automatic launching of the emulated ISO.

- Support of skins (still at its beginnings) for the graphic part.



Instructions: =============

- To copy the contents of the file to the root of your memory board.

- To modify the contents of “dh/XXX/flash0/kd/pspbtcnf.txt” where XXX are the firmware which you emulate.



To seek the following lines:



#vsh extender

ms0: /dh/kd/vshex.prx



and to modify like this:



#vsh extender

ms0: /dh/kd/vshex/sat_xml.prx

ms0: /dh/kd/vshex.prx



To return in 1.50 when you are on the XMB, to press on HOME+Start and C all:)



Modification of the skin: =====================

For the moment, only the beacons InfoDisc and CPU are treated. The parameter “left” corresponds to the site of the first character. The parameter “signal” corresponds to the site of the higher limit in pixels. The parameter “width” corresponds to the numbers of characters displayable. The parameters “color” corresponds to the color of the text in héxadécimale AABBVVRR where A=Alpha, B=Bleu, V=Vert, R=Rouge The Alpha channel is not supported yet.



History of the versions: ======================== 0.3: - Support (still precarious) of skins - Desactivation of the automatic launching of the emulated ISO - Support of the material reboot by emulating firmwares 2.00, 2.50 and 2.60 - Support of the material reboot by emulating firmware 2.71 Note: ===== The material reboot does not function with the emulation of the firmware 1.50 bus it does not have the adequate function. The desactivation of the autoboot does not function during the emulation of a real UMD. Contacts: ========= For all proposals or others you can contact me at this address: saturne_1606_dev@hotmail .fr





blah blah it's in broken english but still legible. I never understood the skinning bit, or where skins come in?

# skins..RaiderX 2006-08-03 15:29
I think the skin thing isnt like changing the xmb theme or anything, its just to change the text color and polacement of the text that shows liek what iso you are switching to and the text that shows the cpu usage and all that. kinda useless imo.



the return mod is all I need and he already released a standalone of that. Disabling the auto luanch of the game is cool too.

# proper translationGuest 2006-08-03 16:35
Features:

===============



- Quickly return to 1.5 when emulating Firmware with Devhook by Booster.

- Disables Auto-Launch of emulated ISO.

- Support for Skins for the graphical part (whatever that means)



Instructions:

=============



- Copy the contents of the archive to the root of your Memorystick.

- Change the contents of "dh/XXX/flash0/kd/pspbtcnf.txt" where XXX is the firmware you are emulating.



Look for the following lines:



#vsh extender

ms0:/dh/kd/vshex.prx



and change them like this:



#vsh extender

ms0:/dh/kd/vshex/sat_xml.prx

ms0:/dh/kd/vshex.prx





To get back to 1.5 while you are in the XMB push HOME + Start, and thats it! :)



Skin Modification:

=====================



For the moment only the Tags for InfoDisc and CPU are dealt with.

The parameter "left" corresponds with the placing of the first character.

The parameter "top" corresponds with the height in pixels.

The parameter "width" corresponds to the number of characters shown/available.

The parameter "color" corresponds to the text color in hex-format.

AABBVVRR means A=Alpha, B=Blue, V=Green, R=Red

The alpha channel still isn't supported.







===================

This is for the people who still have problems with the instructions being french or wipey's translation ;)

# wtf?Guest 2006-08-03 18:30
ok, so I copied the files correctly, edited the correct txt file, and the skin crap changed, but it locks up my psp if I boot it with a umd in the drive, so it's not diabling auto-mount. wtf?

# This didn't work for me eitherGuest 2006-08-04 02:09
When I do exactly what the Readme instructions say my Devhook 0.46 now freezes at startup after the SCE Logo. Judging from other posts im not the only one this has happened to.

# Wroked great but still one problem!AkumaMax 2006-08-04 03:13
the mod worked great for atleast my 2.60. I did it on this one because Iwas having trouble with the other Vshex mod. Only one thing Now when it starts up my PSP's intro sound kind of sounds funny like it's cut up. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

# conflict.Guest 2006-08-04 06:01
There's a conflict of changing ISOs at the XMB. This mod makes it load straight into the XMB (which is great, I"ve been lookin for this) but not it just messed up the way I change ISOs (Home+L/R). It doesn't change ISOs anymore. Does anybody have a fix for this problem?

# hmmmGuest 2006-08-04 08:32
hey if it boots straight to the xmb now, will it auto load UMD if its in the drive even if you have selected an iso to emulate or does it act like custom firmware and just doesnt auto load anything, cause i hate using parental level 1 stuff to stop auto loading.

Reply
 

 
# #25Guest 2006-08-04 13:59
It doens't autoload the UMD...just takes you straight to the XMB. You don't need to do the parental level trick.

# Didn't Edit .txtGuest 2006-08-04 14:02
I didn't edit the .txt file and it still worked (took me straight to the XMB).

Does anybody else use the DevHook where you can change ISOs from the XMB? Anybody know why it doesn't work anymore after installing this mod?

For the 45-millionth time, learn to read. Devhook is in no "legal trouble."
