Mathieulh stopped by our forums to tell us that a new version of psardumper (modded by Dark_Alex to dump 2.80 files) is available. Dark_Alex modded psardumper for 2.80 which was originally created/coded by psppet. This psardumper will dump reboot.bin and other necessary 2.80 files for devhook emulation!

This is quite some exciting news as it has been quite some time since 2.80 has been released and many have been anxiously awaiting this day. The only thing that remains for us to wait on is an update to devhook that will allow us to emulate 2.80! So, now that we have the files extracted/dumped, it is only a matter of time before we are emulating this precious firmware on our 1.50 firmware with devhook!

To install, extract the data.psar (we suggest using PBP Unpacker) and place it in the root of your memory stick (data.psar). After this is done, make sure you have the decrypter/dumper file in the correct folder (PSP/Game) and execute it on your PSP. The program will then dump/decrypt the necessary files onto your memory stick. This program is legal, however the files dumped using it are protected under copyright laws - so do not distribute them!

UPDATE: As you all might have probably heard, 2.81 is out today. Bad news? Nah. Because we've just found out that the 2.80 decrypter works on 2.81. What good does that do for us? Well it could only mean that Sony's newest baby may soon be emulated via DevHook!
