Could it be, you and I, never imagined?


Rumor alert!!!
Did we just boost the spirits of our PSP Updates readers? Readers Alomo and Axel told us to check MaxConsole Forums out, where forum member Mathieulh claims that Booster is back in business with the PSP, and working on DevHook, after several months of inactivity due to coding... for... another... console (guess which one). This is what he said:

Just for the people not to worry, Booster has now resumed his work on the psp (especially devhook) after several months of inactivity due to beeing working on another console's scene (I am not sure I can name it so I wont).


I am sorry, for now I cannot give any ETA current devhook betas, still be sure to know serious improvements were done.


There's no other independent confirmation of this claim from Mathieulh, other than Dark_Alex's hints about a DevHook 2.80 beta (and the hints about the other console). And that it still had some bugs needing working out. This is the most likely scenario we're looking at. But there's that 3.0 dump/decrypt to consider.

Check the source out and see how many times the numbers 3.0 and 3.01 pop up. Welcome to the world of wild dreams and wilder speculation. As we said, the hardest piece of intel we have on Booster comes from Dark_Alex about the 2.80+ betas, so we can safely sit on - or stand by - that. After the dump of DA BIG 3-0H, can we begin to believe in miracles again?

Without any direct post from Booster himself, everything else really is idle speculation, even from us. But we'll bet that when he does speak up, the scene will be hanging on his every word. Our bet's on the 2.80. But we can still believe in miracles, even the wildest ones...

Thanks, Alomo and Axel, for mailing us this tip! Batten down the hatches, QJ boys and girls, the reaction's gonna go wild!

hurray for B00sters Return... Anyways, I've been heard this news like 4 weeks ago. All i can say is a certain sum1 told me. +_+ and its not B00ster lolz.

And all you people who hates on B00STER can go to hell coz hackin the P$P shows that $ony defense on security is weak, so as long as there sum1 who can crack $ony's code, it drives their will to make even a better security *coughs* they can't *coughs* lolz

Even if he managed to emulate 3.0. The PSX emulator will be much harder.

Each PSP has a unique ID that has to be registered on the Playstation network in order for you to transfer the PSX games to it.

Since this ID comes from the PSP itself, im thinking the MAC address but I could be wrong, chances of getting pirated PSX games will be slim to none.

Cause in fact, most people use these to run pirated games.

This is a great news.

I knew that booster would not have abandoned us.

I think that lunch the first devhooh 2.80.
(but I wonder me, it will also emulate 2.81 - 2.82 firmware?)

Later he will assemble on 3.00 or 01.

It is fundamental to make to work emulator psx,but to succeed in loading our isos without ps3.

Go booster GO.

I am excited there isn't I do it more to wait.

Mathieulh ? Do you remember Mathieulh?
Some weeks ago he claimed that a new devhook is going to come out the following week. And what happened? NOTHING!!!
This guy i nothing other than a dirty liar.

 » Can't wait....

I definitely wished that Booster would not leave the PSP scene. They say he's coming back to work on the next devhook. But how do we know this isn't all just a big rumor.

I hope it isn't, it's finally a developer that puts Sony in it's place. Because a short while after another Firmware Update is released there is a new Devhook to emulate it.

More power to the people. And if Booster does read the comments here, we need you back!

 » 3.00 devhook.

I want 3.00/3.01 devhook for 1.5 or 2.71
its the same cuz if you have 1.5, you can emulate 2.71 to emulate 3.0 and if you have 2.71 you can emulate 1.5 (or downgrade) to emulate 3.0 so ill be happy both ways.

just be patience everyone, give him all the time he needs.
its out when its out. =D

GO BOOSTER!

I've had 1.5 for a few months and i've sort of gotten bored with it since not much is going on to improve what you can do so I'm upgrading anyway

Hope Booster does release a 3.0 devhook emulator before Christmas as a christmas gift :p or before MetalGearSolid:PortableOps... or we'd be sitting on our asses watching the trailers instead of playing the game :o

 » 2.81

well, once ur done with that start working on a downgrader for 2.81 to 1.50 or maybe even 2.71 and then we could use a 2.71 downgrader to 1.50 or anything like that :P

PS: i totally hate myself for upgradeing to 2.81 on a boring day with nothing to do
