Are you HEN-D users feeling a bit left out with the recent developments in the homebrew community? Specifically, the release of Devhook 0.51 with 3.01 emulation? Well, today we've got good, no wait, make that grrreat news for all ya HEN-D users!

Dark_Alex has just released his port of Devhook 0.51 launcher to 2.71- HEN-D (also usable on TA-082 PSPs)! Yeah-huh, that's right, now 2.71 HEN-D users can also get in on the 3.01 action! Dark_Alex's usage instructions for this port is short and sweet, so we'll let you guys get it straight from him, alright?

Instructions: With devhook 0.45 for 2.71, emulate 1.50 and use psardumper to extract the firmware/s you want (remember that from 2.80 and greater this is specific to each psp so you can't just download a prepared dump). The rest of the instructions are the same that for 1.50.

Now, we're sure there will be those who'll ask whether this can be used with Hen-C too. And the plain and simple answer is nope. Dark_AleX says that the launcher port won't work with Hen-C simply because it uses some functions from Hen-D. So there ya have it! Oh, and kudos to Sony PSP for sharing this info with us in our forums. We're actually a bit torn as to which is the bigger news here: the Devhook port, or the fact that in contrary to earlier reports about Dark_AleX quitting the scene, he's still here and very much active in the community! Wootwoot! Nice to see you back, Dark_AleX! (Uh-oh, here come the first posters...)
