Guess backwards compatibility's for DevHooks, too.


Getting Booster's DevHook 0.50 on your PSP to play 2.8x games was the present in the stocking that blew everyone's chimneys away. But let's just say that old presents should not be thrown away, too. We're talking about older versions of DevHook here. One potential reason is because the older DevHooks have better compatibility with older PSP games.

Makes sense. Hence, wraggster of DCEmu announces dodswm's hex-edited DevHook for 2.71, and DevHooks 0.45 and 0.46. With these, PSP owners can boot DevHook 0.50 for 2.8x off the Stick, and (for example) DevHook for Dark_Alex's 2.71 SE-C off the flash. One even has THREE DevHooks happily playing in his PSP. Backwards compatibility in a flash - literally, which means you might want to be careful going about with this. Here's what dodswm has to say about that process:

Note: When installing the firmware onto your mem stick, DO NOT overwrite any of the files from this package, or it will not work. Just do a normal devhook install, and the devhook folder on the mem stick root is "HD" not "DH".


The complete package at the download link below includes the hex-edited DevHooks for 2.71, 0.45, and 0.46, PLUS a copy of Chunglam's DevHook Launcher/VSHEX Mod 1.65c that has been modified to use the "LM" folder on the Memory Stick root, what with all these modded DevHooks to load and all. Let's just hope everyone can keep all these numbers sorted out.

(BTW, the single DL link below contains all FOUR file sets in individual ZIP files. Like we said: hope you can keep the numbers sorted out. The individual ZIP file names are your friend in this case.)

I dont get it, all i do and have done since the begining of devhook is rename the "__SCE__DH_ENG" and "%__SCE__DH_ENG" folders in GAME. like this "__SCE__DH_ENG2"

Works perfect for me and always has. and all your versions of devhook operate thru the same DH folder. and since version 5 is a little different, simply copy your psp_game.txt (whatever) files into the FW folder.

Maybe im missing something here, but for the longest time when i upgrade to new devhook, i keep my older version just by simply adding a letter or number to BOTH the old/new folders. never have ran into a problem yet.

 » Can someone hexedit Devhook 0.50 to use hd folder ?

Hi !

I´m using a firmware with wlan dual boot and it needs the 0.46 version of the "dh" folder to boot. Can anyone hexedit the new 0.50 version to use "hd", so I can use both ?

 » So is this just for SE-C? Or Devhook itself as well.

Hello PSP Owners,

I'm using fw 1.50 on my PSP. I don't want to use the SE-C method. I rather use Devhook itself with the UMD in my drive. Would this [Hex-edited DevHooks 0.4x/for 2.71 SE-C package] be a good choice to use. Thank You in Advance!

I use new devhook 0.50.

but if you put the firmware 2.71 in the folder 2.71 of the new devhook, it' s work full.

You can be selected it from menu devhook 0.50.

2.71 Full working, with all function.

100% Work, Testet.

Try to trust.

Is there anyway to make this work with HEND? Me and another guy tried figuring out a way last night by ourelves. We could get the 0.50 launcher to start but when we started it, it just went back to 1.5. Is there anyway this method can be used for us TA-082 2.71 ers?

Thanks
