DevHook Launcher Mod v1.61a


Developer Chunglam has just released an update to his DevHook Launcher Mod, which is currently at v1.61a. Since there aren't too many launcher mods around, updates like these are truly a good thing to hear about, especially since modder TheBuzzer has also decided to lie low at the moment.

For v1.61a, the creator of this mod has added the following things:
  • Added 12x12 character font in GB encoding format
  • Added sample macro file "name.eng" for vshexmod with more than 350 game id and game name in English. You can change the name to whatever text you like, just make sure rename ISO/CSO file begin with game id and select correct font in vshexmod. Please rename "macro.sample" in "ms0:/dh" to "macro.txt" to activate macro function.
  • Updated "mini-faq.txt" with information about CSO cache system
  • updated Italian language file by hispanico
  • Updated Spanish language file by Charlie52
  • updated French language file by sanaell
  • Updated French language file by Guilouz
  • Updated Chinese language file
Vshexmod v1.18a
  • Added macro function for ISO/CSO file name.
  • For example, you rename "Bleach.cso" to "[USAS-40011]Bleach.cso" and add below text line to "ms0:/dh/macro.txt"
  • [UCAS-40011]name="Bleach - Heat the Soul" will make vshexmod show the .cso file as "Bleach - Heat the Soul" and also try to look for cover bitmap file name start with "USAS-40011" or "[USAS-40011]"
  • Improved "Copy to MS" performance
  • Added startup welcome text mode to prevent cracking sound when emulation start
  • Switching CPU/BUS clock using "HOME+SELECT" combo key even in single key mode
  • Added show cover picture function, save cover picture from gamespot in 24bit/32bit bitmap to "ms0:/dh/covers" with same name as ISO/CSO/DAX file plus .bmp extention. The bitmap file size should be under 100k. For example, cover bitmap file for "game.cso" should be "game.cso.bmp".
  • Added ".dax" extension filter
  • Now the font list is gnerated from font files in "ms0:/dh/res"
  • Specify character encoding in language file to make sure vshexmod use right font. For example, if you want to use simplified Chinese, add following line to your language file [vsh_setup]charcode=GB
This mod comes with a comprehensive readme file as well as an additional mini-FAQ that Chunglam has prepared, so be sure to check those out, especially if this will be your first time using a DevHook mod.

 » What is this Launcher Mod anyways?

Is it an official part of DevHook, or someone made this mod that goes hand in hand with DevHook.

If the latter, do you guys know if the maker of DH is still working on DevHook? (Making it 2.8 compatible)

 » Explain VSHEX?

Can someone give an informative, simple explenation of VSHEXMOD. I have never had any issues with devhook, or understanding what does what, but have not seen much info regarding vshexmod.

thanks,

 » WOW

I gotta say, the CSO Cache feature ROCKS!
I mean I got a 2gig memory stick but i STILL find it handy, I compressed Virtua Tennis is 18 megs, using only the features of the game I needed. Gonna try and do it for all the games I have, saves having to carry all these different games around...

 » CSO?!?!?

sorry i missed this of........how do i use web browser on 2.71 im on 222cpu and it still freese's any help?

   by SYM (Unregistered) - 2006-09-19

I'm pretty much with #11 on this, how exactly does this new CSO cache system benefit the mod's user? If it somehow reduces decompression slowdown then why exactly aren't we testing Grand theft CSOs at this moment and setting all our compressions to 9 as I speak?

 » heres how it goes

@15.

they got in trouble for INCLUDING the flash of the firmware in the program, not for making it compatible. So this is an ok update but i still would like to use my 2.80 flash :D.

 » booster, are you there??

may be I'm not the only one wondering if booster is still around or not in our community. fw 2.8 have been decrypted for quite some times now, but still no updates for devhook. after all that bulls**ts from sony, did he just left or what? please don't leave booster, more devhook updates please....

   by axelixc - 2006-09-19
 » lol...this is old...

yo ! stop asking silly question. this is just another add-ons to the devhook. it still can't emulate 2.8. with this, you can see some nice game image of iso/cos you put into your ms & use this with cw cheat in 2.71 emu.

Read this & decide if he is coming back

 » gameboot.pmf at your ease

u can use this dh to lauch any gameboot.pmf as u like & u dun need to rename yr "xxxxx.pmf" to gameboot.pmf. For example: if you have psone.pmf, just put this to ms_root/dh/271/gameboot/(put yr file here). It should work as magic.

u can use this tricks to choose the gameboot u like b4 u want to flash it into 1.5 flash0. try installing harleg's custom fw with recovery patch 1st b4 u flash it.

 » Booster where art thou?

 » Please someone post back on this?

I was wonndering if this devhook dosent launch the iso/cso or umd when entering the XMB after loading it from devhook like the custom firmware dark_alex for fw1.50 when you start up the disc it dosent say "You need to update before playing game" (or something. i forget). I have the Dark_Alex custom firmware and the "no disc boot" works and i have devhook and the "no disc boot" works with it too. but if i update to this one i would like to know if it works with this too. ThanX in advance.
