DevHook 0.46

Lots of you were ecstatic when Booster recently updated this special application called DevHook to v0.46. Your comments said it all -- excitement, happiness, amazement among many others, but aside from that, lots of PSP gamers were asking if there's a way to get out of emulated firmware 2.71 back to 1.50 without switching off the PSP. Well, we may just have the solution for that.

logicbomb.de shared through our forums about this app: a DevHook 0.46 Plugin that will allow you to reboot to 1.5 without turning off the PSP. But let us just clarify that logicbomb.de wasn't the one who created this plugin. According to him, at first he didn't really have an idea who made this, but thanks to some info that was passed on to him, he divulges that we could now credit this creation to developer, Saturne_1606.

Shifting our focus to the plugin, this one will enable you lucky PSP owners to reboot to 1.5 from anywhere in the 2.71 XMB by holding the HOME and START buttons. How to install this? All you have to do is extract the contents of this folder to the root (ms:/ ) of your memorystick and overwrite the existing vshex.prx file. This one is actually like jas0nuk's original reboot to 1.5 mod which only worked on 2.5 emulation. Also the developer can't be held responsible for anything bad that happens to your PSP while using this plug-in, keep that in mind always. With that aptly stated, let us know your suggestions, opinions, and other what-nots through your comments.

 » Ok.

I swear you can reboot back to 1.5 by just selecting the "2.71 Exit" eBoot from the 2.71 XMB?

@5 , yeah that was just what i was thinking there's already an escape from 2.xx to 1.5 app with devhook and i'm pretty sure no reboot is required.

Ahh you have been able to reboot to 1.5 since like .43 maybe before, using the L + R + Up shortcut... why do people keep making stuff like this... there is already stuff in built... so you have to be loading or quitting a game, so what... weird o' weird

 » 10: With this you doesnt need to start a game to reboot

(which I really hated cuz it takes time and is boring). With this you only need to press HOME+START (same that could be done with 0.43, I think). I will go for this one, thanks!

   by niemand0815 (Unregistered) - 2006-08-01
 » which one is better

afaik the home+start mod makes a hard reboot of the psp, whereas the exit-eboot delivered with devhook makes a soft exit to 1.5.

maybe someone could check whether it is saver to use the eboot version (whether the eboot exists "savely" from devhook closing all open ms0-access-threads first).

2.8 is useless but it would be cool to have it :)

2.8 would be good for demos

   by boysetsfrog (Unregistered) - 2006-08-01
 » @12

You don't need to be starting a game it works when you are quiting one too... And seeing as those most of us are emulating to load games anyway... it makes perfect sense to me... but bleh

 » credits?! Oo

why give credits to someone taking boosters return to 1.5 source code and paste it into the vshex source and compile it... Oo not a big deal

   by citizen - 2006-08-01
 » seriously...

come on people.... why would you wanna exit devhook @ first place? besides all the shortcut keys, all you do is hold the power button up, and you're back to 1.5... It'll take you longer just to post a comment, or even think about "an exit shortcut". that's bs =]

 » With The Custom Firmware

All It Does Is The Same Thing As The Power Button....
So If You Have A Custom Firmware Like I Do That Depending On The Posistion Of The WLAN Switch It'll Just Throw You Right Back Into 2.71....Which I Did Feeling Stupid...lol

Get one "Devhook0.46 Full Auto Installer". After successfully installed into your PSP, extract Devhook 0.46 plugin. Copy file vshex.prx from the plugin to ms0:dhkd and overwrite the old one. Emulate your DH0.46 to 2.71. In the emulated main menu(XMB), just press Home + Start. It should/will go back to 1.50. Walla !!!!!

I like this plugin, thank you saturn 1606 they should not have even mentioned the guy who found it cause I found this awhile ago jeez, man pspupdates you suck.

anyways I have a question when i installed this my custom gameboot video was changed to the default one. Did this happen to anyone else?

Of Course The Gameboot Is Going To Change..Its The Devhook Emulation Of 2.71 As If You Just Did A Cold Restart Of The Psp Your Actual Gameboot Should Be Fine But When You Boot DevHook It Should Be The Standard Gameboot.
