Devhook


The PSP 'scene' is having some of its best times lately, what with the recent deluge of downgraders, and one of the most awesome pieces of homebrew, Devhook. And guess what? Booster has just raised the bar with his latest incarnation of Devhook. Apparently, the latest release supports 2.71 reboot. Or in other words, 2.71 Emulation! Now that we're caught up, the ball is in Sony's court!

Here's a small guide on how to get it running:
  1. Download Devhook 0.44 and put everything on the memory stick as usual.
  2. Download the 2.71 Firmware update from our site.
  3. Open the EBOOT.PBP with PBP Unpacker or a similar application and extract the DATA.PSAR file.
  4. Put the DATA.PSAR in the root of the memory stick. (Not in any folder)
  5. Run the included Devhook installer on the PSP (install flash0 and flash1).
  6. Extract Devhook 0.44 again and overwrite everything in the dh folder (its going to be a couple of .txt files which include the path for the prx's)
  7. Use the 2.71 Decrypter to obtain your own copy of a decrypted reboot.bin file, or make use of Google to find one online
  8. Place reboot.bin in ms0:dh1reboot.bin
For a more detailed guide, check out the Devhook Tutorial on our Forums!

Now you can enjoy all that the latest PSP firmware has to offer on your 1.50 PSP - including the flash-enabled PSP Web Browser! Want the rest of the world to know about one of the greatest PSP conquests yet? Be sure to Digg it!

PSP is now a ***** console. All these ISO loaders etc. is damaging the PSP since it is likely that many game manufacturers will pull out of the PSP market leaving it like the engage.

Think about it. Nobody will buy games....thats a bad image.

I got a DS and PSP. At least i know that the DS is a safe console and is unlikely for it to fall.

Bye bye PSP, the pirates have voted and the games publishers will take note and leave in droves. Time to buy a DS...

Now cue: "I am sure only a small fraction of people actually pirate" types of messages from self righteous and near sighted pirates.

 » "bye bye psp?"

everyone who keeps saying the pirates have ruined PSP and that DS is so safe are morons. DS is owned too. You can do all this crap on it as well.

Need to know how to install dev hook, da read me instructions is horrible! n e one know of a site, or can type for me.

 » Finally

Finally those of us that have been ripped off by the corperate machine will have it all. This is what the PSP was made for, to push the capabilities of handhelds. Now we all can enjoy everything the psp has to offer. Homebrew AND all the newest games.

btw #5 can you thing of one of the major reasons that we all want to be able to boot to 2.7x? so that we can run the newest UMD games. Even tho devhook has the capability of ISO loading it would not be posted here if it did not have a fully LEGAL use.

 » There are loaders for the DS as well..

Just wanted to comment on a previous post about the loaders for the PSP. There are ways to obtain and play DS games without buying them as well. Just FYI.
