PSPWith everyone seemingly running up the walls with excitement now that Booster has allowed homebrew users to emulate firmware 3.01 under DevHook, you may have been left behind in the wake of applications such as the launcher port for 2.71 HEN-D and hybrid firmwares. We are also aware that after the release of DevHook v0.51 yesterday, some users were pulling their hair out as to how to install the latest DevHook.


Despite some extensive tutorials about DevHook v0.51 installation, it still proved an impossible task for some users. So today, tommydanger has come along and provided a 3.01 DevHook Firmware Installer in EBOOT form just for you.


That's right, no PSARDumper required, just you, a PSP, and the 3.01 update EBOOT.PBP. It's completely legal as it does not contain any dumped firmware files but will in fact do to your PSP what PSARDumper does to a PC. Here's what tommydanger said:

To decrypt the FW files you no longer need to extract the PSAR file from the update, the Installer will take care of this. It also moves the FW files to the right directory, you no longer have to move them by hand, and to finish off, it installs the F1 folders so you don't get the Blue Screen of Death.


Now doesn't that sound easy? That's because it is! Just download the 3.01 update from our download site, download the 3.01 DevHook Firmware Install, and you're done. This application is based on PSAR Dumper by PspPet, Dark_AleX, and Team Noobz and this version has been specifically made for the 3.01 Update, but tommydanger is working on a version that will support all updates. Have fun emulating 3.01!

Ok I Have SE-C and it Works perfectly for me:
Just : Turn Off Your console and hold the R button and turn on again while holding - In the Menu , Go to Configuration and Change "Game folder Homebrew" To 1.50 Kernel . (For this Installer To work)
Now DO as The instructions: Copy the PBP File to root change its name - Copy the Devhook 051 to root ( 2 dirs) and the program itself to GAME folder (Not GAME150 - we change it) .
Now Just Run the Installer And it Works GR8 .

hm. actually 3.01 is probably the easiest firmware to install manually. just dump with psar dumper and copy ms0:/f0 to ms0:/dh/301/f0

 » quesion

i dont get it, why cant Devhook 0.51 just be like the 0.46 with easy installer? or like the 1.63 update just replace DH? is 3.01 firmware that different from the past?

also, will this installer write to the flash?


   Re: . (Unregistered) - 2006-12-06

yeah this will write to the flash. and even better, it will brick your psp. cool eh?

yeh 0.46 easy installer was simple... but 0.51 took me about 10 minutes it was nothing.... really are people that lazy i mean the walk through guides here on qj are awesome....


   Re: datnizzle (Unregistered) - 2006-12-06
 » lazy?

I don't think all of them are lazy. It's just that if people see alot of steps they become worried about making a mistake and bricking their PSP's. Not everyone who owns a PSP has computer knowledge. I actually charge people to put emulators and roms on their PSP's for this very reason, that and they don't want to spend the time to do it.

check psp-hacks, chaos zero should be making his ultimate installer soon

   by funtimePSPowner (Unregistered) - 2006-12-05
 » 2.82+

I read somewhere that firmware 2.8+ needs to be psardumped on the individual psp because it is somehow getting info from YOUR psp and adding it to the firmware files, which is why you cant copy a full install to another psp and have it work. Not sure the exacts, but its something like that.

Biggest success trick i had was remove ALL old devhook files from the memory stick, for some reason renaming dh to DHOLD and deleting the folders from game didnt allow me a successful load of .51...but deleting those files and starting over worked great.

Do u think this works on 2.71 se-c? has anyone tried it on it?


   Re: Papa_Smurf (Unregistered) - 2006-12-05
 » Works great!

It works awesome on SE-C, but you will have to run it on iR Shell with the homebrew path to GAME150 (put the auto installer in GAME150)!

if u need to start ir shell to launch devhook papa_smurf, then either u r really retarded or there is something wrong w/ur se-c install.
   by SYM (Unregistered) - 2006-12-05
 » @ FuntimePSPowner

The installer does the work of psar, (dumping the memstick firmware) then the work of X-flash 16g (dumping the firmware in the onboard flash) and then transfers the files to where they need to be to work with Devhook. That's why he said he could make it for 2.82 firmware

 » Name?

Two problems:

What does the name of the eboot have to be called?
And secondly I am running 2.71 SE-c but when I put these files into game150 it shows a corrupted icon. This doesnt happen when I put it in the game folder. Could this be causing my problem of the program not being able to find the update?


   Re: Fixer (Unregistered) - 2006-12-05
 » name

Just name it "eboot"

   Re: zZzZZ (Unregistered) - 2006-12-05
 » re

this works on 2.71 SE-C. i just used it and it worked perfectly for me.

Name the 3.01 update "EBOOT.PBP" and place it in the root of your memory stick

copy over this application to your GAME folder

copy over the 3 devhook files

and then making sure your 2.71 SE-C is in 1.50 kernel mode, start up the app, and then it should work.

This is very help to everyone, but not to me. coz after i unstalled the day 3.01 came out, it work perfectly fine, except i didn't get to play my SAVE game data. :(

So i went back to 2.71 ughh

I have done both way and both ways worked almost flawlessly, although this one was much quicker. Highly recommended for people new to psp. Also i like that you dont have to flash on this one. Flashing always makes me nervous...
