Devhook v0.45.000


Proof that once the great developers start, they simply keep rolling out amazing updates! And proof that Booster is one of the greatest developers to have graced the PSP hacking scene.

Just like the last update which offered 2.71 emulation, this one will rock your socks off too! It apparently supports homebrew launching right on 2.71 firmware. Couple it with harleyg's custom firmware mod which allows you to directly load DevHook on startup, and you're practically in PSP heaven. Together, these two mods offer almost all of the functionality of the $90 modchip, for free!

Here's a detailed changelog, translated by our very own Jeff Chen:
  • Support for loading EBOOT.PBP on memory stick and EBOOT.BIN on UMD(ISO) in ELF format.
  • Fixed problems that made 1.50 NoUMD not functioning.
  • Added more exclusive controls added to flash emulation. As well as other memory stick breaking countermeasures.
  • Memory map changed for rebooting.
To-Do
  • FW2.71 registry initialization failure problem.
  • Stabilize flash emulation (file access).
  • NoUMD for FW 2.xx
  • NAND driver level emulation
Now I don't know about you guys, but the To-Do section lists some pretty revolutionary things too! If you're new to the whole 'devhook' thing, don't worry. One of our dedicated forum members, chriscooke109, has written a great guide on how to make the magic work. Although it still reads as a Devhook 0.44 guide, the steps mentioned there will work just as well for the new version.

Isn't it great how the PSP scene is suddenly bursting out with great discoveries and creations everyday? And this just begs the question- "What next?". And I personally can't wait for the answer!

Couldn't someone figure out a way to integrate the features of 2.71 into a 1.5 custom firmware? If they have access to the files, shouldn't they be able to figure something out?

i wonder if this'll help crack the real 2.71 FW for homebrew...

I'm personally looking forward to NAND emulation - decrypted 3.00 update here we come.....once sony's released it that is (I think this is proving trickier to fix for them, or we'd have 2.72 out by now).

no kernel access and homebrew has to be converted, so it does not run on 1.5
