You gotta love this dev 0okm. He has been banged up several times in the comments section and he just bounces back in the scene as if nothing happened. Whether you like him or you don't, you can't deny the fact that this is one talented and promising guy who tried to help out those unlucky TA-082 users via his TA-082 SoftDown downgrader, too bad that he stopped with that project of his. But being the resilient guy that he is, he just went on to do more stuff.

Recently, he has unleashed the PSP ButtonHook for FW2.71. Now, he has just released v1.28 of the ButtonHook. The app is basically a button changing application for the PSP, and as always, it is best that you know what you're doing if you're going to use this app, we don't want you to be relying on blind faith as you may cause harm to that precious PSP of yours. It is best that you read the readme file and our previous report on this app.

To install this, copy dh/kd/271CtrlP0okm.prx to the MemoryStick

• Add line ms0:/dh/kd/271CtrlP0okm.prx to ms0:/dh/271F/flash0/kd/pspbtcnf.txt and ms0:/dh/271F/flash0/kd/pspbtcnf_game.txt
• see pspbtcnf.txt.sample, pspbtcnf_game.txt.sample
  

• If in MemoryStick root have CtrlP0okm.bin then it will use it to Hook the Button.

Changelog for v1.28:

• Add FindExAddrByNid

0okm's telling us to loosen up those buttons and to stop fronting about the darned thing. Slap me now for the Pussycat Dolls reference, but if there's an excuse to make a really freaky reference then you can be sure that excuse will be used up.

Back to business. Like him or not, 0okm has been quite active in the development scene, from introducing interesting news tidbits and rumors, to making stuff like the Hen C AutoExec modification. His latest release is a button changing application for PSPs, which he calls ButtonHook.

Once again, let's offer the standard disclaimer. If you don't know what you're doing when it comes to homebrew programs, stop right here, because you might do something very unsightly to your PSP's inner workings. Knowledge of code will do wonders to save you from the trouble using a PSP whose controls are now haywire. In any case, here's his installation procedure:

Copy dh/kd/271CtrlP0okm.prx to MemoryStick

• Add line ms0:/dh/kd/271CtrlP0okm.prx to ms0:/dh/271F/flash0/kd/pspbtcnf.txt and ms0:/dh/271F/flash0/kd/pspbtcnf_game.txt
• see pspbtcnf.txt.sample, pspbtcnf_game.txt.sample
  

          If in MemoryStick root have CtrlP0okm.bin then it will use it to Hook the Button.

Like we said, it's not a program for the newcomers to the scene. Regardless, if you have the know-how and the elbow grease to do some button tweaking, you'll probably enjoy this new app. You have to wonder what it does to a button-testing program though. For more information, check the code on the source link, and good luck homebrewers.
