Even though DevHook has been struggling with some legal problems, people like Saturne_1606 continue to show support and some loving for this very controversial, much-talked-about, double-edged application. He's just released a mod dubbed DevHook vShex Mod v0.3. If Saturne_1606's name rings a bell, it's because he also developed the Devhook 0.46 Plugin that allows users to reboot to 1.5 without having to turn off your PSP.

Features:

• Disable auto-mount (you will boot straight to XMB even if you are in 333mhz)
• Back to 1.5 with HOME+Start.
• A first launch of skin support

How-to:

To use it, just add these lines (if they don’t exist) in your pspbtcnf.txt:

•     #vsh extender
•     ms0:/dh/kd/vshex/sat_xml.prx
•     ms0:/dh/kd/vshex.prx

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.
