DevHook v0.44 Released with 2.71 FW Emulation!!!

the much anticipated DevHook v0.44 with 2.71 firmware emulation! Incase you've been living under a rock, Device Hook Sample Launcher (DevHook) allows 1.50 users to emulate later firmware versions, i.e.) 2.50, 2.60 and now 2.71! This means you're able to take advantage of all the great features which are not present in 1.50: the Internet web browser, LocationFree player, WMA playback, flash support, etc… With that in mind you're also given the ability to boot UMDs/ISOs which require 2.0 and up!

Download: DevHook v0.44 w/ 2.71 FW Emulation - full install package, includes everything you require. Complete Files here or Here

Mad props to BOOSTER for this one!

Device Hook v0.43 Released!

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you… *drum roll* BOOSTER's Device Hook Sample Launcher v0.43 - now supporting 2.60 FW emulation! With the aid of the recent tools made available: 2.7X PRXDecrypter, 'reboot.bin' decompressor - you're now able to take advantage of all the features 2.60 has to offer on your [recently downgraded] 1.50! You even have the option to boot 2.60 required UMD's! Unfortunately no 2.7X support yet; however, I would imagine it's not far away… hang tight!

DevHook v0.43 offers a few other changes - mainly changes/fixes to improve stability and whatnot… The only cosmetic changes you'll notice is the menu and display has been revamped.

Of course you'll require a decrypted 2.60 FW dump in order to successfully emulate it with DevHook. We currently aren't hosting that but you may see it pop-up shortly. In the meantime you can use the tools mentioned above to create your own.

Working 2.5/2.6 Downgrader BETA!!

Remember, this is still a BETA and could possibly brick your PSP! There are a lot of reported successions though! Use this downgrader at your own risk!

Requirements:

  1. Your PSP CANNOT be a TA-082 (If you do have this PSP version, it may result in a brick)
  2. Your PSP CANNOT be a factory 2.50/2.60 PSP! It had to have been updated once before from a previous version or the downgrader will not work!

Instructions:

  1. Extract the files form the download below into the ROOT of your memory stick . And select yes to replace any files.
  2. Run GTA and load the eLoader.
  3. In the eLoader menu, choose the downdater test. (WARNING: the program won't output any display and any warnings, it will initiate the downgrader process inmediately.)
  4. The memory stick light will flash indicating the PSP is being flashed from the files on the memory stick.
  5. The screen WILL NOT display any info or anything for safety purposes!
  6. Wait for the memory stick light to stop flashing and wait at LEAST 1 minute!
  7. Now turn off your PSP after waiting enough time and making sure the memory stick light is no longer flashing.
  8. Turn your PSP back on. If all worked correctly, you can now enjoy the full benefits of firmware 1.5! If things didn't go so well, you might still have 2.6 or even worse a paperweight. YOU TOOK THE RISK!
