Device Hook Sample Launcher v0.41c

greg | June 13, 2006

BOOSTER continues improving the ever-so wonderful Device Hook Sample Launcher. If you’re new to the scene or been living under a rock for awhile Device Hook enables full 2.x emulation on PSPs running firmware version 1.50! So essentially this allows you to boot any 2.x required UMD/ISO and also take full advantage of functionality provided in later firmware versions.

v0.41c corrects a few bugs discovered in previous versions. To upgrade, simply copy the ‘devhook.prx’ file to the correct location on your memory stick, overwriting the older file.

Require assistance setting this up? Refer to this tutorial from ChaosZero.

PSP Downloads:
Device Hook v0.41a - includes WiFi fix and firmware files
Device Hook Sample Launcher v0.41c - includes latest [v0.41c] devhook.prx

Works for me. make sure you copied/overwrite devhook.prx to ‘ms0:/dh/kd/devhook.prx’

you need devhook 0.41b first then you can fix the prx without getting a blackscreen.

Actually I think Devhook is being incorporated with support for compressed ISO’s.

Nope. Only 2.5 Think they are currently trying to implement 2.71 on it.

I really hope dev hook incorp compressed ISO’s. Dax seems good, untill you start to install it, Rubix cubes have seemed easer than all the settings, realted apps and paramiters for each iso. Further more typically reliable tutorial sources such as psphacking101 seem reluctant to talk about it for fear of sony getting the hump. Im all for these advances, but lets not have this exclusivity for the super geek pretty please! IMO**

I can’t get this thing to work either on my 1gb memorystick or my datel 4gb. I tried every possible change in the program and tried with an old game (virtua tennis) and a new (fight Night Round 3). It just goes to blacksreen and after a few seconds the psp reboots! i’m running firwmware 1.5. Can anybody help me with this problem.

If you reformat your mem stick and then follow the instructions this thing works fine.

For everyone having problems with black screen & reboots, simply GET RID OF THE FIRMWARE PSPHACKS PACKED WITH THE UTILITY.

Then put a UMD with a 2.0 or with a 2.5 update and launch dhinstaller.

It will extract a fresh firmware with correct settings and put all the files in the right folders.

The firmware packed in the psphacks releases contains screwed registry and params files causing somo PSP to hang and reset.

Regards.

Oh, I forgot: BOOSTER already implemented compressed isos, but you need the CSISO tool in order to compress and decompress them.

Compatibility with Dax format will be probably implemented in the future releases.

CSISO converter doesn’t work to me!!! Do I need some plug-in…or java support???

 
Comment by demo

the CISO converter confused me at first.. then i figured it out..

you have to right click onthe .bat file and click edit..

then type in your iso like this:

ciso 9 nba_ballers_rebound.iso nba_ballers_rebound.cso

make sure you game is called the same as the one you type it.. in the exact same format. no extra spaces or anything. just straight typing. then it should work for you..

BTW.. i figured this out by reading the README included in the CISO converter tool..

For those with the “black screen” problems.
As above, the included V2.00 firmware is a dud.

Delete the “dh” directory on the root of the memstick.
Delete the folders “DEVHOOK”, “DEVHOOK%”, “dh_inst” and “dh_inst%”, which are in the PSP/GAME/ directory.
Delete those folders only. This deletes all Devhook files.

Now, copy the files for V0.40 to the memstick.
InsertNow, copy the files for V0.41 to the memstick.
Now, copy the files for V0.41a to the memstick.
Now, copy the files for V0.41b to the memstick.
Now, copy the .prx file for V0.41c to the memstick.

O.K., thats the base install.

Now, on the memstick, open the “dh\200″ folder.
Delete the “flash1″ folder. Delete all files except the .txt file.
Open the “flash0\kd” folder. Delete all but the .txt files.

Insert a UMD with a V2.00 Firmware Upgrade, boot the PSP and run the “devhook firmware installer”.
Once this has installed, reboot the PSP and run Devhook.

Now you are GOLDEN.

Worked for me.

you have to start from 0.40 version and do the updates version one at a time to avoid getting mixed up and not to missplace any files , and you should be running the best loader I’v ever seen in my life thanks to all for this great release :) and keep up the good work .

THIS IS WHAT YOU DO PEOPLE!!! *READ BELOW*

1. (Skip this step if you’re doing fresh install) Delete your current Devhook folders inside the PSP/GAMES folder, and also delete the dh folder in the root of your memory stick.

2. go to the tutorial by Chaos Zero (linked above)

3. Download either of his full setup packs, extract the new folders where they belong (Devhook folders in PSP/GAMES and dh folder in root of memory stick).

4. Load up Devhook and enjoy.

*Note that his packs come with custom background but that can easily be customized by going into dh/250/flash1/theme/ and replacing the background with your own.
