Device Hook v0.43 Released!
greg | July 10, 2006
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.
Now, all that aside…
Download: DevHook v0.43
Update: ChaosZero, from our forums, has also updated his DevHook tutorial to reflect v0.43. So if you need help, read this! And finally you can fetch Chaos Zero’s DevHook FULL install here (now includes the 300MHz WiFi fix & BOOSTER’s fix). Enjoy!
Update: A quick WiFi & Save bug fix release from BOOSTER, now making it DevHook v0.43.0101! Simply replace “devhook.prx” with this one. Download: DevHook v0.43.0101

this is great news… only i need to get hold of a 2.60 JAP Firmware eboot and cant find it anywhere :(
(1st post?)
kl (2nd post)
give it a while and someone will post a complete set with everything all ready setup, saying that chaos zero is prob posting it and updating this tutoral as we speak.. :)
SWEET cant what to get my psp from ebay
very nice, will try right away
Great~ that’s a great thing for us
does this mean we can now load outrun iso because it is a 2.6 game????
My god I still can’t get any versions of DevHook to run on my psp its FW 1.5 and all ready to go. I have read and done 5 different tutorials anyone knwo what is going on? It seems every single tutorial i have used is always different form the last i can’t understand it all my PSP does is shut off when I try and work it. Can i get some feedback? Thx
~Atomsk~
jump on the forums and go to the tutoral section and look towards the top there one from chaos zero, its fully working all you need to do is copy the files onto your memory stick
Awsome. I had a feeling this would be realeased today. Downloading now.
Ihave been 3 months having my PSP and I always regularly to check for such news of brilliant works.
Still, this prx decrypt still confuses me and so tricky. Anyone can help for any tutorial links?
http://rapidshare.de/files/25446593/Devhook.zip.html
you can get the full package
nice work man, now the only people who really need the mod chip are 2.7x users
I used ChaosZero pack and it works fantastically well. It´s just Copy & Paste (no install needed). Outrun 2006 works.
Yeah! omg! THX! man now i can play my 2.6 games.
I just tried playing Daxter with the full package posted by prominator on rapidshare and it locked up on the Please wait… screen when trying to exit the game.
ok do i need to install firmware?
all my games work wo ho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111
Cool Just tested monster hunter freedom usa umd and it works!!!!!!!
do i delete my previous dh folder or do i let the new one over copy it?
get the pack that i uploaded and it should work fine
i was looking at the source code and 2.7 is there but inactive
that means he is almost ready to make devhookv0. 44.
I just played Daxter again with ChaosZeros pack and I played fine. Question: will the vshex 1.50 return mod work with devhook 043? Or is there an easier way to switch from UMD mode to ISO mode?
If anybody finds it freezes when you hit START then go to the OTHER menu option at the bottom and choose preload address and choose the first one in the list… It will work fine after you do that…
What is the devhook installer all about, have never seen nobody talk about it. What is it for? What does it do?
does the internet browser work for you guys?
no change option is NOT working, please help! Thanks for the great work BOOSTER and then chaos zero.
I have translated all of the read me files that came with this to English This should help some people.
http://rapidshare.de/files/25464499/DEVHOOKTXT.rar.html
I am very pleased that this. However, would this support 1.0 firmware, or would I be better off simply emulating 1.0 firmware?
SHIT I THINK I JUST BRICKED MY PSP :’(
how did you brick your psp?
and does the interbrower work?
u cant brick your psp with this, if u do then wow must be dumb or something, good program, im sure u did not though
well it crashed on boot and then i switched it off and then its not turning back on f@k it i am going to Hong Kong so i will just get a Undiluted Platinum Chip fitted
Can’t get wifi and/or browser of 2.60 to work…
BTW, prominator, thank you for your package. And also with so lovely wallpaper ;))
Hello guys, I am trying this (previously I used 0.42B), and the screen went blank (freeze) after I start. Is it anythink to do with PL-Address?
Please help. Thanks.
With the Full install files this is kick a**.. Nice work!!
yeah about the wall paper
it was my brother ;)
Oh, something’s wrong. Still can’t get wifi / browser of 2.60 to work, and 2.50 don’t work at all (it just freeze on PSP screen and turning off with my LocoRoco CSO). More to say, old 0.41d just can’t launch – black screen and turning off too. Maybe news about browser etc was a little bit to early? Is there anyone who made it work?..
prominator, it was your brother’s photo? o_O
;)
Hey ho,
this is great.
Just a question though, I got a few games that dont load with the “This game could not be started” error.
eg. Crash Tag Racing, Viewtiful Joe, Tokobots.
I havent tried different DevHook settings yet, but is there some general hints on what are the best settings for games with this error?
There are a rather alot of different settings which makes it a bit daunting with all the different combinations when you dont know exactly what they mean.

http://rapidshare.de/files/25449520/DEVHO0K0.43.rar.html
dev hook 43 + 2.6 included!!
I want 2.71 :(
sovram, pack you gave a link to doesn’t work at all – just black screen at start, not even a reboot.
BTW, i had same black screens with prominator pack too, but just a couple of time…
it just got updated now it emulates 2.71
ya devhook 0.45 supposedly has 2.71! But it sounds hard to setup. :/
Where did you read that it runs 2.71. I just check his site and I dont see it.
2.71 version has just been released!!!!!!!!! its not on this site yet but its on psp updates
the 2.71 version was a FAKE! :((
its a fake
why do people have to fake stuff its annoying
i like the way this site writes its articles
I know this is not where i should post this, but can anyone give me a link where i can download gta lcs.i have tried limewire and ares, neither work. if any of yall could help, it would be awesome.
Demaxx_1@yahoo.com
i cant get the internet browser to work on 2.6
jbcse: Use latest pack and 222, NOT 333MHz settings. Wifi DO NOT WORK with 333MHz in this build!
and yes, i managed to get all to work. yoohoo! =)
do you need to do anything with the f1 and f0 files once you download the iso or just put the iso in the iso folder and that’s all?
GTA eloader started – no problem :-)
works a treat!! Thanks to booster and chaos zero this is huge!!
when in 2.60 mode you can change game’s by simply hitting HOME and R or L trigger! (you have to wait about 5 or 6 seconds before the Next game comes up.
Very cool!
No need to switch back and forth between 1.5 and 2.6 to change games.
LOVE this feature! :)
it’s a scrolling feature … the game doesn’t start up … just the icon of the game. I have 4 games on memory stick and it showing me the next game on the stick when I hit the HOME and L or R trigger. Then I can decide if that’s the one I want to play next. I wasn’t sure I wrote it clearly in my first post.
Great FEATURE!
Does anyyone have probs with this freezing. I can boot games but when i try to go back home it freezes.
This programme sucks! Cant work with anything at all. I will stick with Umd emulator and Daxziso.
w…t…f.
this progam sucks
i cant even go to a diff fw please try again
i am NOT satisfied
my PSP freezes everytime i change fw
nope keep trying till the fw IS WORKING
this is the bomb works great for me been playing tekken (great game) keep up the good work.
Okay, call me names if you want to, but does this prog mean I don’t have to patch my 2.0+ isos to load them on my 1.5?
If you’re having problems using devhook try another memory stick. In my case the 1GB Sony Stick was the cause of this problem. Both my Sandisk sticks have no problem running devhook.
I will call you a name… how about. Dumbass excuse for a noob? There you go. Noob.
No Problem with this as with all the previous releases, some people are just too lame to work out what to do. Great App best thing on my PSP :)
I posted ealier and this Has Bricked my PSP not working :(
This app cannot brick your psp. It is impossible as it does not wirte into the flash.
Check if your battery ran dry. ^^
I find it hard to believe if this did brick your PSP as mentioned above its impossible. Try taking your battery out and popping it back in.
This is one excellent application, though the web browser doesnt seem to work :(
this a video i made booting 2.6 on my psp
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYOvNPjWAos
if anyone needs help just pm me at prominator1
in yahoo messenger
So this version is exaclty as the other devhooks? just download the 2.6 update and exract DATA.PSAR and put it in the root of your memo and etc etc.. right?
it has bricked my PSP it went on the Sony Screen and then it crashed. I then Took the battery out and then put it back in and there is nothing. Tried turning it on there is no lights nothing. Its the Japanese 1000k PSP not the 1003 psp
ok its working it was out of battery. but WTF because when u start the PSP it crashed and then it stopped and never went blank.
You know what…When I first got my PSP I googled PSP sites to find out which one was the best. I decided on this one. (Like many others) Now that i’ve got my feet wet a little i’ve realized that most of the people who visit this site are jerks with over-extensive vocabularies who like to type crap to make other people who don’t know as much feel stupid. I’d like to see the people who run this site do something about it because people like me rely on people like you. And if that isn’t the way it’s supposed to be, don’t post tutorials and stuff; just post stuff for people who know stuff and screw us noobs…
hopefully this works for gta
can any1 tell me why .42 wont boot socom, the gun con??chaos rocks hope to see more of ur magic!lol
it works for almost all untouched games up to FW 2.6 and yes GTA is one of the many working ones
HOW DO I GET THIS TO WORK I HAVE USED THE OTHER DEVHOOKS BUT HOW DO INSTALL THIS ONE!?
1) dont write with capslock on
2) grab the Full Pack from this site
3) delete your previous installation
4) copy the contents of the MS_ROOT folder to the root of your memcard
et voilá
it works
i agree with the above poster, if anyone is having any problems at all just use the chaoszero full install, i did have to swap the wlan.prx for 2.60 with the one from 2.50 to get the net to work on 2.60 though.
Ha HA HA. I can now play splinter cell on my 1.5 psp now lol. Sony try to stop us you losers lol. 1.5 is on top again!
LONG LIVE THE PSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hell yeah!!! thanks to booster for the release and chaoszero for the package
on chaoszero’s full install, he has a custom gameboot pmf, is this custom made or ripped from some anime UMD?
could a pmf encoder be floating around?
I can’t wait to get it for 2.6 firmware. In the meantime, I just got 1.5 and load .42b, should’ve waited 24 hours.lol. Anyone who can’t work this one. Just get Chaoszero’s full package for .42. Or wait to have the .43 package set-up. I love being able to use the browser!!!
yahoomessenger or email at prominator1
ill help you if you have problems
Thanks to Devhook Dev’s, Dark_AleX and Chaos Zero!
I just booted MLB the Show in 1.5!
-Mikebeuler
can any one tell me wher to get isos
thanks alot guys. now i can play outrun cost to cost 2006
i believe the customgameboot is from the naruto (or some such ninja anime show)
OMG! Ican finally play Daxter!!! DevHook F*ING Rules!!!
The Only one i got to run was chaos zero version but its full of garbage for our litttle memory cards ill wait for the one that gets the 2.7 frim
mission you are a fool
I usually don’t post I just read alot for the information I need But I must say that thia release is a beautiful thing.Thanks to all who put in there valueable time to make this possible for the rest of US.
This is freakn’ amazing!….i don’t have ne 2.6 games, but i will soon with this workin’ it’s magic!
BTW: I know ppl have tested Daxter with succession….but what about the DBZ game? Will that work with this?
UH Wtf I could play Daxter already what the hell since when did Daxter need 2.6? I ran it off DaxZiso in fact i’ve beaten the game.
I think he was referring to playing the Daxter UMD and not an ISO rip. I was unable to play my Daxter UMD until this devhook 043. However I really didn’t try to hard to get it to work.
Is thier a way to reboot fw1.5 using devhook. This way we can try out new homebrew without worrying about bricking our psp.
If someone got this to work or got the dumped files for 1.5, please email it to me at lilkoolaznboy89@yahoo.com
yea i got had daxter and DBZ running long before now so they already worked before this lovely thing came out
Hi, first off all. big thanks to all who made this programs possible.
Been using it to load all my games, ISO, UMDs no prob.
I think it even fixed the wifi problem running at 333.
Theres one thing though, does the “DevHook VSHEX 1.50 Return Mod” compatible with this?.. anyone tried it. ? Ive tried but it doesnt work.. or i did anything worng?..
Because it really makes life abit easier to reset back to 1.5.
Thanks
and to think,it took you guys 3 days later to post this!
Outrun and Teken work with this ,in case u guys were wonderin’….and yes ur not buggin’out Ttekken(jap.version)
404. » WHERE CAN I GET LOCO LOCO EBOOT?
WHERE CAN I GET LOCO LOCO EBOOT?
AND IS THERE A WAY TO RUN IT ON 2.6 tru dev hook .43
OR “2.7 ONLY
anyone get the HOME + SQUARE to reset to fw 1.5 working on this v0.43 devhook?? i cant seem to get it to work…but im guessing its cause it was for the fw 2.5 emulator?
instead of trying to get the home + square mod to work, do the following:
- Press home and move over to yes
- Hold L, R and the up arrow and press X
You should then go directly back to your real firmware.
Yeah, thats the only thing missing. But I’m sure that one will come out. Having to restart to get back to 1.5 sucks. I might just keep 2.5 firmware until one comes out.
The anime pics are from Bleach.
I think most of the world are on a Naruto Boycott untill they stop showing those damn crappy fillers.
I mean more than a year of them…come on!
KK
There will be a new pack uploaded in the thread cleaned of any crap
I have tried a number of Devhook versions and have had no luck loading isos with it. none at all wich sucks. i have managed to reboot using it so i can load GTA UMD which required firmware 2.00 but no isos? all the readme files are not in english and do not seem to be in anyother language either!. I have used DAXZISo program and can load isos but not UMDs. can anyone help.
i just want to try and use one program
thanks in advance
If anyone is having trouble with devhook, make sure you format your memoery card before you put the files on to it. This did the trick for me. Also use this version.
http://rapidshare.de/files/25489466/DevHook_v0.43_Complete.rar
I have used the PRXDecrypter for 2.60 and now have two folders containing the firmware dump, F0 and FD. How do I properly install dumped v2.60 firmware so that it is usable with Devhook? I have tried everything I can think of and nothing works. All Devhook does when I tell it to start is go to a black screen.
The fw installer included with the latest devhook fix will extract all the files needed from the 2.6 data.psar except for the reboot.bin. you’ll need to get that from the PRXDecrypter dump which should be in the FD folder.
Well, all is good, very very good, but ….
…but, what with be the SONY’s reaction?????
This run, new firmware for new games, is for now positive to us, but i am afraid, the upcomming version 3 of psp firmware, is gonna be very-very hard….
i dont thing we will have new playable games after 6 or 8 months…
i think the only way to avoid this (bad for us, good for Sony..) feature is a whole new project, maybe with all the good programmers(booster, dark alex, fanjita, and so many others…)
Works great and had not 1 crash or lock up so far. Outrun 2006 works with no changes made and so do a heap of other stuff. Excellent work
Great Work dude!
It works perfect and all games run now!
Nice one.
Keep on good work!
Of course this is fantasic work once again and umd games that come out with 2.60 will be copied and played as is(untouched). I dont know if sony will put 2.71 firmware on their games which will do no good with the recent decryption of 2.71 firmware are will they soon be putting 3.0 firmware. Well all I know is we never thought that a 2.6 downgrader would be possible we never thought we would be running all of the 2.6 games nor did we think we would run 2.5 and 2.6 emulation. So sure it might take awhile to crack the new firmware but theres an old sane if man can make it man can crack it.
Chaos Zero’s stripped down pack works for me but on my own try of installing it fresh from BOOSTER I still can’t get the 2.60 firmware to install correctly. At the end I get a couple errors:
*(0×10 bytes left at end of file)
*ms0:/dh/260/flash0/kd/loadexec.prx:could not be decrypted
Cant get Daxter to run on mine, the firmware sees it in the games menu but it comes up with an error message when I try to run it.
fistikuffs STFU
@Bababa

“instead of trying to get the home + square mod to work, do the following:

wow .. this works.. thanks
you need to reformat your ms people and it works just fine. to the people that says this sucks just sell your psp now becuse you have no clue. this is by far the best loader program ever to come out on the psp all games work and no changing out prx files. if your games arent working they probley were changed to run on a differnt loader get untouched iso dumps. THANKS TO THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THIS KICK ASS PROGRAM.
This is a great app and it just keeps getting better and better. One thing though, the square+home hack to return to the 1.5fw doesnt seem to be working for me. Does anyone knows if the PRX for this hack was included in the Full Installation? or do we have to add it as we did in 0.42?
Well I think this latest Devhook is the greatest homebrew so far and its getting better all the time. Talkman with the usb mic is now working!!!!. Thanks booster. Looking forward for the next release with 2.71!
i think it doent work yet.. just use this instead
“instead of trying to get the home + square mod to work, do the following:

Version 0.43 needs a fix for saving gams, it currupts game saves.
Just giving some feedback about this great release.
Hey sup guyz does anyone knows how 2 install this new
devhook, im not a newb about this but im not really familliar with this new 1. thanx
oooh and one more thing i have a psp 2.60 and i just cant figure out were the folders go and im leaving for US in 2 days 4 a month if i cant figure this out den it would be boringly suck, if anyone can help me that would be great.
HELP HELP PLEASE where can i download iso’s
iso and warez are not shared or talked about where to get the on PSP-Hacks.
Devhook should implement a measure that requires you to have the UMD of the ISO in the PSP or at least maybe requires you to have at least put it in the PSP once for verification or even download a certain file from the UMD for even more antiwarez measures. Anyways…
Is the Devhook 0.43 firmware installer able to install 2.60 firmware from a data.psar taken from the 2.60 US update eboot? I have not been able to do so successfully. Are you only able to update from a UMD that has 2.60 on it?
Can someone help me. I cant get 2.6 to boot I am using a 2.0 umd on a 1.5. Does the umd need to req 2.6?
Thanks to all the people who sent me sites on where to get a gta lcs iso, i have one but devhook wont load it. i Need HELP!!!!
“instead of trying to get the home + square mod to work, do the following:
- Press home and move over to yes
- Hold L, R and the up arrow and press X

can anyone confirm that this works? how did anyone even know to do this to make it go back to fw 1.5
Sweet. You devs rock. (Type from psp)
the RSS feed not seems to be working.
u dun have to confirm.. just try it at ur psp..

PLEASE if anyone knows where i can download any iso’s please tell me my mail is psp1001210@yahoo.com
Uhhh…ya fliprod18…….u say u have a 2.6 PSP…..this is ment for 1.5 PSP’s to emulate the 2.6FW…..so this is not for u unless u downgrade……..
hi i am kinda new to installing the 2.6 emulator on my psp that is a 1.5, where do i put the files that it came with, and what eles is needed, can i have a step by step how to do please. thank u
great job just hope booster’s next release works on 1.00
Jap 1.5 + jap 1.5fw (psp1000) usually runs devhook well. DH 0.43 has corrupted mem stik twice running 2.6. all else fine. maybe emulation problem?
booster u r the man! outrun working and rss feeds. COME ON!!!
For those having trouble with the screen going black, you need to hit the ‘O’ button as soon as the menu appears the first time you use it.
Otherwise it tries to auto start and crashes I think.
Can someone please tell me what they mean by “hit Home and move over to Yes” means? I’m trying to reset my PSP back to 1.5 without shutting it down, but I don’t see the “yes” option. All I have (when I hit home and use L/R to scroll over) are the list of my CSOs. Where exactly do I find the “yes” option and when exactly do I hit L+R+UP+X???
its when you’re actually playing a game and when you want to quit and go back to 1.5 you hold L+R+UP and press x on the yes option
For ppl who have been having trouble using the RSS function on the PSP with the emulated 2.6FW here’s wut u do:
If have already attempted:
1)go into the ‘SYSTEM’ folder (inside the ‘PSP’ folder)
2)change the name of the folder named ‘RSSCH’ (cause it won’t let u delete it if u already tried to use it.
3)make ur own folder named ‘RSSCH’
4)use the test one and enjoy
If u haven’t tried the RSS yet:
1)go into the ‘SYSTEM’ folder (inside the ‘PSP’ folder)
2)make a folder named ‘RSSCH’
3)use the test one and enjoy
Hope that helped anyone who wanted to use the RSS Channels with this app. :)
