DevHook v0.44 Friendly Install Packs
greg | July 14, 2006
Courtesy of ChaosZero; here is the complete user-friendly DevHook v0.44 Ultimate Installer.
- Download DevHook v0.44 Installer (below)
- Connect your PSP to your PC via USB – if you’re using Mac OS X (on an Intel) I recommend Parallels (works flawlessly!)
- Launch the executable you downloaded in Step 1
- Follow the on-screen instructions… wait until completed
- Safely unmount (disconnect) your PSP
- Browse to the “Game” -> “Memory Stick” menu on your PSP
- Launch DevHook v0.44
The Ultimate installer includes additional options & goodies: DevHook 0.44 Custom with 2.71 Firmware, Remove DevHook 0.44 Customization, Re-Apply DevHook 0.44 Customization, Install 2.60 Firmware for DevHook, Install 2.50 Firmware for DevHook, Install CISO Tools, Install X5 Web Portal, Install Alternate DevHook Icons by Brok3n, Install JAP 2.71 Reg for Swapped X and O buttons.
Secondly there’s a “stripped” down version which doesn’t include all the fancy stuff. Simply extract the ZIP contents to your memory stick (MS) replacing all the existing files, and that’s it!
Both of the available packages include WMA playback and Flash support enabled by default – no mods necessary!
Of course for a more in-depth look at how to get these configured/running, read ChaosZero’s DevHook v0.44 Fully Setup thread.
Update: CZ has added an experimental 333MHz fix to the Ultimate installer. Fetch a new copy below.

1st! Thanks man!
chaos zero .. better get some rest. chill. good job~
haha, yea, he gotta rest. lol
nice one man! this guy is amazing
Link doesnt work v_v
Very cool Chaos Zero! Great job! DevHook with updates are probably going to come soon, so this will have to be updated. Especially since DevHook 2.71 emulation is buggy.
In addition, may you also include an option to install a regular DevHook 0.44 with WiFi and Save fix and the official Sony firmware with no custom fonts, backgrounds, sounds, game boot screens, etc.? I like to try both to see which is best. “POLSKY” on “http://www.psp-hacks.com/2006/07/13/devhook-v044-released-with-271-fw-emulation/#comments” also wanted an uncustomized version.
get a good server to doenload from i can’t download it it is so slow.
does it work with 2.5 firmware ?
Do i install all the options on the oicture or just the top 1
Great work, to bad i can’t get the link to work to download it.
the stripped down version link worked fine for me.
whats the difference between this one and the other devhook 0.44 is this one just cus it got a automatic installer??
0.44 is different mainly because it contains fw. 2.71 emulation, i think.
I still think the older, older version(s) are better. these ones seem so much more buggy
Chaos, this is actually pretty cool what you did here, with the splash screen and all. Creative. Kudos.
Ok Guys! lets connect those USB again.LOL! nice work guys!
The Ultimate Setup download link is broken does not work!
the link does work i used it press refresh
FINALY!
Sounds nice but like a few ppl have said the link for the ultimate installer is’nt working, been this way all morning, any other sources to get it from ?
Cheers,
Vega…..

link for ultimate installer worked for me! many thanks chaos, ive been waiting for you before i installed this. I know usb mode isint enabled in this version but could someone let me know how it works in the older versions? Thanks again chaos.
Will wait for the Debugged out version to be released. 0.43 works fine, Bug free as far as I noticed. 2.71 Emu you can’t even use the settings with out it sticking to the error correction press O.
I dont know what you are all complaining about, the umulation is just fine!
for it it works with no bugs, all the games and features work just great!
Thank you Booster!
The links isnt working…please give the correct link
I downgrade… and im reaady to install it, but the link is not working…
please post the correct link
can someone please include an idiots guide on how to use this.
I have downgraded to 1.5 from 2.6 firmware, and have installed several loaders but the only 1 i can get to work is daxziso, everything else just returns to the system 1.5 menu.
Hey, I was wondering, as I’m sure there is, if there’s a way to play backed up ISOs from the emulated version of 2.71? as I can’t figure out how to do it
As a quick note, the next version I release will have the option to install the Stripped Version first, then add the customization :P
Firstly in answer to Cuppa’s question, yes it will play ISOs. Just press ‘O’ when it loads, and click on “UMD Select” to switch between UMD Disc, and the various ISOs.
Now I’ve got a question. The above seems to work for newer games, but some older games (Namco Museum etc) don’t seem to work even if the UMD Ver is set to “No change”.
I know I can just use Fastloader, but I don’t see the logic as to why it doesn’t work.
Any ideas?
P.S. Thanks ChaosZero. I’d have never sussed this out without your help.
Cheers mate, thanks a lot.. also though, where do I place the ISO file?
Couldn’t get Ultimate Installer Link to work with IE7. Used a different web browser & worked ok.
Does this work with 4gb hard drive?
I downgrade my psp from 2.5 to 1.5 and I dont know anything about devhook and how run it can someone help me I am desperate
ChaosZero – YOU ARE THE MAN!
Many millions of thanks from everyone who has found contentment by just trying your software. You are a genius, and just to let you know that the hard work which you have put in to developing this amazing piece of software has not gone without due respect and appreciation.
A quick note for noobies, don’t be afraid – follow the instructions for 2.6 – 1.5 downgrader then install this baby following the instructions.
Cheers, man.
wattster.
This is amazing!!! keep up the good work
I found beter to seate and code something for devhook so found new things!!!

Im havin the same prob, do u still need a umd disk in it to load the iso?
man why dosent games work 4 this i mean like udms
gta still dont work 4 this why can sombody help me
ok i have it running 2.71 now i tryed in 333 and 222mhz modes but i cant get rss to work or to save videos on my psp it says for saving a video “memory stick full” when it has 430meg free and on the rss its a code of some sort when tryed to add a rss audio feed which i know works on non devhook psp
DevHook rocks! but not as much as 1.5, if it wasnt for 1.5 this wouldnt be possible. I a little pissed tho because u guys should have released this in a few months time after some sweeter games came out, e.g. Vice City Stories or GT4 Mobile, coz now Sony will release another firmware update that we wont be able to emulate, which will be required to play these new games. This means for some of us who dont wanna pay for another PSP system that we will have to live without – no big deal but still. I never thought it possible to emulate firmware! what a good idea from the creator of DH, keep it up.
Go,go,go, all here!
i have tried several versions of devhook…..this shit does not work.
downgraded from 2.6 to 1.5 installed as per instructions tried to load a game that is supposed to work with devhook….guess what? FUCK ALL!!!!!!!
The tutorials aren’t worth the paper they’re written on either, better off using UMDEMULATOR or DAXZISO becuse this sucks.
If anyone would like to offer an explanation on how they get this shit to work I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who would appreciate it
Hey! This is pretty awsome :P I’v got a few .iso files and some work and some dont. Is there an option that i have to change to get some games to work? Like, Megaman powered up works great! but I can’t get Megaman Maverik Hunter X or Metal Gear Acid to work :/ What can I do to get them to work? I’m running 1.5 but I have DevHook upgrade to 2.71 so I can run newer .iso files if that counts for anything.
sorry, I thats MGA2 :P
to “iain1965″
read the fuckin page.. everyones working or at least 80% .. i guess ur brain capacity is only less than 0.0000000000001.. percent..
Sincere apologies to the developers, DEVHOOK 0.44 does work, I have now realised the error of my ways and am selecting START from the top of the menu after changing the settings instead of EXIT from the bottom of the menu.
Just a thought though, how about putting START at the bottom, it seems a natural progression once you have worked down the list of settings, to have START as the next option.
Thanks Chaos you are the man this works GREAT, im loving Miami Vice :D !!!
Man, the 2.71 emulation is buggy. When loading I keep getting the “settings are corrupt” screen with 8 languages on it. I’m sure this will be fixed soon anyways. 2.6 plays whatever games I need to run anyways. Love Devhook!
hello people i downloaded dev hook but when i put a umd in it frezzes can any help love to know why this is happing
hey can this use dax instead of iso
I will probably get flamed for asking this question but, once I have already installed the 2.5 emulator on my 1.5 firmware PSP, is it still possible for me to install the 2.71 firmware emulator somehow?
If it is then could somebody please be so kind enough to post a link to a tutorial that might help me out how to switch from 2.5 emulation to 2.71 emulation.
All credit goes out to these guys, I’ve just recently downgraded from 2.60 to 1.50 thanks to some genuis called Dark Alex, took me some time to have the balls to do it (scared I would brick my little beauty). Anyway thanks to these guys I can have the best of both worlds, Homebrew accessed straight from the PSP menu and 2.71 firmware!
Devhook 44 works for most of my games, and I’ve found it easy to use.
:D
hello, props to every1 who made devhook, its very kewl, its nice to actually be able to play real psp games on my 1.5, but recently there is a problem i cant solve, i cant seem to save my games. i mean i used to be able to do it for a few days, but just yesterday, i am unable to save my game at all. and the save games i did have have disappeared, is there neway to fix this? thanks in advance
