DevHook v0.44 Friendly Install Packs

greg | July 14, 2006

Courtesy of ChaosZero; here is the complete user-friendly DevHook v0.44 Ultimate Installer.

  1. Download DevHook v0.44 Installer (below)
  2. Connect your PSP to your PC via USB - if you’re using Mac OS X (on an Intel) I recommend Parallels (works flawlessly!)
  3. Launch the executable you downloaded in Step 1
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions… wait until completed
  5. Safely unmount (disconnect) your PSP
  6. Browse to the “Game” -> “Memory Stick” menu on your PSP
  7. 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.

(click to enlarge)DevHook Ultimate Installer Screenshot

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.

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.

whats the difference between this one and the other devhook 0.44 is this one just cus it got a automatic installer??

 
Comment by Jay
2006-07-14 14:53:52

0.44 is different mainly because it contains fw. 2.71 emulation, i think.

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.

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.

 
Comment by Cuppa
2006-07-14 17:30:51

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

 
Comment by ChaosZero
2006-07-14 17:34:24

As a quick note, the next version I release will have the option to install the Stripped Version first, then add the customization :P

 
Comment by DantheMan
2006-07-14 17:39:25

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?

Comment by DanThaMan1275
2006-07-16 08:04:09

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.

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.

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.

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.
