DevHook v0.45 Released!

greg | July 20, 2006

The man with the master plan, BOOSTER, has again released an earth-shattering version of Device Hook Sample Launcher! v0.45 includes the ability to launch homebrew off the memory stick while emulating 2.XX firmware - this simply means you no longer have to reboot back to 1.50 in order to fire up another EBOOT. In addition to that convenient feature, this new version also includes bug fixes and other technical updates to improve stability and performance.

ChaosZero has compiled a wonderful in-depth tutorial on how to install/configure and use DevHook - read that here. Also from ChaosZero is v0.45 packaged into a handy easy-to-use installer, appropriately named “DevHook Ultimate Installer.”

Download: DevHook v0.45 (manual install)

Uhm, this build dosent actully allow booting games from 2.71…

it includes tools that will let you build eboots that will.

Just a bit of a miscommunication, thats all.

So if I have Devhook 0.44 already installed, I can just replace the eboot’s from 0.45 and it’ll be fully functional? Don’t have to do anything with the ‘dh’ folder?

2006-07-20 16:23:15

@C.Ronaldo,

I thought we already could do custom 2.7 FW since 0.44?

@Jordan

The 2.xx homebrew is POC, so we need to convert our homebrew in order to make them work for emulated 2.xx. After being converted, you can launch it off the emulated 2.xx but I believe it also makes the homebrew unuseable on the 1.50 XMB

Why is this file (usbhostfs_pc.exe) Opening 3+ times in the Task Manager? Why is this file taking up 75% to 100% of the CPU Uasge When the USB is not running? Why is this file acting as a server to the net and taking up my bandwidth when it’s a USB connection? Why doesn’t this file close when the PSPUsbLink.exe is closed? I Like the idea of hosting ISO’s on the pc but when it comes to trojan action files, The files gets deleted and shredded. So using the USB to run ISo’s are out of the question.

Comment by greymax
2006-07-20 17:48:11

Correct me if I’m wrong, but won’t using this in conjunction with the Dual-Boot custom firmware allow you to boot straight to 2.7(emulated) and run homebrew(after they’ve been converted of course). So does the modchip have any advantage at all over 1.5 users any more?

How the hell do you run homebrew on 2.7? This is worse then 0.44 and the ultimate installer doesn’t help a bit, just takes out the cool loading of 2.71 and gives a really gay background, at least this still runs ISOs fine but I’d really like a 0.45 specific guide, not one that’s 0.44 but has an updated link.

 
Comment by JaveLiner
2006-07-20 19:06:18

Guys, isn’t it a cusom firmware of some kind? I mean, normal 1.5 with 2.7 functionality.

The only thing left to do is to flash this FW into PSP for good with the ability to unflash/upgrade to another CFW.

 
Comment by steve
2006-07-20 19:10:46

So can people with firmware 2.5+ run this software? Or is it still meant for people with 1.5 or lower? (or 2.0 with downgrader, whatever)

 
Comment by ...shadow...
2006-07-20 19:25:44

@CHAOS

…that’s kinda the whole point of using DevHook…

@CYBERVORTEX

The homebrew that came with it is a POC, you need to convert homebrews to run specifically for emulated 2.xx

@STEVE

It’s almost practically useless for anyone with 2.5+ to use this, ALMOST…and no it’s only for 1.50

Ok, cadaber, heres a non-stupid question…..how in hell do u run homebrew on the 2.71 emulation? I don’t know and since u seem to know evrything about devhook, i’m asking u…….

and yes, i know that we have to convert it…..but, how do u convert it?……..just a simple question that everyone is asking in different ways that makes it harder to answer……

 
Comment by Squidman
2006-07-20 20:32:26

As for the ppl who r asking how to run wifi/web browser on 2.71, the fix hasn’t been released/created yet for wifi use on 333MHz (fastest CPU speed), so set it to 222MHz (default CPU speed), then once it’s connected to the network (after u get a page loaded) u can hit HOME+SELECT to change the CPU speed, then the wifi will be working on highest CPU speed giving u the best performance possible :)

but please remember that u must do this everytime u connect to a network.

for major n00bs: u’ll know it has connected to the network when the page loads on the web browser.

as a side note, the CPU speed also applies to the creating of a connection and scanning for available networks.

2006-07-20 23:18:14

Sony is sucks: did u check the system settings to make sure if it’s on 2.71? If not, i don’t know wut to tell ya….

outlander83: did u get ur memorystick from ebay? if u did, it maybe fake. If not, and ur trying to run 2.71, check the folders on the memorystick. I meen go into the ‘dh’ folder then go into the folder labled 271, if there’s wierd folders with names that r squares, and random symbols, then the file is corrupt, and u need to run diskcheck to delete it and then reinstall it

Comment by Ace
2006-07-20 23:54:49

I think that in order to make homebrew work with emulation of fw 2.7 it needs to be 1.0 eboot compatible. Correct me if I am wrong as I surely believe so. Give it a try.

@ Squidman

i never claimed to know everything about devhook, but to answer your question the package from chaos zero has a convertion tool (from what i understand)

and for my record my previous comment was directed to people who ask the same stupid questions over and over when the answer is right there in the original post or in the read me and thats why i say learn to read, the majority of questions would be answered if the asker would just read the original post

Even though it says you can boot homebrew in the XMB, I can’t boot homebrew in 2.6 or 2.71 or any of the firmwares. I get the “corrupt data” error.
