DevHook v0.46 Ultimate Installer

Posted by greg

Update: Chaos Zero has updated his Ultimate Installer to v1.1.1 - this includes a minor fix which corrects WiFi while running at 333MHz. The download link below has been updated to reflect v1.1.1.

The standalone fix can also be found in the forum thread.


The easiest way to install DevHook - no questions asked! Connect your PSP via USB, download the Windows executable below - run it, select your options & install! In mere minutes you’ll be ready to emulate FW 2.XX!

ChaosZero’s Ultimate Installer includes some additional goodies:

  • Install Default DevHook 0.46 with 2.71 Firmware
  • Add Bleach Custom Pack - 0.46 version
  • Add Naruto Custom Pack - 0.46 version
  • Return DevHook to Stock
  • Install 2.60 Firmware for DevHook
  • Install Mod Pack (USB/Screnshot/No Autorun) - 0.44/0.45/0.46 version
  • Install JAP Reg .ZIP for Manual install (Swapped X and O)
  • Install CISO Tools
  • Install X5 Web Portal
  • Install DevHook 0.46 Update

And of course if you run into problems along the way you can always resort to ChaosZero’s DevHook tutorial.

Download: Ultimate Installer v1.1.1

    Finally, 2.80 emulation from memory stick.

    Off topic

    Stating post number is very uncool and gay.

    Ah shite. So it doesn’t emulate 2.80? Shite. I’ll check after this download finishes.

    @sdfdf
    The main difference is that its possible to write DH 0.46 to flash0, giving you the option to start it from the psp’s flash instead of running it of the MemoryStick. Should save battery juice and speed up some games.

    sorry, that was my fault - it’s not actually a zip archive. If you have already downloaded it - just rename the .zip extension to .exe and it’ll work. I’ve corrected the file on the server now.

    2006-07-29 16:56:27

    This is just an app on ur computer that installs DevHook on ur PSP automatically, not new news for ppl who know how to install it, but extremly good for ppl who are still having trouble installing it.

    @123- installing to flash is an option.
    And only select files will get copied to flash.
    Gor more information, visit the thread and read the DevHook Flashing Tutorial, located right under the ISO and UMD tutorials.

    axelS, you can stuff your 2.71 upgraded psp into some hole until anyone finds a way to get it back. Cause it’s wise to think first, than do things. Any FW above 2.60 is unable to run homebrew apps as of yet.

    Muyfa,

    Use PBP Unpacker to remove the AT3 file from the eboot

    Extract the EBOOT from your devhook
    %__SCE__DH_ENG folder

    You will see the PARAM.SFO,
    icon0.png , PIC1.PNG and a SND0.AT3 file

    Just remove the SND0.AT3 file (The sound File) ,

    And repack the EBOOT without it.

    Why don’t you guys release a devhook installer just with.. nothing! No themes, no packs! Just devhook + usb mods+no autorun ??

    Will it be dangerous to flash with Devhook 0.46 if I already have used X-Flash and Harleyg custom firmware? I read at PSP updates that it would be…

    Would be really nice to hear some opinions on this, as Devhook begun to lag after I changed from Sandisk to Sony mem stick.

    Hello all. I have few problems if anyone is kind to help me out. I just got my PSP 2.71 and I want to install Devhook 0.46.

    I tryed Ultimate installer 0.46, putted my memory stick into my notebook, installed devhook 0.46 on it, removed memory stick, putted it into PSP and tryed to run devhook that I see under Game and nothing, I get always this error: This game cannot be started. The data is corrupted.

    Anyone knows what I did wrong, any clues what to do to get it working. I would really apreciate some help.

    Thanks in advance.

    ^

    You need kernel mode access. v2.71 does not have that. Only fw v1.50 does. If you had, say a fw prior to v2.70 (1.00-2.6/compatible motherboard) you could attempt a downgrade to fw v1.5. Sorry, but you simply cannot use this, dude.

    2006-07-30 17:19:01

    Oh oh I see hehe stupid me. So if I understand right. If I have FW2.71 I can not run devhook and run .iso files. Will that be possible soon? Is there any avaible downgraders from 2.71 to 1.50?

    Thanks again I apreciate it.

    2006-07-30 17:55:11

    Sorry mate, afaik there is no way to downgrade, neither should you hold your breath about a fix I think. I returned my first 2.71 PSP as it couldn’t run any homebrew.

    Comment by dipswitch
    2006-07-30 20:33:34

    I compress mine to cso. I think you have to use a different loader than devhook to run dax compressed files. But I’m not positive as I’ve never tried it. Compression level 9 is the highest compression rate for cso files. I think dax compression is a little smaller but not much.

     
    Comment by @lexiS
    2006-07-30 20:38:39

    I flashed the settings and stuff on the psp and i can assure u, it works like a charm.
    I use harleyg’s custom fw and a number of other mods, all of which didnt affect the flash to the least.
    Just keep that AC plug on and theres nothing to fear.
    ps. u get increased speed almost everywhere + u keep ur settings always with u.

    Comment by @lexiS
    2006-07-30 21:05:56

    @vicecity.
    Devhook is a fw emulator. It allows u to load a fw right off ur mem stick without writing on ur psps internal memory where the actual fw is installed. ie u can load 2.71 on 1.5 psp. This lets u play new games and use stuff like the internet browser not available in 1.5

     
    Comment by @lexiS
    2006-07-30 21:13:50

    I cant get 2.6 to work with the auto-installer. I installed 4.6 first and then went back and installed 2.6 firmware for it too, but when i try to boot up as 2.6 it freezes and the psp shuts off. But 2.7 still works fine.

    @ gatley

    as long as you dont have ta-082 or whatver it is mother board or ic60061 on the inside it should work fine, if you had a factory 2.6 psp it will work because my psp was a 2.6 facotry and now im on 1.5 but its up to you if you want to take the risk of bricking to downgrade your psp i did and its great!

    I just installed DevHook 0.46 and flashed the files to the internal memory(I used the ChaosZero’s tut just to be safe) and it worked perfectly. The internet and games seem to really load faster. Cool

    Also, robs1968, Thanks for the thing about removing the sound file, I had the program but never even thought about it. Even icons are simple to change.

    Yay!

    Thanks for the help, went research on how to downgrade. Have checked that mine is not ta-082 and my factory FW is 2.5. But i need to have old version of gta in order to downgrade. Think it’s hard to get it in singapore…
