HEN Rev. B and DevHook Launcher for 2.71!

Posted by greg

Update: HEN Revision B is now supporting an alternative binary loader. If you’ve experienced problems with your PSP freezing or not writing the desired files to flash, try this one.

  • Revision B with better binary loader in the tiff (25 september)
    • Changed the binary loader to use the one from tiffsdk 1.1 that has better stability.
    • No changes on the core.

Download below.


Holy Revision B Batman! A new version of the Homebrew Enabler, a DevHook Launcher port, all for firmware 2.71?! This sounds like the work of Sony super villain, Dark_AleX!

Very cool stuff actually. Now users with FW 2.71 are able to utilize DevHook and emulate firmware 1.50. HEN Revision B is installed in the same manner as the initial release; however, if you have previously installed Rev. A you should follow these basic instructions:

To update from HEN revision A to B, hard reset your psp (to make sure that hen is not running).
Then copy the new files to the memory stick and run the tif. The new files will be automatically updated.

Once you’re ready to rock at Rev. B you may proceed with the ported DevHook launcher:

  • You need Homebrew Enabler for 2.71 revision B (minimum) to run this port.
  • Get the files to emulate firmwares yourself. (see below)
  • Run the pbp with the title “Devhook 0.4X launcher for 2.71″. The 1.50 launcher is also included because in the emulated 1.50 you can launch it.

DevHook v0.45 is included with the ported Launcher RAR package, unfortunately v0.46 has some issues when it comes to emulating firmware 1.50. Please ensure you read over both ‘readme’ files before proceeding and asking questions.

Have fun TA-082ers. :)

    #4 it’s mainly for users with the Ta-082 psp’s .. you can’t downgrade a Ta-082…

    2006-09-24 14:40:33

    Ok, I’m a noob here, but I thought that there were no downgraders for TA-O82 mobos? For those of us who were unfortunate enough to buy one of these PSPs, is this the software that we’ve been waiting for? Will this allow us to play homebrew *and* launch ISOs? Please, tell me its so!

     
    Comment by Justin
    2006-09-24 14:44:49

    yes it is.. the PSP will emulate Fw 1.50 and now you can run homebrew, Launch Iso’s…. FW 1.50 RoCKS!!1

    will this work with 2.6 ta-082 or do i have to upgrade to 2.71?

     
    Comment by Captain Primate
    2006-09-24 14:47:46

    So, correct me if I’m wrong (apologies for the noon-ness)…this *emulates* a downgraded PSP (FW 1.5) opposed to actually downgrading it (which is currently impossile with TA-082s)…right?

     
    Comment by Justin
    2006-09-24 14:49:03

    Upgrade it says ” users with FW 2.71 are able to utilize DevHook and emulate firmware 1.50 ”
    so i would update and do what the instructions say to do

    #9, downgrading has a chance of bricking your PSP. This has none. Pie.

    i allready got 1.5 but this is so good doesnt matter if u have 1.5 ore 2.71 anymore its just what fw u want 2 startwhit and what fw u want 2 emulate if i shudent have a 1.5 i would use this 2 emulate 1.5 i mean its no diff its just what u want 2 emulate

    This is a big step 4 all TA-082:s and other 2.71:ers that dont want 2 take the risk whit downgrading i allready half briked my psp once so if i sometime gonna need 2 upgrade 2 2.71 (like if i half birck it agin) i will use this

    I have a TA-082 with fw 2.6
    I upgraded to 2.71 and then loaded HEN multiple times, it finally worked!! Now i can run ISO’s and kick ass homebrew. Great job to everyone who helped. I think the only thing that’d help would be if they made either a more sucessful HEN (like a 75-90% chance of it loading) or a HEN that is permanent…

    @70

    Not to be rude but there are readme files with the devhook, you really should read them sometime, But since your lazy put the stuff in the MSROOT folder in guess what thats right the msroot, which is the first thing when you open the folder with the psp. Go ahead and throw src there as well.

    This TA-82er is not having very much fun :( It takes me about 20 tries just to get Hen to show the blue screen, and finally when it does, it gives me the blue screen, and then shuts off the psp instead of restarting the xmb. I got the green screen the very first time I ran it, and it did the same thing, didn’t restart the xmb. Any body have any suggestions?

    @RICANPAPI_16
    The “the game could not be started”(80020148) is suppose to be there and to trick the kernel system or something.(not quite sure how to say it.)

    It seems like u have successfully launch the progam, can u teach me?

    Hi, I am one of those newbs who wasnt very sure how to operate this either.

    My psp is TA-082 2.6==>2.71

    To what i understand i have to:

    1) Install HEN B — Check
    2) Copy DevHook port launcher to psp — Check
    3) Copy FW 1.50 dumper to the dh/150 file –Check
    4) Start Devhook Launcher 4.X — Check

    …..and now i m stuck. I tried emulating 1.50 but it just shuts down and reset. Then i have to repeat 1-4 again.

    Am i missing something.

    @78 Ok well try this. Turn on your psp at the menu pull the battery then the memstick leave the memstick out wait 20 sec put the battery back
    turn on the psp go to Fhoto put the memstick back
    and then try it.
    it may take a couple couple trys but this is the only way it works for me

    2006-09-24 20:54:57

    It says in the Readme that the tiff is very unstable and that Dark_Alex may try to stabilize it. Here’s to hoping he does.

    I also can’t get this update working. I had the first HEN running fine, then I did the update mode and it freezes everytime I enter into the HEN folder on my PSP. If I try the pulling out the battery technique, it still freezes at the same part.

    Oh well, I can wait until a more stable version of the tiff is out.

    @87 put your iso in the iso folder at ms_root
    then in devhook select umd and then start

    I agree that having the homebrew is worth it, but not if it takes several hundred trys of running the tiff file each time you want to play a homebrew game :p

    if you see the MP_Root then you are in the MS_root meaning you are in the root of MS= memorystick… jus drop what you need there.

    now if only someone would reverse engineer haleyg’s custom firmware so 2.71ers can alternatively emulate 1.5 without having to start devhook manually, just a thought, i have 1.5 with emulated 2.71

    #22 read some of the earlier posts, they do have a downgrader for 2.5 ta-082 but you have to do alot of work to get it done, you use a program it makes files you have to send to someone else (creater of the downgrader) and then he sends you back the files you need and from there it is cake

    ms_root is the base of the memorystick, when you open the memory stick you should see PSP and MP_ROOT, if you see those you are in MS_ROOT

    Hen just seems too unstable…
    The eloader will run up for me every time on my TA-82 2.71, but Hen, like I said before will load up the blue screen about once every 30 tries or so, but even when it gets to the blue screen, the psp turns itself off. Obviously it just isn’t as stable as the eloader, and hopefully if a HenC comes out, that will actually work for me…
