This freaking rox!

Damn that’s Great for users who have TA-082 psp… Great to hear there is Progress.. since my psp is Fw 1.50 … i wont use it.
but have funn ppl….

this is awesome news for 2.7 and 2.71 users! I cant wait to start emulating FW 1.50

this is gay! come on! 2.71 already has a downgrader, eloader, and kernal mode! get something for 2.80! anything! idc what just get it!

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

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!

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?

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?

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

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVuXebRu7TY

and the 2.60.FW NON TA-082′ERS DONT GET ANY STUFF LIKE THIS

That Is Fucken Unexpected Keep up The Good Work.

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

Dark_AleX ftw.

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

GO DARK_ALEX U R THE BEST PSP HACKER ATM there was mph fanjita pspdev and lots more but now its Dark_Alex that rule the psp hacking yeah btw my name is alex 2 yeah i love this not 4 my self but all 2.0-2.71:ers

#12

just upgrade 2 2.71 its easy

man this dude is god himself =P only is this whould work for 2.80 T_T my friend whould be so happy

Can this run Iso games? or only Homebrew?

This is cool, now only if this would work on my 2.8 psp, that would be awesome.

IT can Run ISOs … and Homebrew..

iso 2 evry thing a 1.5 can do can this do isnt it GR8 i got 1.5 but its still gr8

Will this run on a FW2.5 TA-082 psp or do i have to upgrade to 2.7? I don’t want to upgrade!!!! I know if I do they’ll make a FW2.5 downgrader for the TA-082 the next day! Please say it’ll work!

What files from the 1.5 firmware dump do I need to copy? Where do I put them?

yeah, what exactly do we need to do with the firmware dump files? Where do we put them? Which files do we need?

can you write it step by step please?

I would also appreciate a step by step kind of approach – or at least a URL where a step by step approach is located.

NO STAV.
CHECK THE FORUMS PLEASE!
Firmware Dumping is in the downloads area Captain Primate. There are instructions with the files that you dl with the firmware dumper. U put them in the dh folder and u will need all the files that are dumped.

#28
upgrade 2 2.71 first then u can use this whit a ta-082

link 2 fw update (2.71)
http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/525

yabadabadoo – just for the record there are *no* instructions whatsoever wih the downloaded file dumper files (http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/8).

Can i run Iso games?

if you have questions goto the forums and im sure they will answer everything

check out the forums Captain, I spent my firmware dumping homework days there, great resource.

yes u can

u can do everything i can do whit my 1.5 cuz its mulate 1.5 i use this on 1.5 but the other way i use it 2 emulate 2.71 on my 1.5 and this emulate a 1.5 on a 2.71 so if u have this and emulate 1.5 it´s like u have 1.5 and 2.71 on the same psp do u understunder

i keep getting an error message like

“error loading/starting reboot.bin”

something like that

help anyone?

(forums dont help at all)

can’t load the tiff try this take the battery and memstick out wate 10 – 15 sec then put the battery back in start it up then put the memstick in and bang it works

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…

Ok. I have a 2.7. I am currenlty using the new eboot. I got the 2.71 updater. And Put it in a foldeer and put the eboot file in it. I click it all it dose is return to the main screen of 2.7. So help please.

#36 that works for me each time, great idea

the update files shud be here on ur psp mem-stick

J:\PSP\GAME\UPDATE
repalce j whit ur psp´s letter

if there isnt a UPDATE folder make 1

38 what is your question?

@ 41

I have a 2.7 and I use the eboot launcher for it. The one that starts with an Marblizer (w/e). How do I get the updater to 2.71 to work?? Or use it. Cause I want freaking 1.5 :D

what about 2.8 when gone a be something like this……

The updater doesnt need any loader u just put the eboot in urletter:\PSP\GAME\UPDATE the just go 2 the game menu and chose update to 2.71 its that easy dont requ any loder at all cuz its sonys offical eboot update if u want more info how 2 update go 2 http://www.yourpsp.com

So I installed hen b, and the devhook, I put the 1.5 files in dh/150/flash0 and flash1. I bootup devhook tell to emulate 1.50 and then the psp is loading mem for awhile and cuts off. Any ideas?

@45 same for me… some one help

#45 i have the same problem… it has to be problem with dump cuz i got working 2.71 dump and it works with this devh…. lol now i can run 2.71 emulation on my 2.71 psp ;P

Thanks greg

ms0:/dh/150

yaaayyyy!!!!! it works!!!!!! gr8 thx greg :D:D:D its the best day of may life!!!!!!!

For people with 2.8 SHUT THE FUCK UP. You should have never updated that far at the begining you stupid ass holes.

I tried to make it work in ta-082 2.71, but I didn´t got any blue, green screen.. My psp turn off, and nothing happens.. what I could do. Thanks

I got this to work and I was emulating 1.5 untill I turned off my psp. When I turned it back on it was 2.7 again. I tried to load devhook again but it didn’t start. Do I have to run the homebrew emulator every time?

@62

try it a few times. It took me like 5 trys to get it to work for the first time.

Hi i have a 2.6 i noticed there is a 1.50 dump for the US and JP on this website but there doesnt seem to be one for EU.Could anybody tell me if it matters if i use the US dump because im from england.I dont want to update if it wont work.

Sweetness… Got it to work. This is truly a great day for us ta-082 noobs

got the TIFF to run with the green screen.

dumped 150 firmware to dh/150 like greg said

now, where do i place the devlauncher271??

help thanks.

OK i upgraded from 2.7 to 2.71 and installed the Homebrew enabler REV b.. i saw the quick blue to green screen which meens that its all set up right.. then i moved DH files onto PSP and now im stumpted.. its weird launguage on the readme files.. someone that has successfully installed dev h on their 2.71 please message me on aim @ anupat3l or email me at anupat3l@gmail.com with some instructions.. thx loads :)

i have a PSP japan fw 2.5 ta-082.i want to update update to fw 2.71 do i need the US or the JaP update files?please help.

@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.

got all the files and started emulating 1.5! i wanna shit in my pants right now!! woho!!! thx dark_alex.. (taught fanjita wuld du this one first….)

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?

@74 read my post #36
now you help me
where can i get 2.6 and 2.71 dumps

#76,
I’ve already tried that 4 times, it doesn’t help. Could it be my memory card?

@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.

Argh. Stupid dont always work,

@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

so whats supposed to happen when u run hen? i mean when i try it it freezes and then it it shuts off

Still doesn’t seem to help :( Oh well, looks like I upgraded to 2.71 for nothing… Maybe the tiff file will be improved later…

@75 you wil see a blue screen followed by a green one the first time after that just blue each time

@76 DON’T GIVE UP TRYING… It’s worth it

OH and a fresh format and a custem backgroungd helps

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.

where do i put the folder name src at?? HELP

Background….

No Help :(..

Once Again.. OK i upgraded from 2.7 to 2.71 and installed the Homebrew enabler REV b.. i saw the quick blue to green screen which meens that its all set up right.. then i moved DH files onto PSP and now im stumpted.. its weird launguage on the readme files.. someone that has successfully installed dev h on their 2.71 please message me on aim @ anupat3l or email me at anupat3l@gmail.com with some instructions.. thx loads :)

@83 OK xtract devhook to a folder on your comp
look in ms_root and copy the dh and psp folders
to the root of your memsteck click yes to the overwrite now download the 1.50 dump up top
and xtract the flash0 and flash1 to dh\150\
and click yes to the overwrite thats it its done.

now some one help me i need the FW 2.60 and 2.71
dumps

I Give Up.. Since no ones helping me and im doing everything right as #85 states.. my prob is #83

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

My psp always turn off, and I don´t see any green screen.. ta-082-2.71. Thanks

so theres no way of bricking??

omg i almost cummed my pnats after i ra nmy first homebrew on my newly emulated 1.5! this is so freaking sweet!

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

no man make a folder at the root of your memstick
and name it ISO thats where thay go

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

please guys ive tryed everything please help me. someone guide me please.

please tell me if this works with ta82 or not

thanks

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…

Some Questions Answered.

MS_ROOT = The Root Of Ur MEM Stick..
Mine would be
E:/(THIS IS THE ROOT)/PSP/GAME

…

Yes This does work on TA-082 With No Chances Of Bricking..

Thes questions are answered from looking around and actually reading the posts..

Im #83 and i still need help..

Someone who has done this please right us a easy tutorial..

Thx anup

85 – i’m followning your directions but keep getting “The game could not be started 80020148″

COPY THE ISO’S TO ISO FOLDER AT THE BEGENING
OF YOUR MS IF ITS NOT THERE THEN MAKE IT…

so your telling me not one person will be nice enough to write a tutorial on how to do this for all us lost people damn selfish ungreatful bastards

PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU PLEASE HELP DAMN SOME PLEASE

@111 there is two devhooks try the one that reads devhook 0.4x 2.71 if that dosent work make shore
u ran hen-b

@114 is your iso compresd ?

116 – i’m using devhook 0.4x with 2.71

and yes, i ran the HEN-B got the blue screen then green.

@118 IT WAS IN RAR file the i extracted it to ms folder like u said and put it in the iso folder

Ok, here are a couple of things hat I’ve learned from screwing around with HEN/Devhook/FW Dump. This is mainly for the noobs (of which I am one):

(1) I get the TIFF to launch properly about once every five or six tries. My PSP either restarts on its own (after freezing for awhile), it freezes and I have to reboot by pulling the battery, or it actually works (blue scree then restart)

(2) The “the game could not be started”(80020148)” error seems to happen when you don’t have HEN enabled, and you try to launch devhook

(3) ISOs go in a directory (which you create – I called mine “ISO”) in the root of the memory stick. If you simply stick the ISOs in the root, DH won’t see them.

hope this helps some of the screaming noobs out there. My hope is that a new, more stable, TIFF is released – otherwise it really isn’t worth my time.

@119 u have to run hen every time u reset the psp

@121 great

i wil post a quick tut in a sec

ok, I’ve got a question. When I *do* actually get everything to run and load up DH, my PSP restarts every time I try to launch an ISO. I’ve tried the options several differnt ways. First, selecting 1.5 Firmware, then selecting the ISO, and then choosing start. I’ve tried choosing the ISO, then setting the firmware, and then choosing start. All ends up the same way – with my PSP restarting. Anyone have any advice?

124 – thanks

but with the possiblity of running HEN sucesssfully once every 15 tries. I think i’m screwed.

ok heres a question are those three programs the only 3 programs i need if i have never done anything with the memory stick

@130 one more sec

Ok. I am a newbie too but with some reading, I was able to figure out what to do. I had TA-082 with FW2.6

Here are the steps I took:
1) Upgrade your FM to 2.71 if not 2.71 already
2) Install Henb – Copy all MS_ROOT into my PSP Root
3) Copy Everything under MS_ROOT from DV271 into my PSP Root.
4) Launched HenB from Photo. Got the Green & Blue screen(I had to reformatted my memory stick to get this to work). Launched DH0.4x

Here’s the problem. When I press circle to start DH0.4x, my PSP goes black and then shuts off. What did I do wrong?

no one are you still posting the tut

Carlos – Chill – somebody is taking time to do something for you – just be thankful and relax!!!

your right thanks sorry about that

Ok now listen turn on your psp back up ur MS
now format it

in a folder on ur comp (call it X) xtract the hen and devhook zips
there and click yes to overwrite

now xtract 1.50 dump to MS_ROOT\dh\150
and yes to overwrite

now in x\MS_root folder add a folder caled iso (U put ISOs here)

now select everything in the X\MS_ROOT\
and copy it to the root of ur MS (the base fo your MS)
get hen to run.(IE blue then green) each time after the first
it will just go blue and restart that means it worked
now on the psp xbm go to game\Memory Stick\DEVHOOK0.4X launcher for 2.71
hit x there you go devhook is running !!!!!

hope that helps

i got it to work this morning with the old verson of hen,

and i formated my memorystick and set everything to default,

and henb wont wrok i tried like 15 times

WUT IF U WERE TO DO THE SAME PROSES JUST THAT INSTED OF 1.5 U PUT 1.0 THEN PUT IN THE 1.5 UPDATE SO THAT THE PSP INSTALS 1.5 TO THE TA-O82 MOTHERBOARDS SO IN THE END U GET A TA-082 PSP WITH 1.5 AND U DONT HAVE TO DO ALL THE PROSES EVERY TIME U TURN THE PSP ON??

Oh, I also put the 1.5 dump in the DV under MS_ROOT/dh/150

Didnt help me @ 139.. i still get game could not load error.. i could see the black dev hook screen with the options before i put on the 1.5 dump but now it goes to that error.. ive reformated and put stuff back on and still dont wokr.. i even tried to see devhook options without the dump loaded but still didnt work.

#83

@140 so when u look at ur ms you should see 4
folders

dh
ISO
PSP
MP_ROOT

do u see that

omg dude thank you thank you

do i put the stuff in the root of my memory stick or in a folder named MS_ROOT?

@144 man it sounds like HEN is not loaded

DO I HAVE TO HAVE FLASH ENABLED FOR THE HENB TO WORK?

@145 at the root (base of the memory stick)

is it supposed to say it cant load the game or w/e?

urrrm this may sound stupid but will this work on 2.60
and if not
WHY THE F**K IS THERE NOT ONE FOR 2.60FW
lol thats all i have to say

At 142
Ya, you could do that… if you wanted to brick your psp :p Seriously, don’t try installing the 1.5 firmware onto a TA-82, the board WILL NOT accept it, period. This is why it must be emulated.

hmm thats weird do i have to go through hen everytime i turn my psp on cause now it doesnt want to work

aaawww I just sell my TA-082 psp to buy non TA 1.5 fw psp :) Guys help me to get the file firmware upgrade 2.71 any link ?????? help…. thanks

at 136.
Yes, hen must be reloaded every time you restart your psp. :(

posts keep getting deleted…grr.
My last reply was directed towards you, Carlos.

Yes.. yes Carlos you do have run hen each time after the psp has reset u should see blue screen
then a quick restart when u see that it means it’s
loaded

now could some one help me i need dumps of 2.60 and 2.71

Best bet for dumps of 2.60 or 2.71 would be on a File sharing program of some sort….

I hope you all burn in hell you ignorant sons of bitches

@ 141 … hey these ppl are helping the society… hope YOU suffer blue balls and get ticketed with coupons

Ouch dude…. ouch….. at least im gettin sum…. evn if wit bandaged arms and free burgers LMFAO…. i hope u die!

How do i load the iso on dev?? i see the files but what are the settings i should put in??HELP

lmao bandaged cause of over usage.. but still on topic.. they need a step by step VIDEO for me =D

ya i really need an easier guide to do this,

A Guide.. Thanks to me :P

Seink’s Quick newb guide to using HEN Rev. B and DevHook Launcher for 2.71!

INSTALLATION(when connecting to computer with usb)

1) install HEN Rev. B (Drag and drop everthing from the MS_ROOT file and paste it inside your psp drive(just make sure everything from the psp folder is in your current psp folder.)

P.S. You have to reformat if u have HEN A installed before.

2) install DevHook(drag and drop everything from the MS_ROOTa nd paste it inside your psp drive(just make sure everything from the psp folder is in your current psp folder.)

3) install FW1.50 dump.(Drag and drop flash0 & flash1 &reboot.bin==>dh==>150 and overwrite everything.)

OPERATION(after turn on psp)

4)Go to photo viewer and enter HEN.You have to repeat this process until there is either a blue or green screen(Freezes and red screen means unsuccessful patching, retry UNTIL there is blue or green screen).After a blue/green screen, psp will reboot and ure done!

P.S. When psp freezes, push the power switch up until the psp resets.Also, the program randomly suceeds.u can succeed with 1st try or with 20 tries.

5)go to memory stick and and click on DevHook 4.X Launcher.

6)In DEVHOOK, UMD select game ISO, FW select 1.50. then click start.(YOUR ISO SHOULD BE IN THE ISO FOLDER AND AT THE BASE OF YOUR MEMORY STICK.if u dont have iso folder, make one by urself.)

P.S. Navigation process of the DEVHooK is covered in the readme files.Pls make sure u read every readme file.

Further Trouble Shooting

MS_ROOT == MP_ROOT == BASE DRIVE OF YOUR PSP.(c/d/e:\ of your removable storage that has PSP folder.)

From the README Files:
When going from firmware 2.71 to 1.50, you will get the error “Couldn’t start game”.

I made this highly detailed guide becoz new users,such as i, are unfamiliar with the notations.TA-082 users pls shout out thanks to dear programmers for their devotion and work to make using iso a reality~~~!

Seink

wheres does the 1.5 files goes

iso is not a reality yet… atleast not for me!! sum1 plz tell me the correct to load iso with this devhook.. what are the settings, which firmware to i choose?? HELP ME!!

ok hi,

i got the henb to work becasue i am able to run the programs it comes with
ex: the cube

but my version in system setting still says 2.71

and i dont know what i have to do next,

please reply ASAP

is that downgrader for psp with the ta-082 motherboard also?? cus its not fun having a brick psp…

Just helped my new friend Carlos install everything on his TA-082 – in case it has not been confirmed, I can now confirm that this new hack does work perfectly fine on TA-082 motherboards. And does work for loading your ISO backups ;) For all the noobs, if you want to load an ISO backup, you’ll probably need to emulate FW 2.0 or higher instead of FW 1.5. FW 1.5 will mostly be used to run your homebrew applications and games. Happy hacking everyone, and thank you Dark_AleX.

someone reply #152
he sounds like a nice guy needing some help

;)

Bf only we could emulate a 1.50fw on a 2.60fw

i know what you all want to say
“downgrade”.
But no i dont want to because i have 3 psps and the one i use most is the (factory 1.50 non ta-082 updated to 2.60) and i think that 2.60 is the most balenced firmware there is on psp

Pls follow #148 or #149. Most of the stuff is already answered there.

it works! i have a 1.71 ta-082 mobo i was able to emulate 1.50fw but when i press a button the screen goes black and returns in a little wile slowwww… every time my system freezes i have to do a hard ware reset and turn back on and run hem again… i havent been able to run homebrew aplications due to the fact that i cant acces the 1.50fw correctly… great work man! and this is joust the begining i hope… :)

OK THIS WORKS I MANAGED TO EMULATE 1.50 using my 2.71.
AND

i want to know if it is possible to emulate 2.6 if i put a 2.6 dump in the dh folder and then run devhook

ANSWER ASAP PLEASE

where can i get a 2.6 or higher dump plz let me kno ASAP….thanx

Ok, I did everything right. And when I emulate FW1.5, I can’t run 2 of the ISO on my PSP. I will try to emulate FW2.0 see if that works. WHen I picked FM1.5 and load the ISO from DH, it said “Game can not be started”

I can delete the hen after the install?

all the dumps are available in THIS SITE,
go to DWONLOADS> DUMPS.

&&&&
OK THIS WORKS I MANAGED TO EMULATE 1.50 using my 2.71.

agh.. i dont want to update my 2.6fw TA-082 psp why couldnt they developed it for the 2.6 now im stuck debating weather or not to upgrade to 2.71

@165 hey where did you get the 2.6 dump??

First of all, I want to thank Dark Alex for making this possilble.

My question is, if the readme said “Couldn’t start game” is done on purpose, does it mean we can’t load ISO yet eventhough I see people said they can load ISO. I for one keep getting this message and that’s it. I haven’t be able to load an ISO game yet. Someone said emulate FW2.0. There is no FW2.0 dump from download.

i cant load isos i only got a spiderman movie umd
do i need other firmware files to load isos?

once i have 1.5 emulated do i emulate 2.7 again?

the link for the 1.50 dump is missing the reboot.bin. I have looked everywhere in it
Its getting frustraiting

after talking to my sister im going to upgrade

I have a TA-082 and the HEN B works on my psp. The only problem is that it takes about 30 tries running the tiff file before the thing works.

As for the devhook it loads but cannot go into emulation of 2.71 or 1.50. It just shuts off after i hit starts which forces me to go back to running the HEN B thing again and trying another 30 times before it works. So far i’ve only gotten to devhook to load only 4 times and every time no luck running the goods.

I NEED 2.6 OR HIGHER DUMP SO I CAN EMULATE IT ON DEVHOOK. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME….

They say that when you suceed at something that eludes you for a long time, the satisfaction you feel in the accomplishment is great, and so it is.

For people who have copied the 1.5FW to the corresponding folder in the dh\150 folder, know that there should be 4 things you should be able to see when in there( G:\dh\150 in my case), the readme.txt file, 2 folders entitled flash0 and flash1, and finally a file named reboot.bin. The lack of reboot.bin threw me off good, but i noticed that greg said he updated it on some post up there, so i redownloaded the dump, opened the .rar, and saw it in there. so i re-copied the whole thing over again and this time it worked. Hope this helps others out there.

sry, by updated it, i ment the 1_50_US_Firmware_Dump.rar file for download

Please check the Download->Utilities section for an easy installer of Devhook that includes 2.71FW. Now you may be asking, huh? why should I emulate FW 2.71 when I am already running FW 2.71? The answer is if you want to run backup ISO’s, you have to use FW 2.0 or higher as most games out these days require FW 2.0 or higher to run. And the only way to run backup ISO’s is to run them through the Devhook emulation of FW 2.0 or higher (the easy installer includes FW 2.71). So instead of loading FW 1.5 in Devhook, load FW 2.0 or higher (ex. 2.71) to run the backup ISO’s. Hope that helps. Peace.

Well then I dont know how your getting a differnt 1_50firmware_dump.rar I gone to the link even hunted for it on the site but still no reboot.bin in the rar file

is it worth to update to 2.71.. i mean what if thay come out with a 2.6 downdater for the ta-082. im open for suggestions. what about 0okm downdater for the ta-082.. isent that still on the works?

And so the answer to Dark_AleX Lover’s question above is YES, you can emulate FW 2.6 if you put the 2.6 firmware dump in the proper folders inside the dh folder. And to clarify, the Easy Devhook installer mentioned above includes a Devhook that is for FW 1.5. Ignore this, all you want is the FW 2.71 dump files which are automatically installed in the correct place. Then you run the Devhook for 2.71, not the Devhook for 1.5. Got it? Great!! Later!!

Dark_AleX, your efforts and contributions to the PSP hacking scene are greatly appreciated. Cheers!

It works. My issue was that i didnt have a real game in. After i did that it worked no problems. Il’m soo happy i’m playing .iso’s like nothing. running firmware 1.5. very sweet

does this work with all 2.71 psp or is it only TA-082 psp

I upgraded from 2.6 to 2.71. and i have TA-082 so i would guess so. the major issue is make sure that u have a game when u press start at the dev screen. so it uses the umd to restart the system.

Hi all!

Special thanks to the developers who made this happen, and also to those who were helping us noobs with our inquiries.

I have a short question, though: how do we exactly install the 1.5 FW dump? Will I just have to copy the contents over the respective firmware number inside the dhs(something) folder?

Thanks!!!

The freaking thing just freezes! I tried over 20 times in my TA-082 2.71 and got nothing. What the hell could be wrong?

Firmware dump does go in that specific number folder. Its easy after you get it. dont forget its so easy if you already have a game

It runs!!! :D

It’s hard at the begining cos I’ve needed about 15 trys to have it running, but finally I can load some isos!!! :D

Thanks a lot to all the guys who spend theys time and efforts opening the psp world beyond sony’s narrow vision. Thankx!!!

check out dar alex’s website given at the end of the post (the souce link)…a revised Hen B has been launched which works in one go for me :)

Works! TA-082 2.6 -> 2.71
I have two memory card, 32mb and 512mb.
I didn’t have any luck running Hen B in 512mb, always freeze, however a freshly formatted 32mb runs Hen B like a charm. Works on first try w/ a few exceptions (3 – 4 tries at most). After Hen B blue screen, I switch to my 512mb and run devhook to play games. I leave my psp in sleep mode so I don’t have to re-run Hen B again. Thx Dark_AleX!

what are the settings you put in for devhook to run iso???

ghb is right! Just downloaded Hen B 2 and it works on my first try for my 512mb card also! =) I tried it a couple of times and it works on the first try every time!

I first copy a game into the memory stick ISO (G:/ISO) directory. Set the firmware to load 2.71 (assuming you have the firmware copied in there), and also 333 mhz. Once you hit start, you need a game inside the psp.

Is this only for TA-082 ?

I was able to load Dev Hook, I put my backup ISO to my ISO folder which is located with the MS_Root and PSP folder. I loaded using fw 2.71, 333mhz, restart xmb and press start, soon crashes and I have to start the Hen thing all over again! Help!

i am using a Jap version psp.

i downloaded the jap 1.5fw dump. this does not work when using devhook to emulate firmware.

i see that the US version was missing the reebot.bin file.

after checking with the JAP file it also is missing this file.

anyway can i use the US 1.5 firmware dump with devhook instead.

please help.

yes it works i tried it myself. US 1.5fw works

where can we get 2.71 firmware dumps please help.

what file do we need to copy on the iso folder. what settings do we use to run it.

thanx

Could someone post a link for the 1.5 reboot.bin? I’ve redownloaded the f1.5 dump from here but after clearing my IE cache many times now it still doesn’t have reboot.bin included! Thanks!

here you go try this link. US FW1.5

http://www.psp-hacks.com/download.php?id=8

OK I managed to download the correct fw1.50 dump from here now by manually selecting a proxy to use. Turns out it was my ISP’s transparent proxy causing the problem (and it wouldn’t even bypass it by pressing shift/ctrl and refresh like it’s supposed to)

#194 u can use us dump… i also have jap psp and it works

I have a European psp. Can I also use the US dump? Thanx.

this works great with my 2.71 psp ta082 mobo.

jus need the 2.71fw dump files to play 2.xx games.

thank Dark-Alex

I am a Total noob! I need a tutorial so i can run ISOs. I have 2.71 ta082. i did the homebrew enabler, now how do i do dev hook and ISO loading…please help

SONY, congrats, u just got pwned again. Have a nice day.

Awesome! I got it to work! When I launched Devhook 0.4x I was a little confused at the menus, but I just selected Firmware then 1.5, and I hit Start and my PSP was now emulating 1.5! I’m gonna try some homebrew now.

I finally managed to get ISOs working on my TA-082 PSP (Spiderman2 in particular). It runs full speed just like a UMD game. Bravo Dark Alex.

I’ll try and post the exact steps to be followed :

1. Download the HENB2 rar file from dark alex website – http://dax.lan.st/henb2.rar

2. Download the DevHook and the 1.5 FW from the links given in the post above.

3. Unzip the HENB and the DevHook to the proper folders in the PSP (Just following the folder heirarchy i.e. copy all files in the PSP/ directory to the PSP/ directory of your memory stick, etc.)

3. Unzip the contents of the 1.5 FW in the dh/150 directory of your memory stick

4. Make a ISO folder in the parent directory of your PSP folder in your memory stick. This is the root directory of your memory stick. Copy all you game ISOs here.

5. On the PSP’s main menu, go to the PHOTO directory and enter the HEN2 folder. Your PSP would turn BLUE and then reset itself.

6. Go to the GAME directory on the main menu of the PSP and go to the Memory Stick. Launch the ‘DEVHOOK0.4X launcher for 2.71′ app from there.

7. Put in a game UMD in your PSP.

8. People have written about setting the CPU speed to 333Mhz. I just selected the ISO from the ISO sub-menu and pressed the START button.

9. An ‘Unable to load game’ message would appear (or a message similar to that). Nothing to worry about. This SHOULD happen (I think)

10. You now should have your PSP main menu displayed. (Check the firmware. You should have version 1.50 showing up.) Try loading up a game as you would from an UMD (Game->UMD) and you shall find that your ISO loads up.

I spent a long time trying to run WWE 2006 unsuccessfully. Then I tried Spiderman2 coz it should run on a FW 1.50 and it worked. If one of your ISOs does not load try loading something else. I’ll try and keep posting about my successes and failures.

Hope that helps. :)

Please pardon the incorrect numbering the post above.

Guys I don’t have a TA-082, will this work?
Thanks!

Is the game UMD absolutely necessary? I don’t have any

Okay, I can get HENB running fine, I install Devhook and I run it once. Then I go to select the 1.5FW and nothing happens so I exit out of Devhook, then, when I try to enter it again, it always says that “the game could not be loaded” Any ideas what’s going on?

Much thanks everyone (is there an IRC channel I could go to also?)

Wait, disregard my noob ass post, lol. I’m sorry guys, I got things running just fine, I was too stupid to realize that I had to select “START” not “EXIT”.

I am willing to be punished for my stupidity.

can someone make a step by step video and post it on youtube.com so i can see how its done.

There ARE videos on YouTube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAKtMqEisaY

is alex gona make somethnig more stable so it can run on the first try. ?

This is how I got HENB, DevHook, 1.5FW emulated and ISOs working on my TA-082 2.71FW PSP.

1.)Format your memory stick (back up any game saves/movies/pictures you want to keep.

2.)Get the HENB rar from this site and download it, save it to your Hard drive.

3.)Connect your PSP to your PC via USB and open up the PSP directory.

4.)Open up the HENB rar. Drag the folder SRC into the Memory stick ROOT folder. Open up MS_ROOT select all the files and drag them to the Memory stick ROOT folder, replace all the files it asks you to.

5.)Download the DevHook rar and open it up. Drag the SRC folder into the Memory Stick ROOT, click yes when it asks you about replacing the folder. Wait for all files to transfer.

6.)Get the 1.5FW Dump from this site, save it to your Hard Drive.

7.)Navigate to the Devhook folder, called “dh” then open the folder “150” in the 1.5FW rar, copy the folders “flash0” and flash1” to the 150 folder on the PSP’s memory stick. Do the same for the file Reboot.bin.

8.)Disconnect the PSP from your PC. Go over to the Photo menu, open up the HEN folder and your screen will freeze for a second then go blue, your PSP will restart, HEN is now loaded.

9.)Go to the GAME menu and open the Memory Stick and navigate to DEVHOOK.4X launcher for 2.71. Select it and DEVHOOK will load.

10.) Now in Devhook, move to FIRMWARE and press the O button, select 1.50 and press O again. Move to start and press O, your PSP should load up and the message “The game could not be started (80010002) should be seen, press O then there you go, you are now emulating 1.5FW.

11.)Now to load ISOs. Connect your PSP to your PC once again and create a folder in the Memory Stick Root called “ISO”. Drag and drop the ISO(s) you wish. Disconnect the PSP and navigate to the Game Menu.

12.)Select DEVHOOK0.46 launcher and watch it load.

13.)Go to UMD SELECT, and select the UMD you want to load, then you can choose if you want to load it from a UMD in your PSP or without. Select whichever you want, it makes no difference.

14.)Select START in DEVHOOK and you will be brought back to the GAME menu, go up to the UMD and you will see the Game you selected in DEVHOOK there.

Good luck, hope this helps!

i have 1gig stick. but the game i have is to big. am i missing something? do i have to compress the iso so it fits to the memory stick?

@200 propably yes… just try

If we have the Hen B (not the sept 25 redone binary) should we update our HEN folder w/ the new one?

RICANPAPI_16 please read comment #214, you have to create a folder 1st.

Wow Gr8 Release!!!
Im A Bit late but just in time i feel.

so does it works on 2.5 EU (if ill upgrade it…)???
if someone know/tried ill be glad to hear about it

thanx alot!!!!

OK KNOW WHEN I GO TO “UMD SELECT” I SEE UMD DISK AND MY ISO GAME. I SELECT MY ISO GAME THE GO TO START IN DEV HOOK AND THE PSPS SHUTS OFFFF???

update:
Devhook launcher port to 2.71 (now with support of 2.71 flash)

http://dax.lan.st/

WHEN I INSTALL THIS NEW ONE TO I HAVE TO ENABLE FLASH OR NO??????????????????????

very nice sh!t…..
not to be negative but has any one else noticed that once you flash this you cant go online anymore=[
hopefuly henc will fix this…..

where do i find homebrew emus to run psp. ??

IT WORKS :)

Does It Works With Upgraded 2.5->2.71 EU???

what if i keep doing the hen thing? but it just turns OFF.. no blue red or any other colour screen show?

THIS IS ONE FUSTRETED NOOB HERE.THIS NEEDS TO BE MORE STABLE.THANKS DARK ALEX UR THE MAN.

thanks “BADMOFO” ive never seen a question answered better
!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes i got it to work i see my iso and when i select it it says”TO START, YOU MUST UDATE THE SYSTEM SOFTWARE? WHAT SHOULD I DO PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there some trick to make Hen restart after it has run? Everytime I run it, I get the blue screen, and then there is no restart to the XMB :( I want to get this working.

@232 same here. blue screen and no restart

@233

I don’t get what is going wrong. There are so many TA-82ers who have this working with no problems with HenB, and yet we run into this weird problem? At least I am not the only one…whew…

well when i try to run my iso it says to start the game u need a 2.60 software update y>??????

#234 yeah i have thsi problem…blue screen and i have to manualy reboot. and then the dev hook doesn’t work….

HEY EVERYONE…i heard from other friends on this side of the world Hong Kong that if you have hen b and you set your psp language to japanese then load hen b….they said that it would have a better chance of working…

so try it out!maybe it would work! ^_^

WELL THE ISO IM TRYING TO RUN TELL ME I CANT START THE GAME WITH OUT DOING A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO 2.60… I DON”T KNOW WHY.

i tried 3 times and it didnt work, ( kept getting red screen ) then i did what 237 said. and it worked! thnx 237 ^^

Ok, I’ve got an error/bug that I don’t think anyone has mentioned. I get HEN B installed fine, I get Devhook installed fine. Boot into DH, switch the FW to 1.5, and then choose the start option. My PSP immediately shuts down, and doesn’t start up for about 1-2 minutes. When it does start up, the screen background color has turned pink. Whenever I hit *any* of the buttons, the screen goes completely black. When I hit any of the buttons after its gone black, I can still hear the button hit sound (so I know the psp ins’t actually turned off). after about a minute or so, the screen turns back on again (only to go black if I hit a button).

Anyone have an idea?

@240
Try taking out your battery and leaving it out for a while. Then put it back in, start it up, and see if that helps.

PLEASE CAN SOME ONE TELL ME WHEN IM EMULATING FW 1.50 WHEN I SELECT THE UMD ISO WHY IT KEEP TELLING ME “TOSTART GAME YOU MUST UPDATE THE SYSTEM”

@241
Tried pulling out the battery and letting it sit for about a half an hour or so. No luck – still does the exact same thing.

@243
Hmmm, I hope you didn’t screw up your firmware somehow. Don’t see how you could of, as Devhook doesn’t write to flash, unless something went wrong with the HenB and you saw its effects after your restarted your PSP. I’m not sure what to tell you. Try booting a umd disk if possible, or (though I know you wouldn’t want to) a firmware update may clear up the problem (or ruin your psp if something is wrong in your flash). I am not a hundred percent sure with what the problem would be, so everything I said is all guesses. Maybe someone else has had this problem before and fixed it?

When I reboot (thereby removing HENB) everything works just fine – so my firmware wasn’t screwed up. Its just when I use DH that I have the problem – oh well. At least my PSP isn’t screwed ;-)

Awesome, Got it working! Dark Alex kicks ass.

only problem though for me is trying to load newer games. I got MGS Acid working, but Street supremacy and Megaman didn’t work :(

Do I have to emulate 2.71 or something to get newer games working ??

thx

i have a 2.6. i wana up it to 2.71 where do i put the eboot file under? save data? or mp-root or what?

I UPGRADED FOR NO FUCKIN REASON THIS SHIT DOESNT EVEN WORK FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think i’ll wait to upgrade when a better 1.5 emu really works. dont wana start my psp a million of times. alex needs to improve it more.

i’ll wait till okmm finish’s his downgrader for ta-082. i have psp 2.5-2.6….i think that 2.71 is gona work to if it was a 2.5.

*
*
Oh Dark Alex you made me dark myself!
*
*
Henb rev2 works every time, excellent.
devhook 2,71 to emu 2.71 starts everything, excellent.
Thank you!

yeh!!!!!!! i made it…successfully load iso…however, as i was unable to emulate 2.71 under Devhook…i have 2 use fastloader….any idea where can get the dump file? please help….

i got it to work i see my iso and when i select it it says”TO START, YOU MUST UPDATE THE SYSTEM SOFTWARE? What should I do?

I have my TA-082 now emulating 2.71 so i can play all games. Message me on nennis2k4 is you having issues

Nick: What are you running to emulate 2.71. I’m currently running TA-082 with FW2.71, and I was able to run the applications above to emulate FW1.5. This appears to work but only allow me to play older games written for just FW1.5. Newer games appear to require newer FW emulation. I haven’t been able to figure out how to emulate the newer FW versions. Can you or anyone post a step by step to allow for newer games to be played?

Running list of games that I’ve gotten to work (and one’s that didn’t)

+ Lumines
+ WipeOut Pure

- Burnout Legends
- Tekken Dark Resurrection

Here is a hint to get those games working that require a firmware update: Go to the store, pick up a copy of the game, put the game in your psp and BAM, you no longer have to steal money from other companies to play your games ;)

I don’t get you people…. you’ll go out and spend a ton of money on a pro duo and a psp, but you can’t afford a game every now and then…just pitiful…

I figured out how to play games that get the error to update. All you need is “Fast Loader” Walllaaaa!!!! Just load it up under fw 1.5 and select your ISO, then put in a UMD and done. But the only problem is that when I try to quit the game it freezes. So I have to restart my psp.

Qwerty777: I’ve never used Fastloader. Do I need HEN+DevHook to softdown to FW1.5 and then use Fast Loader to choose the ISO?

dang dark_alex strikes again.
one of the best out there : )

Everythings here, thanks to BlackRain and Muppetman

http://muppetman555.spymac.com/root1.rar

open and place all files in on your psp *

u will also need a ISO place into the ISO folder *any umd iso*

load hen *blue screen flashes* it may freez on blue screen, just hard reset
then place any umd into the umd drive *any will work*
go to devhook 2.71
*program launches*
go to firmware, select fw 1.5
go to umd, select your ISO, not the umd, and select “image + anyumd”
then go and start
your psp will restart
shows “game couldn not start”, press 0

now check your firmware
1.5
now go to game, and memory stick
load devhook .46 launcher *not 2.71*
now go to firmware select
select fw 2.71
go to umd slect
select the iso u have in the ISO folder
*no option will appear*
then go to start

the ISO should now load… there you go
thanks to BlackRain and Muppetman

for people that want to emulate 2.71. the dump file can be found at http://rapidshare.de/files/27505776/UI_v1.1.1.exe.html ( it is from the forum, just download that file and extract it on ur HD.
and then go to “dh” then “271″ folder and put it in the correct place, U can have both 1.5 and 2.71 on ur psp mem stick. then u can pick whichever one u want to boot up)

@261
I don’t know if anyone else is having trouble with this issue, but after HEN B launches successfully, I almost always get a freeze on the blue screen. If I hard reset (as you suggested), DevHook *will not* launch. It seems that things will only work properly if you don’t get a freeze after you launch HEN B, and the PSP restarts on its own.

Dark Alex is the MAN!!!

anyone having trouble getting back into devhook after an ISO has been mounted? I get an error having to do with the reboot.prx file. Anyone have any thoughts? I can hard reboot, but then I have to go through the whole process of relaunching HEN b.

I finally got everything working but I load a ISO into the UMD selection (I do own a legit UMD of the ISO) select the firmware to emulate hit start and the screen goes black then shuts off. Anyone else getting this issue?

alex needs to fix bugs on this. is he gona release a better one?

yeah I have same problem Captain Primate, even after I relaunch HEN b, i still get that error with the reboot.prx, so I give up for now untill a better version comes out, dont wana mess up my psp lol

Hi, i know this has a slight chance of bricking your psp, but wich is more dangerous, using hen b or using 2.71flash as firmware in devhook, i ask only cause im using ta-082 and everything works fine including the iso’s but i don’t wanna harm ma psp, i’ve read a few people messed their psp’s with the devhook with flash

well whats the point of even trying to risk bricking it? even when it has a slight chance of bricking. why not wait till it works full on. pluss this. i need to restart over and over and over untill it finaly works. gets anoing.

you guys are the best at helping others,the umd iso, how to set it up, everything just wonderful how people work together, stupid sony trying to stop that…. it worked for me on my first try i couldnt believe it ! and i never had a devhook fever, but now i do i cant believe what a wonderful tool it is!!!!!!!

THNX DARK_ALEX

when i try to use devhook .46, soi can emulate 2.71, it doesnt even load, just goes black and restarts

i got the 2.6 dump, but it doesnt have flash0, flash1, where do i put all those stuff, it also has “kd”, do i put that “kd”replacing the “kd”, sort of confused, has anyone get 2.71 emulater to work

YES IT WORKED GOOD THANX EVERYONE THAT HELPED ESPESIALLY DARK ALEX THE BEST HACKER EVA.DARK ALEX STANS FOR(FUCK U SONY U CAN”T BEAT THE DARK ALEX)

your lieing it dident work. how many times does it take to turn on?

i cam

hey can u use wi fi with 1.5 – 2.6 emulated?cause im emulating 2.71 right now to run my isos, by the way great work bringing us ta-082 users such a awesome thing

I think I got everything working….but how do I get my emulators working???

how do i upgrade to 2.71. i got the eboot but now what?

Create a folder named Upgrade in the root of your memory stick and drop in the eboot (2.71 upgrade file) inside that folder. From there just go to the main menu of your psp and look under memory card and select Update to 2.71

I had a 2.6 firmware, I upgraded to 2.71 and have everything loaded and working. Not ISOs because I dont have any but I want my emulators to work again. If I use Devhook to emulate 1.5 fw what is the next step? Do I need different emulators now? Emulators that only work on 1.5 and not the 2.6 ones I currently have?

@281: If you can get a fw2.6 dump, you can just have Devhook emulate that.

how can u browse the web on emulated 1.5?

How can you use fw 2.6 to do that? do you load from the mem card?

man… i dont know witch way to go… should i upgrade to 2.71.. or wait till Ookm comes out with that ta-082 downdater.. what is the best way to go… help!!!!!. dont wana upgrade just in case someone comes out with 2.6 downdater or something.

well i had 2.5 and upgraded to 2.71 and im happy : )
honestly there no difference becus u can emulate 1.50 and play all the homebrew…BUT if you can wait then go ahead… I love playing ISOs on my 2.71 ta-082!!! HAHAHA I LOVE DARK ALEX

So how do you play homebrew on 1.5? do you need new emulators?

I fucking love this!!!!
That is no need for any modchip, any downgrader and best of all any risk of bricking MY TA-082!!!!

how do i fit big iso file on my mem stick? is there any programs that i need to shrink’um.

Thnx, BlackRain, ur idea worked i can play any ISO game i have now.

Oh man, it’s really a dream come true for us TA-082ers!
I tried blackrain/muppetman’s step-by-step procedure and worked on a first try, and it did work everytime.
I just noticed that everytime I closed a game(iso) the firmware flashes back to 2.71 but it’s on the other profile (with a psp-hacks wallpaper), but it’s ok now at least we have this great hack!
Now I still have another question, how can I play homebrews using this hack? please another step-by-step procedure will be much apprecuated. Thanks to HEN Rev. B (Dax?)

#280 the mp_root?

i put eboot 2.71 in the root but.. nothing in the mem card when i check in psp meneu. i put eboot 2.71 in the psp folder and it gives me a corrouped data… any ideas?
is there any way i can download 2.71 straight on my psp so i dont have to make the folder.

OK I UPDATED TO 2.71. I HOPE THIS HACK WORKS.

Why dose ever noob talk like this ” OMG OMG THIS BRICKED MY 2.81 OMFG I HATE YOU DARK_ALEX” you guys are stupid.

HOLY SHIT!!! IT WORKED. ON THE FIRST TRY. ALEX…..YOUR THE MAN.

i got a 2.71 and its in the dh folder in the proper place but when i run dev 4x for 2.71 and try to emulate 2.71 it dont work it just turns off why?

Absolutley amazing. Thank you so much, Dark_AleX! :)

@292

Emulate firmware 1.50 first by using blackrain/muppetman’s instructions (reproduced here for convenience):

8.)Disconnect the PSP from your PC. Go over to the Photo menu, open up the HEN folder and your screen will freeze for a second then go blue, your PSP will restart, HEN is now loaded.

9.)Go to the GAME menu and open the Memory Stick and navigate to DEVHOOK.4X launcher for 2.71. Select it and DEVHOOK will load.

10.) Now in Devhook, move to FIRMWARE and press the O button, select 1.50 and press O again. Move to start and press O, your PSP should load up and the message “The game could not be started (80010002) should be seen, press O then there you go, you are now emulating 1.5FW.

As long as you put your homebrew directories is in the correct directory (I think it’s under ms0:\PSP\GAMES or something like that), you should be able to see them and run them. I got PSP Chess running easily.

how do i shrink iso file so it fits on mem stick anyone know?

yes, go to the download section of this website its in utilities or something, or google it : iso shrinker

If it wasn’t for Sony you wouldn’d have a PSP to play with. Thanks Sony for providing us with the hardware. Keep up the good work and bring us some more great game.

Dark Alex is my God….

Should I be able to run my iso of Star Wars Lego2 using BlackRain and Muppetman’s directions? I have 1.5 loaded then go into dev46 and select fw2.71 and the iso i want but my psp just turns off after a few seconds? Thanks

Great, Works Perfectly!!!
ISO’s, Homebrew Whatever You Want!
DAX4EVER!

Awesome!! Works everytime!!! Thanks Dark_Angel!!!!!

Also thanks to lack Black Rain and Muppetman.

I could not have enjoyed my PSP this much without your hard work.

Those of you having a hard time, try this, worked for me every time:

backup your mem card
format your mem card
upgrade to 2.71, if you have not done so already

look up comment on this page by Black Rain
follow his instructions to a “T”
do not improvise or second guess the directions, do exactly what he says, it will work.

Enjoy!!

I have 2.6 Ta-082, was wondering if it’s worth it upgrading to 2.7

@316, I also have a 2.6 ta-082, I used to use the TIFF loaders and loved them. After upgrading to 2.71, not 2.7 I could still do everything that I was able to before, plus run some 1.5 homebrew while in 1.5 mode, plus more!!!

Just read my post @315 and have fun.

Seriously all this new tools has been great
but i think hackers should now focus on how to by pass Ta-082 and non Ta-082 2.7fw and make 2.7 accept homebrew and run iso and do everything 1.5 does rather always trying to bring up some new tools to downgrade to 1.5 i *maybe* not a psp hacker but o0rk, dark alex, fanjita and etc this is the challenge

i m getting this error 80020001
eventhough i follow the above instruction by black rain
help me out

hey Dark_Alex…u r fu**ing rocks!!!!!!!!

F1, ape escap, wipeou pure, NBA2**6 are in my playlist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sony k.o. big time….

hi,
following blackrain’s details
load hen *blue screen flashes* it may freez on blue screen, just hard reset
then place any umd into the umd drive *any will work*
go to devhook 2.71
*program launches*
go to firmware, select fw 1.5
go to umd, select your ISO, not the umd, and select “image + anyumd”
then go and start
your psp will restart
shows “game couldn not start”, press 0

But when ‘go and start’ the psp just turns itself off, regardless whether umd in or not.

What am i missing???!

Thanks

I decided not to upgrade to HEN C since my TA-082 works fine with HEN B. Does anyone tried playing GTAVCS? Any success? I dl’d the ISO but I can’t play it. It just flashes back to 2.71 menu (with PSP-HACKS wallpaper). HELP!

im gettin 80020001 error. PLEASE HELP ME OUT!

PLEASE HELP!!! 80020001 ERROR!

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you’re only interested in playing backup ISO’s, you DO NOT need to run FW 1.5. I don’t know why there are all these instructions telling people to load FW 1.5 just to load devhook 0.46 to load FW 2.71. All you need to do is run devhook 2.71 and load FW 2.71. You can download FW 2.71 from the following link:

http://rapidshare.de/files/27505776/UI_v1.1.1.exe.html

I think that file is clean, but you might want to check it for viruses, etc.

Here are some instructions taken from an earlier post, modified and simplified for people who just want to load backup ISO’s:

This is how I got HENB, DevHook 2.71, 2.71 FW emulated and ISOs working on my TA-082 2.71FW PSP.

1.)Format your memory stick (back up any game saves/movies/pictures you want to keep.

2.)Get the HENB rar from this site and download it, save it to your Hard drive.

3.)Connect your PSP to your PC via USB and open up the PSP directory.

4.)Open up the HENB rar. Drag the folder SRC into the Memory stick ROOT folder. Open up MS_ROOT select all the files and drag them to the Memory stick ROOT folder, replace all the files it asks you to.

5.)Download the DevHook rar and open it up. Drag the SRC folder into the Memory Stick ROOT, click yes when it asks you about replacing the folder. Wait for all files to transfer.

6.)Get the 2.71FW Dump from this site, save it to your Hard Drive.

7.)Copy the 2.71 FW files to the dh/271 folder on the PSP’s memory stick.

8.)Disconnect the PSP from your PC. Go over to the Photo menu, open up the HEN folder and your screen will freeze for a second then go blue, your PSP will restart, HEN is now loaded.

9.)Now to load ISOs. Connect your PSP to your PC once again and create a folder in the Memory Stick Root called “ISO”. Drag and drop the ISO(s) you wish. Disconnect the PSP and navigate to the Game Menu.

10.)Go to the GAME menu and open the Memory Stick and navigate to DEVHOOK.4X launcher for 2.71. Select it and DEVHOOK will load.

11.) Now in Devhook, move to FIRMWARE and press the O button, select 2.71 and press O again.

12.)Go to UMD SELECT, and select the ISO you want to load, then select “image + anyumd”.

13.)Select START in DEVHOOK and you will be brought back to the GAME menu, go up to the UMD and you will see the Game you selected in DEVHOOK there.

Good luck, hope this helps!
