w00t!! this must be cool..

This is so cool, keep up ur work Dark_Alex and so or later there would be a TA-082 downgrader :)

3rd place not bad! one hour trying to to get the damn psp to downgrade. bad. Easy install. BAD ASS!

PS if you have trouble downgrading I had to use MPH D.G. for some reason good luck!

4th to last! damn! thanks chaos! your the besT!

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem. When I go to install it on my PSP’s memory card via the USB. It gets to 63% and freezes. I’ve installed it to my harddrive instead and it goes on there with no probs but I daren’t take the risk in copying the files from my HD to my PSP’s MS.

I’v tried a couple of memory cards just to be certain mine isn’t faulty.

It’s probably the installer, it’s always slow and stuff.. just copy the files over from your HDD.. there’s no risks involved. Don’t worry. ^_^ or else you can wait for my package. with detailed readme.

I can’t get the dev hook to work properly…i deleted the devhook that ive had previously and did a fresh install from this…. what happened was….i loaded up devhook and selected the game i wanted to play…btw, the game is in .cso format… anyways….and selected all the required settings…. and off i went… it loaded up back to the XMB and then it had the preview of the game…selected it…had the sony psp sing and everything and after a few seconds…it loads back in and says.. error 80……….. so if u guys got the dev hook up and running…please tell me how.. thanx

my psp is’nt loading my iso’s or cso’s. I tried dev and when it’s trying to load the psp crashes.

do u install this with 2.71 firmware or 1.50.. someone help

lol.. pple, just get build 3. xD

build 3 didnt work either….anyone got devhook 2 work please post something… the whole upgrading to ver 2.71se was smooth….so yea…

I’ll include that in my pack then, give me up to 48 hours to release my package though. ^_^

HI DOES DEIVCE HOOK LOAD UP ISO’S AND IF NOT IS THERE REALLY ANY POINT IN UPGRADING

Thanx Zephyrus! and to answer Ryan, no, the devhook provided in this package doesn’t work…or maybe it’s just me..but there was another person that didnt get it to work either….but ive tried changing settings here and there and it still doesnt work…i tried installing new fresh installs..formatting mem stick..and it doesnt work.. keeps giving me “The game could not be started” so yeah

I just install Only DevHook for 2.71 from this install can someone show me how to Install the 1.5 fw for devhook Thanks

booga, be sure to visit the support thread, I’ve posted some basic information there. I’ll try to get my pack up within 48hrs though.. sigh..

Well i didnt use this installer i used the release straight from Dark_Alex and all i can say is that Dev Hook works fine it emulates and runs ISos perfectly so you must have something slightly wrong with your devhook installation at the end, this is all i can think of…

Can you still use the old DevHook via the GAME150 folder?

One other thing, I downgraded my PSP in July with the Easy Downgrader from 2.6 to 1.5. I’ve been reading things about the flash0 not having sufficient space. Will it still be okay to upgrade to 2.71SE???

I have upgraded and downgraded a few times between firmwares. You should be fine because I think it formats the flash memory everytime you change the firmware

if it appears to freeze at 63% just be patient, it’s working and will continue.

@DJ Chewmacca!: yes, you can still use the old devhook in your GAME150 folder. And, if you’re scared there’s not enough space on your FLASH0, upgrade to 2.71 and downgrade using the updateflasher. ^_^

cool i guess it saves u the time of making and moving files around

So If I get this straight, this is basically an install of the 2.71 FW but with 1.5 kernel support? If it is, then its a huge improvement, but Id rather use Devhook on my 1.5 (No offense)

Everyone having issues with devhook just change the pre-load address to the 89000000one
Worked for me :P

everything went fine, as i am now running this firmware. For some reason though, when i run snes9x tyl, it cant see the roms folder. Same for DGEN and BOR. i dont know what to do to get them to see the folders and whats in them…Any help is greatly appeciated.

Hempy i had the same problem, just go through the folders in the snes9x tyl and find the folder that syas roms and select ti, there you will find your roms

LOL i had a dream that Dark_AleX made a Revision B and it had ISO support.. lol, but i just use Devhook.

guys

now my psp system version is 2.71 SE - A already

but how do i go back to version 1.5?

Tried the update flasher but the henc totally just wont start so when i tried to activate the update flasher an error message DADADA appears.

Bro do what i did, just put the RECOVERY folder into the GAMES folder. Then restart your psp holding the R trigger. Follow the prompts and in no time u will be right back to 1.5. I had to do this cause i couldnt get ANY of my emulators to see any their roms folders. Ill wait for a better revision…

oh thanks bro been a great help

tested this version

its like a 1.5 talent hidden in a 2.71 firmware.

A real stepstone for custom firmware

but using it i still thinks that 1.5 is better cus i love to beta test every new downgrade or custom firmware u guys comes up with. and this 2.71se seemed unstable from my use but i believe more improved edition will come up soon.

Dark alex, millions of people from the whole world will remember u and ur name. Your creations have brought lot of happiness around. Keep it up.

you can play nintendo Emulator.
ti can’t Read the roms beacause the program is set to read From Game folder. not GAME150, so in the program ” you will get an error, well after that you go to the top. (……..)

Hey guys, can I get some help over here?

Some people say it’s as easy as using the Rtrig to recover back to 1.5. But I can’t seem to locate what to choose in the recovery menu to recover back to 1.5.

I did try “Run program at…” but it only says, can’t find UPDATE.PBP.

No matter where i put the Roms folder on my mem stick i cant locate it, It shows my snes9x folder as being empty. Everytime i start SNES9xtyl it gives me an error message saying somthing about my memstick…I already recovered back to 1.5 and everything is fine.. I just wish i could get this kickass firmware hybrid to run all my emus…

hey guys i have this and am a little confused, does this replace the need of devhook? can it play all the known emulators? im stuck cause i have the plug in and it still says the battery needs to be 75% in order to flash i guess…. wtf?

nmo

Download and rename the offical 1.5 update file into UPDATE.PBP then put in the recovery folder then put in psp/game/ then go in recovery mode n do the same thing to activate the update flasher.

I’ve been using this for the past couple of hours, its gr8! gud work dark_alex. My emu’s all see there roms fine so perhaps your doin somthing wrong? or perhaps im just lucky.

Thanks heaps, pspn, i appreciate it.

Can’t really see what all the fuss is about. It’s not that different to having V1.50 and running Devhook.
Using V2.71SE to run homebrew then Devhook to run ISO’s is EXACTLY the same as using V1.50 to run homebrew and Devhook to run ISO’s
Both just as easy to use as each other.

My advice would be:
Stick with the V1.50/Devhook combo, wait for the Devhook Custom Firmware!

i updated because i like Atrac3Plus Audio and also it has everything. i hated to run Devhook and listen to Atract3plu audio. so yeah..

hmm..I got Devhook working, but i hate how the umd starts automatically…could i change that somehow?

+am i suppost to see curropted files? i would jus go back to 1.50/…

when the psp loads up, hold the “R” button. in configuration, Enable which functions you like.

You can simply downgrade back to 1.5 by moving the UPDATE.PBP (found in UPDATE folder under psp/game) to the RECOVERY folder (also under psp/game). reboot and hold R trigger to activate the update fresher.

I wouldnt advice the update unless you want to use the internet browser.

so could anybody help??? with fastloader, or UMD Emulator?

great work Dark_Alex and ty chaos zero for your n00b friendly installer, also chaos i would like to say that i aprrieciate having a dev hook that works, i installed the dark alex’s oringal installer and i couldnt get any of my .iso’s to work, and i recoverd back to 1.50, upated to 2.17 and then did the install flasher back to 1.50 to see if that would get devhook to work, when it didnt i was about 2 throw my psp out the window, but i decided to give yours a try and it works perfectly, now i just gotta wait for my 4gig mem card to get here from ebay, im stuck with a 512 and can only play tales of eternia >.

This is good news and the installers great too.

However i’m not going to install this yet a si’m happy with my current setup.

It sounds like Devhook can be integrated into the firmware, so I will wait a few weeks and see what happens.

If devhook gets integrated into a firmware, i will upgrade as this is a killer feature!

I was trying to think what use this was for my 1.5 equipped psp with devhook installed and didn’t get it till I saw #47.

Now if only we could see this spread to firmware 2.8+

So If any 1 could Decryp this Firmware … so we can use it on Devhook …. That would be great…….

i need to ask two things
1)Can i downgrade to normal 1.5 when i wanted
2)İs this dev-hook version for 2.71 emulate 2.80 or not?

Thanks for your answers

i want to ask two things
1) Can i downgrade back to 1.50 when i want
2)İs this dev-hook version can emulate 2.80 or not?

Thanks for your answers

Can you still do all normal homebrew on this and how do you go back to 2.71

tazcan

yes u can recover to 1.5 by using recovery

2.8 is not created for devhook emulation yet

i got the answer for my first question

I have just gone back to Firmware 1.50 after about half an hour with this new custom firmware. Personally I think it needs refining before I would consider putting it back on.

Some of my applications wouldn’t work any more such as FastLoader which I use to copy UMD’s. There are a couple more of my appz it wouldn’t load either. As some one said in a previous post. I would only put it on if your are going to use the Internet Browser. Even then you can use that through DevHook emulated.

I’m sticking with FW1.5…….. For now!

Now we just need X-Flash compatible with this so we can have all our mods with ease.

owk now i upgraded to 2.71 SE with devhook etc.
now i want to load my (backupp3d) splinter cell and i cant get past the loading screen aprox. 2 min in teh game it freezes and goes to the XMB…… teh lol

is it an option that needs to be activated to use the stock 1.5 kernal emu’s or w/e theyre termed mine just freeze at the gameboot screen

For people with devhook problems (like me), here a possible solution:

Install the Devhook 0.46 Ultimate Installer V1.1.1 with the 2.71 emulation. Copy the devhook dir’s from GAME to GAME150 so you can start Devhook 0.46 from the 2.71SE-A firmware

Boot Devhook without any disk in the drive, select the iso/cso you want to load. Devhook returns into the emulated 2.71 firmware without starting the selected iso/cso….Insert a disk (in my case it is the demo-disk with the 2.0 update on it) and after that the emulated 2.71 firmware thinks the original UMD disk of the selected iso/cso is in the drive. A second UMD disk icon appears. Press X to start :-) I only tested this with one cso BTW

Hope this works for more people, Enjoy

HELP!!! UGRADED to this se fw, i by accidentaly reformatted my memory stick, is it possible to downgrade like a normal 2.71 PLZ tell me it is? and i mean the orginal 2 71 downgrade not the recent dark alex one, it doesnt work just keeps on saying DADADADA, so som1 tell me if its possible or am i STUCK with this firmware which btw looked promising but my emus wouldnt work, if he got all the kinks out wouldnt defo upgrade to it.

http://thepiratebay.org/details.php?id=3536646

Here is a torrent link to get back to FW1.5. I did mine this way.

However, use at your own risk!

@61

You can use the recovery mode to reflash your psp to 1.5.

Put the RECOVERY folder from the 2.71 SE-A.rar into PSP/GAME/

Turn iff your psp.

Turn on your psp while holding the R button.

Once in recovery mode, I think you use like the second option down. It says something like run psp/game/recovery/update.pbp.

Doing so will reflash you to 1.5

^^^

Turn *off* your psp. Not iff. ^_^

1.5 EMU’S STILL DONT WORK, INFACT NOTHING WORKS NOW, IM DOWNGRADING BACK DOWN TO 1.5

it keeps saying thers an error

having trouble unflashing the fw i run the 1.5 deboot under psp/game/recovery in the recovery menu but it just turns off after a 2-3 second blank screen…. anyone know whats going on?

…..okay wtf my psp has reached a serious point of uselessness now, and im confused what to do with it. i tryed to degrade with the recovery menu option, didnt do shit then i tryed using the hen c degrader thing that dark alex wrote but the hen doesnt work i try loading the rand picture bianary thing like 6 times i never see a green or a red screen wth is going on? im really happy to be looking forward to a 90$ service fee from sony to fix whatever it is that making my psp mess up and not be usable. Dark nothing personal man i love you you are the one who ever seems to be thinking up the same ideas that i do for the psp, but somehow ive gone from a half useless 1.5 psp to a almost entirely useless 2.71 se psp which i cant even sell to anyone cause no one knows what 2.71 se is.

im obviously doing some kind of no brainer noob mistake, can someone walk me through degrading from this cfw id be grandly appricative.

damn this thing dosn’t have wma/flash player enabled!!! its still great but that kinda sucks

heay does ir shell work

paco,

have you gotten into the recovery mode yet?
In order to revert to 1.5 you have to run the update pbp from there.

look at post #63

Lemmie know what happens

why is it, it want play my iso games

okay yes i did run the config menu like i said i ran the eboot.pbp or what ever it is that you copy into psp/games/recovery it just kind of stalls…and the hen c system does not seem to be at all compatable with this firmware either. which rather annoyed me alot, cause i was trying that down grader option too.

anyway im past all that cause i finally got my emulators to work, so im happy, now

has anyone been able to run emulators and play cso’s w/o having to do any kind of loading or home+start type bullshit?

i was thinking something alongs the lines of using old school umd emulator .8c or whatever its name was, but im not getting very far. cause my emulators dont show up on my xmb menu anymore when im emulating any isos or cso’s

@65 - then you’re obviously an idiot ^_^

to #65 did you move all your 1.50 eboots into the new game150 folder try that

does this upgrade you firmware to 2.71?

i was going to update from 1.5 then i could not find my charger. darn just have to wait for another day.

@74- Jackass, don’t steal my name!

no u see ive REFORMATTED my memory stick so everything in that recovery file is GONE, so im just wondering can i use the whole red screen way to downgrade cuz thats what im TRYNa do, cuz the update flasher DOESNT work just says DADADA, so im using the first way to downgrade to 2.71, is it possible to do it this way, cuz everything happens red screen and all but mem stick doesnt flash alot

i just had an idea. (dont know if it will work tho) cudnt somebody make a dump of 2.71SE that will run in devhook.

that way people could run this firmwire without leaving 1.5 behind, if you a 2.71 devhooker like me who doesn\’t want to risk it OR a TA-082 user that can\’t then you can still run this firmwire.

its a pain to keep switching between 1.5 and 2.71 to run games and just running this through devhook will make life a lot easier.

Hi, i flashed to 2.71 SE and i must say its great, but WLAN DOESENT WORK IN ANY GAME. No matter in which loader i tried Dev Hook, DAX… Does someone have a hint, what´s the problem with this WLAN.

wont work just freeze an restarts. i have fw 2.6

WAIT A SEC DO U HAVE TO HAVE A FIRMWARE BELLOW 2.71? BECAUSE I FUCKING UPGRADED THINKIN THIS ONLY WORKED ON 2.71!

i see the custom start screen but then it restarts. do i need Hen to make it work. i have fw2.6

can he make a copy of this a change the intaller tytle to 2.81 so us 2.80 users can upgrade our psp’s with it
if so please email me

jackonellsg1@hotmail.com

@85

good idea, couldn’t you just try to trick the PSP firmwere into thinking that 2.71SE is higher then 2.8

Did you make sure to copy all your folders from GAME to GAME150?

i was afraid to try itbut it worked fine…its much better than having to change firmwires to play homebrew…..awesome! keep up the good work!

ps. there IS a slight speed decrease on start up…maybe 1 sec longer…..
