cant wait to give it a try!! thanks again DA

Im just a bit confused: What is no-UMD mode exactly, and what are the advantages?
Great Job DA!

It let you run ISO without UMD.

Tested the following ISO’s in No-UMD mode:
Hot Shots Golf (WORKING)
Family Guy (NOT WORKING)
Twisted Metal: Head On (NOT WORKING)

Good work, DA, keep it up!

This is sweet, I’ll start testing my ISO’s now

DA, you rock

This is one big news that PSP-Hacks has beaten PSPUpdates to. =P I was checking Dark_AleX’s site out of boredom when I chanced upon the new release, so I informed Greg right away, heh. ^_^

Burnout (Not Working)

NFS most Wanted (Working)

oh, dammit i dont understand it. what means the 2.71 SE Revision A, B? will this be executed on the 1.5 fw or on the 2.71 fw.? and which fw-version is better 1.00, 1.5 or 2.71? and is it is a risc when i will downgrade from 1.50 to 1.00? and when ill downgr. from 1.5 to 1.00 can i use a japanese 1.00 upgrader? i think dis will be required when ill downgr. from 1.5 to 1.00. so ma psp is a european vision.

oops… i mean psp EU Version and not vision.

KID.. the 2.71SE is a CUSTOM FIRMWARE. It is neither 2.71 nor 1.5.. It’s a firmware that offers you both the features of 2.71, as well as features of 1.5. Read more yourself.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (NOT WORKING)

Good work Dark Alex

Hey can anyone help me with Devhook for 2.71 SE-B’ ?
Everytime I go to emulate a firmware it freezes up on me…I wanted to Emulate it so I could use CW Cheat…but it just wont let me Emu. It….I appreciate any Help

JAWSOME!

Medal of Honour: Working!
WTF: Working!

=)

Anyone knows if post of n9 is fake or does it make sense?

Awsome! I was hoping for a cw/cm/ch support so i wont have to load up DevHook everytime to use them but hey great release and good job DA!

Thanks Zero… but maybe the guy really made a point or something. I am just curious, as I recently bought a PSP with guess what?? Yep… 2.80…

And I am looking foward not for running ISOs, but emulators like NeoGeo… =)

THX THX THX THX THX,

Virtual Tennis (Not Working)
NBA 07 (Not Working)
Killzone (Not Working)

have not tried others

nothing’s working for me. how do i get this thing to work with NO UMD support, i got a busted UMD drive.

Good work, DA ,

can load prx into xmb like devhook can next vision?

EG:use host ,screenshot et.

# 23 i am sorry to say but your psp is BRICKED you can either use a mod chip to fix it or get a new psp i hope this will teach you to read all instructions carefully next time anyways my compatability list is below and all the ones listed below work:

Loco Roco (press release)

Infected

Death Jr.

once again all these WORK!

Other games i have tested:

Spongebob Squarepants Yellow Sponge (works)

Practical Intelligence Quotient (goes to loading screen)

Bust A Move Deluxe (doesnt work)

Tokabot (dosent work)

Coded Arms (works)

Bust A Move Deluxe (doesnt work)
WORKED FOR ME DUDE !!!

And #23 sounds like you have a expensive paper weight.Should have downloaded the full pack upgraded the put the B2 update on.

Rengoku: Tower of Purgatory [EUR] works

Ace Combat X Skies of Deception ( working )

all works for me so far.
all CSO format, level 9 compressed:

Naruto (Working)
Bleach (Working)
Coded Arms (Working)
Puzzle Bubble (Working)
Pinball (Working)

i really don’t get it though, why not having a UMD in the drive?… it’s small, weights 2 grams, it doesn’t bother you to have it inside the UMD drive, and, it’s another game to have with you on the go.

so, what’s the point in not having a UMD inside???

#26 killzone works for me. the only game i had a hard time with was atv off road fury pro. i had to load it in device hook with 2.71 (Flash) and it worked. now it works from the game folder when i try it. strange.

more:

Exit (works)

Avatar the Last Air Bender (goes to the Nick Games intro and then freezes up)

I had the same freezing as #11, but the RECOVERY mode helped me out to restore V1.50. (Hold R when starting up PSP). 2.71SE-B didn’t work really well for me, but thanks for implementing that mode, it saved my console !

Hmm this could be an issue with the game we are trying to run. Killzone works for me now I got the full iso and cso’d it. Those games listed that are working are they ripped or full iso’s? iso or cso format? it would be better if we can take a note of that also

how do i get this to work. i upgraded using the seb-2, but how do i actually get the game to run?

i have a busted UMD drive by the way, having trouble running ISO’s….i’ve installed the SEB-2, and the games do show up when i go on the memory in the PSP interface. but when i select them, nothing happens. am i suppose to do somethhing before i can play ISO’s without a UMD, again my drive is broken.

some people are so dumb and narrow minded, “”"i really don’t get it though, why not having a UMD in the drive?… it’s small, weights 2 grams, it doesn’t bother you to have it inside the UMD drive, and, it’s another game to have with you on the go.

so, what’s the point in not having a UMD inside???”"”

wait til your UMD drive is busted buddy (only a matter of time), you’ll understand why.

Will this work on ta082?? email me chrishavelhorst@gmail.com also if it dosent. dark alex whenever u can .. can u try to make it work on ta082 if it dont already

Anyone can tell me how to play UDM video iso with 2.71 SE? That’s the only feature i missed from 1.5 using UMD emulator.

thx very much.

no it dose not work on any TA-082 even if it was downgraded using 0okom’s Soft Down (witch he has stopped doing). If you have had your psp soft downed DO NOT UPDATE TO ANYTHING EVER IT WILL CAUSE A BRICK!!! and to update to any 2.71 SE you have to have a 1.5 (none TA-082) PSP.

if you need help on this email me and ill try to help
zexfreybler@hotmail.com

oh i said it wrong you either need 1.5 or a previous version of 2.71 SE

@33:Some people have broken their UMD drives and some people don’t own any UMD games they pirate their games (you know how).

@45: You have to enable the NO-UMD feature in the recovery mode. Read the Readme.txt thats why it’s there.

@47: No, it doesn’t work on TA-082s, hardly anything does, just face the fact that you’re stuck with the cursed motherboard. No matter how much you beg DAX he won’t make it work on a TA-082

Broken parts aren’t a matter of time, it’s a matter of use and abuse. I’m not saying you abuse your stuff, I’m just saying that the more you use it the more likely it is to break. It’s called ‘wear and tear’. I’ve broken my analog stick before and it’s not cause Sony has low quality manufacturing processes, it’s because I’m rough on the analog controller. Be kind to your gear and be careful with it, you paid a lot of money for it. Now, you can flame me all you want for this comment, I don’t care, but, if you do it’s ’cause you know I’m right.

I don’t care about the no umd drive but for people who have a broken drive it’s very useful. As far as getting this to work you have to have Custom Firmware Revision B2 2.71 with it up to date. When you power on your psp hold the r button to enter recovery mode then enter configuration mode and in configuration there is an option to disable or enable the no umd option. Yes this custome firmware can brick your psp but if you follow instructions you shouldnt have a problem if you are an newb stick with devhook. But if you have average intelligence of the psp. You should really give this a try besides you can always go back to 1.5

People need to learn to read more carefully and this is VERY useful for me because my umd drive is busted and i cant wait for SE-C which is said will be able to boot most if not all of the isos with no umd also can someone email me telling me if using dev hook 2.71 will brick my psp and if it wont brick my psp then please email me a link to the latest version of dev hook 2.71 my email is jstn_alford@yahoo.com thanks!

@53: It’s not the same as reading carefully, but, people also need to do a little of their own leg work to find the things they want. Go to the forums section and use the search function, this is what it’s there for. ChaosZero has made a very nice auto installer (as usual) for 2.71SE-A&B as well as 2.71 devhook. No it won’t brick your psp, and no I won’t email you a link. That’s what the forum search function is for. There is a link for it in the forums and I’m sure there is a tutorial as well.

what part do i take off to look at the mother bored

So does anybody Know how to Fix the Devhook problem where it Freezes Up once you try to Emulate FW?

@ #54 thanks!!! @ #55 you have to literally painstakingly take almost the whole psp apart.

Street Fighter Alpha 3 does not work with no UMD

#51 – Broken parts aren’t a matter of time, it’s a matter of use and abuse…..

although that’s mostly true, Ild like to add my experience to make it more accurate. I take very good care of my psp, I had only had it for about a month and used it on rare occasion. by whatever slim chance and how the hell knows how, a spec of hard plastic, smaller than the lead tip of a pencil got into my umd drive and now its busted. I havent been able to play any real psp games until hopefully now ( in progress of installing ).

ok,
stellar

This is sweet. SEB2 is the ultimate firmware so far. I have installed everything so far without any issues.

I did some testing with the NO-UMD mode and found the following:

Working:
Tiger Woods 07
Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast
Moto GP

Not Working:
Burnout Legends
(screen stays black after loading but does not crash psp i was able to return to the xmb using the home button.)

I will post more findings when i test them.

Big up Dark Alex u da man!

Thanx All for all this… playing my legit backed up games and all the cool LUA stuff… thanks again to all that makes this happen and SONY for this great piece of hardware

what is the meaning of UMD AND NO-UMD. i know that it means you can play isos without a umd but what is the meaning for umd, can download an iso and have a different umd game inside the psp?

somebody please tell about the no-umd and umd. for umd, if i download an iso can i have a different umd in the psp drive so the iso can work?

hey good work!!!

no really you are GREAT!!!

but couldnt you make usbhost/wifihost on the next version, please with possibility of redirecting the memory card so you can use your hardrive as the xmb’ directories im sure you know what i mean….

is it possible to make a wifi mod to devhook like the usb one it got now??? that would be so cool…

anyways keep up the good work!!!!!!

ps: hope you read this

NFS Carbon works with No-UMD.

Socom also works…but there seems to be no sound with mine…

this firmware is not capable of running usbhostfs right ( iso load over usb )?

its not a whole lot of fun if its legal. but to answer your question, no, nothing we do here or condone is illegal. And if it is, then may the ghost of SONY corp wreak havoc on your conscience.

DA is the man!! I’m just waiting for usb support.. Then I’ll put it on my psp.
