DevHook v0.51 with FW 3.01 Support

greg | December 4, 2006

KABOOM! The man himself, BOOSTER, is back with yet another phenomenal accomplishment — 3.01 firmware emulation via DevHook v0.51. Only days ago v0.50 was made available; now we present you with this earth shattering, mind blowing, wig splitting release.

I’ve yet to personally confirm the stability of 3.01 emulation It is in fact quite stable; feel free to post your experiences below.

Here are easy to follow instructions, courtesy of comment #40, posted by Steven-style:

  1. Remove all previous DevHook files from your memory stick.
  2. Copy the DevHook 0.51 package to the root of your memory stick. This would be ms0:/ and the two folders should be “dh” and “PSP”.
  3. Download the 3.01 update (search Google) or PSP Hacks.
  4. Get PSARDumper
  5. Extract the DATA.PSAR from the 3.01 update you’ve downloaded with a program such as PBP Unpacker. Once thats done, copy the DATA.PSAR over to the root of your memory stick.
  6. Run PSARDumper on your PSP, once its loaded up press X to dump a sigchecked 3.01. Once its done your PSP will return to the main menu.
  7. Open up your memory stick, you will now see that there is an “F0″ folder in the root. Move that to the “301″ folder inside of “dh”.
  8. Go into the “301″ directory, move the reboot.bin into the f0 folder.
  9. Launch up DevHook and go to “FLASH ROM” settings, choose install dh to flash1. DO NOT touch any of the other settings unless you know what you’re doing.
  10. Finally, choose “FIRMWARE” from the DevHook menu and pick 3.01. Now start DevHook and you should be good to go!

Thanks Steven, and of course BOOSTER — unbelievable job!

You guys are never specific. Does this mean you can decrypt your 3.01 firmware, dump it, and use devhook on it? I don’t understand..

i dont get it, i have a normal 1.50 psp downgraded from a 2.71, i aint got the 2.71 SE or nothing. Is this just the basic Devhook which you copy and paste into the correct folders or before you do that do you have to decrypt some files and what is the 3.01 EBOOT for ????

Currently SE-C newly formated MS.

for some people,. that not understand what to do :

This is a step by step guide for installing the new DevHook 0.51 along with 3.01 firmware:

1. Remove all previous DevHook files from your memory stick.

2. Copy the DevHook 0.51 package to the root of your memory stick. This would be ms0:/ and the two folders should be “dh” and “PSP”.

3. Download the 3.01 update (Google)or this site ;).

4. Get PSARDumper (search this Web site). or this site ;)

5. Extract the DATA.PSAR from the 3.01 update you’ve downloaded with a program such as PBP Unpacker. Once thats done, copy the DATA.PSAR over to the root of your memory stick.

6. Run PSARDumper on your PSP, once its loaded up press X to dump a sigchecked 3.01. Once its done your PSP will return to the main menu.

7. Open up your memory stick, you will now see that there is an “F0″ folder in the root. Move that to the “301″ folder inside of “dh”.

8. Go into the “301″ directory, move the reboot.bin into the f0 folder.

9. Launch up DevHook and go to “FLASH ROM” settings, choose install dh to flash1. DO NOT touch any of the other settings unless you know what you’re doing.

10. Finally, choose “FIRMWARE” from the DevHook menu and pick 3.01. Now start DevHook and you should be good to go!

Enjoy!

Comment by Kador
2006-12-04 16:29:45

To all the clueless people asking if this will work on TA-082 - NO. it won’t. You still need 1.50 or a modified firmware to run it.
It emulates 3.01, which is why you need the 3.01 eboot to extract the firmware.

Comment by Cruiserdude
2006-12-04 16:46:48

Awesome news, this really gets me pumped! My only question is to its workability. Is this a beta like .50, or the full version? That was great to be able to play ISO’s and UMD’s, but was nowhere close to as smooth and usable as .46 emulating 2.71. Is DH .51 running 3.01 just as smooth as .46 running 2.71, or not? I’m really excited to see this, but if it is in fact a beta, I’ll probably wait for the full version. Either way, great work, Booster! Can’t wait to try it out!!

p.s. Does anyone know if the PSX emulator works and if you can run regular PSX ROMs or not?

 
Comment by P$P1.5
2006-12-04 16:47:19

OK for people who dont no DevHook is a firmware sort of “firmware emulator” and an iso loader it DOES NOT upgrade your psp! it only emulates the firmware in this case 3.01. wait for Chaos Zero to give you a rundown. oh and cutos to BOOSTER for this accomplishment.

Comment by Mike
2006-12-04 17:37:49

Does this work with 2.71SE-C, or do I have to downgrade to 1.50 first, to make this work? I ask, because it seems there is some flashing going on, and when 2.71SE was released, I read somewhere that the devhook flashing option should be avoided …
