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:
- Remove all previous DevHook files from your memory stick.
- 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”.
- Download the 3.01 update (search Google) or PSP Hacks.
- Get PSARDumper
- 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.
- 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.
- 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”.
- Go into the “301″ directory, move the reboot.bin into the f0 folder.
- 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.
- 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..
tested and working GOOD!
doesnt this require some flashing that might brick ta82s? or is it safe?

can someone upload the extracted files becouse my 1gb memomry stick is dead:( i only have 32 mb
Does this work with Ta-082 stock 2.6 that was upgrade to 2.71?
yup, BOOSTER is gettin sued for this one O_O. Great job man, good to know you’re back and got some great new work running. Be prepared for 4.00 XD
OMFG !!! Now I feel like calling into work. LOL
Much thanks to BOOSTER for this. I’m amazed at the height of this acheivment.
I’m still having real issues trying to install this on 2.71SEC. Can anyone confirm that they have had this working on Custom Firmware? If so can you publish a tutorial on how to install - all instructions are a bit g@sh for this so far.
can you read the read me file? i cant :( so i dont know what to do
couldsome please upload the dectypted files f0 (if you decrypt is becouse if got a 32 mb memory stick:(
we need cz to make a ultimate installer. gd work booster!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
THANK YOU
yees you’re the man BOOSTER!!!!!!
SONY=OWNED
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!1111
Booster strikes again.
Now let’s wait for ChaosZero to make an Ultimate Installer for this awesome piece of sh1t.
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 ????
Most brilliant BOOSTER.
Nice work there man. Shweeeeet.
Is this DH-file a full install, or do I need to have another DH pre-installed on my MS? And if so which one is best in regards to ISO/CSO compability?
Currently SE-C newly formated MS.
Well youve out done even me, I guess i should give you somthing in the respect ………. Bing bang finger snapped….. Tomorrow you will bone Carmen Electra
Let me get this thing straight..Does this Devhook upgrade your system to 3.1? If not, what’s the 3.1 eboot for?
BOOSTER YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
TAKE THAT SONY YOU BASTARDS!
I knew this would come out today………..only because I was up till 3 A.M. looking for it. AWsome job guys/gals
w00t you da man booster….now i cant read the readme and cant be bovered to research so plz…make an ultimate installer as well…i love you guys!!!
hahaha, anything sony can do booster can do… better!

Yes, I got that message too, not sure how to fix it, ive tried all other mhz speeds, but got nothing?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? anyone have a solution.
BOOSTER KING! WE LOVE YOU
BOOSTER…
you make me cry…. who the hell are you ??? SCE will offer you a job, no man… we need you….
Booster is Ken Kutaragi himself!
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!
i go in 301 directory but there is no BIN so i can copy in F0
yo man. i got the same prolem as you . did you find out how to sort it?
me neither what is wrong???
i did tihs but i didn’t work what am i doing wrong also waht is the ms0 folder
when i launch PSARdumper on the psp it turns off
Oh man. Booster is quite amazing :) Can’t wait to try it out…Thanks Booster!
He he, I would bet some of the hardcore PSP devs are original PSP devs.
NICE WORK BOOSTER!!!!
I salute you once again BOOSTER!! AWSOME!!!!
Confirmed to be working with 2.71SE-C I’ve got it running on 2 PSP’s bothe with SE-C
I Had DevHook .50 and i had all kinds of problems with the web browser, are these problems still present? I don’t wanna get my hopes up and get it and find out it don’t work. Please someone let me know if the web browser function works in here….
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.
holy freakin crap this is why i love my psp i can have my cake (hombrew) and eat it to (uptodate games)
Does this turn my 1.5 into a 3.01 so if I dont like it I can’t go back to 1.5?
but devhook works for the ta-082 to emulate 1.5-2.7 why wouldn’t it work for 3.1
@#36
Wifi only seems to work at the default cpu speed, not 333mhz.
when you mean default, do u mean 233/133 mhz
nice work booster, that was faster then getting wendy’s fast food :D
Awesome, BOOSTER!!! Are you Dark_Alex’s COPY??? :D
GOOD WORK!!! Pretty good! Well done!
I don’t know what to say…LOL I read an article saying: “DevHook is dead - I will never be able to emualte 3.00/3.01…” :(
And know…I’m happy!!! :)
Thank you! ;)
@51
what isnt?
that riff is fucking tasty.
WOW, a major company just got PwNeD by the homebrew community. DH.51 Hells Yeah!!
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?
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.
very nice, booster just kicked sony’s ass…once again \o/
thanks, nice release.
Great Find!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE THIS PSP!!!
PSP = fully hacked!
Hi,
Is this officially safe to use? or is it still a tester and may kill the psp? :|
any bugs found when emu to 3.01?
i hope they make an ultimate instaler
i’m trying to wait for the ultimate installer version. this thing is gonna rock. but whats the deal with the PS1 emu? i thought that came with this version…
cool i havent tried this yet but this is too all 2.71 TA-082
users: devhook .5 works with hend but u have to hex edit it, so im guessing this one will work too. we just have to wait for a hex edited one.
Is it possible to use this for HEND 2.71?
we’re one step closer to the playstation one emulator with this release. Im fairly sure someone talented dev within the homebrew community will hack the official sony ps1 emulator to work in accordance with DH.51
….PREY…TO…THE…BOOSTER..AND..DARK_ALEX…
OMG IT WORKS PERFECTLY !!!!! JUST FOLLOW #40 and ur brain AND ITLL WORK .. I GOT IT TO WORK AND EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY ..BROWSER TOO!!! OMG BOOSTER I LOOOOVE YOU!!!
comon booster give sony a chance lol
@66- Then, all dreams of hacking anything will be complete!
Great Job Booster!
And is it possible to do this without writing to the flash? Im not sure if I want to… Ive had really bad luck with the flash, and dont have 2.71SE
please make devhook for 3.0 firmware!
RANDOM: can someone pleez e-mail the guy who made this website. I think he should make a psp formatted psp-hacks website. Just say so if u agree.
whats the certificate utility? i got it working ITS REALLY COOL.. 68 is right just follow #40
Syboi, your an idiot.
3.01 is 3.0. You don’t need 3.0.
Make your own damn web site.
to #71 i think thats a good idea but it wouldent work to well for downloading stuff sence u cant use most of these files as soon as there downloaded…but still i think it would be a good idea
Flawless!
when are 2.71 ta-082 psp going to get a launcher. i’m still waiing for a launcher for devhook 0.5
When 3.01 loads up it just comes up with the system info corruped thing (the blue screen) and wen i press circle the memory stick flashes for a second then the screen goes black for 4 seconds then it turns off?!?!?! WFT? its just not working
booster = god

For you ppl that aint got the room to DUMP it
Very very nice done by Booster!
Still buggy on some games, aspecially on corupting save files, but who cares.
He will fix everything for sure :)
Anyone know if this works on on a standard 2.71 and not the se-c?
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 …
DOES IT RUN THE OFFICIAL SONY PS1 EMULATOR!?!?!?
in the directions, what do you mean to save it to the root of the memory stick?
