Devhook Launcher Port to 2.71 - (Run V1.5 Homebrew on PSP 2.71)

[wraggster]

Dark Alex is back and he has ported Devhook to v2.71 Firmware, so now you can play V1.5 Homebrew on the higher firmware, heres the news from Dark Alex:


Port of devhook (by Booster) launcher to 2.71 by Dark_AleX.

Only the launcher needed to be ported, since the core prx (devhook.prx) loads fine in hen revision (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=36913)B.

The included version of devhook is 0.45, since 0.46 seems to have problems in emulating 1.50 (this also happens in 1.50)
If you want to use 0.46, you can overwrite the files in the dh folder.

There is no currently firmware installer, so you'll have to get the files for firmwares "magically" :P

Todo:

- 2.71 direct flash (no ms emulation).
Currently not available, because devhook msreboot.bin destroys the "unsign check" that reboot.bin does to the files of flash.

- Port the installer to 2.71

Instructions

- You need Homebrew Enabler for 2.71 revision B (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=36913) (minimum) to run this port.
- Get the files to emulate firmwares yourself.
- Run the pbp with the title "Devhook 0.4X launcher for 2.71". The 1.50 launcher is also included because in the emulated 1.50 you can launch it.

Note: only 1.50 and 2.71 have been tested.
When going from firmware 2.71 to 1.50, you will get the error "Couldn't start game".
Don't worry, this is normal and it is done in purpose as a current temporal solution for reboot.bin parameters being differents in both firmwares.

To all those on v2.71, you now have the chance to use v1.5 homebrew :) welcome.

as with all Devhook releases and anything involving the flash this could brick your console, use extreme caution. Your on your own basically

a reverse devhook
hah!

[splodger15]

this is good to hear

[Video_freak]

Awesome! Welcome everyone to 1.5! :D

[jools]

awesome :D

[BL4Z3D247]

is there full kernel access when emulating to 1.5?

[Video_freak]

is there full kernel access when emulating to 1.5?
I think so, yes. :)

[splodger15]

here is a video of it

[BL4Z3D247]

I think so, yes. :)
wow that's cool

[Video_freak]

Wow! Thanks for the video! :)

[Prasoc]

Wow. Dark_AleX is one amazing hacker/coder :O

[splodger15]

Wow! Thanks for the video! :)


no problem

[D0N]

OMG! This is excellent! Keep up the great work Dark_Alex!

[vladiftodi]

cool, as i said before, hope a 2.81 appears, to be emulated, as i will update to play pop rival swords!! if it wont be created

[JD/]

man dark alex owns i cant wait till he does a dynamic recompiler on the ps1 emu

[vladiftodi]

well, in that video it doesnt show how it changes firmware to 1.5?!

[splodger15]

well, in that video it doesnt show how it changes firmware to 1.5?!


thats the only problem with it

[kando]

um....holy shite :o

[dejkirkby]

I just tried to run this through emulated 2.71 firmware on a 1.5 PSP Basically going from 1.5>2.71>1.5. I got right to the PSP loading gameboot and got an error and rebooted back to XMB.

[MarkNizzle]

man im sorta scared to do this but maaaaaan i sooo wanna be like the 1.50 users sooooooo bad
anybody wanna go over this crap with me so i wont fawk dis up and brick my psp
i got this psp for free and right now i dont have the money to get another one if it mess up ya dig

[BL4Z3D247]

man dark alex owns i cant wait till he does a dynamic recompiler on the ps1 emu
i thought PSmonkey said it wasn't the dynamic recompiler that was making the emu slow, i think it's something else but he didn't go in to detail

man im sorta scared to do this but maaaaaan i sooo wanna be like the 1.50 users sooooooo bad
anybody wanna go over this crap with me so i wont fawk dis up and brick my psp
i got this psp for free and right now i dont have the money to get another one if it mess up ya dig
just run the hen b proggy with the tiff eloader, then run the port of devhook for 2.71, then select 1.5 fw and then select start and the 1.5 XMB should pop up then u can run anything a 1.5 could run...even IRShell :D

This can't brick your PSP. It doesn't access the flash.

[dejkirkby]

This can't brick your PSP. It doesn't access the flash.
This may not, but hombrew launcher that you need to run this does, but only a very tiny amount of files so Brick-ability is relatively null.

[BL4Z3D247]

This can't brick your PSP. It doesn't access the flash.
actually the hen b proggy flashes ur psp, but only the first time it installs after that it doesn't

[MarkNizzle]

well can anyone tell me what not to do so i wont brick my psp i do have a few things on my memory card should i simply formatt and start off fresh
i used alex darkhomebrew for 2.71 also i tried the eloader but that just kept freezing everytime i load

you should just downgrade

[Video_freak]

Why did you copy my sig quote idea BL8Z3D247. :(
Now everyone's going to do it.

[dejkirkby]

Copy all you MS to your comp. Format the MS and go for it. You can then put your stuff back on you MS.

I'm Famous on DCEMu!! You can damn well quote me on that!!!

[carpy]

I got this running on my TA-082 2.71 PSP.

Devhook launcher does get Devhook to run, and Devhook will start 1.50. But nothing runs in 1.50. No homebrewk runs and *ahem* other stuff doesn't run either.

This might be nice when it's finished.

[Zion]

Great news for 2.7 owners :D

[carpy]

Oh, and getting the HEN to run is a giant pain in the ass. It can take up to 5 or 10 reboots before it runs sometimes.

[MarkNizzle]

oh by the way before i start my psp is one of those lame TA-082

[dejkirkby]

Carpy the Hen worked first time for me, although I was doing it on emulated 2.71, rather than flash 2.71.

[SkinnyBoy]

This is great news for all the 2.71 users out there, I wonder whats going to happen though when a game comes out that requires 2.8+ firmware? Will you guys need 2 different devhooks, one to play your 1.5 genesis, snes roms and one to play your umd games?

Just a thought.. but great news for all Ta-082 users!!!

[psychadelicious]

So does this mean i should just upgrade my psp to 2.71 cause i do like the option of having a cutomized background and the extra brightness level of the screen. I have a 1.5 as of now.

why update if you have a 1.5

[mesosade]

i'm just happy with me 1.5 i'm not bothered going to 2.71 thorugh devhook it's not that much work if u ask me

[Video_freak]

why update if you have a 1.5
Maybe so he doesn't have to devhook it? :confused:

[dejkirkby]

There is no point upgrading, The background issue is solved by Theme PSP and all this does is gives 2.71 users the ability to use 1.5.

[zidanerick]

Now hopefully they can concentrate on 2.8 firmware :D

[Video_freak]

Now hopefully they can concentrate on 2.8 firmware :D
They're working on it. :)

[splodger15]

Now hopefully they can concentrate on 2.8 firmware :D

they are concentrating on that

[.:}<3\/!}\{:.]

cool for 2.71 users...but im staying 1.5 forever.

[splodger15]

Maybe so he doesn't have to devhook it? :confused:


yeh but still its best to stay at 1.5

[splodger15]

cool for 2.71 users...but im staying 1.5 forever.

same here

[Video_freak]

cool for 2.71 users...but im staying 1.5 forever.
Woot! :)

[~Tidus~]

So this downgrader will work 100% it can't fail???

[Video_freak]

So this downgrader will work 100% it can't fail???
It CAN, but it won't, unless you pull out the battery in the middle or something.

[splodger15]

So this downgrader will work 100% it can't fail???

this is not a downgrader

[zidanerick]

So this downgrader will work 100% it can't fail???


Its Not a Downgrader, it just lets u emulate the 1.5 firmware

[vladiftodi]

man, u stupid, if a higher firmware cun run all that 1.5 can, and ahem without emulation, why need 1.5? 2.71 has much better things that 1.5

[Rekka1210]

NICE! Now i can use 2.71! Hopefully they continue work on the homebrew enabler so that it can run static elf's

[zidanerick]

man, u stupid, if a higher firmware cun run all that 1.5 can, and ahem without emulation, why need 1.5? 2.71 has much better things that 1.5


So i suppose Devhook isnt an emulator? Well im afraid you are wrong, and i would prefer 1.5 anyday due to the fact that you can run custom firmware etc...

[ReDX]

have just installed Homebrew Enabler for 2.71 (revision B) and worked fine..
now how do i install Devhook Launcher Port to 2.71

[k0pp0]

Yup.. that's my question as well... Ta-082 compatible with this?

I'd also like to know how i can upgrade my PSP to 2.71 (it's running 2.60 at the moment!)

Cheers!

[burrito]

Does this work with ta-082?

[burrito]

In the instructions it says -
Get the files to emulate firmwares yourself.

Where do I get these files??

I already did the first version of the XMB HEN thing. Do I have to do the new one too?

[ReDX]

Works with ta-082 got the Homebrew Enabler for 2.71 (revision B) to install and work..now if only i knew how to Get the files to emulate firmwares yourself.

[burrito]

"Get the files to emulate firmwares yourself"
Is this the devhook?

[burrito]

I opened HEN and got a blue screen.
Then I opened devhook and got a black screen with white text saying something about a error.

What are the files I need?

[mandeep22]

Will anyone experienced tell if it will work on a TA082. Or has someone used it on a TA082

[propmok]

so this only works on 2.71? cuz i dont want to upgrade i have 2.7. and does this work with ta82 mobos?

[burrito]

Is the file you need to emulate 1.5 the 1.5 eboot firmware?

[ReDX]

taco111 > from what i'm reading on other wbsite i looks like thats whats needed but don't take my word for it i'm stuck at the same part as u

[tophead420]

so is this like devhook for 1.5 but only the oppisite 2.71 users can use emulated 1.5 if this is right which i hope i am sony you have finally been beat the psp has ben defeated lmao soooo haaaaaaa take that and great work on this

[burrito]

I opened devhook and it says:
"Error 0x80020148 loading/starting reboot.prx"

What is reboot.prx????

[ripmotor]

it works on tao82.

[Nikolaos]

very noice ^ ^ now... 2.71 base dw or 1.5 ? xD

[poopstain]

ok wtf why doesnt this work for me?
I updated to 2.71 and I installed the HEN but It gets stuck.
Ive tried about 50 time already. It starts because i can see the mem card light flickering but then after a while it either keeps the ligh on and the n turns the psp off or the light completly turns and and then turns my psp off. Can anyone help?
taco111 how did you get it to work? where did you put the files?

[oneman82]

Same thing happened to me man, it'll freeze, at different times each time, but the DevHook Launcher wont run on my 2.71 Ta-082.....I think it's the Tiff exploit not working right, I have tiff exploit games that run fine (tetris, penguin, pong, ect.) but no emulators or homebrew yet......any idea when this tiff thing'll work right?

it should work because i installed the eloader 0.99 TIFF and it works perfectly fine

read the instructions for the XMB thing...

[oneman82]

it should work because i installed the eloader 0.99 TIFF and it works perfectly fine
See I loaded that yesterday and it didn't work either. Same thing, it'd freeze up. Does it matter what else you've got on your memory card?

[poopstain]

read the instructions for the XMB thing...
you mean the README? because i read it already and it says to put all MS_ROOT files in the root of the mem stick but it just freezes my psp and turns it off

[burrito]

I have the 1.5 firmware dump. Which files do I need to copy and where should I put them?

[burrito]

you mean the README? because i read it already and it says to put all MS_ROOT files in the root of the mem stick but it just freezes my psp and turns it off
what firmware is your psp?
it needs to be 2.71 to get the XMB thing to work

[carpy]

HA!!!!


Got it running. You need to find a copy of Devhook .45 with all teh firmwares, I'd suggest a torrent site.

Got it to run DGEN 1.70 on my TA-082 2.71 PSP. Also got it to run *ahem* other things using the loader built into Devhook.

Now if only the HEN wasn't such a pain in the ass to get running. - a few notes on that. The HEN runs more often (for me, anyway) if you use a custom wallpaper, as opposed to the PSP XMB backgound.

[Nightmarus]

I'm new at this...I have already HEN. Could someone explain by details where do I paste the files of Devhook. Just an explanation:confused:

[ReDX]

HA!!!!

Thanx for the heads up found the Devhook .45 full

[poopstain]

yeah i had a 2.6 but i updated it today to a 2.71 and my mobo is a ta-82
mine doesnt even start it just freezes in the menu and the costum wallpaper thing isnt working either

[LAMPRO]

why isnt start+home enough? why go through all this extra stuff taking up a lil MORE space on the ms?

Someone who actually uses this please comment...

Unless this is devhook with homebrew enabled.. meaning when i launch devhook from my 1.5 xmb, it not only loads the umd and whatever but afterwards when i hit home, i get to 2.71 xmb and move to the game menu and find all the 1.5 homebrew game icons too. and they work, with no corrupt icons.

if thats how this is - someone please type WOAH LAMPRO in their reply.

[poopstain]

am i the only person thats not going to get this to run?
so f***ing frusterating. ive tried everything already

[Flatlander]

Mine worked for the first time, now it'll neve work again... Any ideas?!?!?!

[Nightmarus]

I know it's the second time reply the same question. I have HEN flashed.I download Devhook Launcher port to 2.71 and I have the firmware. But the real question is where do I paste the files?

[poopstain]

Mine worked for the first time, now it'll neve work again... Any ideas?!?!?!

try using slideshow didnt work for me but maybe itll work for you
nightmarus how did you get it to work? Mine keeps on freezing, I think ive tried about 100 times already.

Can someone who has it working send me the files for HEN that they have directly from their memstick so I can put it on mine?

[LAMPRO]

yall are nuts. read post 82

if i load devhook 45, fw2.71, hit home and goto game, memory stick, will the hb proggys work? all of em in the 1.5 format?

thats the shizznithaniel - to be able to goto 271 hit home goto game, ms, and load all my brew as if it were 1.5- whos with me!!

[poopstain]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY FUUUUUUCK
YEAHHHH I GOT IT ****ING WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
omg im so happy

[poopstain]

WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?
this is so ghay. i got it woking but somehow it doesnt work anymore!!!!!
WTF?!?!?!?!?!?! im so pissed off

[LAMPRO]

poopstain might need a pamper? why r u buggin about this?
if its too much effort why bother?

you know what- i understand, you never downgraded from 2.71 to 1.5 and now you want the brew that us 1.5 cherish. why not just downgrade and use devhook for what u like about 271 to begin with??????

dude ive waited for this ever since i found out my psp was a ta82

edit
got it working again. where do i put the 1.5fw dump I already have i just need to know where to put it

[burrito]

poopstaain I sent you a PM

[LAMPRO]

ok the mb is diff too. i see = this is like a breath of clean air for you. good luck in the future, and may the force be with you.

[Flatlander]

OK So i get it to DevHook, and i put the flash0 and flash1 folder in the dh/150 firmware folder, and every time i try to boot firmware 1.5 from devhook, my psp just freezes and turns off.. any ideas?

[burrito]

Where do I place all of the 1.5 firmware dump files?

[burrito]

When I got in devhook it says "The game could not be started (80020148)" But then nothing works :(
When I get in stuff it says its corrupted.
Is this supposed to let you play EBOOTs too?

[shrimpidy]

This is AMAZING! :)

[Flatlander]

can someone who has the 1.5 working from devhook send me the dump files? Like in a zipped "150" folder? Would be greatly appreciated.. It seems like ive tried all possible ways to make it work.. if u can send the files, please send to [email protected]. Thank you! (or u could add me to msn and send over that)

[poopstain]

k guys i got devhook working but the only prob is that every time i turn my psp off i have to do the HEN thing because everytime i get to devhook it says it cant be played so i have to do the HEN all over again

[ReDX]

When I got in devhook it says "The game could not be started (80020148)" But then nothing works :(

having the same prob if u figure it out plz share

[ReDX]

k guys i got devhook working but the only prob is that every time i turn my psp off i have to do the HEN thing because everytime i get to devhook it says it cant be played so i have to do the HEN all over again
where did u put the 1.5fw dump files

[Nightmarus]

yeah and what about src folder from devhook?where do we put?

[poopstain]

having the same prob if u figure it out plz share
i think its because it resets the launcher. if you do it all over again it will work. just make sure you dont turn off you psp completly or it resetd again.
the 1.50 fw dump goes in the dh folder in the 150 and you dont do inything withe the src folder just leave it there

[Flatlander]

http://www.youtube.com/v/-tTtt9na5L4

theres a video of whats happening with my psp

[Nightmarus]

Well I run devhook and then I click start and after 30 second it just turn off.

[Juanton3790]

after I take a dump where do I put it? LOL

[jdm69]

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 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?

[eldj]

can this work on firmwares other than 2.71??? it seems that HEN is quite unstable in 2.71 so why not try to make it on lower firmwares 2.5/2.6

[RetroGoth]

so does this work on ta082 or not? I don't want to upgrade my psp just to be another let down.

[jdm69]

so does this work on ta082 or not? I don't want to upgrade my psp just to be another let down.

It seems it works with many TA-82's, but it doesn't for mine. The problem for mine is the Tiff file won't load, although some people say it loads for them after 5-15 times of rebooting. And, to load devhook, you'll have to first load the HEN file (which can take too many tries), and then devhook may not even work...ERG. Most people are luckier than me though, as I have NOTHING working with my TA-82. Oh well, hopefully it will be released later, being more stable next time.

yeah I think I'm going to wait for an update and see what's going on

[jdm69]

Good idea. I wish I would have done the same thing, but I saw a few people that it worked for with TA-82's, so I thought I'd go for it. Now I see there are lots of people who can't get it to work :( Oh well, hopefully there will be a better version coming out.

ok then back to playing game boy color! lol

[YourStillWithMe]

wow haha this is both so cool and so stupid how does this prevent us from updating????? it doesnt! its nice for you 2.71 users who dont want to downgrade but its seriously not helping anyone much in terms of playing new UMD's to you 2.71 users-i'm hapy for you good to see SOMEONE stil gives a damn about devhook. We need 2.81 supported devhook for 1.50 now!

[Sterist]

rite on :)

[razorak]

OMG....i'm wondering if i shud upgrade my 2.6....i hate tough choices....

[vladiftodi]

u should since 2.71 eloader will support kernel mode, but dont upgrade to 2.8 or 2.81! never!!!!!!!

[razorak]

i'm more of wondering if this devhook thing actually works, cos at current stage the tiff eloader isn't as good as the gta eloader. whenever i want to use pspvba or gpsp07 for example, i use GTA instead. If this devhook port really works, i'll upgrade.

[vladiftodi]

man, it will either way! i never had a 1.5 i just got psp. when eloader appeared!

[mr_nick666]

man, u stupid, if a higher firmware cun run all that 1.5 can, and ahem without emulation, why need 1.5? 2.71 has much better things that 1.5

My 1.5 starts in homebrew friendly mode for a start! :p It can do everything the higher firmwares can do too! :rolleyes: 1.5 will be my firmware of choice for all time! ;)

[razorak]

My 1.5 starts in homebrew friendly mode for a start! It can do everything the higher firmwares can do too! 1.5 will be my firmware of choice for all time!


sighz...if only i could downgrade :(

[BL4Z3D247]

sighz...if only i could downgrade :(
why don't u upgrade to 2.71 and use the homebrew patch and devhook for 2.71, then emulate 1.5 and u can play what 1.5 can play

[doan93]

Will he make devhook for FW 2.8??
I upgrade to 2.8 1month ago
hic hic

[eldj]

why don't u upgrade to 2.71 and use the homebrew patch and devhook for 2.71, then emulate 1.5 and u can play what 1.5 can play
even i dont want to upgrade to 2.71 from 2.5 because homebrew is still very unstable in 2.71. maybe it would be better if they just make devhook work with fw 2.5/2.6
edit: changed my mind i will now upgrade to 2.71, ookm just confirmed that he can downgrade a 2.71 ta-082 psp:D

[doan93]

an other question: This devhoock mean 2.71 can run iso??

[dejkirkby]

Noobs stop asking about iso's! Goddamn!!

[eldj]

an other question: This devhoock mean 2.71 can run iso??
no iso talk here, find other forums:D

[doan93]

sorry but will he make devhook for FW 2.8??

[razorak]

who knows

@bl8z3d
well...the hassle of getting the patch done isn't the problem for me, it's more of whether it will work...lol. not to mention kxploiting all my stuff...i'm still thinking about it. but my biggest question would be compatability. Since i'm currently relying on gta eloader to play whatever the tiff eloader can't. upgrading to 2.71 would also allow me to enable flash support. But hear hear...hopefully a 2.6 frenly would be released. btw, would it be wise to try it on a 2.6?? the henb patch and all? :D

This is a huge moment in PSP history, I even updated to 2.71(from 2.60) to try this out and now I am running 1.5, and oh does it feel good.

[mnuhaily22]

who knows

@bl8z3d
well...the hassle of getting the patch done isn't the problem for me, it's more of whether it will work...lol. not to mention kxploiting all my stuff...i'm still thinking about it. but my biggest question would be compatability. Since i'm currently relying on gta eloader to play whatever the tiff eloader can't. upgrading to 2.71 would also allow me to enable flash support. But hear hear...hopefully a 2.6 frenly would be released. btw, would it be wise to try it on a 2.6?? the henb patch and all? :D
You can now also devhook 2.60, which is the same...

[razorak]

so many questions...so many doubts...so much time to think about it :p

[carpy]

so many questions...so many doubts...so much time to think about it :p

The TIFF and GTA .99 eloaders are fully compatible with 2.71 currently. So there's absolutely no reason for anyone on 2.60 NOT to upgrade to 2.71, TA-082 or otherwise.

Then once you upgrad to 2.71, you'll still have all your TIFF and GTA eloader homebrew stuff, you'll be able to run flash, AND you can load up the HEN and the Devhook launcher and run all the stuff that WON'T run on the TIFF or GTA eloaders, like gpSP and DGEN 1.70, etc. because you can emulate the 1.50 bios.

It's really the best of all worlds.

[razorak]

GTA eloader works wif 2.71??! i tot it only worked with 2.6??

[carpy]

GTA eloader works wif 2.71??! i tot it only worked with 2.6??

Oh right, that only works on 2.60. But it's irrelevant, because ALL of the stuff you need the GTA loader to run will run under Devhook, and a whole shitload more too.

[dejkirkby]

Razorak If you upgrade to 2.71 and get the HEN-B and Reverse DevHook working, you will have a 1.5 capable 2.71 PSP, which will have everything that my 2.71 capable 1.5 PSP has. I say go for it and join the 1.5 army.

[carpy]

It is currently a GIANT pain in the ass getting the HEN to run, due to the instability of the TIFF though.

Hopefully soon they'll patch that so it works every time, or create a loader for it that runs from the TIFF eloader like any other homebrew.

[razorak]

that's the second thing...i ain't too sure how to get it working...ar well...if any1 know where a tutorial is posted pls pm me. in the meantime i'm gonna go to bed. no point losing sleep over it...lol. I've got all the files i need on my psp already..all it needs are my fingers though i must say, firmware dumps take up a rather big chunk of memory.

Good lord i'm still thinkng...lol

[carpy]

And as soon as I posted my whining, Dark_Alex releases a revised HEN B update that's more stable.

Worked the first time out. Damn!!!!

[canwemakelove]

hellp meeeeeeeeeeee plz some1- wr do u put the 1.5 an 2.71 fw, can sum plz take me thru a detailed description of wat to do

[carpy]

As I said before in this thread, it's easier if you just find a copy of Devhook .45 with all the firmwares already in it. Try a torrent site, or google.

[kando]

firmware dumps take up a rather big chunk of memory.

only 18.2 megs a pop or so :)

btw, can anyone help?

i have dark_alex modded 1.50....but for some reason i cant devhook 1.50, even tho i got the dump....psp just crashes. tried w/ dh .45 and .46 :(

any ideas? i got reboot.bin n everything....

thanks :D

[mandeep22]

yeah I think I'm going to wait for an update and see what's going on
I have searched and there is no ta0082 owner confirming that they can run umds or is* . ANd can anyone just guide how to EMULATE 1.5

[kando]

from 2.71, run the homebrew enabler program....the first time u run it, ull get a red or a green screen....u must run this program until you get a green screen.....after that, future times you will always get a blue screen, so no worries.

after that runs, the xmb will reset....download and run devhook for 2.71....if u want the full release w/ the d*m* of 1.5 just pm...*coughs* and then voila. done.

[carpy]

I have searched and there is no ta0082 owner confirming that they can run umds or is* . ANd can anyone just guide how to EMULATE 1.5

Yes I have confirmed ALL of this 3 or 4 times now.

YES everything you're asking about runs on a TA-082 once you get it set up.

YES! YES! YES! Does that answer your question?

As far as a guide - simple - download the HENB, and the Devhook launcher from Dark_Alex's site. I posted it here already. Then find a copy of Devhook .45 with the firmwares. There are other sites that have it. We can't tell you where to get that specifically on this site, but it's not that hard people.

Once you get all that stuff, follow the instructions, and install it.

then run it.

Enjoy.

[Zion]

Idea....2.71 users could technically update to 2.0 when in 1.5 firmware?

[dejkirkby]

Good idea, but with the PSP flash still having 2.71 that would be a MASSIVE risk, wouldn't it?

Thanks man. Anyhow i found the problem was henb wasnt loading while any umd was in drive secondly after running devhook and selecting the game file i wanted to play i wasnt pressing home (hold) button and than press L or R . so i wasnt geting to emulation menu. And note that after the menu insert any umd and play any game. and u can insert anyumd . Now my TA082 plays everything and that includes what we cannot mention here .

[carpy]

Yeah, I've noticed this too.

The HENb rev. 2 doesn't like to run when there's a UMD in the drive. Don't understand why, but it's more often successful when the drive is empty.

[dejkirkby]

Spread the word to all the TA-082 owers 1.5 is available to all!! (except 2.8/1 users)

[jdm69]

Spread the word to all the TA-082 owers 1.5 is available to all!! (except 2.8/1 users)

For whatever reason, 1.5 is NOT available for me :( I've been trying since yesterday with no success.

Here's the problem:

I ran HenB and first time I got the blue then green screen, then my psp shut off about 15 seconds later. Now, with the new revision of HenB, I get the blue screen to show up every time, but instead of restarting to the xmb, the psp just shuts off after about 10 seconds or so. This happens every time, not once has HenB restarted to the XMB.

I have a TA-82, 2.71 psp, and it seems to work for everyone, so I don't get what the problem is? Is there anything special that I need to do for HenB to restart after the blue screen is shown?

[RetroGoth]

Spread the word to all the TA-082 owers 1.5 is available to all!! (except 2.8/1 users)


omg woot!

[jdm69]

Ok, now I am just jealous. I tried installing everything on my brother's 2.71 TA-82 psp, and everything worked fine on the first try! Something is obviously screwy with my PSP :(

Could HENB have someone not flashed the files correctly on my PSP? That's about the only thing I can think of, because other than that, our PSP's would be identical. Anyone know how to get HENB to reflash?

[M!ckeY]

@ jdm69

i doubt that the files where not flashed correctly, maybe the files where not even flashed at all

[jdm69]

If they weren't flash at all, wouldn't I have got a red screen? I got the green screen, which would mean that everything worked, correct? Like I said, I always get to the blue screen, but the PSP just won't restart to the XMB.

Also, I'd think that if the files weren't flashed to the psp, I would continue to get the red screen, or some point get the green screen. I'm not a hundred perfect sure how it all works, but obviously HENB thinks the files are flashed? I don't know at this point...too stressed out.

[M!ckeY]

have you tried loading any of the .prx files that where included in the download to see if the files where really flashed?

[jdm69]

Yes, the games boot up and look like they are going to work, then I get a screen that says something like "This game cannot be started." So, technically it begins to boot the .prx file, but comes up with the error.

[M!ckeY]

i don't think it even loads the .prx files, i think that the files load after the psp video plays, because that's when the memory stick light begins to flash.

[jdm69]

Technically, it wouldn't be able to load the .prx files though unless HENB was able to run correctly. Because I always get to the blue screen and my psp shuts down, HENB is never loaded into the memory and therefore the .prx files are not able to run. Why my psp shuts off after the blue screen, I don't know.

[M!ckeY]

i assume you have also tried removing all the files and then putting them back on to your memory stick, if not do that.

sorry for not being of any help, but i got to go..

[jdm69]

Ya, I've tried that several times...
I also tried removing my battery, reformatting, and a number of other suggestions that people recommended. Nothing has worked. I just don't get why it would work on my brothers psp, and not mine when they are the same, that's why I think something went wrong with the flash, but maybe I'm completely wrong.

No problem with not being able to help me though, thanks for the help anyways. (It is more help than anyone else has given me so far).

I'll keep looking up info to see if I can find a solution..

[k0pp0]

Hmm.. I get the same problem. Worked for the first time this morning (ejected UMD and drive door closed), rebooted the PSP so I could try it again.. No joy.. Seems a little unpredictable..

*edit* damn thought I had it there after re-writing the files to the memory stick.. It worked again, then failed..

[dejkirkby]

The TIFF is unpredictable at best. The only thing you can do is keep trying. For some it works straight away, for others it takes ages!

[shrimpidy]

This is sicl but i am having trouble

[k0pp0]

Right.. think I've sorted it. download the HenB2 file from DAX's site and install that.. Works everytime for me now.

*edited*

[savel0vepark]

i have a 2.8 now and am going to best buy with my warranty to try and exchange it for a 2.6/.7 what do u guys think?

also how do u intsall the emulator i have bitcomet now downloading the games what els do i need?

[bbrewer01]

do you use the 1.5 update eboot for devhook? Or is it a special eboot i have to use. I got everything running but it won't load the 1.5 update eboot.

[bbrewer01]

nevermind that last commet, I got it to work! I now have a ta-082 2.71 psp with emulated 1.5, i can't believe it works! Great job!

[blu3crystal]

some one please help me
i replace the flash folders files on 150
i use reboot.bin form 2.6 that i found
dont know nothing replace kd *.txt plain modded config files so i do nothing about that
devhook crash every time i start

nb i use 1.5 japanese dump files

pls help me

[jdm69]

Still haven't got HENB past the blue screen...

The only problem that there could be would have to be with the files that were flashed to my psp. The reason I say this is because I used my same pro duo on my brothers psp and HENB worked like a charm. Therefore, something had to go wrong with the flashing of the files...

Would there be any way on a 2.71 to remove those files so that HENB can write them again (obviously it still thinks they are there (maybe they are, possibly one getting corrupted?, or else it would be showing me the red or green screen I'd imagine).

So, does anyone know how to remove those files from the flash, or would I need to contact Dark_Alex to find out about that? Does anybody know how to contact Dark Alex? (Because if he knows how to write the files to flash, he could probably remove them easily I'd image).

[imclumzy]

My first post here and hopefully this will lend a helping hand to other slow people like myself. I just got a PSP recently so all this homebrew, devhook, firmware stuff is all new to me. But I do come from a PS2 modding background.

Complete Newbie (really I am) to Devhook on 2.71 TA-082

Before we start, a big cheers to Dark_Alex, Booster, et al for their tireless work!

To get this to work I had to do 3 things to get it installed:

1. Upgrade my TA-082 2.50 original PSP to the 2.71 firmware.
I had to find the Eboot firmware on the dl.qj site. I hope it's okay if I post a link, I don't think it's illegal as it's an official firmware --> Download 2.71 Firmware (http://dl.qj.net/Firmware-2.71-Firmwares-PSP/pg/12/fid/8046/catid/163)
Take the eboot.pbp file and put it on your memory stick in the /psp/game/UPDATE folder (create the update folder). On the PSP XMB menu goto the Game -> Memory Stick icon and scroll down the list looking for the 2.71 firmware update icon. Select it and follow the onscreen instructions.

2. Install the HENB2 homebrew.
Download Dark_Alex's Homebrew Enabler for 2.71 (Revision B) with better binary loading (http://dax.lan.st/henb2.rar) from his site. Install it on your PSP as per the instructions in the README.TXT file. Read it carefully. Also there's a slight chance of bricking your PSP here as it writes to flash. Didn't happen to me but proceed with caution.

Abridged version is:
a. Copy MS_ROOT to your MS
b. In XMB -> Photo enter the HENB folder
c. You'll see a blue screen then a green screen (GOOD), red screen (BAD). If red repeat until green.

Hardware reset will clear the HENB goodness, so you have to run HENB everytime. When your PSP is in sleep mode you don't need to rerun.

Feel free to delete psppbtknf*.txt, psptknf_update and systemctrl.prx in the root of your ms and NOTHING ELSE.

3. Install Devlauncher271_2 on your MS

Download the binary from this post from Dark Alex's site here (http://dax.lan.st/devlauncher271_2.rar). Install it as per the readme271.txt file. It's a little cryptic so I'll explain.

a. Put the folders/files from the MS_ROOT dir, onto your PSP MS. There's a dh folder and 3 folders that go in the psp/game directory.
b. You need to get firmwares for 1.50 and 2.71. This is the part that's "tricky" because it's not included in the file. I searched the net and "found" them somewhere but when tried it didn't work. I searched elsewhere and found a set that worked. All I can say is search torrents and elsewhere (as an aside I love usenet, alt*ahem*binaries*cough*sony.psp).
c. Install the firmwares into the dh directory on your MS.

The start procedure is as follows:
1. Start the PSP to the XMB
2. Goto Photo and run the HENB2 if you haven't already. You get the blue screen and it reboots the PSP to the XMB
3. Goto Game -> Memory Stick and select the devhook launcher 4xx one ... not the 0.46 one.
4. It'll give you the PSP start game thing and you should see the devhook by booster black menus!

Yay! Your PSP's been h4x0red!


Now What??

I have to admit that when I saw the devhook screen I was pretty happy that it worked but I had no idea what I was supposed to do. We can't talk about some "i*o things" so I won't.

I was actually just hoping to get to a 1.50 firmware XMB screen and I was having problems. Here's what I did.

1. From the devhook menu, select Firmware and select 1.50. Press circle and it will bump you back to the main devhook menu
2. Select Start and press circle
3. The screen will go black and you should see the MS red led flashing. If it doesn't or turns off after a few seconds then the firmware you selected is no good. Try to find another firmware and put it in the dh folder.
4. You will then see that pink/red XMB and you're in 1.50!!! Pat yourself on the back.

Devhook again

From the 1.50 XMB start the 0.46 devhook launcher again. Goto Game -> Memory Stick and select Devhook 0.46 launcher. You'll be back at the devhook menu.

From here you can jump to the 2.71 firmware by going to Firmware and selecting the 2.71. Press circle and from the devhook main menu select start. You'll be at a red/ping 2.71 XMB.

To load a "thing" devhook menu menu goto UMD Select and pick your thing. Hit Start and you're back at the 1.50 XM. Select Game -> UMD.

What I don't know
- From devhook to 1.50, can you only load 1.50 things or newer as well from the 1.50 XMB?
- From devhook to 1.50 and devhooking again to 2.71 ... what can you do? I can't mount a "thing"
- From the devhook to 1.50, can you load homebrews like GPSP0.7?

I have to admit that I've just scratched the surface of this stuff and I'm sure great features will be coming out soon that are better. However, I don't know where to find more help on this. Any clarifications would be much appreciated.

[postaboy7]

Can some1 please break down to me how i can emu 1.5 on my 2.71 psp pleas?
I have never tried before and all the descriptions explain it as if i already know how.
Please tell me in a step by step way and were to get the software, as i cant send private messages and i have already got like 5 homebrews that i cant use?
Thanks

[the zack]

dude devhook doesnt work anymore... when i try to open the tiff it just freezes and wont show the blue flash then reboot...

[UrbanRacerX]

well i have the 2.71 firmware with the TA-082 mobo and everything is woking fine i can play everything that 1.5 do and when i say everything is everything :D Darkalex thanks the only thing that i cant do or maybe im not sure is playing connected via usb to my pc using the dexloader
anyone have info on this:confused: :confused: :eek:

[Shrygue]

I have 2 PSP consoles. A black one with Firmware 1.00 (Downgrade history: 2.50 > 2.70 > 2.71 > 1.50 > 1.00) and a white one with FW 1.50 (Downgrade history: 2.60 > 2.71 > 1.50). Maybe I should upgrade one of them and check out Devhook via that Homebrew Enabler (Revision C). Just hope I don't land up with a bricked machine, though.

[wolfrainxd]

Thanks alot imclumzy, I got devhook to work on my fw 2.71 T-082. Your faq guide really helps!!
