Re: Devhook 0.46 (writing to flash memory)

Wow! Im asking for alot of help these days it seems...

This is in relation to devhook 0.46 writing to flash.

Where in the psp consoles flash memory does this version of devhook write to, whenever i go to the flash rom menu?

And why does it speed up the firmware emulation of devhook?

Thanks in advance, bullhead

The flash ROM memory is where your firmware is kept. If devhook writes to it, it's speeds it up because it's faster than your memory stick. There are chances of bricking, however.

i didnt know devhook could brick
Man Video_Freak u know everything, That is probobly why u r the dcemu legend:D

and that's why he's also my hero :)

Im guessing the chances of bricking are to do with the maximum capacity of the Flash memory. There is enough space for the sony firmware, but if you try to put extra things in there like devhook files you use up the amount of free space available. However this should not be a problem as only a few of the devhook settings are implemented so not much space is used.

If what im saying is true, then the sony PSone emulator will possibly be downloadable and the new firmware will just be allowed to run it through the XMB.

Im just speculating to myself here...

interesting thought...how much space does the flash have anyway?

I don't want a thing flashing in front of me.. Since I now have devhook.. What option(s) I should not touch so I am save..?

1.5 firmware takes up 13.9Mb of the psp's internal memory.
2.71 takes up 19.2Mb

Thats as much as I know.

i beleive the nand flash is 32mb, not sure though

I believe it has 32 megs in total.
