DevHook UMD Version v0.41d (Play Newer UMD Games on v1.5 PSPs)

[Squidman]

Guys updating during Firmware emulation WILL NOT WORK! Also, it won't brick your PSP. It won't let you update. REMEMBER, DevHook has been out almost a month before the patch came out to allow this site to put it up. Don't you think it would've been tried before? Well it has, and it doesn't do anything.

Also, the reason you can't run a 2.6, 2.7, or 2.71 DATA.PSAR through the DevHook firmware installer is because 2.6+ have a different encryption which hasn't been cracked (yet, but because of the kernel access on 2.6, the encryption will be found soon, because it is kept in the kernel memory space). Since there's a different encryption, the firmware installer wouldn't work on it because it would try to decrypt it with the encryption keys for 2.5 and below, which are different.

That's wierd, it doesn't let you update...........are you sure that it was set to 222MHz for CPU speed?

This has the same compatibility as the original 0.41d release.

[Squidman]

So it should let you update is what your saying isn't it?

[jas0nuk]

No.

EVERYONE: Updating will NOT work, as BOOSTER did not include NAND EMULATION which is needed by the UPDATER. This is a SAFETY FEATURE, as the PSP Updater contains it's own embedded code which would bypass the emulation and would BRICK YOUR PSP.

Even if updating did work, DevHook would not be able to load it, as it does not have the required decryption keys, or the patches to be able to accurately load the firmware.

EDIT: When I was talking about compatibility, I was talking about game compatibility. i.e, any UMDs that didn't work in the original ISO-able DevHook 0.41d will not work in this release.

Thank you for clearing that up, now all of us (non-coding people) shall play the waiting game to wait for further FW emulation

[jas0nuk]

No problem

[Squidman]

Atleast we can all still have fun on 2.5 with the games that require it.

Being that your logged on, and you've helped answer some questions how bout one more: I've heard that some 2.6 games will boot.....will the DBZ game boot?

My CPU speed is 222Mhz but that wouldn't matter!

Yeah he was right ^

BTW, yes, I think DBZ does work.

[Squidman]

BTW, yes, I think DBZ does work.

Thanks again, i'll rent it and give it a try, I know it requires 2.6, so it'll still boot on an emulated 2.5, how will i know if it doesn't work

My CPU speed is 222Mhz but that wouldn't matter!

Ok, that was cleared up a few posts ago, but please remember that i haven't explored it like coders/hackers, so i won't know everything that people on this site are talking about
