No dice for Devhook 0.44 and 0.45

[saarshai]

Well, previously on 0.41 I was able to run UMDs for FW 2.5.

Now I want to run UMDs for 2.6 and up, and I can' seem to do that on the Devhook 0.44 or 0.45. What's more - my 2.5 games also don't run on these versions.
Anytime I want to run a UMD it tells my I have to update the software, which I really don't want to do.

What am I doing wrong?

Do you have 2.71 installed with your devhook ?I've been running 2.6 games no problem

[saarshai]

What do you mean? I have a 1.5 FW. When I want to run a game I choose the 2.6 FW but when I try to run the game the PSP gets stuck. After rebooting I get the massage of "you must upgrade your software" right when the PSP starts.

This happens for both 0.44 and 0.45. I also have a 0.41 spanish version which is able to run 2.5 FW games, but doesn't support 2.6 and 2.71

I mean you actually have to emulate the firmware not flash ie install it with devhook.Have a look in your dh folder and make sure all of the firmware files are there along with reboot.bin,I too have a a 1.5 firmware psp and am using devhook to emulate 2.71.your firmware files will be in the corresponding folder of the firmware you are are emulating so: in dh/2.71 all of files from the dumped firmware are listed

[Video_freak]

ya, make sure you have the firmware dumps in the dh folder

[saarshai]

Thanks.

I DO have the 2.6 and 2.71 files in my "dh" folder. Thing is - when I try to launch the game my PSP doesn't reboot - it get's stuck. Plus, when I reboot it manually - it tells me I need to upgrade - meaning the emulation didn't go as planned). Maybe something in the Devhook setting isn't right.


about the dump -
How do I do that? (and what does it mean? how does it solves the problem?)

[Video_freak]

go to the root of your memory stick. look inside a folder called dh. it solves the problem because if you dont have the firmware dump (extracted files from and update EBOOT from sony), you cant emulate the firmware

[Video_freak]

you should have a flash0, flash1, and an ipl folder for firmwares 2.5 and 2.71. you should only have a flash0 folder for 1.50, 1.50F, and 2.60. you should have a flash0 and flash1 folder in 2.6.

you also need data0.bin, data1.bin, and reboot.bin for 2.00, 2.5, and 2.71

oh ya and you also need a kd folder with prx files inside

Thanx for helping explain that video_freaksaarshai check your private messages and we'll get you straight if you can't figure it out.

[saarshai]

I only have a flash0 in my 2.6 folder, and my 2.5 folder. my 2.71 folder and my kd folder has everything you mentioned.

I was able to run the games on a 2.71 FW. That must have been the problem (previously I tried to load them on a 2.6 FW). BTW - where can I find these dump files for the 2.6 FW?

oh, and THANKS!
