1st FW2.82 UMD Game DOESN'T work with DevHook ?

[tragedie]

dejkirby... you are aware that makes all emulation illegal, and we might as well pull all the SNES, NES, even ATARI emulators off right now?
Not supporting, just saying, for some games with ridiculous load times, it only makes sense, and if you actually used the UMD ripper program yourself.... yeah.

Those are actually illegal too. Well the emulators themselves maybe not so much if they don't pull code from the original hardware, however the ROM
"backups" aren't supposed to be made either. Its just that sensible want to share these games (NES is over 20 years old) with the newer generation lest they be forgotten. There's a group of people who are trying to preserve our cultural history by creating these ROM images. In the music industry, songs are deemed free 80 years after they've been released, so we can enjoy Bach, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky free of charge. I'm not so sure if software is the same way for console games... yet. More on Abandonware

The whole "its ok if you own it thing" is just to make people not feel so bad about it, check the EULA, we're not allowed to make copies. Really it just depends on whether or not the developers care if you're doing it or not. How many gamers will buy a cartridge of Biker Mice from Mars are you going to buy at Toys R Us tomorrow? My guess is, not very many (the answer is closer to zero). I don't think the game makers are going to be too angry since they wouldn't earn a penny if it was bought at a flea market so they probably wouldn't sue you for having a ROM. Some developers/publishers don't care. Sony does. (Especially if its for their brand new game system that's causing them to hemorrhage money).

But lets be honest, if you're an honest person who is going to backup a game so that you can play it on your memory stick (which loads faster than if it were from UMD by the way) and you don't share it with anybody, who is going to know? So keep it to yourself and nobody gets hurt.

well devhook was developed so quick it could have flaws...and does it make a difference if dev hook is in the flash?

[Festizzio]

I could have sworn booster said there were still some bugs with the 3.xx emulation, maybe this is one of them? Or an indirect effect of one of them?

[gunntims0103]

i just relized something..

Devhook can never be finalized or come out of beta stage until sony has officailly stopped making psp firmware updates.

Booster could intern finalize devhook .51 and finish it up.

Devhook is still in beta stage so i just think this game not working is just a bug within devhook not a block that sony cae up with to block devhook...

Star Wars: Lethal Alliance runs just fine on Devhook .51.... but I'll have to say, it really sucks. The game wouldn't even entertain a 5 year old.

There is something immoral about EULAs. Common knowledge states that when I pay for an item, it is mine to do whatever I want with. If I want to buy UMD's just to make a necklace out of them, then that is my choice. Once I pay for a game, it ceases to be Sony's property. It becomes mine...($#@!s shotgun) now get off my property, Sony.

I don't support piracy, but I firmly believe that what one does in their own house is their own business. So, in my book, you are free to go about your business.

Yes. I have looked into it. It is illegal. Everytime you open a game package you have bought, you agree to a document called EULA (End User Licence Agreement). This stated taht you have purchased the right to use this game in the format it is supplied. You are NOT allowed to make copies of it, in any format, whether for back-up purposes or not. By making a cpoy you are breaking the terms of the agreement as well as the law.

Ok, to settle this dispute once and for all (I HOPE!), this is the exact wording from the EULA agreement for the PSP: "You may not copy (except to make one necessary back-up copy), distribute, sell, auction, rent, lease, loan, modify or create derivative works (other than Custom Content to be solely used with the Game), adapt, translate, perform, display, sublicense or transfer all or any portion of the Game. You may not copy any of the written materials accompanying the Game."

This means you can make a back up copy of your games, meaning you can make an ISO copy of the games legally.

So please guys, stop arguing, this is getting childish. Just read the rules, its pretty cut and dry

Good find. I retract part of my statement. you are allowed a back-up copy, but not an ISO.
And yet again, everybody jumps down the throat of the person trying to keep this site legal. I'm well aware that the majority of people use ISO's with DevHook, but keep it to yourselves. Stop coming on the forums with ISO talk for the love of God.

capcom classic collection reloaded has does not work in 0.51.0 emulating 3.02
