[Guide] Devhook .51 Install, FAQ, and Help (12/5/06)

[Hardrive]

Intro Intro As many of you can see, devhook .51 has been released. Installation for devhook .50 has been removed from this guide, as it's easier for .51 Well, devhook .51 has been released, its main feature being 3.02 firmware emulation. This guide will walk you through the setup and usage of devhook, without downloading any illegal files. The spoilers for screenshots that you will see in this guide are the screenshots condensed. Click the show button to see the screenshot. As always there is some risk involved with accessing flash and running homebrew. If something goes wrong I, the developers and nobody but yourself are to blame. Warning: Illegal files MAY NOT be linked to or referenced on this site. The same applies for troubleshooting how to load ISO files. Anybody who breaks these rules will receive a ban. If you are confused please read the [QJ] Policy in my sig by clicking the sig picture. Thanks

Installation Methods Installation Methods There are now 2 Devhook installation methods, listed below. Read them, and choose one. Method 1: The all-in-one Eboot Using just this eboot, you can install all the devhook files that you need. Plus, the pack is completly legal, so it CAN be hosted here at QJ. Pros: Extracts DATA.PSAR for you Moves all files for you Removes BSoD error Doesn't require you to flash your PSP Cons: Removes the hands on experience of installing all devhook files yourself HEN-D Users must emulate 1.50 Method 2: The normal way Using this method, you must move the files around on your memory stick yourself, and you must extract your own DATA.PSAR. Pros: Gives you a good hands-on experience Cons: Takes longer More apt to get a BSoD Requires you to flash files. Now choose a spoiler tag below that's labeled the method you'd rather use, and start following it

Yes, either from the launcher, or the VSHEX mod menu. I boot devhook, and all I get is a black screen or a blue your settings or corrupted screen Refollow the guide. It has just been updated, and make sure that you follow close attention to step 18-21, as those changed, and are CRUCIAL. It should work perfectly after that. Sound doesn't work / UMD's don't load This is partially my fault. The first revision of this guide didn't mention replacing the audio.prx with the decrypted one. Please refollow the guide, it's fixed now The internet browser doesn't work If you have correctly installed devhook .51, it should Will SOCOM ftb2 work online? Yes Can I install devhook .46 and devhook .51 on the same memory stick? Yes. However, you can't install devhook .46 and devhook .50. The return to 1.50 mod doesn't work It seems that it isn't supported with this version, sorry. However, read the next question. How do I return to the firmware I'm emulating from? In the XMB, press 'HOME'. Scroll down to Escape Devhook, press 'O' Now, left and right are switched, meaning that right selects Yes, and left selects No. This must be a glitch, because the functions are reversed. (Meaning that Yes won't quit, but No will) Scroll to No, press 'O', and you will arrive at the firmware you started devhook from. Is there a translation of the readme? Yes, here
