Hey all.. Im seeing a few threads start up, alot of confusion, alot of wondering this and that.

This thread, please keep all your talks about Dev hook 43 and 2.60 firmware loading here. Get all info, trade things etc, gonna try to keep it organized here till a solid method is out, everything is known and reported about etc.

(Whereas 2.50 we know is nice and stablish)

So as for the Install Dev hook thread, it stays open as once a guide is know.. that post will be updated. So for now, keep all questions, dicussions, thoughts and wonders in this thread. Thanks. =)

**CoBrA2168** · 07-10-2006, 09:53 PM

Good idea, since you closed like 4 threads in the last 30 seconds

EDIT: Copied from: Some Devhook issues...

First off i have the newest version. Secondly, im no n00b :P

I just wanted to make sure these are common problems...

1. I can't load any UMD game when emulating v2.60 using 333mhz. I get to the gameboot then it freezes up. (tested socom - v2.00 and world tour soccer demo - v2.60)

2. Wifi with 333mhz doesn't work when emulating v2.50 (tested socom). I get a connection error after i select my network setting. I didnt try 222mhz with v2.50 though. It does work, however, with v2.00 (tested socom)

3. Emulating v2.60 seems a little slower than when emulating the others (tested all at same frequency - 222mhz)

Are all of these errors common?

Thanks,

cobra2168

Help anyone?!?!?

I can't get the cheat device for GTA to load on devhook when emulating 2.6 firmware.

Opium · 07-10-2006, 10:02 PM

My save game for Loco Roco corrupts when using devhook 0.43

Other people are experiencing this too. Any ideas on what to do? (anyone not having a problem? what files/packs did you use)

**Syphon** · 07-10-2006, 10:05 PM

CheatDevice 1.0d works for me with 2.6 emulation.

tomei · 07-10-2006, 10:15 PM

Yup, I have problems with GTA game saves corrupting and scrambled text. It freezes and locks up as well. The home function does not work and freezes at the Please Wait.. screen.

I think you should revert to an older version of devhook like I did or wait for Booster to update devhook. Devhook 0.42a was the most stable for me and the home function also worked.

I tried multiple full versions of 0.43 devhook and even installed a fresh version by installing the firmware from a 2.6 eboot. It still corrupts game saves for me.

Opium · 07-10-2006, 10:29 PM

I hope Booster can fix this problem with corrupting saves. I really want to play my Loco Roco UMD :-/

**miniskaterkid** · 07-10-2006, 10:54 PM

Where does the 'tool' folder go?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Nowhere, I think thats just for the devs.

**manias** · 07-10-2006, 11:35 PM

the tool folder goes on ur pc :P

redsun615 · 07-10-2006, 11:50 PM

apparently 3 of my savegames got corrupted....ghost in the shell, megaman mav hunter x and loco roco...

i've tried premade 0.43's and i've complied a 0.43 by myself...same results...save game corruptions

i think i'll wait for a new patch/version to come out

heh

**dbz11_2000** · 07-10-2006, 11:51 PM

I noticed
- Added a shortcut key for exiting DevHook when rebooted.
in the post on the front page, but I haven't been able to figure it out, what's the shortcut key?

tomei · 07-10-2006, 11:59 PM

Hit the Home key then press L+R+up and press X on the yes option.

**Rigg3L** · 07-11-2006, 12:29 AM

well, i dumped 2.6 on my MS and now for some reason i cant even get 2.6 to emulate!? i dunno someone help

ive tried afew different settings and all, plz help... my current settings are:

reboot XMB; umd-iso (blank); umd-mode umd disc; flash 2.60; umd ver. 2.xx -> 2.00; clock 222/111; remote: remote controller

3elevenX · 07-11-2006, 12:35 AM

I tried Chaos Zero's pack, PlanetPSP's pack, and my own of DevHook .43
Each time resulted in the same problems -- saved files having issues with text corruption, as well as the actual save being corrupted periodically.

This is on my original PSP 1.5

Opium · 07-11-2006, 01:28 AM

So there definately are save problems.

I hope a new version is released soon to fix this.

buggy.teh.cl0wn · 07-11-2006, 02:49 AM

Well i got a question as well, tough i haven been getting this since i started using DevHook which was 0.42. My backupped games crash when i want to close them. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

**Hellcat** · 07-11-2006, 03:30 AM

Is the save issue definately related to devhook itself, or maybe to the emulated firmware?
I.e. does it also corrupt saves when emulating a 2.50?

I'm playing around with DH.43 for some time now, even made my own 2.60 "dump" to use with it.

I didn't get a single issue so far, everything works nicely. (Except the slightly messy text when saving....)
Listening to the sample RSS feed right now

No freezes and no corrupted saves (yet).

I'll try to save a bit more, maybe I can reproduce and investigate on my PSP

I've got the same problem and it would be nice to know what the problem is.

Also, did you install DevHook like this:
v. 0.42
v. 0.42b
v. 0.42b exit to 1.50 mod
v. 0.43

If you did, that might be the problem.

**Hellcat** · 07-11-2006, 04:32 AM

You got the right (worky) reboot.bin for the 2.60 dump?
AFAIK without that it has no chance of running....

DenLion · 07-11-2006, 04:41 AM

I've done everything accourding to the guides and devhook 0.43 starts perfectly. I changed all the settings to the correct ones but when the UMD should autostart the PSP goes into a blank screen and nothing happens. The UMD disc won't load at all.
What is wrong?

hotrocks · 07-11-2006, 05:17 AM

ok, well when i click the web browser the little loading thing in the corner pops up, and thne nothing happens...thats messed up..also, when i put it to sleep, the light keeps blinkin until it resets.,....pm me or email me (mcgold@comcast.net) if you can help

**FLai** · 07-11-2006, 05:27 AM

Yeh, Web Browser doesn't work yet. I don't care you can use 2.5 for the Web Browser. 2.6 should really only be about the games

**Coldbird** · 07-11-2006, 05:33 AM

i knew why i didnt upgrade to devhook 0.43 yet :P

There are always starting problems with each versionchange... thats why i wait for 0.43a to be released atleast...

Something new brings new trouble... thats well known... and due to all my games i have running fine on devhook 0.42... :-)

im in no hurry...

Gonna wait until everythings fixed up...

uhh? what? My web browser works fine when emulating v2.60....

tomei · 07-11-2006, 10:07 AM

Booster has made a fix for the game saves problem. It is devhook 0.43 100.

**Mysticales** · 07-11-2006, 11:06 AM

Fyi, DevHook .44 Guide/FAQ was a guide starting up it seems.

**Garak** · 07-11-2006, 11:44 AM

I have had the same trouble as everyone else concerning game saves and garbled text. This problem occurs when I play the UMD and the ISO of GTA.

However, for GTA, I noticed another problem, and I was wondering if anyone else can confim. When I play GTA, it seems like the vehicles do not control quite right. When you get going fast, it is REALLY easy to peel out. On one of the Rice rocket motorcyles, you almost cannot steer its gets so bad. Has anyone else noticed this?

up0076.lzh - devhook 0.43.0100 file broken fix

Maybe an answer to the broken save problem, dunno.

Kybos · 07-11-2006, 12:12 PM

Even though the .43 thread has been consolidated, there seems to be a lot of confusion.

Which verison of Devhook is the complete version? Chaos, PSPPlant, or orig. Devhook?

How do you install this? I did RTFM from the post that chris made - but wtf where can we find or how do we create a "decrypted 2.6 dump"?

Are the settings in Devhook unique to the task you want to perform on 2.6 or is there come kind of universal settings that will work for all UMD's, Location free, rss, browser etc...

I am a former 2.6 who just downgraded to 1.5 - so be patient with this nub
