After a couple of quick and timely bug fixes to v. 0.42, Boster has now released version 0.43 (with fix) of his very popular and useful device hook. Now this version allows you to launch another firmware version up to 2.6 and use (almost) all of its features, enabling you to use the web browser and LocationFree player, and run UMDs that require firmware version 1.5. The firmware remains loaded in the PSP's RAM, so after a simple reboot of your PSP, it will return to firmware version 1.5 like magic. With that, we came to what this post is really all about, the V0.42b -> V0.43 changelog (courtesy of QJ.Net's trusty Jeff C.): - FW2.60 reboot supported (A part of the installer is not supported yet). - It is now possible for users to specify the load address for rebooting. - UMD read callback changed from 1 sector to multiple sectors. - The return value of dhGetVersion() changed from 0x00420002 to 0x00430000. - Now DevHook will be started when starting the launcher. - Launcher modified, 0.42b/0.43 new settings, menu construction, display layout. - Plain20.prx and plain25.prx now unified into plain2x.prx. - Append to stack when performing flashEMU. - Added a shortcut key for exiting DevHook when rebooted. - Fixed a bug in v0.42b that you cannot set the clock. Of course, Devhook, like every homebrew projects around, is a work in progress. The evolution of this awesome piece of application can be seen by clicking here. Here's a list of issues Booster is looking into fixing come Devhook's next release: - NO-UMD for FW2.00 - NAND driver emulation I don't think I really need to reiterate the importance of this post, a quick look will give you that. But for the sake of the new owners of magic FW 1.50 (ergo, those who just downgraded their 2.50/2.60 PSPs), this version will now give you the full enjoyment of playing UMDs that require 2.60, browse the web, and run homebrewed apps, games, and emulators on your PSP!
