Devhook 0.52 Install Guide with 3.11

[x3sphere]

This is a step by step guide for installing the new Devhook 0.52 (http://exophase.com/files/psp/DH0520100_311.zip) along with 3.11 firmware.

1. Remove all previous devhook files from your memory stick.

2. Copy the devhook 0.52 package to the root of your memory stick. This would be ms0:/ and the three folders should be "dh", "PSP" and "fbm". If you are running OE, make sure that the DH052 folders are going into the GAME150 folder.

3. Download the 3.11 update here (http://exophase.com/files/psp/EBOOT_311.PBP).

4. Get PSARDumper here (http://exophase.com/files/psp/psardumper330_15.zip). Unpack it and move the program to your GAME folder, or GAME150 if you are running OE.

5. Extract the DATA.PSAR from the 3.11 update you've downloaded with PBP Unpacker (http://www.pdc.me.uk/pbpunpacker.php?). Once thats done, copy the DATA.PSAR over to the root of your memory stick.

6. Run PSARDumper on your PSP, once its loaded up press X to dump a sigchecked 3.11. Once its done your PSP will return to the main menu.

7. Open up your memory stick, you will now see that there is an "F0" folder in the root. Move that to the "311" folder inside of "dh".

8. Finally, choose "FIRMWARE" from the devhook menu and pick 3.11. Now start devhook and you should be good to go!

Enjoy :)

I have dark alex's 2.71 SE C firmware
I had boosters devhook 0.50 working

I followed your instructions to delete my devhook folder
followed all the instruction to the letter, all seemed ok until I try to boot up devhook as instructed in step 8.
when I try booting devhook up the psp logo screen comes up with the white background.
My psp freezes with the logo screen, then shuts down. it does this everytime I try to boot up devhook.

Any ideas?

wish I'd stuck with my pevious setup now! :o(

make sure you are putting devhook in your 1.5 GAME folder, not the 2.71 GAME folder.

[PsypheR]

Thanks x3sphere! :D

[delta191]

Yes you was correct, didn't know it had to go in the game150 folder! it wasn't mentioned in the step by step instructions! maybe you should mention it in your instructions buddy.

I now have another question! lol

in instruction 8. it says something about uninstalling flash 1 if you have flashed using a previous dev hook install.

I had devhook 0.50 with 2.71 SE C, does this mean I have to run the dev hook flash 1 removal?

cheers

yep, but only if you installed to flash1 with devhook 0.50.

[delta191]

Thanx for your help EXOman!

It's now working on DARK_ALEX's 2.71SE C!

brilliant! your a genius!

Cheers to DARK_ALEX, BOOSTER and the eXophase! :)


If it's any help to your step by step guide for others to follow with 2.71 SE C.

maybe you should mention putting these files in the GAME150 folder would help the
idiots like me! lol

It did make me cock up the proccess!

cheers again!

I wonder if Sims 2 Pets will work now! and maybe Celabas Africa safari?

[x3sphere]

Sims 2: Pets works fine I heard but about the safari game I believe there is a bad dump floating around. Someone with the UMD should test that one..

Anyway, I will update the guide with that info :)

[delta191]

sims 2 pets ran on my devhook 0.50 and indeed off the memory stick with 2.71SE C, thats until it got to actually "start a new game selection" it then just keeps playing the music and the memory cards red light busy light continually flashing but the game had actually frozen.

I dont know of anyone who has got Cabelas Africa safari hunts working! I agree that their are some bad dumps out their!

You dont know if you have a bad game dump or Devhooks got bugs! it's hard to distinguish
which party is to blame!

Torrent sites should take the dumps that are faulty off the downloads!

probably being paid by sony to keep them on their! lol :eek:

thanks again.

[HellDragon]

thanks for the guide :eek:

is there any chance of bricking ur psp when doing step 8. Does it just write to the f1 folder in ms0:/dh/301/f1 or does it write to ur psp's flash?

[x3sphere]

PSP's flash1, but there is no chance of bricking with flash1 if you follow this guide.

[Cyph3r]

NOOOOOO i gotto the bit when you install to flash1 and its got to

Mkdir flash1:/dh/301/GPS : OK
---- Directry ms0:/dh/301/f1/DIC

but its been stuck on this for about 5 minutes now, WHAT DO I DO!?!?

[x3sphere]

NOOOOOO i gotto the bit when you install to flash1 and its got to

Mkdir flash1:/dh/301/GPS : OK
---- Directry ms0:/dh/301/f1/DIC

but its been stuck on this for about 5 minutes now, WHAT DO I DO!?!?

could be finished? Hit O and see if that takes you back to the dh menu. If not, shut your PSP off and turn it back on.

Make sure if you installed a flash1 config in the 2.82 devhook to remove that first..

[Venomous]

Has anyone been able to return to your 1.5 FW from the memstick....everytime I try it says I need the 1.5 reboot.bin. Is it possible to get this?

[Cyphre]

I have done it according to your guide with success. My PSP now boots FW3.01 but everytime I'm doing a 'reboot' or exit from any game the system loose all the FW3.01 settings and asks for date/time etc. Is it a feature of the current devhook or am I doing somtehing wrong?

Ah, found the answer! Replying to myself(and for people who could have same problem):
"this happens because, for some reason, sometimes a blank file gets saved in the f1/registry folder. To fix it, erase the f1 folder and copy the original one that came with devhook, remove the settings from flash, and then flash again"

[omiclops]

Oh no help please, mine hangs on the white psp white screen and reboots, im using 1.50 FW, please help, i did everything, did i do sumthin wrong

[omiclops]

oh right i got it, anyway, why cant you go to home from emulation? it just hangs

[Johnny]

Uhh...Ive followed the steps, but in devhook there isnt a caption named "flash rom", and also there isnt "install devhook to flash0". There is just flash install ( i think thats right ;)) and install kd/resource to flash0...

What should i do...? By the way im using FW 2.71 SE B''

[x3sphere]

oh right i got it, anyway, why cant you go to home from emulation? it just hangs

Need to put the 1.5 reboot.bin in your "ms0:/dh/kd" folder. You can get it the same way you dumped 3.01, but just use the DATA.PSAR from the 1.5 EBOOT instead.

@Johnny: Yeah, its flash install. Just pick the option "install configfile to flash1" :)

[Johnny]

Okay, thanks. Works now. Is there any good feature you can use without ps3 and camera, except of the visual player?

[x3sphere]

Okay, thanks. Works now. Is there any good feature you can use without ps3 and camera, except of the visual player?

not really :( Sony kinda screwed us with making the PS1 downloads require a PS3. Though I heard there will be another update sometime in January that will let us download the PS1 games directly to the PSP.

[mava1965]

Grettings to everyone,
I thank you for this great tutorial, but I have a problem. When I dumped the PSAR file it came back with a message that says " The game could not be started (8002014C)". I believe I follow the steps accordingly, but who knows I may be doing something wrong.
Please anyone.

Advise!!

Thanks again

[NYShotgun05]

I have devhook 0.51, and when I do step 8, the psp start up screen appears, but it shuts off and says "Game cannot be started"

I have the modchip that have 2.71/1.50, and I have gotten devhook .46 to work easily, but this is different now.

first thing I'd try is starting without a UMD in the drive. If not, maybe flash1 doesn't like to be installed on the UP chip.. you running devhook from the firmware that is on the UP nand or PSP one?

Ive took the UMD out n it still doesnt load.

Im using the UP nand i think, or the psp.....idk, i didnt put the modchip in, ive hired someone else. But I dont know anyhting about this psp besides dh .46 worked perfectly on it. Can I use HenD on my psp?

(P.S. Do you know how to put dual firmwares on the modchip)

Don't have a UP here :(

Anyway try this.. use the remove flash1 option in devhook since you already installed it to flash. Then copy the files in this zip to the "301\f1" folder on your memory stick.

http://www.exophase.com/files/psp/f1.zip

Now try starting dh.

[Darocka]

I have 3.01 FW and I have done everything up until the point where I run the PSAR Dumper, after I run it, it won't start "(8002014C)" I'd appreciate it if I could get some help. Thanks...

NEVERMIND, I've just realized what DevHook is...my bad...

[krazywill666]

will this work on frimware 2.71 se-b

Nope, I asked a few people who have a UP and they have the same problem. You need to boot from the original PSP nand (hold L during boot) and then if its 2.71 run Hen D and the dh launcher port for it which I have attached in this post.

Seems dh 0.51 doesn't like the UP :|

Well.. what I would suggest is to downgrade your 2.71 (which is on the PSP nand) to 1.5, then give it a try on that.

[infinitekaos]

Great job on the tutorial, scared be when it froze writing the flash file, but ijust hit O after it sat for about 10 minutes and it went to the menu, all went well.

only problem im having, and sorry, but i didnt see it in this thread, only as a question with no answer:

once in 3.01 menu, i try to use "return to 1.5" and it acts like its going to, and the psp just turns off.

i had to make a "kd" folder inside the "dh" folder in the root of my memory stick, and put the 1.5 reboot.bin in it.

are there other files i have to put in as well to have it return to 1.5 from 3.1?


thanks again for the easy to follow tutorial with all proper links :)

ah yeah, he changed the folder paths from .50. The 1.5 reboot.bin should go in the ms0:/dh/05/kd folder.

still with 2.71SE it seems you don't need the 1.5 reboot.bin at all (unlike previous versions), so if it still doesn't work it could be a 1.5 bug..

Devhook only runs on firmwares 1.5 - 2.71 .. you are out of luck, sorry..

where can I find the 2.71 downgrader?

[zeromaster]

hey i did all the steps and when i load devhook as 3.01, it says it's rebooting and then a black screen for like 10 seconds and then my psp turns off, when i turn it back on it boots fw 1.50, here are my psp specs:

non-Ta-082 mb
1.50 firmware
recently had devhook v4.6 - windows to psp installed version

It seems like the reboot.bin is not present, do you have a reboot.bin in the F0 folder?

[rombomb999]

naay help would be much appreated

which f0 folder?, there's one in every firmware folder, and where do i get the reboot.bin file?

[x3sphere]

The reboot.bin is automatically dumped if you did the PSAR Dumper part correctly..

Reason for just a black screen is one of two things - no reboot.bin, or you did not transfer over the dh folder from the devhook zip.

zeromaster: It would be in the one in the 301 dir

[Mako]

Ok, I am a noob. I need 2 things explained real fast.

I followed the instructions and when i go to Start Devhook it shuts down the psp. Is this suppose to happen?

Secondly how or where do i put the ISO files or is there another process in running the iso files?

Thanks to all

No, thats not supposed to happen. You did something wrong, and those files go in the ISO folder on your memory stick.

I've never used devhook, i have 1.5 FW and im following the instructions step-by-step, I dont see where or how to start devhook, also, whats a "flash install" sorry for all these noobie questions

Devhook should appear in your GAME folder, you can start it from there.

[Mako]

Thx for the response.

I created the ISO directory now the devhook menu has UMD Emulation. However, and man i feel stupid for asking so many questions, how do I launch it?

I am use to the old school UMD Emulator from way back before all this devhook stuff started.

Thanks for the help and the patience you are having with me.

[Mako]

Never mind. I didn't realize I didn't have a UMD in the drive.

However the game I tried crashed. It was crossword challenge or something like that.

It froze at the PSP screen.

ahh, could be a bad dump. Devhook is very picky when it comes to rebuilt isos, untouched works best.

[Mako]

I had screwed with some stuff. Set it back to normal and the iso worked fine.

Hi,

then changing the FW to 1.50 to run PSARDumper

then after putting the f0 folder into dh\301\

i run the new devhook 0.51

then go into flash install

then uninstall dh files for flash1

then install configfile to flash1

then change the firmware to 3.01

then start devhook

but my firmware still is on 1.50

could someone please help me????

why are you running the TIFF exploit etc if you are on 2.71 SE? There is no need, just put Devhook 0.51 in your 1.5 GAME folder (could be either GAME150 or GAME, depending on your setup) and run it.

[thinxiii]

but how do i start PSAR Dumper without changing FW into 1.50?

http://forums.exophase.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=33&d=1165544869

Just run that select Firmware 3.01 and you should be good to go, since you already ran PSARDumper and all that.

yup i did that and then psp restarts with devhook in a really odd looking form. it also says somethings corrupted in the background image. then wat do i do now?

also i noticed the zip contained a notepad file with a programming language, is the language VB/C++/C# and do i need to place this code anywhere?

hey, i am having the same problem with the black screen - i start up the emulation and it gives me a black screen, power eventually goes off. PSP is 1.5 and i do have the reboot.bin file in and I did copy devhook from the zip...got the zip from exophase.com website I presume that is the one you are meaning?
going to try a different ISO, it's strange because I managed to get an ISO working using an earlier loader, then that loader stopped working for the ISO file and now nothing will load it, so i know it can't be corrupt as it worked once!

Is this a black screen when starting the ISO or when starting Devhook?

the main reasons for black screen are

no reboot.bin in F0 folder
no pspbtcnf_dh.txt files in 3.0 KD folder

if you have both then we need to figure out what the problem is.

well, this is the thing, the black screen is when starting one ISO, so i loaded another iso that i've had working on earlier devhooks. this one loaded through but then the same screen the chap above is experiencing, the "Setting information is corrupted. Pressing O button to repair and restore default settings." came up, with the devhook menu over it, then it crashed. reboot file is in the folder, and the text files are in the 301/KD folder.
i had to restore default settings, and now devhook can't detect the flash1 files so presumably these have been purged?
i am tempted to give up on this and stick with older ISOs! maybe it's a memory stick problem? my 1GB mem stick is fine but I keep that for emulation and the odd ISO, haven't put the 0.51 stuff on it as i'm now slightly worried. though common sense dictates it can't possibly have messed up my memory stick as i have formatted it a few times.

[x3sphere]

well, this is the thing, the black screen is when starting one ISO, so i loaded another iso that i've had working on earlier devhooks. this one loaded through but then the same screen the chap above is experiencing, the "Setting information is corrupted. Pressing O button to repair and restore default settings." came up, with the devhook menu over it, then it crashed. reboot file is in the folder, and the text files are in the 301/KD folder.

Yeah you have to reinstall the flash1 files now, that should fix the blue screen issue.

i still don't know where this stupid file is,

If you used the PSARDumper from the post, it will be there. Make sure you pressed X to get the files and reboot.bin

[kvos]

hello guys, and thanks for the great post , but i am following the instructions perfectly but when running psar dumper on the psp, it hangs then it switches off. I am using fw 2.71se-c.

can any one help please?:)

[zeromaster]

ok after several weeks of this working great a new problem, the my umd games won't load, the psp logo screen just freezes and my psp reboots itself back to 1.5 fw, why is this happening?

[twista999]

My system software is: 2.71SE-B
I have devhook0.4X launcher for 2.71

I don't know what my firmware is as i don't know where to find that out and because i'm new to the psp homebrew world.

In my memory stick i have these Files:

"MEMSTICK.IND"
"._.Trashes"
".DS_Store"
"MSTK_PRO.IND"

And these Folders:

"PSP"
"ISO"
"dh"
".Trashes"


In the "PSP" folder i have the files and folders called:

"GAME"
"GAME150"
"MUSIC"
"PHOTO"
"SAVEDATA"
"SYSTEM"
"COMMON"
".DS_Store"


In the "ISO" folder i have the file:

"Your ISO and CSO files Go Here"


In the "dh" folder i have the folders:

"271F"
"kd"


In the "kd" folder there are 13 files which i won't name because i'll be here all day.

What do i need to do?

Do i need to get a devhook 0.51 launcher for 2.71SE-B?

So what do i do with these files and folders to get Devhook 0.51 updated onto my psp?

Help needed urgently please, thank you.

PSARDumper will not run under 2.8. You cannot run Devhook.

Yeah, and copy the folders from the archive over to the root of your memory stick.

Do i need to get a devhook 0.51 launcher for 2.71SE-B?

You are either missing the reboot.bin in "301/f0" or did not copy over the prefixed dh text files from the .51 archive (pspbtcnf_dh.txt etc)

make sure you have downloaded devhook (you can grab it here (http://www.exophase.com/files/psp/DH0510100.rar)). then copy the folders over inside of the MS_ROOT.

3.03 OE-C cannot run via Devhook, you need to upgrade your firmware to it. Just follow the readme included in the 3.03 OE-C archive to install, its pretty straightforward but if you have any questions just ask.

Also - there are no issues with running UMD's under 3.03 OE-C.

you can't run psardumper on 2.71.. its only for 1.5 (or any OE custom firmwares).

why not just downgrade to 1.5 and the upgrade to 3.10 OE-A? Devhook still works, and you can use psardumper.

can you tell me which downgrader should i use?

Good evening everyone. A PSP noob here. Bought a FW 1.5 with DevHook .46 preinstalled from eBay for my son and all working fine. Trying to use DevHook .51 and followed the how-to on the 1st page but I have the following problem when I try to run DevHook.

Where you choose to load DevHook I have the following "folders"

PSAR Dumper V2B
Corrupted Data
DEVHOOK0.51 launcher BETA

When I choose DevHook I get the following error.

This game cannot be started.
The data is corrupted.

Any help as my 9 year old is driving me crazy with his lack of PSP!! :crying:

you need to be on firmware 1.5 or any custom firmware version to run PSARDumper.

since you have a 3.01, you can upgrade to 3.03 and then downgrade to 1.5 following the guide here:

Apologies for the slow response but I've been working 14 hours shifts so if I've not been at work I've been eating or sleeping. However....

I copied the folders over again and still no joy. I then reformatted the memory card and ran through the process again. No joy. I then redownloaded the files, reformatted the memory card and tried again. No joy. :crying:

So not sure where that leaves me. Is it safe to say that .51 just won't work on this PSP?

Thanks in advance for any replies which I hope to see tonight when I get home. If I don't head straight to bed!!

don't know.. it doesn't make much sense really. The error you are getting appears on firmware revisions that cannot run homebrew.

Also I just re-tested the archive to make sure the files were ok and DH booted fine on my PSP.

What I recommend is upgrading to 3.40 OE-A. It gives you all the benefits of DH plus added features like PSone emulation.

otherwise, if you don't want to, try doing this:

rename the %__SCE__DH051BETA folder to DEVHOOK%

rename the __SCE__DH051BETA folder to DEVHOOK

No idea if this will fix it, but I think your memory stick might be having problems with long folder names.

[NinjaMaster]

Cheers. I'll try a comp0lete reinstall and if no joy will go down the "no long file names" route although I feel this might make no difference as most of the ISO I ran under previous devhook version were long names. Failing that I'll try upgrading. Although when I am much much sober.

:D

[adamski]

I followed the instructions and all seemed to work fine. I completed step 7 (move the F0 folder to dh). Then step 8 says choose firmware from the devhook menu, how do I get the devhook menu. The only thing in the game menu is psardumper. Any help will be much appreciated. BTW I have a 1.5. Thanks.

You just have to extract it then put the psardumper330 folder in your game folder and it should appear.

[roe-ur-boat]

There is a difference between 3.40oe-a and the official 3.40. The 3.40oe-a allows you to use IS0/CSOs and lets you use homebrew. And yes, you can downgrade back from 3.40oe-a.

Run PSARDumper on your PSP, once its loaded up press X to dump a sigchecked 3.11. Once its done your PSP will return to the main menu.

When you did this did you press X? It's really important to press X here, otherwise the dump won't work with DevHook.

what I'd do is delete all devhook files, and then go through the steps again. Sounds like something got corrupted.

DevHook is kinda buggy in regards to the menus and stuff. But, for just loading games, it works fine.

It differs for each person. The root is just your memory stick drive (H: F: etc)

just tried that but it wouldn't run any of the iso's i was running only hours b4 on the other devhook... i went through the process about 3 times but couldn't get my head round it, i managed to be able to see the games but it wouldnt start them.... i've now just put my original devhook onto the psp and it still wont run my games nor devhook

once ive gone into devhook and choose firmware 3.11 should i be able to come out of it and see the change in my system settings? coz when ever it asked to exit devhook and i choose yes it reboots back to devhook unless i completly shut down the psp and start fresh... i never see the system firmware change though, and with my old devhook i never actually started it yet i could still run my games, can i not do that with 0.52?

It's probably that the new Transformers game isn't supported by FW 3.11- you should just use the native ISO support in your respective CFW.

I would highly suggest upgrading to a custom firmware, such as 3.40OE-A, or 3.52M33, both which does everything 1.5 does and more- devhook is rarely updated, as far as I know, so that update may come slowly or never. Guides to upgrade your FW are HERE (http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=383) for 3.40OE-A and HERE (http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=2732) for 3.52M33.

I´m about to downgrade my PSP to firmware 1.5.... this Devhook will make my PSP run the functions of the firmware 3.11? this Devhook works on my firmware of PSP?

Please I need the answers of the questions....

[Acerthief]

it "mimics" the 3.11 firmware so you can play games that requires 3.11. and yes this Devhook works on 1.5.

but if you're on 1.5, i recommend you to upgrade to 3.52M33, which then you'll not have the problem with the firmware requirements.

You need to extract the PSARDumper download with a ZIP extracting utility. Then move both of the folders contained within to the specified GAME directory.

[Gepetto]

ok, i know that part, but what do u do with the c + d thing thats on the dumper PSARDUMPER ZIP file archive? then u put the two folders in the PSP folder then in the Game folder on the memory root, or do u put them on the new PSP folder then in that game folder that u just got thats inside the MP_ROOT thing?

well the guide clearly states to put the two folders in the GAME folder, or GAME150 if you are running OE. I don't know which firmware you are running so you'll have to figure that out.

Ignore the C+D file. It's just a text file.

When i back of the sleep mode, the game works fine, but if i try to save, the psp freezes

Seems to be a known bug with 0.52 and 3.11.

You could always try installing a lower firmware version with DevHook, such as 3.03.

[Snake0]

Hi guys I've tried a lot of different things before posting so as to make sure, but every time I use this or devhook 0.5 when it goes to reboot it hangs on a black screen then the power goes off. I tried different isos and the umd disk so its not that, I also tried choosing different firmwares and that didnt work either.
I can get devhook 0.44 to work perfectly so I really can't understand the problem..please help! Btw I have a 1.5 psp and I have never installed custom fws so its still a 'virgin' flash wise ;-)

Edit: this isn't a problem with unpacking the new firmware either as I've tested it 3 times already and everything goes ok, i get the f0 folder and move it. It seems to be a DEVHOOK problem :(

Edit2: I just upgraded to M33 3.52 and it works great! I recommend it to everyone. I was scared about flashing my psp but it all went really smoothly. Devhook is kinda dead in the scene I guess.

Hi i had the old devhook with 2.71 firmware working & i thought i would upgrade, but i get two problems after starting. Firmware not supported & Remote port not supported. I am trying to use 3.11 and followed the tut including parser & putting it in 311 folder. I run m33 3.52 firmware. Can anyone help?

[Acerthief]

if you are using 3.52M33 then you don't need this. if have 3.52/1.5 mix as the devhook can only emulate up to 3.11.

You don't need it anymore if you have 3.52M33 :D

Hello I'm new to Modifying PSP's and my friend modified mine to devhook0.46 (while i wasn't there to see what he did) and i tried to change it to 0.52. i followed all the steps but for some reason devhook is not an option i can click on when i go to the games section on my psp. all i have as an option there is psardumper and corrupted data.

just one advice, are you on 1.5 now?
I would recommend using Custom firmware 3.52M33, that way you don't have to deal with devhook as 3.52M33 is a mix of 1.5kernal and the newer 3.52.

If DevHook is not showing up in the Game menu then you didn't copy over the PSP folder to your memory stick drive.

Does this game require a firmware higher than 3.11? Only games 3.11 and below will work on DevHook. Anything higher and you'll have to upgrade to custom firmware 3.52 M33.

Well here is the guide on converting a normal PSP battery to Pandora:

http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=3238

basically, it writes a special serial code to any battery, booting the PSP in service mode. Thing is, you'll need to know someone with a homebrew-capable PSP so they can convert the battery for you.

There is also another way, by purchasing an already-converted Pandora battery:

http://forums.exophase.com/showpost.php?p=19084&postcount=19

Probably this stuff is quite confusing if you are new to the PSP scene. But just ask if you have any questions.

The main difference between 1.5 and 3.52 is that 3.52 cannot run any homebrew applications due to security upgrades.

CSO files should work however do you know what firmware Scarface requires? Because if its higher than 3.11 the game will likely not work.

5. Extract the DATA.PSAR from the 3.11 update you've downloaded with PBP Unpacker. Once thats done, copy the DATA.PSAR over to the root of your memory stick.

Did you do this? Make you moved the DATA.PSAR to the correct spot. For example, if your memory stick drive was H: then DATA.PSAR would be located at H:/DATA.PSAR

[LukeTheOne]

I did but it still doesn't work.... i dunno y though.... can come up wif another solution?

I did but it still doesn't work.... i dunno y though.... can come up wif another solution?

Well it can't find the DATA.PSAR, so it's either not in the right spot or something is wrong with your memory stick.

Try formatting your memory stick on the PSP (this will clear all files so make sure you backup anything important) and then copy the files back over.

No, DevHook is for emulating firmware 3.11. You can't actually run DevHook on 3.11.

However it is possible to downgrade firmware 3.11 to 1.5 (which CAN run DevHook) if you have a copy of the game Lumines.

Run PSARDumper on your PSP, once its loaded up press X to dump a sigchecked 3.11. Once its done your PSP will return to the main menu.
