my problem is this - ive installed devhook v0.46 using ultimate installer v.1.1.1 fresh after a clean format - all seems fine - menu screen all works cool - are there extra things i need to install? - ive read on different forums some iso.s need eboot files but none of the ones i downloaded have this. also im reading about inserting a umd to get the iso working - does this need to be a game? or will a movie umd work too? at moment i only have a movie umd.
as it stands all i seem to get is locks up or error messages when trying to run tombraider/worms/lemmings etc.... help would be appreciated as im on my 3rd day trying to get this mf working hehe :)

spanky1 you need a game UMD(No movies) so the iso ganes work. and try to get the new Ultimate Installer USB Edition v0.3.1

LAMPRO if you what a custom DH.Go in to your MS and in dh/271/flash0 look for the folder that has the gameboots.pmf(and 01.pmf to 12.pmf for background)and fonts folder. put all the new stuff you what there.

juan- looks like i did too much.. not only did i go into the folder you mentioned, swapped out the gameboot.pmf- but then i swapped out the topmenu-plugin.rco, the system-menu-plugin.rco and the opening_plugin.rco- and then i went into fonts and swapped out 00-15.pgf- did i goto far? everythng works.

could u tell me what those rco files are exactly? I want to be able to know what the heck im swapping! i know the fonts and the gameboots - but what r those others??

thanks juan2320

spanky1 ultimate installer 0.3.1 usb edition(has a new USB mod)and the v1.1.1 has bugs(did not work with USB)
I put a link for the v0.3.1 in the last page here.(where did you look for it?)

LAMPRO if everythng works that is ok.
I do not know what the rco files are.look in the menu(I only change the 01.pmf to 12.pmf for background)I have fonts and gameboots but do not use them.
Where did you get the new rco files?
try to turn the psp off(hold the power for 10sec. and see the opening)

the rco's were installed in DH 2.71- not flashed to 1.5.

I got the rco's from some themes i found- i found one in the darth vader theme, and i found some in others. I just took what i needed from wherever to swap out just to see what would happen- all good in dh. so it starts with the darth imperial theme music, then to a gameboot sound from 'shooter' theme i found, along with the shooter gameboot, then the fonts are from the vader theme, and nothing else is different/ except when the gameboot ends, and usually you might see a sony computer text line with waves, its not there, it goes from the gameboot right into the iso. oh and no wavy lines on the xmb either, but i dont remember if they were there or not in 2.71 before i started swapping rco's.

anyone know what those rco's are? what they do??

LAMPRO look for a custom psp theme thread so they can tell you what they are(not here)

lovelysj Yes it will work if you copy the files to your desktop and then copy them in youe MS(PSP,dh,ISO)
When it's asking for the root.Do you put the Drive of your psp?(is it on)

Hi. Iv got a 1.5 ps. Iv tried to play games. I have Installed Dev hook 0.46. I have used it 2.71 firmware. I played an actual game i had in the psp. Worked fine. But as i read the guide it said something about disconnecting it. But leaving the usb wire plugged in. Do you have to leave the wire plugged in while playing. I am going to make a ISO folder in the psp and put the game in there. The game is NFS:Most Wanted. I have to put the files Psp_Game and Umd_Data Right? Anything i need to know on running games as i'm new to all this.!
Thanks in advance for any help!
Edit: Ok iv got Devhook. v put my iso in the right place. Iv loaded devhook. Then i go to load my iso and i press iso it does nothing. Oh yh and when i play a umd disc (The actual game i hav in it) For some reason it changes my psp into German language!?

ConfusedI you have to leave the wire plugged in while playing if the game is in your PC.(if the iso is in your MS you do not need to have the wire plugged)
the iso game has Psp_Game and Umd_Data in it(game.iso is what you need).you do not need to take them out.
Use UMDgen to see the files that are in the iso(and to make a iso if you have the files only)
does it change the psp menu into German language or the game?(if it's the menu go in to the 2.71 psp settings and change it back to eng. or what you what)
If the iso is untouched it has to work.(look for my settings in the last 2 pages)

Then Extract the Iso folder i already have that has Psp_Game And Umd_Data. But thi Iso folder contained them has a win rar file in it whcih i have been told is ok. So the Iso File that contains the data i put in my ms. And still dint work. So it Was Iso folder in the Ms. THn open that Another Iso folder. Open dat and it has the data. So iv tried it and it doesnt work. Now if you can tell me what to do and how it would be REALLY helpful! Thanks

confused - i had loads of problems trying to get it working but in the end it came down to installing ultimate installer v0.3.1 usb version after a clean memory stick format. after that put in your isos exactly where it says on ur mem stick x:/iso - these cant be in win rar format - they must be uncompressed with the iso or cso file extension. hope this helps. by the way im no expert either but this got it working for me.

ConfusedI I do not know what you what to do.(but you do not need to Extract the Iso) it need to be a game.iso or game.cso so it work with DHv46
Look at this from psp-hacks

is there any tutorials on how to build the iso? i have 1 folder full of the game files and the UMD_DATA.bin file

Did you search for the tutorials? All you have to do is open UMDgen v3.5 and drag the UMD_DATA.BIN(file) and PSP_GAME(folder) in to UMDgen and make a new iso or .cso(File --> Save As)

ConfusedI Tell me what more you have in your MS.
It has to be like this
ISO/(game.iso)
dh/(dh files)like 20mb
PSP/GAME/(app's)

ConfusedI you did not get what I told you in my last post.(the game has to be a .iso or .cso) not files and folders like you have them. Psp_Game and Umd_data(this is what's inside of a .iso game)
you need UMDgen(a PC app)to make the Psp_Game and Umd_data in to a .iso or .cso(look at my last post so you know how to do it)Get UMDgen at psp-hacks.com

this is how it has to be with games in your MS
PSP/GAME/
dh/
ISO/juan.iso ,tekken.iso ,GTA.cso(the games are only one file).iso or .cso

ConfusedI it looks like a WinRAR file because WinRAR can open .iso files(but if you compress it to .cso(smaller size) it will only look like a file that WinRAR can not open)

There are games that when you compress they lag(eg:gta lcs,syphon filter)

Here's the compressor:
