Isn't it time to lose all the devhook stickie guides, devhook is pretty much redundant now. Perhaps stickie some 3.02OEa/b guides instead.

Just wondering... no offense to those who created them intended.

I already had my Eloader Guide taken off the stickies.

it may well be time for a more indepth clearout round here...

Would agree with you on that one Creaky, but some stuff would still need to be kept.

personally i will stay only with device hook i only want to play psp games and i have no interest in anything else including psone games ,a new device hook was recent release that emulates 3.03 firmware and that its what i will use, but thats just me

but i agree that the stickied threads should be changed

A Devhook Tutorial and FAQ would be good, rather than that big long thread.

the devhook and usb one should be togethor, and it should be upgraded to the new devhook 0.52 as the old one isnt any use any more... Also the downgrader guides should be stickied! Saves ppl asking!

Couldn't "Converting any video to PSP format" and "Making a PSP movie" be merged? And is the "Running Homebrew on 1.5" thread needed anymore?

yh and we need one big downgrading guide! stickied!

well you regulars know a damn sight more about all this stuff than i do (ok busted, i know virtually nothing about PSP), so maybe some of you can have a good mooch around and come up with ideas and lists of threads to be jigged around. I do get drastic in this forum more than some others due to the sheer amount of posts in here, recently i went to town on the devhook stuff and cleared a few pages of stuff down, can't remember if it was 3 pages or 12; anyways, the very next day there were pages of the stuff again and i had to give up after a few days...

LOL creaky man psp is a high demand!

Aight i think there should be one sticky with all downgrades from 2.71 TA-082 to 2.80 TA-079-081. This way it will avoid Loads of guides beeing made and remade and ppl asking so many questions!

The devhook and the usb one should be updated to the new one cuz the old one isnt needed so it should be the 0.52 one! inside this thread there should also be how to load iso's through USB!

The guide to "every thing to now about a psp is kinda useless"

The guide "Super NOOB Guide - Downgrading and Devhook and Compression" is also not needed.

Guide - installing Music/Images on PSP isnt needed.

Guide - Run Homebrew on v1.50 PSP not needed.

Round Two: ASK ALL DEVHOOK PROBLEMS/QUESTIONS HERE updated to teh new one!

cool keep the ideas coming, throw some ideas around between you and we'll see where it goes...

and there should be a sticky on how to Dump UMD's! In my oppinion thats it.

a sticky on the latest devhook installation and stuff, so many people/noobs starting threads for that

How about 1 sticky for the latest devhook, 1 for all downgrading split into sections for each fw, 1 for dumping UMD's, DVD's etc and 1 for custom firmware and running PSX games.

Thtas just 4 different stickies covering 90% of the questions asked here. They could be updated accordingly.

yeah thats a great idea, do we have any custom firmware threads??

how about a new thread with all the links to the other threads(the guides)
so make a thread called EVERYTHING ON DEVHOOK and add all the links to devhook guides etc... :o?

whatever happens the devhook should'nt really be there anymore...not many people use it...there should be the guides for the 3.02oe-a/b up there...and also the way to bring back 3.02oe-a/b to 1.5....someone should make a thread explaning how to run iso a on the 3.02oe-a/b...people keep starting threads for this and its annoying..becaues it so easy to do make a folder called iso but people keep asking so should say that somewhere...so people wont ask it a million times...and the TA-082 downgrader guide should be added as a sticky..the one started by touran...and how to run homebrew on a 1.5 should be gone to...becaues most people should know how to do that..well thats what i think..

Why would you want to get rid of devhook,it isn't possible that 3.02 OE A or B will be better than devhook.I mean think about it 3.02 OE is just a custom firmware flash,that uses 1.50 firmware and 3.02 firmware.We all know that 3.02 firmware is gonna be outdated so in a sense 3.02 OE shouldn't be the stickied,the devhook should be stickied and 3.02 OE as an option.How many firmware updates will it take for people to realize that 3.02 OE isn't the right choice.I give Dark Alex credit for getting ps1 games running,but if you don't care about ps1 games then why would you need 3.02 OE.In fact that is the only thing that seperates 3.02 OE from devhook.Booster's devhook has been covering almost all firmware updates,so I wouldn't want Booster to stop making devhook nor should anybody else if they are smart.To activate the ps1 emulator you do need a ps3 system,which I thought was pretty lame by the way but I wouldn't say it can't be done by just emulating firmware.By the way 3.03 firmware emulation is integrated into devhook 0.52,so the way I have it devhook is in the lead for using higher firmware versions.The problem is not devhook,it is the ps3 being needed to activate the ps1 emulator.I don't know how many people have a ps3 and a psp system,but I bet the numbers are small.I do plan on getting a ps3 system,but it won't be anytime soon.

You dont need a PS3 to get your PSX games, the emulator is incorporated into OE-B, and its just a matter of converting your own, or downloading them off a torrent.
Granted the DevHook should not be taken away, but at the same time whats the point of running a program, selecting your firmware, your ISO and booting when with OE-B your running the highest firmware possible (3.03 was only a security upgrade) select your ISO straight from GAME and run it, along with 99% of V1.50 homebrew.
Plus the ability to run plugins without writing to flash.
All credit to Booster though.

3.02 oe-b will be outdated...but so will devhook if booster doesn't update... but don't u think dark alex will update his firmware as well? it used to be 2.71se now it's 3.02 :o
and like sudd stated.... it's so much convenient to run the custom firmware

Whatever is finally decided upon, something needs to be done. This forum at the moment is been overrun by brain numbingly dull threads about the same thing again and again... all titled "please help" or "how do I downgrade?" or some form of 3.02 OEa/b or PSX question.

There appears to be very little of interest to read here anymore, and it seems that despite how clearly things are explained there is an army of people out there who seem incapable of following instructions without starting a multitude of new threads asking the same questions.

Also... IMHO, Devhook is no longer needed, custom firmware is better, easier and will be updated as necessary just as devhook would be.

{EDIT} also, full marks to Creaky for at least trying to keep some sort of order round here, in his battle to close duplicate threads :)

thanks, it's a bloody nightmare, as soon as i sort a few there's half a dozen more threads, 'til i blink then there's loads more.

I wouldn't mind but i know what a PSP is but couldn't give a kipper about them personally, so quite why i'm trying to stop the barrage of repetition i don't know :P

Alright well first off 3.02 isn't the latest firmware update,and I don't think 3.03 is gonna be the last update there is.The 3.03 firmware doesn't just have security update,popstation(psp ps1 emulator)has been improved.You have to think what exactly is 3.02 OE,it is a custom firmware that you flash to your nand memory.By using Devhook you don't have to flash to your memory,so you don't risk bricking your system.I do think Booster has proven that he can infact come out with tons of updates for devhook.I wonder how exactly is a plugin can update your firmware,and if it can't does this mean you would rather stay at 3.02 firmware for good.I would rather emulate 3.03 or any updates that come out and have a way to activate popstation.You have to remember also that Dark Alex didn't really get popstation working the way it should be in my opinion.If you read the questions that where asked to him,he answers that sony uses compression and encryption on the ps1 titles and his mod doesn't use compression.I will say this I already figured out the registry hacks,and it didn't take me long to do that either.What I'm trying to say is if I had a ps3 to activate the ps1 emulator on the psp,we could all have a way to play ps1 titles.I'm not gonna mention what is actually being worked on at the moment or even know myself,but popstation isn't working the way it should be.The only way to get a clean ps1 title for psp is by figuring out what was actually done to an official sony ps1 title.Your not suppose to use uncompressed images,and the whole popstation setup is wrong.I'm not a 3.02 OE user,and to be honest 3.02 OE isn't needed.My opinion is Devhook is more updated than Dark Alex's firmware flashes.

I would have to disagree,cause Devhook doesn't use a firmware flash.The only way you can update a firmware is by reflashing,have you ever thought about that.I was wondering what happened to 2.71 SE custom firmwares,oh yeah they had to be reflashed.I have already seen some people report bricked psp systems from this also.I'm not gonna say that firmware flashing is the best solution,and if you ever used devhook you would notice that you never had to flash anything.I'm sticking with Booster's techniques,cause they are safer for one and easier to update.If you all are really worried about losing popstation,just be patient and a better solution will arrive.I think custom firmware flashes are a mistake,and this is probably the reason why Booster will not team up with Dark Alex.

Hey if thats what you believe then fair enough, each to their own.

I don't see any difference to reinstalling a new version of devhook to reflashing custom firmware. There is no reason why you should brick it. There is a big difference however to running ISO's direct from the XMB and being able to play ANY PSX title to having to boot devhook all the time and not being able to play PSX titles, but if you're happy with a less playable system then that's fine.

More to the point, none of this really has much to do with the main point of this thread which is about getting rid of some of the sticky guides. If needed there could still be a devhook guide but we don't need 3 of them.
