What would happen or what happens if you were emulating fw 2.71 with devhook and tried updating to fw 2.80+? would it brick, do nothing, overwrite the 2.71 files with 2.80+ ones and allow us to emulate that? it might be a lame question, but i'm just curious.

Eh, it crashes. Booster was in the process of working on that, last I heard. Currently, Dev-hook needs a decrypted reboot.bin to run a firmware, and the hard part is getting that file. We don't have it yet for 2.8+

In order to do that, we need NAND Driver Emulation, which booster got working, but it was way too slow, so he stopped. Also, its simple to get the decrypted, and decompressed reboot.bin for 2.60+ now, including 2.80/2.81, just use the new decryptor by Dark_Alex, and you get a decrypted dump of that firmware, which it also decrypts and decompresses the reboot.bin, but in 2.80+ their is a new security on the reboot.bin, which checks every PRX to make sure it was installed for your specific PSP, which basically made it harder to emulate, but that was concored already with the latest version of Dark_Alex's decryptor, now all we need is someone to implement support for 2.80/2.81 in the DevHook .46 Source code.

And On Topic: All it would do is come back to emulated xmb and give you a game could not be started error, so no brickage chance

yeah, i didn't think anything could happen. just wondering. i hope a new devhook comes out though. and more especially hope that someone will be able to emulate the ps1 emu firmware, or make they're own ps1 emu. it will just take time i suppose. when is the ps1 emu supposed to come out anyway, i kept hearing like november, or was that ps3?

@MonkeyBoy, Thanks for correcting me on the point of the 2.8 reboot.bin, I should have remembered. Forgive me for getting older, my mind starts to forget stuff that it recently heard. What's your name again?

@jonnyp777, According to what sony released way back at E3, it is should come out between Sept. 5th and Oct. 5th. These are the projected release dates for the PSP Camera and GPS, respectively. The update was sandwiched between them. But looking at the ps3 and a blu-ray player, we all know how well Sony does with a deadline, so it could be in a month or two, maybe even a year.

Here you go mate, I found a link to the picture for ya. "Memorystick Boot" is predicted to be the ps1 EMU. Enjoy!
