How to Install Devhook on My PSP
Devhook is a PSP firmware that allows you to install and run Homebrew PSP versions of games and run other third-party applications on your PSP. Devhook is the preferred firmware emulator by most PSP gamers looking to run game titles and applications that are not supported by the PSP Sony default firmware. Devhook runs entirely from the memory stick and can even be used to test built-in XMB modifications without the risk of damaging the original PSP firmware.

Tips & Warnings
To extract files to your PSP system, you need to have your PSP running in USB mode. Simply turn ON your PSP, connect it to your computer and select "USB Connection". Your PSP memory stick should now be visible and accessible on your computer.
ISO/CSO files (game files) are stored inside the DH folder located on the root of the memory stick. Create a folder called "ISO" and place the ISO/CSO files inside here to access them using Devhook.
Some games require that you redefine the CPU/Clock settings which involve overclocking or running the PSP above the default speeds to improve and enhance gameplay.
