How to Get an ISO for Devhook

Devhook is a homebrew application for the Sony PSP portable gaming system. It allows users to run legally made ISO backups from Sony UMD discs. Devhook allows users to play their PSP games without needing to use the PSP's optical media drive, which results in drastically increased battery life. It also allows users to store multiple PSP backups on a single memory card. This means you won't need to bring the cumbersome UMD discs with you when you travel. Ripping an ISO from a UMD disc is quite simple and should take about a half-hour.

  Power on the PSP, then select "Settings" from the media crossbar. From the "Settings" menu, select "USB Mode" and press "X." This will allow your computer to connect to your PSP system as though it were a removable storage device.

  Open the start menu on your computer, then select "Computer." You will find your PSP under the "Removable Storage Devices" heading. Double-click on the PSP to display a directory containing the ISO image file from your inserted UMD disc. Drag-and-drop the ISO onto your local hard drive to save a copy of it. To load the ISO image from Devhook, simply drag-and-drop the ISO into the "ISO" directory on your PSP memory card. You will be able to load any ISOs moved this way by selecting "Games" from the Media Crossbar.
