Michigan to Cough Up for Legal Fees

Michigan Judge George Caram Steeh ruled that the state is required to reimburse the money the game industry spent fighting a game law that was meant to ban the sale or rental of violent videogames to minors. The legislation was found unconstitutional as it infringed on First Amendment rights.

The Entertainment Software Association and its partners are building up a laundry list of wins against similar cases across the country. Illinois has been ordered to pay the industry $510K, Washington state $344K, St. Louis $180K, Indianapolis $318Kand Michigan $182K.

Judge Steeh struck down the Michigan law in April of this year, accusing the proposed measure of “discriminating against a disfavored 'newcomer' in the world of entertainment media.”

DevHook alternative package: DevHook 0.50, 0.46, DevHook for 2.71, and 0.45

Happy with DevHook v0.50 but want to keep previous versions of DevHook on your PSPs? Nah, it's not being greedy,  it's being practical - after all, older DevHooks do have better compatibility with older PSP games. And dodswm knows this, hence he granted your wishes yesterday with his hex-edited DevHooks for 2.71, v0.45, and 0.46 - collectively known as DevHook alternative package.

Now, we have an update to this dodswm-creation that allows PSP owners to run DevHook v0.50 and 0.45 plus DevHook for 2.71 and DevHook 0.46 on one mem stick. This latest version has the following changes:
  • Text on eboots have been changed so that displays on the PSP show which DevHook folder is in use
  • Modded devhook firmware installers were added
  • DevHook for 2.71 has been fixed to emulate 1.5
  • Put the lot in one download package
Now if you're new to this sort of thing and don't know exactly what needs to be done, read up on installation instructions and warnings here. Or better yet, click on the "Readme" file before doing anything else. Good luck and enjoy this latest offering!

DevHook v0.51 with 3.01 Emulation!

Just a few short days after Booster released DevHook v0.50 with 2.8x, he's back again, this time with 3.01 emulation! For those of you lucky enough to get your hands on a PS3, this will probably appear more to you. Hardrive on the QJ forums has put together a pretty thorough installation tutorial. The guide was originally written for v0.50 but the same steps still apply with some minor differences in files. So what are you waiting for? Grab it via the download link below!
