Dark_AleX's POPSloader plugin for 3.00 to 3.11

Posted Feb 11, 2007 at 01:25PM by Tim Y. Listed in: PSP Tags: Dark-AleX, Dark AleX, Custom Firmware, homebrew community

228

Just a few days after telling the homebrew community">homebrew community that he would not be making a 3.11 custom firmware any time soon, Dark-AleX comes back to us to fulfill his other promise - a POPS loader plugin that should enable 3.10 OE to load POPS from 3.00 to 3.11 OE.

This shouldn't come as a suprise for most of us, given that even DAX mentions that the only major difference between 3.10 and 3.11 is the POPS - which is exactly what this plugin will remedy, and then some (loads from 3.00 to 3.11, remember?).

There's not much else to say at this point, except our usual reminder to for you to view the full instructions included in this bundle's README. Also do remember to thank DA for his efforts - we all appreciate it. Thanks dude!

» ...you're kidding.

You're just as bad as they are. People don't care if you say first post, but say something remotely intelligent that goes with the article.

I really wish Sony would come out with new features, it feels awesome to update your PSP knowing you have everything that Sony's firmware has, and it's still capable of homebrew. Dark_AleX, you're the best, good work man.

Re: some random guy (Unregistered) - 2007-02-11

3.10 has support for european psx games and 3.11 has support for changing the psx controller among other things. search the qj february archives; i think there is an indepth article somewhere in there.

does this plugin work for all the custom firmwares, especially for the 3.03 OE-C. I wanted to keep custom icons so I stayed with 3.03, so does it work with it.

Re: Simon (Unregistered) - 2007-02-11

Only for 3.10 or higher acording to readme

ya i would also like to know that
im currently using the 3.02 pops plugin on 3.03oe-c, and i dont want to upgrade again..........id also like to know if anyone can confirm if this works on 3.03OE-C

Re: some random guy (Unregistered) - 2007-02-11

» re

this works only on 3.10OE. basically this allows people on 3.10OE to load all POPS from 3.00OE upwards. so you can upgrade and still play ur 3.02OE POPS.

what good is it to load POPS from 3.00 to 3.11? wouldn't loading 3.11 be the best because it has all the features of previous firmwares?

Re: Kleptoone (Unregistered) - 2007-02-11

» FF7

The Battle Splash was disabled in Final Fantasy 7 after 3.02, so I still use that version of pops to play. Sorta like having lower versions of ePSXe in order to get past some FMV's that froze in certain games (FF9)

Re: raidenjack - 2007-02-11

» ?

what battle splash? can you explain what that is?

Re: Jin (Unregistered) - 2007-02-11

» Battle splash.

Is the 2 second sequence that connects to the fight scene. Usually uses some kind of blur effect or the screen gets wiped away right before you hear the awesome FF Fight music.

Re: axelixc - 2007-02-11

» yeah totally agreed

i hated it when the swirling splash effect gone missing after 302. tat's why i always use 302 plugin. since in 310oea2, i lost the splash, but now no more. it's back.

Re: bambam (Unregistered) - 2007-02-12

» hmm

"some FMV's that froze in certain games (FF9)"
I've played through FF9 on the PSP and din't experience any freezing in FMVs... I didn't experience freezings at all :P

» there's a lot of glitches with 3.02/3.03 pops

Suikoden 2 used to freeze in boss battle mode in 3.03 but now in 3.10 it no longer does

Brave Fencer musashi used to freeze during the intro with 3.10 but with this plugin it works fine.

These updates DO make a difference. Shadow tower now plays at full speed .

» this kinda blows

Why would he release it for only use on 3.10 OE? Doesnt he know most ppl dont use that because of the topmenu problem & no fix for cintro either. Most ppl are still at 3.02 & 3.03. That's whack.... whatever my select psx games run fine & i'd rather keep my psp's custom look. Thanks DAX on behalf of the haomebrew community, but no thanks in regards to myself.

D_A has already realeased a 3.02 pops for 3.03. Be greatful for what you already have. It's not like your paying for it. your lucky to have a 3.xx that can run 1.5 kernel. Damn man your a wimpering b!tch.

Re: axelixc - 2007-02-11

» dude

i never really like to change my xmb icon the way it already has. i prefer original icon with modified wave. looks clean yet nice to me. 1 more thing. 310 pops enhancement is always better than 302 - 303. since alex gave us the backward compatibility plugin for "FREE", wat the hack is wrong with u. not happy dun use...simple

Re: KEaton (Unregistered) - 2007-02-13

» same problem

I can get this to work with 3.11 dumped, but when I dump 3.02 and run this it says CANT START GAME, unless I use 3.11.

Re: I (Unregistered) - 2007-02-13

» I have the same problem too

Everytime I want to start a game it says "This game cannot be started. The data is corrupted" But it's definitely NOT corrupted, because the game worked on 3.03 OE-C. It also doesn't ask me which pops i want to use.
What do I have to do? The plugin is enabled and I put all prx in the right place!

run umd's like normal, you don't need devhook on OE's. iso's run in the iso folder and show up in the game folder, you still need a disk to run the games unless you set the recovery menu setup to run w/o umd. hope that helps.
