Dark_AleX's POPSloader plugin for 3.00 to 3.11

Posted Feb 11, 2007 at 1:36PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Homebrew Applications, News Tags: Custom Firmware, Dark AleX, Dark-AleX, homebrew community
Ó


PSP - Image 1 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 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.

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)

» 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 .

by Its a me ......... ? - 2007-02-11 09:37
» 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.

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.

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.

I just updated from FW1.5 to 3.10 oe A and had wanted to play a PSX game but I can't figure out what I need to do with this plugin? I copied psar_dump2 to the GAME folder and put firmware 3.11 with it (according to this readme) but I can't run PSAR dumper v2b from the XMB (it gives me the error "Game could not be started 8002014C). I just want to be able to play Castlevania SOTN and FF VII, any suggestions to fixing this? Thanks

by Wicked Insider - 2007-02-11 14:30
» Hmmm

Well, I don't know about you guys but I'd like DA to include the support in the XMB to play 7z format games like any other

ISO BIN CSO formats. I have yet to figure out how to use my 7z formatted games but it would be nice if I didn't need a

special app just to use them.



Helpfull advice appreciated.

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.

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.

» 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

game.dax already has problem emulating the speed coz it 3rd level of compression. what about 7zip? dude it can never achieve playable speed coz it's being compressed far more level deeper than .dax file.

» which popstation?

Which Popstation version did you use to convert them in the first place? If you used the popstation from 3.02 then they won't work in 3.10. You need to redo them with the popstation from 3.03. I got my PSX games working fine but they were done using 3.03

» Praise be to the Almighty Sony

My younglings, be calm with yourselves and your small insignificant PSP's. One day you will all realize that Mr. AleX never was; his fictional existance in short was for Sony's benefit and theirs alone. It was created by Sony to exploit the many dimensions of the PSP. The fictional character Dark_AleX and all its attributes were created for pure advertisment. Sony created firmwares and Dark_AleX for their own ambitious reasons; some being that they wanted little preteen children to mass themselves around the world of PSP, to sell, to obsess, to usurp, and assume they have overwhelming control around the technical language of cryptography. You've all been dooped, Mr. AleX has never been. Even the undiluted platinum mod chip was created by Sony themselves. It is all under thier control. You have all lost my dear mentally defective simpletons. Licensures or not, Sony only cares about one thing... Sales. Which you have all so ingnorantly helped improve.



It has been fun my younglings, do keep in touch. You are all very very very special...
