Just want to thank Dark_Alex for all his work. Another update, and it’s only been a few days! And I must say I LOVE the ability to download new M33 updates though Network Update.

I’m having a problem playing FF7 PS1 game. When I run the game in 3.80 M33-5, during the battle scenes, there are lines all over the screen, then afterwards, the text becomes all distorted. I reflashed my psp to 3.71 M33-2 and upgraded to M33-3 and tried it, it worked fine, and i upgraded to M33-4 and it works fine. I suspect it has to do with 3.80 version.

So tempted to download, but 3 things:
- Will I lose any data when upgrading from 3.71 M33-4?
- Are there any compatibility issues with 3.8?
- If all is good and I upgrade to 3.8, do I install all 5 upgrades, or are they cumulative?

Thanks for your help

pj:dude,get the latest popsloader for 3.80 m33 pls…

Are CPS1/2 and NeoGeo emulators still on the fritz?

PJ, send an email to baraa_rulz@hotmail.com and I’ll guide you on how to fix the problem, but you must first tell me what you are using. A little tip, 3.11 Popsloader fixes the problem.

Zerox, i just sent you an email.
I’m using the psp slim 3.71 M33-4 at the moment. No popsloader.

running the game fine.
but when I upgrade to 3.80 m33. That’s when the glitches come out.

You must use Popsloader v2 to enable everything, first install Popsloader v2 then follow my instructions in the email.

I’ve just downloaded 3.80 m33-5 CFW and 3.80 M33 v2 popsloader from http://www.dark-alex.org/.I wonder if i can play ps1:FFVII which I just downloaded? Seems to be a lot of people are having problem with this CFW? Is the latest pops still not compatible?

I notic that sleep mode wont work during any homebrews…when I turn my psp back out of sleep it jsut hard boots….

I need help with emulations etc. the whole psp hack thing. Why is it everytime I download a file like the new cfw why is it all gibberish what am I supposed to do with that? And do I need the 1.50 kernel thing that I don’t even know where to get?
