Dark_Alex's fix for the PSX error in 5.00 M33
Dark_Alex has posted a solution to users who are experiencing error 0xFFFFFFFF while trying to load PSX games.
This is a bug in M33 code that is caused sometimes with certain icons.
I’m not gonna bother do an update only for this but I’ll post the file that fixes this for anyone wanting to fix it manually replacing the file.
This also fixes document.dat not working.
There is also a work around either by use the original command line PSX conversion tool or you can just select the “Old Default” icon in the options in PSX2PSP.
Dark_Alex has supplied these mirrors for the fixed popcorn.prx

5.00 M33 out now
Its only been a few days and Dark_AleX has released 5.00 M33 at lightning speed.
Apart from the obvious firmware number change (see below), this update comes with a bug fix.
Dark_AleX:
Bug fix: when changing speed in xmb, and the psp turned the brightness to 0 automatically the speed was reseted to 222 again.
The readme also mentions that users of the save state plugin will have to wait for an update due to problems with compatibility.

The wait is finally over! Dark_Alex has released DCv6, so we can all relax (a little) regarding the new TA-088 mobos wreaking havoc in the CFW scene… Also, the new version allows you to boot from the memstick as well as a new interface! Changelog after read more.

The new TA-088 Motherboard/CPU issue has been examined, and DA is working on it! The problem seems to base from not just the new motherboards, but the new CPU’s being installed. Some TA-088s can be flashed, so it’s kind of a gamble at this point. Dark_Alex has stated that the problem has to do with the core of Despretar Cementario runs off of 1.50/3.40, something that evidently the new CPU’s can’t handle. A new version of Despretar Cementario will not be realeased until they have remade the Core.
More on this issue and the quote from Alek himself will be found after the read more tag
