Isn't it version.txt that gets changed in etc. Not vsh.txt?

No, I'm not touching the flash files. The vsh.txt, game.txt, and pops.txt uses a new style of config now and I upgraded my app accordingly.

Just a side note

I just reformatted my MS both with the PSP, and after that with Windows XP.

It seems it is not injecting the IPL on the stick.
I have a Pandora batt and an additional magic MS just to check if the batt still works. But...
The newly formatted stick doesn't boot up the PSP anymore... any idea's on what is going wrong?

@djBo

I'll do some more in-depth testing and find out...

DJB,

Don't worry... it was my own silly mistake...

The policy on my work pc doesn't allow me access to format my stick...

I shall try tonight at home, and I am pretty sure it will function as it's supposed to...
Heh.. the previous versions works flawlessly ;))

Hiya!

Just wondering if this makes the emulators work or helps make the emulators work?

I followed the emulator guide in the Tutorial section and I ended up with some corrupted data and none of them worked. Always got the same error. Oh, in case you wonder, I got SLIM and atm CFW 3.90 M33-3.

ATTN: The people who made this thing

You mind telling us how to use that 5.00 M33-3 MMS WITHOUT using this?

It's obviously possible, but given the way you have it set up it looks like you want us to be dependent on you.

And in a community like this, that's kinda terrible.

I think its because the version of the unrar.dll I'm using isn't 64 bit friendly. That's the only thing I can think of.

# S-NEON 2008-10-25 06:47
Any ideas what we can do to make it work? Can i do something to unrar.dll?

# DJB 2008-10-25 09:18
You could maybe try a 64-bit version of the unrar.dll. For the next version I've taken out the RAR option and went back to what I had with 2.3, so it should be more 64-bit friendly next time.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

# gremsoldier 2008-10-25 18:51

Normally vista isn't the best to use for things like 'BOS' its better if you use windows xp as it works well for me and vista doesn't.

# artisan 2008-10-27 23:08
btw, does this install the popcorn fix too?

# DJB 2008-10-28 07:54
You have to change the button configuration as the last thing, when everything you want is enabled. BTW, the only way you can install 5.00 M33-3 (which includes the popcorn fix) is via Hellcat's Recovery Flasher, which you have to access via the ELF Menu.
