3.71 M33-3 + PopsLoader Released

[DarthPaul]

Dark_AleX updated his 3.71 Custom Firmware to revision 3 as mentioned a couple of days ago. And released the PopsLoader as well.

Changes in Custom Firmware:

- Fixed a bug in access to flash by usb.

- HEN core: kernel prx's with syscall exports work again.

- PSP Slim: programmers can set the size of user memory to 52 MB by using a sfo flag.
~Check sample in sdk for usage.~

- March33 NO-UMD driver:
* Fixed a bug that could hang the psp when exiting with home.
* Fixed compatibility issue with Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles, and maybe more games.

- Vshmenu: it wasn't displaying properly with PSP slim TV-OUT due to the change of resolution. Fixed.


Changes in PopsLoader:

- Support for 3.71 and 3.72 pops has been added. Note that 3.71 however will not appear in the
list in 3.71 M33 as it is not necessary.

List of files needed for each version:

3.00-3.03: kd/popsman.prx, kd/meaudio.prx, kd/pops.prx, vsh/module/pafmini.prx
3.10-3.30: kd/popsman.prx, kd/pops.prx, vsh/module/pafmini.prx
3.40-3.72: kd/popsman.prx, kd/pops.prx, vsh/module/pafmini.prx, vsh/module/libpspvmc.prx

The files must be decrypted. (use square in psardumper). Support for encrypted&packed files is planned
for the future.

Download: PBP Unpacker
Download: PSAR Dumper

That's it, Enjoy!

Awesome! Maybe I'll go back to 3.71 again.
Maybe.
EDIT: One question.
How do I get the POPS files? I don't have a clue how.
Thanks

You need to download this application from Dark_AleX's site. Extract the PSAR from each firmware Eboot with this one, and then put the PSAR extracted in your PSP and PSAR Dumper will make a dump of all the files of the firmware. Hope that helps.

Edit: I edited the first post with the links to the applications needed.

The DAX appears out of the Dark shadows and into the light once again.

Many thanks for all your efforts past and present.

Holy $#@!. I enabled POPSloader in recovery and it wouldn't go to the XMB. I thought I bricked.
Can it be the PRX's (some I used from my old POPSloader) or is it the POPS altogether?

That is supposed to be for 3.72 Firmware.

But you can take the files premo_plugin.prx and premo_plugin.rco off a 3.72 Firmware and flash them into your 3.71 Firmware and you'll have that feature in your 3.71.

Steampirate posted step by step instructions on another forum:

Download ofw 3.72
Download M33_NEWPSARDUMPER

Run Psardumper
Press Square
After it's done dumping, open USB Connection and copy premo_plugin.prx (f0\vsh\module) and premo_plugin.rco (f0\vsh\resource) and paste them somewhere for safe keeping
You can delete f0 now
Open recovery menu on PSP (right bumper and turn on with PSP still connected to PC)
Go to advanced
Select Toggle USB (flash0)
A new window should pop up on your PC
Make sure you have hidden files and system files viewable
Replace premo_plugin.prx (vsh\module) and premo_plugin.rco (vsh\resource) with the ones you copied
Select Toggle USB (flash0) to disable
Restart PSP
