I recovered back to 1.50
And then went up to 3.40 OE-A
There must have been a pops compatibility upgrade somewhere between 3.10 and 3.40
that made it possible to play some of the PS1 games that I couldnt using 3.02pops.
I have been using 3.10+Popsloader for a long time now and don't like flashing if I really don't have too.
Anyways I am much happier with 3.40OEA running everything I want it too.
I'll wait for 3.51 M33 to mature a bit before going back up.
