Dark Alex releases new custom firmware 5.00 M33-2

[wraggster]

New update of the Custom Firmware from Dark ALex

Changes:

- Popcorn bug fixes

* Fixed bug that caused some games with certain icons not to work, and caused document.dat not to work.

* Fixed critical bug that caused continous corruption of psx games in RAM.

- Core bugfix: Fixed sctrlKernelSetInit* functions not working.

- M33 network update doesn't work in 5.00 M33, fixed.

- Added the posibility of loading version information from the file flash0:/vsh/etc/version.txt

By default is disabled. If you enable it in recovery, you could for example dump 5.01 firmware,
copy the version.txt from it to the flash, and bypass firmware check restrictions like those that
may be in psn, etc.
This will also fake official network update (not m33 one), and running the update eboot (again, not m33 ones).

- Plugins configuration file format changed.

The new format is as follows:

* There is no more conf.bin file.
* Now each line in vsh.txt game.txt and pops.txt will have a 0 or a 1 at the end. 1 indicates
that the plugin will be loaded, 0 (or anything else) that it won't be loaded.

Entering in recovery in 5.00 M33-2 wil automatically convert the old format configuration
to the new one (this may cause a delay first time you enter in plugins because of conversion).

- Added optins under advanced configuration that allow enable/disable of plugins in a certain configuration.
By default they are enabled.

Whoa, that's a blazing quick update from the last one, keep up the great work Dark_Alex!

finally a bug fix now i defo have to update thanks again DAX

Awesome, Thanks Dark_Alex

Edit : First of all, the pops bug fixes are sweet. Final Fantasy 7 has never played so good, both sound effects are perfect (from what I can tell) and the wierd green screen glitches (from 5.0m33) are gone

Maybe a few other people could test some other PS1 games? Maybe we won't need popsloader as much or at all if these fixes are global.

If the pops is not fixed then you can always use the new popsloader anyways.

I just updated.
Pops is definitely better than ever.

I was really hoping for the 5.01 memory stick fix to be in this update but I guess I'll just try and use the new prx myself and see what happens.

Anyone know what the kernal bugfix changed?

um updated an now I have to muted icon on my psp an can't get sound to work >.<

[TheRisingExodus]

Excellent update. Installed it on my Slim as well as the new POPS and I'm loving it all.

No issues so far and everything works great.
