No UMD update for M33 3.51 Custom Firmware

**jinqui242** · July 18th, 2007, 06:34

I thought updates were supposed to be a good thing. Why are there complaints? DA released around two updates for each OE (except the last one).

like i said earlier. it seems like they started this driver from scratch.

This patch allows you to run back-up's of your own games, if you choose to download illegal copies of games that you dont own then you are a pirate, plain and simple, but dont try and bring DC Emu down to that level please it is a good news site and is dedicated to giving us news of ALL developments in the PSP scene.

I don't pirate, and I'm not bringing down DCEmu, I just am wondering what changed in DCEmu's strictness of ISO talk (they still don't support them, but they aren't nearly as strict). What I first said was:

So I'm just saying is they didn't give us news of ALL developments before. And certainly we didn't have DIGG buttons for things that could run ISOs (we seem to only have DIGG buttons for releases we consider to be great or groundbreaking).

Opiate81 agrees with me that DevHook used to also load ISOs and we wouldn't even speak of a new release of it until someone patched it to not support ISOs, and if you talked about ISOs people would yell at you and not welcome you. Like I said, I'm just saying that DCEmu has changed.

Opiate81 pretty much answered that one, but basically DevHook was what everyone used before custom firmwares to load higher firmwares and like I mentioned, DCEmu wouldn't report a new release till there was a non-ISO patch

Anyways,Isos were never bad,and they still like that. What's really bad is the use you give to them.

DevHook may not have been as popular (for the simple reason that many, for lack of a better word, "noobs" had trouble with it) but it was very very close. And no, the problem with DevHook wasn't copyrighted files (that was just on one Japanese wiki site which ended up getting the cease and desist order from Sony), it was that we waited for a patch to disable the ISO loading capabilities from DevHook, which was my original argument...

OK, I'm sorry that was such a long post, but this thread was very active while I was gone and I still feel I should reply to those posts.

Also, I'm not saying DCEmu is bad, I'm just WONDERING what changed and why they now openly support ISO talk and put DIGG buttons when ISO loaders are improved, etc. I still like DCEmu, though

WOOOOOO PIRACYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just fuc!ing with you people if i was serious you peoples would be all be Pissy at me and $hit,anyways Metal slug anthology works it didnt work for me in 3.41OE-a and someone said it worked on this but in OE driver but still does that mean it works or did my rip just mess up?

I don't understand you people... You complain when there is no ISO talk, yet when something is advertised that helps ISO's you go ape $#@!.

Go figure
