ok, false alarm. i forgot to update the theme i currently use to the latest version ;)
everything working now
I've noticed that happens a lot actually. It's really important to change every file each time you update. Otherwise, troubles arise more often than not.

ok, i figured out why i see nothing while editing spoofer config in your file manager.
the spoofer config is in "UTF-16 LE BON" format which is probably not supported ;)
when i changed its format to "UTF-8" editor viewed it correctly.

New release here:
https://github.com/PSP-Archive/ARK-4/releases/tag/r41918

Brings a few fixes and a cool enhancement to the plugin system.

The release notes mention games crashing, but this also fixes an issue with the built in FTP when the system goes to sleep.

I had just noticed that when the system went to sleep while using the FTP, you could wake the system but it would only show the custom launcher background. The only way to fix it was to remove the battery.

I was going to report a bug, but I saw the new release. I just checked and it fixed it. Nice.

I had no idea about this bug and I have no idea what fixed it. Though I did some changes to the launcher/recovery code I don't recall touching FTP stuff, though who knows maybe it was a GUI thing that got fixed and it affected the FTP since I did change some of the GUI code.
In any case, lets hope it doesn't break again (do let me know IF it breaks again).

Greetings! I'm new to the PSP scene. I recently bought a 3010, which is a Brazilian model, currently running 6.61 PRO-C(infinity symbol). I've been trying to get Ark working so I can watch the UMD movies I have, but I'm confused as to how to get everything set up. Wondering if someone could help me along. Thanks in advance!

Go to recovery menu (via VSH menu), scroll down to the last options, select the region and exit, wait for XMB to load and insert the UMD.
I don't see the option. Here's what I have on the Recovery Menu:
Toggle USB
Run the Recovery EBOOT
Configuration
Advanced
CPU Speed
Plugins
Registry Hacks
Shutdown Device
Suspend Device
Reset Device
Reset VSH

This is the PRO Recovery Menu, not Ark.

then you're not really running ARK. Try booting the PSP while holding home button, this should boot into OFW, from where you can run ARK loader.
