The new release has some issues.
1. Can't leave the recovery
2. The screen when pressing the home button (to exit from a game) is all blocks and doesn't work.

I'm checking it out. There's some compatibility issues that arise when using PRO rebootex to launch ARK, I'm looking for a workaround.

there's no real reason to have it installed on external too.

There are many systems with dead ef0 memory.

Then install on external. Whichever works for you.

Disable TempAR, seems to cause issues.

Hey guys, big new release!
I have managed to add compatibility with ARK on the Infinity bootloader, you can now tripple boot ARK, PRO and ME!
Instructions are simple:
- Install ARK Live (NOT the ARK PRO Updater, but the regular ARK Live installer/loader/).
- Update Infinity with new release.

New release (including latest ARK and Infinity installers): https://github.com/PSP-Archive/ARK-4/releases/tag/r90-rev1

This issue unfortunately still exists on the latest update. I forgot which file it was that causes the issue.

The main problem is with the high memory layout. I recommend disabling that setting until I can fix it.

I noticed that I can't start infinity 2.0.4 through OFW (when I boot when pressing the home button). Is that a new issue on the update?

I was able to run infinity installer fine, If using a GO then make sure to rename the eboot to remove the "go" from it.

EDIT: dayviewer plugin doesn't work, no crashes or anything just doesn't seem to load.
Confirmed the same plugin does work with LME

is there a possibility to run psx on ps vita with sound? adrenaline contains a lot of frame skipping and slowdowns.

Is PS1 broken on Vita? It just takes me back to the livearea.
And is npdrm_free plugin not compatible on Vita?

This is for PSP games only when running on Vita.

It should be possible to make a standalone PS1 loader for ARK to run PS1 games (like we did back in 3.20 with PS1 exploits). I'm not very much into PS Vita scene though so don't count on it.

New release fixes issues with high memory layout (need to update both ARK and Infinity with the ones provided).

For some reason, none of my games start up anymore. The PSP freezes and shuts off. I disabled all game plugins and high memory layout.

I did recently flash PSP Normal Boot Loader on my SD card, in order to boot normally from my pandora battery (but it doesn't work, unfortunately). Perhaps this affected it?

Seems like there is an IPL SDK, would be nice to have an updated IPL that works with Infinity.

I've never actually tried ARK with CIPL or pandora related stuff, only live or through infinity. Might be interesting to check it out.
