In the recovery of ARK-4 there is the option.
Ah the Memory Stick Speed Up option. Yeah it works very well, I recommend to always have it enabled. For the record, I though you were refering to some henkaku setting.

BTW guys I just released a new version with several improvements and bug fixes, specially in the custom launcher.

How do i switch from PRO to ARK? and is PRO or ARK better?
Install infinity in ofw, then install infinity, go back into infinity, press left, click on ark to where there's an asterisk next to it, press home, then cross to exit, when it gets back to the xmb, turn off the system and turn it back on, check in system settings to see if it says ark.

Kinda unsure how to update a preexisting ark install. Just replace the save folder?

nm, I figured it out. have to boot into ofw (home plus power button), then transfer over the ark123 and arklive folders. load arklive to replace the necessary files, then you're done. :)

Does it only happen to that game?
I haven't been through all of my games but actualy:
lunar silver star harmony undub
valkyrie profile
crush (eu)
kingdom hearts bbs (eu)
parappa the rapper (eu)
prince of persia rival swords
silent hill origins (eu)


All crash with the same error (blackscreen then error at launch) I'm on ark-4 4.18.7 (yesterday's build) no plugin. Henkaku enso 3.60. That's about 1 on 4 games.
I don't know if they launched on previous build cause I didn't try them then.

Also tony hawk's project 8(eu) gets stuck on memory stick verification at launch (with and without High speed memory stick option).

Does memory card speed up decrease battery life?

@Windows_10_User , did you even read how to enable plugins? you need to create a plugins txt file, might be named that, then lump your vsh, game, and pop stuff into it, making a comma after each item. there are examples on ark's github. not very hard, and it won't interfere with your original plugins if you have pro or l(me). try it.

actually, I think the plugins.txt works for any cfw as I've tested pro and lme, and ps vita spoofer works in all without having to add it to vsh.txt.

Already did that, but CWCheat isn't working.

PS Vita spoofer?

yes, you can add a spoof to mac address or cfw. it also allows adding time settings, but it's in Japanese. remember, Japanese days of the week start with Monday, not Sunday.

Have you had any black screens when playing PSP ISOs?

It's confusing.
