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).

So, you're also having black screens?

no, other than the issue with infinity, which is correctable with chronoswitch. not sure if something was corrupted with all three firmwares. it was infinity, not ark, that was the problem as all gave me a black screen until I started over. it's not hard to fix if that happens to you.

Do you think PRO-C should be upgraded to ARK-4? Unfortunately, my PSP's microSD card adapter broke.

you won't be able to if you can't put anything on the memory stick. one thing for ark goes in the save folder, but you have to install arklive from the game folder, both on the memory stick or sd card adapter.

I think cipl is another way to make cfw permanent. just use infinity and have full control. it's slower, but much more convenient. if you use category lite, enable uncategorized files for the update folder, do your thing, then disable it.

It seems it only works for the PSP 1000 and some PSP 2000 so it doesn't work in my PSP (which is 3000). Is it easy to install ARK-4 while on Infinity and get rid of PRO-C?

they're just different cfw. you need to click on ark for it to load instead of pro. make sure there's an asterisk by it. when you open infinity, press left, click on the cfw you want, press home, cross, then when you get back on the xmb, turn off the system and turn it back on. you'll be on the new cfw. I just enabled memory stick speed up in the ark recovery menu. it does speed it up, but I don't know if it costs battery life.

PS Vita's standalone ARK-4's "Force Extra Memory" setting breaks games.
