that I don't know. I think there's another underlying problem on your end. it's probably related to the vsh or vsh plugin. that would cause slowdown or slowness.

Not the slow down bug, no. Just the one that refuses to play certain PSP games for whatever reason.

I just tried the standalone ARK-4 on the PS Vita and not only it's not slow when loading my PSP games but I'm also not having the slowness issue I did when playing them on Adrenaline. I'll install it on the PS TV too and install ARK-4 on the PSP as well.

I installed it on my psp today. I had issues with black screen and powering off with infinity. I had to use chronoswitch to revert to ofw.

How did you install it, over PRO-C? When did those black screen issues occur? I don't know if it's worth it, then. I have Infinity and PRO-C. Also, does Chronoswitch have to be used to remove Infinity?

I don't get if ARK4.zip's VitaBubble's K.BIN and PBOOT.PBP should be used besides H.BIN in the PS Vita's case.

I think you need to install it on ofw. If you're on cfw, hold home at boot to boot into ofw. Use the installer for each cfw, then use infinity to switch between them. I have quadruple boot now. :D

It's so confusing. So, is it possible to install ARK-4 using Infinity but are/is PRO-C and/or LME needed too? But I only want to have permanent ARK-4, not PRO-C and/or LME too. If the PS button just as to be held at boot to run OFW, then why did you use Chronoswitch?

It seems PSP's ARK keeps the XMB unlike PS Vita's.

How can DLC be installed on the PSP? It seems some of it come as save data, which I find it odd.

This is very confusing. So, is it possible to install ARK using Infinity but one has to have Pro-C or LME too? But I only want to have permanent ARK-4 (and OFW, even though I only wanted to have Pro-CFW/ARK-4), not it with Pro-C or LME (triple boot) too. If one just has to hold the home button at boot to boot into OFW then why did you use Chromoswitch?

It looks like PSP's ARK-4 keeps the XMB unlike PS Vita's.
no, you can have as many or as few cfw installed as you want. I had to use chronoswitch, because I was getting a black screen and power off whenever I used infinity to change firmwares. ofw worked fine, so I wiped infinity and all other cfws, and I installed ofw. then, I reinstalled everything via ofw. I think that was the issue, either that, or there was something corrupted somewhere after installing infinity.

Maybe ARK-4 was the culprit? So, Infinity detects ARK-4, thus PRO-C and/or LME don't/doesn't need to be installed beforehand? Also, how can ARK-4 be booted and vice-versa while on PRO-C/LME?

you don't need the other cfw. I don't think you can not have ofw. it's probably meant to be a safeguard, because it's untouched.

I didn't even know OFW could be booted after installing Infinity. Anyway, what are the steps to only have permanent ARK-4? Install OFW, install ARK-4 next and then use Infinity?

yes, and then mark the cfw you want to boot by going back into infinity. it's the same for the other cfw. I knew you could boot into ofw, but I didn't know the button to press. I started testing buttons, and I eventually found it, home.

So, I just have to check ARK-4 on Infinity?

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it
