Hmm, that was fast! Dark AleX has already released CFW 5.00 M33-2, despite his earlier guesstimate of being able to release it by Thursday. The new CFW includes some of the popcorn fixes he’s talked about earlier, but as for a detailed account on its specific changelog, here we go:
Changes:
- Popcorn bug fixes
- Fixed bug that caused some games with certain icons not to work, and caused document.dat not to work.
- Fixed critical bug that caused continous corruption of psx games in RAM.
- Core bugfix: Fixed sctrlKernelSetInit* functions not working.
- M33 network update doesn’t work in 5.00 M33, fixed.
- Added the posibility of loading version information from the file flash0:/vsh/etc/version.txt
- By default is disabled. If you enable it in recovery, you could for example dump 5.01 firmware, copy the version.txt from it to the flash, and bypass firmware check restrictions like those that may be in psn, etc.
- This will also fake official network update (not m33 one), and running the update eboot (again, not m33 ones).
- Plugins configuration file format changed. The new format is as follows:
- There is no more conf.bin file.
- Now each line in vsh.txt game.txt and pops.txt will have a 0 or a 1 at the end. 1 indicates that the plugin will be loaded, 0 (or anything else) that it won’t be loaded.
- Entering in recovery in 5.00 M33-2 wil automatically convert the old format configuration to the new one (this may cause a delay first time you enter in plugins because of conversion).
- Added optins under advanced configuration that allow enable/disable of plugins in a certain configuration. By default they are enabled.
Thanks to gigabit77 for the tip!

*Updatye* What the–?! Well now, I didn’t even have time to blink there. Dark AleX has now also released the latest version of the Popsloader app! As he states, this is the “popsloader for 5.00 M33-2 and up (until Sony screws it again).” Nice.
Notes from DAX:
- Requeiments:
- 5.00 M33-2, it won’t work in 5.00 M33-1
- New:
- Works on 5.00.
- Added 3.80, 3.90 and 4.01.
Upgrade from older version of popsloader:
- Copy seplugins to memstick root folder replacing files.
- Dump 4.01 (choose decrypt all option in psardumper) and copy the file impose.prx in /seplugins/popsloader/ with that name (impose.prx, without numbers)
Install from scratch:
- Copy seplugins to memstick root folder replacing files.
- Dump the desired firmware to extract the files needed. (choose decrypt all option in psardumper)
Thse are the files needed for each firmware:
- 3.02-3.03: /kd/pops.prx, /kd/popsman.prx, /kd/meaudio.prx, /vsh/module/pafmini.prx
- 3.10-3.30: /kd/pops.prx, /kd/popsman.prx, /vsh/module/pafmini.prx
- 3.40-4.01: /kd/pops.prx, /kd/popsman.prx, /vsh/module/pafmini.prx, /vsh/module/libpspvmc.prx
Copy the files to /seplugins/popsloader with firmware version as suffix (e.g. popsman.prx -> popsman380.prx)
Additionally, no matter which pops you want to run, you have to get impose.prx from 4.01 and copy it to /seplugins/popsloader/ with the name impose.prx (no suffix).
