PSP EBOOT Optimisations

[neogalahad]

 For some reason after I got the ray technique for Arche the game keeps freezing while in battle. Its really irritating. Does anyone know a solution besides turning off the technique? O and this is on the psp popstation. Maybe a different verion of popstation. Im ising 3.52 right now.

Make sure your Disc-Load Speed is set to Normal, not to Fast.  If that doesn't work, consider upgrading to M33 3.71-4.  Most people who were having trouble on other FWs seemed to solve their problems by doing so.

 Is there any dissadvantage upgrading? I read somewhere that there were problems with POPs unless they have a bugfix...I suppose I can try that. thanks for the advice

Well, if there are problems with POPS, there's a plugin packaged with the firmware that allows you to select your POPS version should that be a problem.  So even on the newest firmware, you should be able to use whatever POPS you want if you know what you're doing.  At least that's my understanding and experience.

 Yeah I already have that with my 3.52 m33-4, I also have cwcheat which is awesome because you can play the game on your ps2 and use your psp as a memory card and then play on the go with pops. I also extracted my old memory card to play Grandia on my psp. I had 40 hours that I didnt want to play over.

 OOOO! I figured it out. I had found some cool icons and backgrounds for the game and used 'simple popstation GUI 3' on my windows vista when my original eboot was from my laptop on windows xp with popstation 4. The GUI 3 was easy to use but obviously flawed. I did everything the same but I think in the process of compressing it left some data out because with the same compression level the size was slightly smaller.

SO I grabbed my old eboot and it works fine. I guess stick with the basics huh? Thanks for your help anyway though.
