MechaPwn 3.0 Release Candidate 4 (RC4)
Pre-release
Pre-release
⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ WARNING! Model name will not change, but mechapwn will work! Force unlock will break FreeDVDBoot and PS1 games. If you change the region on Deckard (75k+) consoles, FMCB need to be installed cross-region, otherwise FMCB autoboot will stop to work. 70k consoles with mechacon 6.02 will stop to boot FreeDVDBoot! You are warned. ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️
3.0 RC4
Changes over 3.0 RC3:
- Added pre-Dragon model limited support (SCPH-1xxxx, SCPH-3xxxxx). Currently only support information page and backup/restore NVRAM functions.
- Fixed PAL/NTSC video mode change, now it is changing only on Deckard according to the selected region
- PS1 disk detection speedup up to 7 seconds faster. This is achieved by preserving the mechacon region setting. Note: you will notice speedup only if the game region matches the console's current region. Probably this will also speed up PS2 game media (not tested).
- Now mechacon region is preserved for non-Deckard consoles. RC3 has the mechacon region hardcoded to Japan, now it will try to preserve the current region or tries to choose the most compatible one if the mechacon region doesn't match bootrom region. Note: non-Deckard users with non-standard region consoles (like Russia, Mexico, Korea, Oceania, and Taiwan) that installed 3.0 RC3: restore your NVRAM backup and install 3.0RC4 over it to keep your original mechacon region.
- PSX DESR fixed black screens on exit
