1.2.2

POPSLoader 1.2.2 is a documentation fix. The launcher code is identical to 1.2.1 apart from the version stamp.

Changes since 1.2.1:

  • Correct the exFAT (BDMAssault) setup steps. The two drivers go only in the memory card's POPSTARTER folder: mc?:/POPSTARTER/usbd.irx and mc?:/POPSTARTER/usbhdfsd.irx. The docs site also told you to copy them into mc?:/SYS-CONF/, which POPStarter never reads. Those are FreeMcBoot's own USB drivers, and replacing them can stop FMCB from booting.
  • If you followed the old step and FMCB no longer boots, put FMCB's original USBD.IRX and USBHDFSD.IRX back into mc?:/SYS-CONF/ (they are in the FMCB installer's INSTALL/SYS-CONF folder).
  • You normally don't need to copy these drivers at all: with Adaptive BDMA on (the default), POPSLoader stages the right pair into mc?:/POPSTARTER/ when you launch a game.
  • The docs site's PS2 orb cursor and favicons are now built from tracked source, so site rebuilds keep them.

Validation: the release build passed the pinned PS2 build, the PNG decoder cases under ASan/UBSan, the 55-check Lua host harness, and the documentation consistency checks. 1.2.1's hardware-validation status carries over unchanged (RGB cover, MX4SIO art path, and SMB handoff fixes are still pending PS2 validation); publication is not a new hardware pass.

Install: extract PS1_POPSLOADER.zip using your existing installation layout, or replace the launcher with the standalone POPSLOADER.ELF. Existing settings and game folders are preserved. POPStarter and its bundled variants are included; the non-redistributable POPS engine binaries are not included.

Version: 1.2.2 (Settings > About: v1.2.2).
Source: 03546d5.
