POPSLoader 1.4.1
POPSLoader 1.4.1
A maintenance release on top of 1.4.0: one launch fix for Adaptive BDMA and an updated UDPFS driver pair.
Changes
- Adaptive BDMA off (#616): a launch on the device the chosen BDMA Mode serves now restages that mode when the memory card has lost it, instead of failing with "mass:/POPS/POPS.ELF not found". FAT32 (None) and other non-UDPFS launches write nothing; UDPFS launches still stage their own pair when it is missing.
- UDPFS driver: the embedded pair moves to Okeanos' UDPFS Assault TEST (2026-10-28 pre-release). Server
POPS/<game>.cue/.CUEfiles are listed once as<game>.VCD, which the driver builds on the fly. - Credits and docs: credit links and wiki updates merged since 1.4.0.
Installation
Use PS1_POPSLOADER-1.4.1.zip for the complete kit, PS1_POPSLOADER.psu for the application only, or POPSLOADER.ELF alone. Setup notes: UDPFS setup and limitations.
Validation and limits
Assets come from the exact passing master CI run. Hardware: NOT TESTED for both changes; physical-console UDPFS launch and VMC save/reload acceptance remain unverified. Ember is unchanged upstream Beta-2. Supply your own BIOS, games and proprietary Sony POPS components.
