5.00m33 Popsloader Install

Ok, so this update has confused me entirely. And, upon updating too 5.00m33-3 for the new pops its really tiring me down. I need help :x

http://www.dark-alex.org/forum/viewtopi ... =44&t=1847

Requeiments:

- 5.00 M33-2, it won't work in 5.00 M33-1

Will it work on 5.00 m33-3?

Ok so this is what it says:

- 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)


So I did Copy seplugins to memstick root folder replacing files. However, exactly HOW do I dump 4.01? this is what I asked myself. And so, at this point, I deleted the seplugins off of my psp card.

Now:

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).


Ok, so installing from scratch, i understand most of this and downloaded the PSardumper from: http://dark-alex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=3147.

However, i have no knowledge as to how the pasardumper works and so I didn't bother attempting to use it. And even if I did I wouldn't know what I would have to do to attain those prx files.

So I searched googled for a simple solution and found this: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showth ... p?t=167654

I attempted running this without any pops plugin on my psp and it did nothing, i attempted doing it with older pops on my psp and after doing so, in the list it had over 4.01 and stuff but, it would shut down when selecting a pops.

I would like to know how to do this manually, or know if theres another source for this that actually works.

I would also like to know why dark alex DIDN'T include all the files with this new pops release.

And, if I have to this manually I would like a full step noob-ified instructions as to what I have to do to dump the required files. Also, if someone provides me with a rar or zip with the files required (with suffix's already included, or in corresponding folder names) I would like a set of instructions along with it.

I don't want to stuff anything up, and I downloaded many iso's thinking the iso's were bad :x Turns out my pops just ain't working.

My current status: Deleted the seplugins folder on my psp, however I have the 5.00 pops and the one before it somewhere on my comp.
