FasterARK changelog

ARK 5.1.0

• Improved built-in Anti-DRM patches. Can now load PSN games and DLC either encrypted or not.
• Allow for user to choose MS Cache size between 4KiB, 8KiB and 16KiB.
• Improve user control over extra ram usage.

DC 10.12

• Fixed WLAN when recovering a later model PSP.
• Fixed unbricker on PSP Go.

Extra RAM Options

• Off: completely turns off extra ram use. This is similar to stock behavior.
• Default: merge extra ram into user partition only on homebrew with MEMSIZE flag. This is equivalent to ARK-4 and Adrenaline-7 behavior.
• Auto: does not merge extra ram into user partition but loads user plugins on extra ram to preserve space on user partition.
• Force +16MiB: forces 16MiB of extra ram to be merged into user partition for a total of 40MiB of user ram.
• Force MAX: forces the maximum possible extra ram to be merged into user partition for a total of 55MiB on PSP or 52MiB on Vita.

** Homebrew with MEMSIZE can override the behavior of Auto and Forced modes. Homebrew with MEMSIZE=1 will Force MAX and MEMSIZE=2 will Force +16MiB, unless extra ram is turned off.

** Even if turned off, extra ram is still accessible by user (it is just never merged with user partition).
Unlike OFW where it would cause a crash if user directly accesses extra ram or an error code if it tries to allocate from it, CFW allows for both.
This behavior is for old homebrew compatibility purposes and cannot be fully disabled.
