POPStarter Configuration Table – Advanced Settings
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This documentation concerns the advanced configuration of POPStarter r13, involving the harcoding (or the patch-on-load) of settings to the POPStarter ELF/KELF…
The POPStarter r13 ELF and KELF have a 32 bytes long configuration table, starting from the offset $410 (or 1040 in decimal).
Default values :
Caution : Unless you know exactly what it is for and what you’re doing, please don’t tamper with it. Hexediting of that stuff is for advanced users only. Make a backup of the default config before you start changing values.
| Offset | Description | Values | Notes | |||||
| $410 | Display of the debug texts/pages | 0×00 = disables the debug printing | ||||||
| 0×01 < X < 0xFF = defines the delay between each page of texts | The higher the value is, the longer the delay is | |||||||
| 0xFF = the debug texts are displayed in realtime without delay (like in POPStarter 12 and lower) | ||||||||
| $411 | Break the POPStarter execution after an error has occured | 0×00 = POPStarter prints the error message for a short time, then it kicks the user to the OSD. | ||||||
| 0×0X POPStarter prints the error message and sleeps on that screen indefinitely | ||||||||
| $412 | SetGsCrt hack | 0×00 = disabled (default) | ||||||
| 0×01 = enabled | Helps with the HDTVs that can’t deal with the interlaced resolutions thru component (plain green screens and other rubbish displayed otherwise). | |||||||
| $413 | USB access delay, after the execution of the POPStarter embedded USB modules | 0×02 should be fine. Increase the value if POPStarter fails to access your USB device | ||||||
| $414 | RESERVED (in USB operation mode) | Must be 0×40 | ||||||
| $415 | User ID for individual VMCs | If set to 0×00, the function is disabled. | For assigning an ID to the couple of VMC, the value must be an ASCII character of “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8” or “9” | |||||
| $416 | POPS dev9 module loading (in USB operation mode) | 0×00 = Let POPS load it Default is 0×03. If you need to wake the NIC up (for debugging stuff for example), set this to 0×00 | ||||||
| 0×03 = Forbids its loading | ||||||||
| $417 | NOT USED | |||||||
| $418 | Force a single compatibility mode | 0×00 = No compatibility mode is forced | ||||||
| 0×0X = the respective compatibility mode is forced and the automatic activator gets disabled | ||||||||
| $419 | Force a single compatibility mode | 0×00 = No compatibility mode is forced | ||||||
| 0×0X = the respective compatibility mode is forced and the automatic activator gets disabled | ||||||||
| $41A | Force a single compatibility mode | 0×00 = No compatibility mode is forced | ||||||
| 0×0X = the respective compatibility mode is forced and the automatic activator gets disabled | ||||||||
| $41B | Force a single compatibility mode | 0×00 = No compatibility mode is forced | ||||||
| 0×0X = the respective compatibility mode is forced and the automatic activator gets disabled | ||||||||
| $41C | Force a single compatibility mode | 0×00 = No compatibility mode is forced | ||||||
| 0×0X = the respective compatibility mode is forced and the automatic activator gets disabled | ||||||||
| $41D | Force a single compatibility mode | 0×00 = No compatibility mode is forced | ||||||
| 0×0X = the respective compatibility mode is forced and the automatic activator gets disabled | ||||||||
| $41E | Force a single compatibility mode | 0×00 = No compatibility mode is forced | ||||||
| 0×0X = the respective compatibility mode is forced and the automatic activator gets disabled | ||||||||
| $41F | Force a single compatibility mode | 0×00 = No compatibility mode is forced | ||||||
| 0×0X = the respective compatibility mode is forced and the automatic activator gets disabled | ||||||||
| $420 | Patch the genuine HDD check | 0×00 = Don’t patch | Totally useless. When running in a PS2, a homebrew ATAD is used. When running in a PSX, the original POPS ATAD is used. Leave it to 0×01 | |||||
| 0×01 = Patch | ||||||||
| $421 | Loading and execution of the OSD shell of the POPS built-in BIOS | 0×00 = Load in the user memory and execute (don’t patch anything) | 0×01 has the same effect as the compatibility mode 0×06. Skips the CD checks and the PS logo. Both don’t work if the user uses a BIOS.BIN | |||||
| 0×01 = Don’t load, don’t execute | ||||||||
| $422 | Exception breakpoints control | 0×00 = Break the emulator (don’t patch anything) | 0×01 NOPs the break instructions of the 2nd-stage exception handler, allowing the user to trigger IGR after the emulation has crashed (in a few cases) | |||||
| 0×01 = Don’t break the emulator | ||||||||
| $423 | Original SLBB-00001 disc0 integrity check control | 0×00 = Don’t skip the integrity check | ||||||
| 0×01 = Skip the integrity check | ||||||||
| $424 | IGR exit method | 0×00 = Original SLBB-00001+PSBBN method | 0×00 causes the emulator to read the MBR by its own, without flushing the cache and without resetting the IOP. Crashy for most users. | |||||
| 0×01 = POPStarter r13 method | ||||||||
| $425 | IOPCD stack size (in USB operation mode) | 0×00 = Don’t patch | ||||||
| 0×01 = Patch | ||||||||

0×01 = Apply those to POPS | ||||
| $427 | Emulator modules loading failure | 0×00 = Don’t patch (Kick to the PS2 OSD) | For your h4×0ring needz. . Patch it so you no longer have to care about the returned code of your injected IRX. | |||||
| 0×01 = Patch (Ignore and continue) | ||||||||
| $428 | Internal HDD initialization failure | 0×00 = Don’t patch (Kick to the PS2 OSD) | For your h4×0ring needz. | |||||
| 0×01 = Patch (Ignore and continue) | ||||||||
| $429 | Virtual Memory Cards control | 0×00 = Use both VMCs | ||||||
| 0×01 = Don’t use VMCs at all | ||||||||
| 0×02 = Use just the first VMC in the first virtual slot | ||||||||
| $42A | Automatic PAL patch upon European VCD recognition | 0×00 = Disabled | The Automatic PAL Patcher of POPStarter expects “Euro” at the offset $102514 of the VCD | |||||

| $42B | Resident modules loader | 0×00 = Disabled | POPS/MODULE_0.IRX POPS/MODULE_1.IRX… up to POPS/MODULE_9.IRX. Are executed AFTER the IOP gets reset with IOPRP252.IMG, for Great Justice. | |||||
| 0×01 = Enabled | ||||||||
| $42C | Software PowerOff fix | 0×00 = Disabled | Can’t remember what it is. Perhaps it’s a redundant option of a deimplemented function… Prolific, mass ? | |||||
| 0×01 = Enabled | ||||||||
| $42D | IGR textures loader | 0×00 = Disabled | POPS/IGR_BG.TM2 POPS/IGR_NO.TM2 POPS/IGR_YES.TM2 | |||||
| 0×01 = Enabled | ||||||||
| $42E | Game license/region check of the POPS built-in BIOS | 0×00 = Leave unpatched | The patch just NOPs the loop. The PS logo is not shown when a non-JAP game is run. | |||||
| 0×01 = Patch it so it does not loop the check when the VCD isn’t NTSC J | ||||||||
| $42F | POPStarter automatic compatibility mode activator | 0×00 = Do not enable anything | If set to 0×03 and a compatibility mode is forced, it will be changed to 0×02 automatically (applies the forced modes and not the automatic ones) | |||||
| 0×01 = Enable the automatic compatibility modes activation | ||||||||
| 0×02 = Enable the other subroutines (like LibCrypt cracks, when available) | ||||||||
| 0×03 = Enable all | ||||||||
| 0×04 = Enable “test mode” | “Test mode” disables per-game fixes, automated compatibility modes, LibCrypt fixes, and enables integrated test-hacks |
