The ARK-4 project has recently achieved the milestone of 1000 stars, and we wanted to issue a big THANK YOU to all of our users.
This release packs quite some punch, mostly QoL improvements like small bug fixes, translation fixes, etc
But the main "Selling Point" of this release is something that UMD Videophiles are gonna love.
We have changed the way you browse and mount UMD Video ISOs.
Previously, and on any other CFW, you could only view your installed Video ISOs in the VSH Menu and mount them from there.
VSH Menu isn't the prettiest thing out there and I have been very vocally against it as I consider it to be outdated and unnecessary,
but we keep it there for nostalgia and also as a dumpster for small features most people don't care about but are nice to have.
So we got rid of the section in VSH Menu that allows you mount your Video ISOs. But fear not, we have replaced this with a much better alternative.
From now on, all UMD Video ISOs (those located in /ISO/VIDEO/ folder) will be browsable and mountable via the XMB Video section itself, the same exact way you browse and launch your regular Game ISOs in the Game section.
This makes handling UMD Video ISOs feel a lot more official, better looking and comfortable to browse, with support for non-latin characters in the file name, and the ability to have your own custom thumbnails by placing them in the /VIDEO/ folder with .jpg format and the same file name as the Video ISO as it now makes use of the XMB Video browser features.
For the rest of you that don't really care about this, the update also contains bug fixes and other small improvements that you will probably benefit from.
