DEVHOOK Launcher/VSHEX Mod 1.65c

Here is a small update, mainly for Korean user.

Version 1.65c
- Compatible with 2.71SE-B
- Added Korean font (generated from TrueType font) and language file by friends from Korea
- Added Chinese game title macro "names.big5" by friend from Taiwan
- Added Simplified Chinese help file by CrUmp Zhao
- Updated Portuguese Brazil language and help file by Pender666

Notes for nandflash mode in SE-A/B
Don't copy any file/folder to game150 folder
If you're using 1.50 homebrew through the recovery settings you must put the % eboot folder in the game271 folder. (SE-B)
If you're using 2.71 homebrew through the recovery settings you must put the % eboot folder in the game folder.
To know if nandflash mode will work or not with this mod, in the devhook menu at the bottom right hand corner you should read FW version:2.71/2.71SE. If it reads 1.50/2.71SE nandflash mode won't work and u screwed something up with putting the eboot in the right folder.

PSP Settings Corruption Problem

Since some user report the PSP settings corruption problem, i.e. the infamous PSP version Blue Screen Of Death. I have to point out this is problem of current version Devhook. Wrong emulation setting can causes Devhook crash PSP and corrupt PSP flash1 memory where all your PSP settings stored. Below is the list of some wrong emulation setting that cause Devhook crash
- Specify non-exist ISO/CSO image file when starting emulation
- Switch to lower firmare version from emulated fw2.60 and fw2.71

BTW, some user from PSP UPDATES repeatly request fw2.81 emulation support. Please note this is Launcher/VSHEX Mod not Devhook Mod. Booster hasn't released Devhook core prx source code and I am not interested in rewriting it. So please don't complaint for something I haven't done and enjoy what you can get NOW. Do you know this kind of complaint is the only reason TheBuzzer quit his GUI Mod?
