I've been away from the scene for a while and have come back to read about how far Dark Alex's CFW has come. I'm still on original fw 1.5 using DevHook to emulate fw 3.11 (I never liked the idea of flashing F0 cause Im a purist) , but I have done my reading and Im going to upgrade to CFW 3.80 M33-2.

Im just wondering what the 1.50 kernel plugin does that I've read about? I know its as yet unreleased for 3.80 M33-2, but when this is released, what benefit does it give?

I've also read "…popsloader plugin from 3.71 will not work in 3.80 M33 due to its system dependency. A new one will be rewritten for 3.80 M33" - What is popsloader and what does it do? Is this for loading PS1 games?
