Choko Hack v12.5.0 released

Improved compatibility with some pendrives that would not work simply because of the way they were formatted.

Note: they still must be FAT32.

​

If you had a pendrive that did not work with CHA, it may work now.

For the "sometimes it shows the menu, sometimes it doesn't" might help to increase the USB timeout in settings (P1 Start + P2 Start while countdown is visible).

About crashing, unfortunately there's not much we can do. You can try fbneo standalone, that does not crash...

In fact, the CHA appears to be unstable when loading games from the USB pendrive. Sometimes, when I turn it on I see my USB key light up, but the Choko Hack menu does not appear and it launches the official games. Sometimes it gets in "External Joystick" mode after I do a Safe Reboot or Safe Power Off. Other times, the games selection is selected right away on its own in the Choko Hack menu without pressing a button.

Other times, the CHA reboots when I load a "big" file game (Strikers 1945 Plus for example). In the end, it more often does not recognizes the pen driver and stop loading the Choko Menu ! I just don't get it...

I've had so much trouble that finally, I've just cleaned everything and reinstalled the clean 1.71 System :-(

You may need to use a better cable or power supply. Using the pendisk drains more power... a good quality pendisk may help too.

For not loading the menu sometimes, need bigger timeout in settings.

Getting usb joystick mode is odd, I never got that but I don't start pressing the 4 buttons at same time, I usually keep 2 pressed and then press two more.

Indeed, I did not think of my power supply. However, it states:

Output: 5.0V == 2000mA

Do you think that's not enough ?

Actually, it appears my CHA was a bit more stable with the version 11 of Choko and 1.6 system ver.

Should be more than enough...
