Copy the save again and retry, sometimes it freezes randomly.

All those games should be fixed in 3.18, at least megamix and gravity.

Hi everyone,
i am on fw 3.01 with go!sudoku [PSP]. To make this work i have copied the vhbl save folder, then overwrite with tnv loader files and then overwrite with ark files. With other way, like make a new save from the game and then replace with ark files dont work. Now my question: will this run on fw 3.18? i know that vhbl work on 3.18 with go sudoku but im not sure if this game is minis or full psp game (with all function)
Also some little suggestion to developers:
- i dont see an option to set a custom background from user photo, will you include it on next versione of ark? also the possibility to deactivate dymanic background (menu animation) would be great
- there is the option to choose the menu language, but there is only english. How can we help with translation?
- when i press triangle it appear a little menu and to exit i need to use circle button. Is possible use triangle button to open/close the menu instead of triangle/circle?
- there is not a watch near battery indicator, it would be nice if you include it in next version
- when i start ark it show a black screen, then the background menu. It takes about 60 seconds to show icon and the menù and make it usable. it is possible to make it faster and to add a coldboot instead of black screen and background menu without icons during boot?
- the scrolling is very slow, can you make it faster?
sorry for all these request and for my engrish

When I make it open source, you'll be able to modify any image to you likings

you can try to make it faster by disabling "Scan savedata entries" in the options menu (select button, just like VSH menu)
As for everything else, this menu was not supposed to be made public yet but I made it public due to the recent events, there's a lot of things missing and things that need fixing, but too bad cause I don't have any time to work on it anymore.

It is not intended that I have to replace the savedata files every time I manage to crash ARK-2, is it?
If I manage to crash ARK-2, I have to re-new the savedata files, otherwise it wont boot anymore.

I've been having random crashes with ARK when it's starting as far back as 1.80, normally restarting the exploit helps, but sometimes I have to recopy the save (does it not copy correctly? I don't know). I'm talking about crashes long before it gets to load the menu, while on the "Loading" screen, sometimes the text shows messed up.
