Crystal Chip FW R34 v3

Crystal Chip FW R34 v3 with updated Dashboard Scripts by R3Z3N

(RUNNING CHANGES as of 2/26/2025. I update the date as I go...)

CC1.X firmware options to run BM from MemCard1,2, HDD and USB. HDD/USB boot needs HDD drivers on mc0:/BM/SHARED/ HDD and USB are commented out, go ahead and uncomment out in BM/FWS/LATEST/FWINFO.PBT to experiment
MMCE device support for example SD2PSX, PsxMemCardGen2, MemCardPro2. SD2PSXTD MCP2
~~Used El Isras USB drivers for exfat support:~~ BDM Assault REASON: Unable to get EXFAT drivers to run apps from USB. Needs further testing.
Security Settings added: when pin is set, advanced settings are unaccessible.
Updated bminit.pbat to load IRX drivers from where BM is running from, otherwise with DEV1/2 would not see/run apps from mc0/1/USB/HDD.
Updated HDDMOUNT.IRX and BM/SCRIPTS/HDDLOAD.PBT to load __common HDD partition instead of +Crystal. This is to keep things consistent with the homebrew community
Changed scripts to allow apps to be installed when booted from recovery cd.
Changed scripts to only show options for chip installed! IE no more seeing DFFS options on CC 1.XS
Changed scripts so that FW choices are only applicable to the chip installed. IE CC1.0-1.2 can choose BM run point, CC2.0 DFFS only.
BootManager app install no longer installs FW files to the dffs: partition to save 51KB for CC2.0 owners.
Show Info gives a little more clarity IE where is BM executed from, what console region codes stand for etc.
Cotton Candy theme added, each version of the Crystal Chip is represented!
Added Italian and Spanish language translations.

"BM.AUTOLOAD_FSD_EN" "0"

"BM.AUTOLOAD_FSD_EN" allows you to disable the automatic loading of USB and Memory Card drivers when loading homebrew applications. May need to use if an app does not start

SHUTDOWN ""MM"

Shuts down the Memory Module May need to use if an app does not start
