Describe the issue
So, I wanted to read japanese discs on my modded (I don't know which chip is there) PAL console, so I installed MechaPwn 3.0 Release Candidate 4 (RC4) with FMCB v1.965. Once I installed it on the second boot I chose the first out of three options and after plugging off AC I managed to boot Japanese disc. But it's possible only once, after I get it out and try some other disc, it doesn't work. And at the same time PAL backup and PAL originals don't work as well. I tried uninstalling MechaPWN by choosing restore the original patch set and after that choosing uninstall the exploit patch with the same result. One step backwards, I also chose force unlock with zero results. Continuing, I managed to get back to work PAL discs by unplugging USB stick drive Mechapwn is on. So, I have very weird way to use Japanese discs for now, is it expected working behaviour? nvm_5.04_0438052.zip
