Please help with my gpSP problem!

[Orunitia9]

Hi, I'm running UO gpSP 3.4 test 3 build 92. My PSP is a GO model with PRO B10 LCFW. Until recently the emulator was running my Pokemon Emerald rom fine, but now when I am playing, the menu may come up on its own, and when I close the menu, the whole system turns off. Trying the emulator again, the recorded save file available was not my latest one. I have since tried overwriting the save game successfully, but when the shutdown problem repeats, the save file is always the original outdated version, so even if I try to advance the game, I will be back to square one when the problem comes back.

I'm really not sure what's wrong. I was messing around with action replay codes so that might have something to do with it, but I have removed the codes from my memory and the problem persists.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Update- I transferred another copy of the same emulator onto my PSP and copied my roms, save files and ctg files from the last emulator. But the problem hasn't gone away, and after awhile the same thing happened- the menu screen came up and the PSP shut down. When I retry the emulator the only available save file was more recent than the first one I reported, but is by no means my most up to date save.

Worryingly, this seemed to happen on a regular game I bought from PSN (Dissidia 012)- the screen went blank and the system shut down!

Does this mean it could be something to do with my LCFW?

It can be a bad CFW instalation, cuz I also have a Go with 6.20 Pro B10fix1 & I have yet to see this problem on mine

EDIT: Could be a plugin conflict, Try disabling ALL of your game plugins

For the gpSP problem, try deleting all of the cfg files & go to the misc menu in the gpSP & toggle the update save option to automatically.

Thats the problem with the save file never updating, it might be set to exit only

Hope this helps

OK I'll try that. Will deleting my cfg files negatively impact my GBA save games?

[Akira]

No. Your save files will not be affected in any way.

But your savestates might stop working.

It's been a while, and my most recent course of action had been to attempt to clear my PSP Go of all custom firmware related files, i.e. the firmware, plugins for WOTL and the GBA emulator. But this hasn't stopped the problem. The screen has gone black before shutting down the system, once when scrolling through the XMB and once when playing Dissidia 012.

Now I'm paranoid that I've caused some permanent damage to my system (I should never have been tempted by those fancy digital pirates!!). These are how the folders currently appear on my PSP via PC, in case anyone can spot any custom firmware-related folders I haven't deleted:
BOOK
MEDIAGO
MLN_ROOT
MP_ROOT
MUSIC
OTHER
PICTURE
PSP
VIDEO

Inside the PSP folder:
APP
COMMON
GAME
LICENSE
MUSIC

PLAYLIST
RADIOPLAYER
RSSCH
SAVEDATA

SHOUTcast
SYSTEM
THEME

I could really use some advice, as this problem can be very irritating.

You said... You tried Dissidia.... Wheres the ISO Folder?

You said... You tried Dissidia.... Wheres the ISO Folder?

I deleted during my anti-custom firmware rampage. Do you mean it's needed to play regular games? I didn't come across any problems while playing Dissidia (aside from the obvious).

Anti custom firmware rampage? If you mean you dont have CFW then.... You should turn 6.20 pro c then put the game in a folder named iso....

That FW do you Currently Have?
