game running creates black screen

[Ionian]

hey there, well i had started asking for help in the game forum where i found it but i thought it more appropriate to ask on here. ive downloaded this game from kiss of death
Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman: What Did I Do to Deserve This?
and put the file onto my iso folder in my psp. when i go to run the game it starts and the little music plays as with all games right after you start them, but then nothing else happens. i can still access my home menu, change sound, etc... but the game just doesnt go. i know its not corrupted because i dled it multiple times from the megaupload just to make sure i didnt somehow just have a corrupted first few, but still nothing. i tried it with my regular 3.90 m33-2 and then also with the 1.50 kernel mod, and nothing with either. any ideas how to make it run?

Try updating to 5.00m33-6

l0l with a 1000 you got next to nothing to worry bout..

goto the link i gave you.youll need to download the update folder and the official pbp.

put the update folder in psp/game

and put the .pbp in the update folder.

goto xmb and run the update


consider getting Hellcats recovery flasher then you can make a backup of everything to set your mind a lil at ease about a brik.

what is xmb?

[JackFrost]

psp main menu (cross menu bar)


just start update like a game.


Post here and lemme know alls good when done :)

i believe all was a success, WOOHOO, and that insta usb stuff is amazingly cool. thank you so much dude. hey do you have any apps you can reccomend? i have 3 so far, bookr0.713xx for reading pdf files, PSPRadio, and Ultimate PSPTube. Do you know anything better than PSPRadio and PSPTube, for my PSPRadio, i always get parse error even tho the buffer is strong and my signal is strong, and for the PSPTube, more than 1/2 the sites dont play videos for me. ALso any other interesting apps you know of or use would be welcomed.

bookr (which you already use)
Popsloader if you plan on playing ps1 games
comic book reader if you like comics
All sots of goodies here if you wanna play some older games
and thats about all I would recommend.
and i already recommended hellcats recovery which i try to push on everyone , especially newer ppl


I personally only use bookr,popsloader,hellcats recovery, and some emus

hellcats recoverY? what does it do, extract ghost data off memory stick like other programs do for your hard drive? im not quite sure on how popsloader helps, does it run a psp version that runs best for the psx games? so far the only psx games ive played are monsterseed and ff7, the monsterseed ran fine, but i hvnt tried the ff7 on the new version yet tho im about to.

1. hellcats flash recovery, its basicly reflashing your psp just case of a semi brick

2. all Popsloader does is increases the compatibility of PSX games on the PSP
