When encountering problems like this the list of things to try is always the same...

Format the memstick (after backing your savegames up) to clear any corruption of it.

Re-dump the game (dax dumper is a popular choice so i doubt it's that) and do not rip anything.

Format flash1 using the flash1 formatter (can be done in recovery menu of 3.52 m33-2).

Also, wehn transferring games to the psp make sure you disconnect properly using the icon next to the clock in the bottom right of your screen. Don't just switch out of usb mode as it may not have finished even if the light has stopped flashing.

reinstall 3.51 or go up to 3.52m33 (did you customize anything?)

[xllzerollx]

[m3tolli]

[m3tolli]

nope memstick loads, ps1 and homebrew fine.
and its loaded isos before so it cant be that.
anyoe else have any suggestions? i would like to be able to play monster hunter againn lol.
btw, iv recovered the psp 4 times, in an attempt to make it work but it refuses to load, and im back on 3.03oe-c just because it was the first thing they worked on, but again they fail to work!
help please!

Delete the config.se from flash1 and reboot the psp.

BTW you really should reduce the size of your signature that is a bit obnoxious :p

[m3tolli]

ok few things i want to know:
1- what will that do?
2- will it make me brick?
3- will it make isos work?
4- wouldnt it be easier to upgrade to 3.52m33 and reflash flash1?
many thanks!

[buffalotrace]

Deleting the config.se will not cause you to brick and often times it can get rid of weird problems that can occur when changing firmwares. When I upgraded to 3.52-2 my iso files wouldn't show either. Deleted that file and everything worked fine. Many people will suggest formatting flash1 all together when changing firmwares....I have never done that but whatever works ;) . Good Luck


BTW Thanks for changing you sig.....MUCH BETTER :D

[m3tolli]

When I upgraded to 3.52-2 my iso files wouldn't show either.
i never said that my isos didnt show up, they simply wouldn't run, and with deleting this file in flash1 bearing in mind i am in 3.03oe-c will it still work?

btw. im not a n00b before anyone says it, its just an error that has never occured to me before.

[m3tolli]

i couldnt be bothered to wait and went and did it anyway, and it worked!
thank you so much buffalotrace u can have a metphorical gold star for this deed!:D
very much appreciated to everyone else who participated aswell! :)

[buffalotrace]

Glad to be of service :D . Just remember that little trick the next time you upgrade of downgrade you cfw...it usually gets rid of most "bugs" that people complain about when that damn config.se is usually the problem.

Umm....This question is kinda unrelated to the thread, but since as how the problem has been resolved I am gonna ask a daft question.......I have flashed my PSP with M33 5.32 and CWCheats don't work for me (Has never worked with any firmware as I have upgraded 4 times to different ones)...Any ways, would deleting the .Config file resolve any thing or destroy my PSP as it works perfect with all other Homebrew/Games at the moment.......??? Many thanks in advance
