Gaming gpSP Problem

[Saken]

I downloaded gpsp from the main sticky, and a clean ROM for fire red.
All was going well in my nuzlocke run, when i caught a rattata and after i renamed it, the game hanged. I could hear bg music, but nothing on the screen.
I reset the game, and it hanged this time when i put my own name in.
I don't want to proceed with my challenge if its gonna hang unexpectantly.
Got any idea why this is happening?

I'm on 5.5 Prometheus btw.

Seeing as there's no error message, and Fire Red appears to run ok according to a quick Google search, that's either your firmware or your MS giving you the issue. Try an alternative, genuine (!) MS first (or if you haven't got one format that one and repopulate it) otherwise downgrade to 5.00M33-6 (overall better compatibility with homebrew).

Hmm.. i'll have a look with my other mem stick.. thanks.

It seems to work fine on my other mem stick..
It works well on my 2GB Sony, but on my 16GB sandisk it doesn't. The sandisk is magic gate supported and isos work fine.
It seems pretty genuine to me.. donno..

Edit: sorry for double post, kinda tired didnt realise til it was too late.

Bigger sticks can sometime cause problems with speed and file location (part of the reason i only use 4GB's). The highest i'd personally go if i wanted to run homebrew would be an 8GB Sandisk Ultra II. Perhaps if that 16GB was an Ultra II or an Ultra HG that'd be fine, but a standard 16GB may be problematic.

Also bear in mind that every stick is different. I have 2 identical 4GB Sandisks and one is noticeably faster than the other.

Hmm.. All i wanna do is play a Nuzlocke run, seems like fun.. oh well.
I guess ill have to use the 2GB stick then.

EDIT: do you think that going to prometheus-2 will make a difference? Maybe i should use a different version of gpsp?
