I've got an amazing little psp-1001. with cfw from darkalex 5.50 the latest one I could find and I found all the games and things I've wanted and they all play, no issues on startup....

the problem lies in continuing to play.. from time to time it'll completely freeze up then turn off...

It must be something I've done cause this doesn't seem to always happen with just 1 game, it happens extremely randomly in any of the many games that i've backed up..

Please someone reply and help

 

... Dark Alex hasn't got a firmware on 5.50

 

lolwtf.if you thinking you want to get rid of the XMB menu, you cant. Its part of the firmware, what makes it run.

You could try IRShell.

 

Freezing of games can have to do with many things.

- Out of date firmware.
- Wrong settings.
- Corrupted ISO file.
- Defective memstick.

To lock out the problem you must try them 1 by 1.

The latest firmware out there is 5.50 GEN-D2 for the PSP 100x.
If you do not use the latest firmware you could face trouble.
Make sure you use the latest custom firmware.

I use the following settings:
In recovery I have in: Advanced --> Advanced configuration:
Plain modules in UMD/ISO (currently: Disabled)
Execute BOOT.BIN in UMD/ISO (currently: Disabled)

Also my driver is on M33.
And the clock speed for XMB and game are both on default.

Backup your memstick and format it using your PSP.
Try re-dumping \ downloading your ISO file. (From another source if possible)
And see if the game that you face trouble with still crashes.

If so you could try another memstick and see if that solves the problem.

 

Before you do anything crazy search google on: Update M33-6 to 5.50 GEN-D2.
That should give you a good look on how to do it and what files you need.

For the plugins they still go into the seplugin folder in 5.50 and games still in ISO folder.
Just make sure you always check or there is a new plugin for your firmware.
For example the game categories plugin from 5.00 M33 causes trouble on 5.50.
So in this case you will need to download a version that runs on 5.50.

 

ok, so this is what happened...

I Updated it, reformatted and moved my rar'd games over..

but the game still freezes up..

I've made sure that the games I backup.. are "fixed" so that there shouldn't be any issue..

but for example Undead Knights even though I know its been fixed its still freezing up randomly...

e.g. I'll leave the game running and not touch it for an extended amount of time and it'll run perfectly fine.. (1-3+hrs)

from which point i'll pick it up play for about 20 minutes and it'll continue to work till it just freezes randomly and turns off.

Then i'll restart and play from the beginning have no problem for a good half hour to an hour+ and then randomly again it'll freeze up.

Its not a time issue, nor is it an issue with saving because the saves work fine and continuing from that point allows me to get to the next time I would like to save. The games are fixed and i've tried multiple versions of the same one but yet it continues to do so..

I think it might be the configuration somewhere else because when i went to advanced it was just as you said you have it Mr. Evilmasters, also I've got 3 different Memsticks 1 4gb 1 16gb and 1 32gb comprised of 2 16gb micro sd cards that as of yet have not given me any issues anywhere else

could the problem actually be my psp? or is there some other configuration that could solve this problem?

SO! I was trying to connect to the interwebz and everytime I try (cause I alternate the switch on the left), it states that the WLAN switch on the PSPtm system is not turned on.

so does that mean my PSP is knackered?

 

thats because the WLAN switch is not turned on (like it says) pleaserefertothemanual.

Warning: Spoilers inside!

left hand switch next to where you put the memory card

 

well if it's that matter.

It's his firmware. It happened to my cousin's PSP.
Re-install M33, or go onto GEN D

 

well you could do what i did to try out 6.20

Download PSPgrader and UPTv5.0.2. Make your MS and MMS, change your battery to a pandora, and then downgrade. Once done, change your battery back into a normal one.

 

yes. but its called a magic memory stick not mega.
and only works with real not fake memory cards.
