Years ago I'd do a lot of PS1 emulation on my CWC-hacked PSP Street 1000. I got back into it this year, realising that any and all PSP-converted PS1 games I find online don't work on it any more - I get the error "the game could not be started FFFFFFFF". This error doesn't seem to apply to my old games, already on the system's SD Card or PSP ISOs, and my attempts to go into Recovery Mode have all failed, as holding R while turning the system on doesn't open it any longer.

Would appreciate some help as to what to do.

I haven't been on this scene in well over a decade, so I don't know what has changed since the heyday; I may not be of much help. Is the popsloader still a thing? If so, I would check there first.

do you have pops and popsloader installed? preferable with a collection of different pops versions (since some games run better with some pops versions)

Not as far as I can tell looking inside the memory stick. No files or folders with a name like that. It may well be there under a different name? idk.

@Francesca, what version of custom firmware are you running?

6.60 PRO-C2. It won't let me update any more.

and you will need the pops files but those are copyrighted material i cant link to them

and to play psx you will need atleast one version of pops installed and the popsloader will let you switch between pops versions

First, i think you should update your firmware to 6.61, that's the latest official firmware. Just to be sure you got the latest update. I don't know if you can download the system update from the system or website anymore (Since sony mention cutting psp service) or maybe try the web archive site, LINK HERE.

Second, there is the psp infinity which allows you to have persistent cfw for either PRO CFW or ME CFW. It works on both 6.60 (Which you're currently using) and the latest 6.61 (The one you can update to) Instructions about getting and using it are link here. Since it works on 6.60, you could probably skip updating to 6.61 and just run the infinity installer. But maybe that "Extra stability" can help. This should maybe make things easier and functional. Just my suggestion. :ninja:

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
