I have seen on a lot of threads on a lot of forums that people have been getting the error message "game could not be started (80010002). I have tried so many things that people say will fix this, but none seem to help me. I am running 3.80 M33 and am trying to upgrade to 3.90 M33. I have made sure the kernal is set to 3.80, and tried it on 1.50. I have also made sure the NO-UMD setting is on, but that didn't help either. If there is something stupid that I have missed then I'm sorry, but I need help with this.

If your running 3.80 M33 and have the kernel set to 3.80 then it should start perfectly fine.

Are you sure you have 3.80 M33?

Double check under system settings/system information.

Even tho this probably will not make a diffrence you can always go HERE and folow these steps to try to get it working properly. Maybe you have some setting enabled that shouldn't be.

Follow the instructions exactly as they are written. The 1.50 add on doesn't go onto your PSP until you have updated the firmware. So if you are still at 3.52 you can't run it yet. Remember, you have to select the firmware you want from the menu (the one with the black background you mention), and then boot into your PSP and select the update file (e.g. "Update 3.71 M33" in games/memstick) before you will actually be running that firmware. Then you can do the add-on. Also, make sure you need to even use the add-on. When it says "FAT PSP" it just means the older models (the thicker ones), not one of the new slim ones. I'm not sure you would see a different icon if you were running the slim PSP. I think it's just assumed that you will know if you are running a slim PSP or not. I hope this helps.

Edit: Looks like I jumped in too soon. Sorry larrylje; you're a quicker draw than I thought. :)

5. click exit, go to the game folder, scroll down, and i update it.
6. i go to MUX again, do update (6) : 3.90 m33-2
7. i'm now getting an error: i say's unpacking... done.
390.PBP doesn't exist.
Do you want to download it from internet? (x=yes, R=no)
so i click x (yes) is say's please wait...

maby, i know what's wrong..
so if i am, or if i aint plz tell me.
When i click [x] update 1 : 3:71 M33
and after updating, i click close,
and than i update it, and in the beginning there come's an black screen that say's: this program requires 3.52 M33-3 or higher.
and after that my psp restarts, i dont know if thats normal, but i got psp firmware 3.52 M33 (but i dont know if 3.52 M33-3 is diffrent from my version)
and if this isn't the problem, i dont understand why my psp is stil 3.52 istead of something higher, this is driving me so crazy.. like omg.. :O !!
anyway, if some1 know's an other way to upgrade it, plz tell me because i realy need some help here.

Lets see if I can explain it better.

3.52 M33 and below custom firmware had 1.50 kernel built into it. 3.71 M33 and above does not have the 1.50 kernel built into it so there is an ADD ON that needs to be ran to get 1.50 kernel support for PSP FAT users only.
