Yes, I did do my research before crawling to the forums asking this question, so I would appreciate it if you didn't dismiss my question with a "Go to Google" or something.
I've been trying to get a game on my psp but every time a new problem confronts me. The first time I put God of War: Chains of Olympus on my memory stick, placed in the ISO folder, however upon initiating the game it said it was unable to start.
So after giving up on God of War I tried to put Tales of Eternia on there. I put it, again, in the ISO folder (which for some reason has a VIDEO folder in it) but once i clicked on Memory Stick under the Games section, it froze and restarted.
My question is whether I am doing something wrong, something is wrong in my PSP, or i'm downloading the wrong ISO's. My friend put Monster Hunter Freedom 2 on there awhile back before I got the cable and tried to do it myself, so I think its the wrong ISO's but I want to be sure.
If it is in fact the wrong ISO's I'd love a referral to a reliable site.
The first part - the video folder in the ISO folder is correct, but do not put the iso's in there, just in the iso folder.
To get more help you need to know what software you are running (look for it in the menu)
What are your settings (try pressing the select button when in the main psp screen - although this may not work) Otherwise turn the PSP completely off (5-10 seconds on the power button) turn the psp on holding down the right hand trigger
I don't think this is a firmware related error, Tales of Eternia is so old that it predates every custom firmware. I think it's either your USB cable (or computer port) that is damaged or your memory stick is fake or damaged.
Select your memory stick in the games section but instead of pressing X for selecting it press the triangle and when it says information press X. In the next window, when it says Magic Gate: Unknown the stick is fake, if it says Magic Gate: Supported the stick is genuine.
Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.
If it shows up in the menu, but does not start after it tries to boot it. First thing, check your VSH menu and make sure the umd/iso mode is set to M33 driver. If that doesn't work, use the recovery menu as stated by Kittymat and turn off all of the plugins and set the game pops and xmb plugins off (only with newer CFW). If that doesnt work than maybe the isos are not properly ripped and the Eboot decrypted (should not be a problem with Tales of Eternia). Good luck with everything.

I've got a PSP2003 SLim model and have upgraded to OFW 5.03 and then installed ChickHEN and added CFW GEN-C(Full).
I have 2 games in my ISO folder - ToyStory3 and Everybodies Tennis. Both look OK but when I start either of them, I get the 80020148 error on both. I have the UMD Driver set to M33 and have also tried Sony driver too. Am I missing something here - UMD set to not start and UMD Cache set to No
