Ok so when i play one of the games from my memory stick and i press the home button it just shows up as a blank grey screen, then about 15 secs later the psp shuts off.
I think the problem might be because yesterday i put popsload 5.00 on my psp so i could play the PSX game Soul Blade. When i am playing Soul Blade and i press the Home button, it works but its a special home screen made for the PSX game if ya know what i mean, with quit, and see manual thing, and controller settings.
So my attempt to fix this problem was to disable popsloader in the recovery menu. That failed. Next i deleted the popsloader folder and anything else that said popsloader out of the seplugins folder. That didnt work either (also i tried playing Sould Blade after that and it still worked??, so either the game doesnt need popsloader or somehow popsloader is still on my psp.) Then i deleted the sould blade game too but that didnt help either. So after that i messed around in the recovery menu to try and find something that might fix it; I disabled some other thing named pops and then my games on my MS would work. Then i did some flash format thing i saw. that just erased my settings pretty much, and did not work. So to try and finally solve the problem i use the HellCat Recovery flasher to Flash 5.00 M33 again. Then i used the wifi update to upgrade it from 5.00 m33-3 to 5.00 m33-6 again (which didnt connect to the server so i downloaded the 5.00 update from a site).
So thinking my problem would be solved after that, it still shows that grey home screen with nothing there.
Could any one help me with this please?
I think its related to popsloader some how.
I'm going to use the HellCAT to downgrade to 4.01 this time and then upgrade thru the wifi, or download the 5.00 update from a site.
Ask for any more info you need.
Update: Ok so i used HellCat to downgrade it to the 4.01 and that fixed the Home Screen!!! Yay. So now i am going to try and do a 5.00 update via wifi and hope it still works. I think the 4.01 completely wiped it the firmware and put a clean install unlike the 5.00 flash so any files that i may off took of wrong that messed it up are gone is my thinking.
Well, so can anyone tell me still though why i ran into this problem in the first place, so that it doesnt not occur again, like if i try to do popsloader again to play playstation one games.
Update 2: Okay so i went and upgraded the working 4.01 to 5.00 and that killed it again. The home screen stops working again on 5.00
So i downgraded that back to 4.01 so i can play my games until a solution is found. My games run a a little sluggish tho.
Ok so now i'm going to backup my games and music and then format my MS to see if its any junky plugins screwing it up. Then i will upgrade to 5.00 again and test it.
*Sry if i'm posting a lot, i'm just tryin to keep helpers updated and provide as much info as i can, and show that i am tryin myself to fix it.
Ok good news. After reformatting my MS and downgrading to 4.01 and then upgrading to 5.00 it works now. Then upgrade to m33-6 and it still works, so all is good now, must have been something bad on my MS. Gonna restore my games and music and savedata.
