did you use UMDGEN? If you did that could be why. Theres more and more games it's not working with. VCDROMX 3.6 however hasn't failed me once.

I followed this tutorial

1.Open up vcdromx 3.6a english
2. A prompt will come up, enter the name of the iso you would liek to save the rebuilt iso as
3.Drag the folder PSP_GAME and the file UMD_DATA.BIN into the window
4. Click File>Build VCDROM
5. When building is done, click File>Convert File
6. Select type as .FCD and open up the fcd you made earlier
7. In second drop down box select ISO and check off "Overwrite and Rename Source"
8. Click convert and wait for the iso to finish converting.

did you try playing this game previously before doing all this? Always the possibility of a bad-rip.

Well you can ask around to see what people have gotten it to by converting it to .cso or you can try it urself. The program doesn't overwrite the first one so you will still have the original iso and the new cso. I use the newest psp compressor BTW too. I got mine at http://www.psp-hacks.com

Are there any additional [further compression] techniques out there that have advanced upon this idea (thus far)?
Thanks!
