Yep, unfortunately another one with this problem on a PSP slim&Lite.

Let me explain I'm on version 3.90 M33-3. Now all games (cso) I try come up with this error. I have not purchased a UMD yet. Every time I hold the R button and power on I dont' get any special "configuration" option menu.

Any suggestions on what to try next or download ?
I have put some mp4 movies I have converted on the 4gb memory stick and all work fine. When I check the memory stick using the triangle "information" button whils on the games memory, I get:
User capacity: 3839mb
free space 976mb
MagicGate Unknown.......(could this be the problem - i.e not authentic memory ?)

Sounds like a fake card to me.

But this wouldn't effect you going into recovery menu. Are you positive you have 3.90 M33-3? You checked under system settings and that is what it says?

larrylje, yep under the system ssettings/ System info states
system software 3.90 M33-3

07anto07, press the select (X) buttton and scroll down to umd mode ?
Whe I switch on the psp (even if I hold the R button down) I just get the normal menus appear i.e
network update
usb connection
video settings
photo settings ,etc

I can't see umd mode anywhere , is the option within one of the menu's ?. The only options I could see with umd are under the system settings menu, they are UMD auto start, umd cache.

Boot the PSP to main XMB menu then press select if the VSH menu is enabled the VSH menu should come up with a list of options...

CPU Clock XMB
CPU Clock Game
USB Device
UMD ISO Mode
ISO Video Mount
Reset Device
Exit

Press down on the D-Pad to UMD ISO Mode. Now press the right D-Pad to change the mode to Sony NP966. Now press down on the D-Pad to Exit the VSH menu.

If the VSH menu does not come up or you can not go into recovery menu (Press R-Trigger while booting PSP) then I would suggest trying to reinstall the custom firmware via Pandora battery and Magic Memory Stick.

When going into recovery mode (holding R during boot up) make sure you are turning the PSP completely off and not into sleep mode. Hold the power button up for a few seconds till the PSP turns completely off. Holding the R down when the PSP is in sleep mode will not bring the PSP into recovery mode.

Ohhhhhh. It does get confusing sometimes they say hit select to mean the X and obviously sometimes they realy mean the select button. Forgot it even existed , I've hardly used it.

Anyway, done it and the game works - job done, pat that man on the back. thanks.

i too got error 80020321.
do as he says above .
press select and go to umd iso mode
when you select umd iso mode it should open more to a driver selection.
try pressing the right arrow on the joypad to open it up.
select m33 driver from the drop down and then start your game.
it will work straight away.

What a brilliant shortcut that is. you guys amaze me. my youngests started playing up and saying this occasionally and when I flashed the CF on it I remember setting the driver and doing all this.

That shortcut is a belter. Deserves to be a sticky on a thread all of it's own.

Cheers

Grateful to all p0sitive h4ckers everywhere.
