Hi guys,

I have updated my PSP firmware to 3.52 M33 and im having issues playing some games (.cso file, Ghost recon to be exact) and everytime i try and run it, it just goes to a blank screen and doesnt go any further than that.

i have been told by others if i boot up in recovery mode and enable the 'no umd' option, this should solve the problem but i dont know for the life of me how to boot up in recovery mode.

Im sure its something easy and it might be a silly question, but i am stuck and i need help.

even the 007 game i was able to use on 3.40 firmware does the same thing too now.

Can anyone help me out please?

two things possible (or maybe more)... one it is either a bad iso and you need to download it again. the no umd option has nothing to do with a black screen, it will just give u a error sign and take u back to the XMB. the next thing u can do is to go to recovery menu > advanced > advanced configuration. now enable plain modules in umd/iso and then try running it again... if that doesnt work A(for example launching ratchet and clank doesnt work for me via xmb. i got it to by ttoggling with my options but anyways... you can try running it with IR SHELL.

turn off your psp (take out the battery or you can hold the power switch up for 3 seconds) and then turn it on again while holding the R-Trigga. a menu with Red Black and White will come up.
