PSP Game Unable To Load

Yesterday I face a situation whereby my PSP was unable to load the game. The game named Patapon. What I was doing is only copy Patapon ISO file into my memory stick and next the game was appear in the game list. So, I enter the game and the game start loading. At first, the game was able to run but unfortunately it hanging halfway in "NOW LOADING" screen.

If you ever face the situation explain above, please feel free to try the solution provided below. Tested and it works!

Currently, my PSP installed with a firmware version 3.80-5 M33. If you are using this version too, then by default your ISO loader will be "M33 - No UMD". To solve the problem above, what you have to do is change the default ISO loader to "Sony NP9660 - NO UMD". How?

1. First, Go to your PSP Recovery Mode (hold R trigger and turn on your PSP)
2. Recover Mode should now load, go to Configuration
3. Then you will see an option "Use M33 - No UMD"
4. Change it to "Use Sony NP9660 - No UMD"
5. Done.

While you still in Recovery Mode, why don't try to change a bit on other settings?

For me, I have change 3 settings here that should be useful.

Go to Recovery Mode -> Registry Hacks, you will see 3 options here:

Button Assign, by default your X button is enter and O button is exit. For me who love Japan regions so much, so I prefer O button as enter and X button as exit. Well, change it whatever you like but only for X and O button.

Activate WMA, by default this function is disabled. Enabled it to make your PSP Internet Browser capable to load a webpage which contains WMA playback format.

Activate Flash Player, by default this function is disabled. Enabled it to make your PSP Internet Browser capable to load a webpage which contains Flash format.

Warning, don't play around with your Recovery Mode settings if you are unsure of what's the options is all about. Else you will screw up your PSP! Always get advise from Expert before make any further steps, don't ask me because i'm not an expert.

Play wise and enjoy!
