When i try using the games and emu's with roms it always says "the game could not be started (80020001) Am i putting the roms in the wrong place when i put it through "k:/psp/game/sgen/roms"?

sounds like you arnt booting up the emulator. if you have a 1.5 psp you can use the swap method to run stuff. anything above that, welp, nothing you can do for now.

its under the first tab all the way to the left. Look through I believe system infomation/settings its in there.

Yep System Settings/System Information

But if you are getting the emulators to run my guess would be that either your roms are in the wrong place or need to be zipped/not zipped. Or maybe it could also be a caps/lower case problem? Or the EMU is looking for a specific name for the file.

Sorry, I'm not familliar with sgen...yet ;)

Well I finally checked this one out (PSP Genesis) and it's pretty damn sweet I must say. Anyone on a 1.5 PSP needs to learn how to use the swap trick before they can get any emulators running. As slayer2psp stated your roms need to be unzipped...in this case (Genesis) that means you will have .SMD files. Also make sure the 'system.fnt' file is in the emulator folder...I left it out at first and couldn't see any words :o
