Okay, so I imagine you've all heard this one before a million times.
"The game could not be started. (80000004)" error message is really getting old now. Don't say google it, because I have and I've tried a million different apparent solutions to it, even a few here and I can't find anything - I wouldn't ask if I hadn't looked all over first.
First of all I was running 1.5 and everything was fine. I did a bit of random searching and discovered that 3.40 (and previous versions) could play PSX games and thought I would try that out. So I upgraded to 3.40-OE A. Then I ripped an "ISO" (not BIN at the time) from my FF7 disc and used autopopstation 4 to convert it. It worked and it worked great. I played it a few times and all worked good. I turned it off and played more...Still everything good. Then one random event and I turn it on - It stops loading (I could tell by the little orange light on the left of the PSP) and then said the "The game could not be started. (80000004)" error.
I tried recopying it over from my computer. Didn't change anything. Then tried Game150 and Game340 folders. Nope. Instead came up with the 80010002 or whatever error (which I think means it was in the wrong directory or was searching for something in the wrong directory). I tried deleting the save files, formatting my Memory Stick, re-ripping the ISO, everything. I even downgraded to 1.5 and up to 3.30 to see if that would work. I even ripped it in BIN format, then converting it with PSX2PSP 1.2, and re-upgrading (via recovery) to 3.40 OE and it still didn't work. All ideas are welcome, or please refer me to appropriate topic, but I have looked and none have seemed to work. The oddest part is it DID work at first.
PS: I'm new here, so if this is in the wrong spot I'm sorry, please move it.
