PSX games freeze on my psp...help plz!

Hi,

Like the title says, when im running PSX games on my OE-B psp it likes to freeze at certain places and then restart my psp. For example, on final fantasy 8 i am 2 hours into it, saved just before a boss fight. In the middle of this boss fight it suddenly freezes and restarts my psp so i cant get past it.

This is the same for lots of my other psx games, they just freeze at certain points. I have also seen some graphical glitches in them, like the occasional flashing texture and stuff..maybe this is something to do with it?

Anyone know how i could fix it? By maybe reinstalling my firmware or something? (if its even possible), or is my psp just buggered up

Please help I would love to play my psx games on my psp!

Thanks, and happy new year :)

(btw, its definatly not the game files that are the problem, because loads of other people have exactly the same thing, and it works on their psp.

maybe it is the isos, if you have a bad dump (possible some files in the iso are corrupt or missing) then that could be the problem.

to reinstall OE, make the dxar file (if you didnt keep the first) then copy the oeflasher with dxar file and OEBupdate into th game150 folder and run from xmb

You will also get more playable games if they are in NTSC format as PAL standard is very unstable so if they are in PAL use a PAL to NTSC converter and try running them again.

ok, i have tried lots of other psx games just now and they all have the same problem (they are all NTSC btw). I have also tried reinstalling the firmware.

Do you have any way of altering the cpu speed in the psp it may running at wrong speed for games

i thought about that, but i cant seem to do it. when i boot up my psp with the r button pressed and go on 'CPU speed' is says 'not yet' and i cant adjust it. dunno what that means.

AlexRowbottom, use CWCheat for POPs rev E to overclock POPS, there is a thread open in the PSP emulation forum, made by g00gy i think.

EDIT: o yeah, i have the same trouble with Spyro 2 and 3, i have tried it with PAL and NTSC, i have tried o/c the psp, and they always freeze wenevr it saves after entering a new world

tryed overclocking it using that thingy, but still doesnt work =(

anyone have any ideas?

Im having the same prob with FF 8
It just seems tobe crashing at certain actions, like zell's "Burning Rave" or Selphie's "Full Cure" limit break.
I very much hope a patch or something can fix this, coz it's really no fun this way.
