Blue Screen of Death

Where does this come from? Is this something made by Sony that is implanted into the firmware or does it come from somewhere else? Also, where does the red screen come from? Is it just for specific homebrews?

yeah it does and it happens when your psp's setting get corrupted and it is used to restore the settings but on some bricks it doesn't work

What about the screen that says, "i'm sorry to inform you, but your psp has crashed." Does that come from developers or something? that screen is just wierd.

i've gotten a BSOD twice. Its just a very big run time error, and i got it from putting eboots on wrong and once from devhook. Its a funny thing though to see on a handheld, and im surprised it almost looks the same as the windows one.

I was getting the "blue screen of death" after using a cheap FM transmitter, I only got it twice but when I was turning on my psp after having used the transmitter the screen showed the xmb then faded to black and when I turned it back on it came up with the "screen" and erased all my settings, I thought I had a brick for a second, needless to say, I don't use the transmitter anymore.

You can get the blue screen of death in devhook as well when you first start it

Oh woops, this is the screen I was referring to. I was confused a little bit I guess haha. Is the red screen that tells you that your PSP has crashed also part of some homebrew?
