Try getting a different copy of the game. Or download a PSX image file of it and try converting it to an EBOOT yourself. You can use PSX2PSP to do this.

@perry07

Get a diffrent copy of the game.

@Elmadhoun

Try pressing and holding the R-Trigger down while booting the PSP game. If the menu still isn't coming up then you don't have it installed properly or

Hi, when I'm trying to play Breath of fire 4. It says I need 3.40 pops, but it keep hanging/ freezing with every version.
And with Arc the lad collection, it says the data is corrupted, before it could even start.

@AlecGH

Download new copies of the games or if you have the PSX games of them rip them and convert them again.

by larrylje @ 28 Jan 2008 12:00

popsloader 3.71 M33 has 3.71 kernel. Just choose "orignal on flash" or whatever that option is.
by francis14 @ 02 Feb 2008 21:27

something's wrong with mine. I got a 3.80 m33-5 cfw on a slim psp. I did everything on the instructions. Here's the thing. I have downloaded chrono cross off a torrent site, When I played it, it just crashed but when I disabled pop, it ran perfect! What the happened?
by memoria @ 05 Feb 2008 3:51

hey there,
Q1: i hv a slim psp and the firmware is 3.71m33-3.i tried to install the pops 3.71 but it didnt work.when i go into the recovery menu>plugins..there's nothing there.its weird.i did followed all the steps in the guide..

Q2: where do i put the psx game? does it need it's own separate folder or do i just place it in the ISO folder?
by memoria @ 05 Feb 2008 4:50

ok i already found the solution to my problems. :)

but now after i enabled the popsloader, i tried to play the ff9 game, but it says the file is corrupted.any advice?
by memoria @ 05 Feb 2008 9:19

or is it because psp slim really cant play ps1 games yet?
by ecorder @ 06 Feb 2008 19:49

Which Popsloader for ff7.....also i'm on a Slim 3.90M33 CFW. I used your other guides to get this far. When I use "original on flash" it runs the game perfectly up to the New Game/Continue Screen. When I click New Game it turns black and nothing happens. I tried doing the popsloader menu and tried 3.71 and it just totally froze my psp. I did a hard boot. Should I keep trying all the popsloaders, get a new version of the game, or both? If you know which popsloader to use let me know. If nothing is available yet for 3.90 M33 PSP Slim go ahead and give me the bad news....please respond
by ecorder @ 06 Feb 2008 19:52

im using popsloader 3.52 for ff7 everyone says its working fine but my psp just shuts off whenever i choose to use that one
by mohan101 @ 03 May 2008 23:43

I just installed popsloader 3.71/2 and i enabled it in recovery mode, and im running FF8 its 3 discs i think.I want to know how to access popsloader once i turn my psp slim on. Im using custom firmware 3.71 m33-4.
If im playing FF8 and I am finished disc 1 do I have to manually load disc 2 or does it do it automatically. If its manual, how do I do it?
by mohan101 @ 04 May 2008 0:23

Update

I installed popsloader again from this site for 3.71 m33-4 on my slim. I enabled it in recovery mode. When I choose to play a multidisc game I dont get a menu that allows me to choose the pops version. Also when I press R during game boot no menu shows up. I followed this blogs instructions step by step.

What do i do?
by seheux @ 26 Sep 2008 2:43

Im trying to play breath of fire 4 but it stays as a white screen after the capcom logo. The music still plays behind, but its unresponsive to console inputs.
I heard that I would require a popsloader? My system information shows that i have 3.71 M33 cfw. Does it mean that I won't be able to use the 3.71 M33-3 popsloader? If so, what must i do? (have installed and enabled popsloader 3.71M33 but no menu pops up when i launch a pxs game.) Appreciate any help i can get!!
