hi recently i went over to some chinese site and downloaded some games. however, all the games in english are working but games in japanses and chinese are not working. i tried 2 games but still it doesn't work.

here is what happened.
when i go to memory stick on my psp. it shows the icon and the short trailer of the chinese game i downloaded. but once i clicked on it and try to start the game. my screen just turn black and the whole psp just froze. all the buttons do not work and can't turn the power off. so i was forced to take the battery out.
here is the game guys can you guys please try it and out and see if it works?

the game is FATE STAY NIGHT TIGER FIGHT



here is the torrent to download it.
sry i didn't know no torret is allowed

my psp is in customized firmware 3.90m33-3 and i have the thick psp not slim

thanks guys in advance!

This is by far a guess, but if you cleared space your flash 0 and deleted the other language packs that could be why.

i learned this the hard way.... your gonna have this thread locked for showing a torrent link... no piracy on the forums

so all i need to do is redownload the language pack?
can't seem to able to find the language pack anywhere on google>_<

well did you do anything with your flash 0 like custom xmb's?

hi thanks for the quick reply ! i bought it off ebay so someone customized the firmware for me.

as far as i know he put a lot of stuff on it like psp youtube and tons of custom themes.....

please !!! what should i do to fix it?

Start it in recovery mode and goto flash 0 and get that to pop up on your computer then look if there is a folder called dic in there, or press select and change your usb from mem stick to flash 0 then goto usb connection, and btw when your flash 0 is up dont move anything in or out of there or you going to brick.



*Edit* If your dic folder is missing I can send you the back up of mine. Technecally you dont need it all it contains is extra language packs but most people clear it off to save space for custom themes.


*Edit* I dont even know If this would be the problem eather, ive never tried to play anything but EUR and US games.

thanks for the help but i am very sorry i am a noob .....
by recovery mode do you mean reformat memory stick? or restore default settings? please advice where is the recovery mode....

Recovery mode is when you turn your psp off all the way and then start it up while holding down the R trigger untill you get a screen called recovery.

then you goto advanced you will see flash 0 connect a usb cord to your psp and comp then hit toggle usb connection, basscially click x when flash 0 is higlighed. Also do not move anything in flash0 dont ever delete or add if you dont know what your doing or you will brick

so thats all i need to do to fix the problem?

is it going to delete everything on my memory stick?

No it wont delete anything, and idk if it will fix the problem this is just a guess, just go on google and type in flash0 backup or something then look on a tutorial somehwere about flash0 so you dont brick when you do it.

oh okay i will give it a try thanks!

okay so bascially it just opens a window on my computer and i just copy copied all the files to my computer then what else? i can't raelly find a tutorial... all people are telling are just bascially CONTROL COPY stuff in flash0 to computer and thats it...

just make sure when you put in the new files you dont delete the old ones just copy them in there and let it replace the old ones.

i can't find it ! no one uploaded their FLASH0 and a lot of people are saying it doesn't work!

please advice

In the recovery menu set your psp to "Free UMD region".

Configuration->
Free UMD Region (currently: Enabled)
