Hi all,
I've read a few threads about it here but nobody seams to have a solution to the PSP crashing when selecting a game. I've got firmware 1.50 and got the emu to work just fine but whenever I select a ROM the psp crashes giving me a blue screen with bunch of numbers and then restarts in 10 seconds. Someone suggested running the version changer which did not help in my case. I've tried puting the ROMS folder in other places but that did not work either.
My setup:
G:\PSP\GAME\s9xTYL
G:\PSP\GAME\s9xTYL%
G:\PSP\GAME\ROMS
I've tried it with the ROMS folder inside the s9xTYL folder but it won't start that way neither. This is happening with all games. Anyone got any ideas?

I just put them in the same folder as the emulator.

Yeah I've had them in the same folder outside of the folders pretty much all over the place but nothing works.

Are they your own dumps or downloaded from the internet? I have taken to only using stuff I dumped myself because alot of what I'm finding on the internet is a bad dump with trashed headers.

I have found the same stuff craig, takes me 3-4 different locations to find a good dump. easier just to do it myself.

I downloaded them all together as one zipped file together with an emu for the PC. They work fine with the PC emu, I then extracted them, picked the ones I wanted and rezipped them all individualy with winrar and later tried winzip, neither one works  |

PC emulators are usually more lax about how perfect files need to be because the authors have had alot of time to add extra features above and beyond the level of just getting the emulated CPUs to work together. They are able to do this because PCs are really fast now and the PC SNES emulation arena is something like 10-15 years old now.
In ZSNES is see it reporting bad headers and checksums alot with stuff I have downloaded, but it will still run it. Some stuff I'm still forced to download because the carts are too rare and expensive to buy and it takes quite a while to find somewhere with legitimatly good dumps.
Even my Super Wild Card and Game Doctor (Those are backup units if anyone doesn't know) are able to run stuff with bad headers and checksums. That's why alot of roms get passed around as "good", pretty much every situation people use them in they will be fine for.
It's kind of ironic that the reason people claim to have roms for, backups, they don't even follow because they have corrupted roms, which are essentially worthless as backups.

Got it to work, my roms were not ending in .smc so it would automaticly crash. Just added a .smc to every one and they work just fine. Hope it helps others.

I have that same problem too....I don't understand how changing the name to end with smc could help. Can someone explain?

it's simple: the extension is used to guess the rom type. As roms can be created by different backup devices, there are multiples format (.bin, .sfc, .smc, .swc, .fig, ...).

when I run an ebooter program -- the ones that let you run PSP backups of games you own... -- and then leave and then start up SNES.. it will give u the blue screen and shut down the SNES emulator... I believe this is because the UMD is recognized as another type of UMD and therefore, somehow, makes the SNES crash... this is for all file extensions.. hope this helps.. or maybe its just me...
