What to do when psps freezes?

[in2ition]

Hi all,

Yesterday I faced my second freeze while playing with emulator. The only way I got it to go back to normal was by removing battery from psp. Is this the only way or is there something else I can do?

Is there something I can do to prevent this freezes? Are they normal? Can they brick my psp?

Thanks in advance.

I forgot to say that I'm using 0.3me with 1.5 firmware. Also, the freeze happened when my temperature was about 30C. But when I turned my psps on it started at 25C.

if you just hold the power switch for 10 seconds it will turn off,

it cant brick your psp but it can corrupt data on your memory stick.

Hmmm, thanks for the tip!

I was so scared about bricking my psp that I only tried to hold it for the commons 2 seconds in order to turn it off. As it doesn`t turn off I could only think about removing the battery.

I hope I don't need to use this tip anymore, but if I have, I will give it a try.

Thanks for your info cheeezy!

I've had it freeze like that and I held the power button for about 30 seconds and it didn't do any good. Also, anyone ever get the red screen of death? It basically just tells you the game crashed and literally says "s*** happens" on the screen.

I've never seen this red screen... i remember it on psx

However, i experienced so maaany crashes... i just held the power button for about 10 seconds to turn the psp off, then i turned it on again and all worked fine
I've never removed the battery
