After starting a new game I get a black screen instead of the intro video: videos are not playing! (I can skip them anyway)
This is a CFW related issue: most CFW can only address 2 GB of data inside the ISO file, and many video files in the patched ISO are indeed after that 2 GB limit.
In order to fix this issue, use the CFW PRO C2 with the inferno UMD Driver; that one can handle bigger ISO’s just fine ;)
My game won’t boot! All I can see is the initial “Loading…” screen, but it never finishes loading!
Again, this is CFW related, caused by an outdated UMD driver. The same solution applies: Install PRO C2 and use the inferno UMD Driver.
The game freezes in certain areas (or while booting)… Or some menus (namely the Crimson Codex) are not showing correctly!
Type-0 is a very hardware demanding game, specially for the original PSP-1000 model. It’s even more demanding after applying the translation patch, so it’s important to play it with a clean PSP, or it won’t have enough resources to load certain files.
In most cases, this issue is due to plugins taking extra resources from the PSP. Try disabling them. If the problem persist, it may be due to CFW customizations, in this case, I’d recommend reinstalling your CFW.
Everything works but videos are choppy!
Just like the previous issue, this is due to extra overhead in the PSP (a very slow, or fragmented MS can also cause it). Try formatting your MS and installing the game again.
