Hi

I went through all the steps and successfuly got 5.00M33-6

I have a Fat PSP so Iinstalled the 1.50 kernel addon for 5.00 as well, and copied 150.PBP to the memory stick.

Now when I try to run Diner Dash game, I got the following message "the game could not be started (80020321)"

Although the game was running OK before the update !!

I tried a newer game : Harry Potter & Half Blood Prince ==> same error messag !!

It seems that I can't run any game now !!!
