“game could not be started” Errors
Dec 9th, 2007 by Big Monkey
I noticed that some people were getting errors like: (game could not be started) (8002014C)
First make sure your psp is using the 1.50 kernel.
Hold R and go into the recovery menu and check your configuration settings to see whether your PSP mode is set to 1.50 kernel. If it is not then set it to 1.50, and make sure that “No-UMD” is off and you have a game UMD in the psp .
Also make sure you put your game ISOs in the GAME150 folder on your psp.
If you still get these errors try upgrading to a new custom firmware.
In a few days we will have a guide up for how to upgrade to the newest Custom Firmware “3.71 M33-3″ so you can play all the newest games on your psp.

If you don’t see the folder GAME150 you need to create it.
I upgraded to costum firmware 3.90 M33-3 and I was trying to create a Pandora Battery but when I try to run the Pandora Installer or any applications except games, I get the error message The game could not be started, can anyone help? Also can 3.90 M33-3 be downgraded?
I found this video about going from “3.90 m33-3″ to “3.80 m33-5″, but I think you need a Pandora Battery to do it. Here’s the link to the video.
