Okay, so here is the problem: I have had this big guy for at least six or so years, I stopped using it back in 2009 but got back into it before the end of the year; the thing is that it can no longer read UMD, I do realize at this point that I need to fix that, however, I found a better option at playing games by downloading them. I did not have any trouble with the downloaded games I got, however, just a little after Christmas(of 2010) I started noticing problems with them(I had bought a 4GB prior, at least two or one month an a half before).
Games like Spyro the Dragon (PSone download), and Dissidia would get into the habit of 'freezing' forcing me to shut down the PSP and turn it on again. Days later, it would happen again, and it got more common, but the games could run fine. This however, got out of hand when I purchased Echoes; the game took almost thirty minutes in the loading screen, if I remember, and I was only able to play it once. This problem stuck its ugly head on the Pacman game I downloaded (never seemed to run) I have been noticing that some games freeze up in certain parts, and play up to a certain point before they just freeze up; now, I cannot play games above the 100 mb mark, except the two games mentioned, which are less than 30 mb...the demos sometimes work or not. I do realize this might be a technical problem, but I'm not too sure, it plays music and videos just fine, and it has no problem with pictures and that new comic feature; I know how to use Media Go, and my PSP does recognize the games, and I have noticed that when selecting a game, usually you hear the game's theme or something of the sort, but in the games that dont work, excluding the PSone downloads, the music wont work. (A talltell sign that the game will get stuck on the loading screen or not load at all).
Any assistance you might provide will be helpful.
