How to Fix a PSX Eboot Game From Freezing Up on a PSP

The Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) is a hand-held video game system released in 2005 as the Nintendo DS main competitor. The PSP runs Sony firmware as the device's operating system. Games that give you an error and refuse to start up need an updated firmware.The problem is that the executable file (EBOOT.BIN) has an encrypted key that can only be read by newer firmware. Updating the PSP firmware is free.
