So I finally got around to getting this emulator but whenever i try to run it all i get is a black screen and my psp resets. I have tried the latest version (modded and signed as well) and also some older versions but I always get the same results. My psp is a 2001 slim running 6.39 pro b8. Any help would be much appreciated thanks.

Are you using any plugins? If so try disabling all of them.

thanks! that seemed to do the trick. is there a list of non compatible plugins? thanks for the help

There isn't any sort of list, but a common problem. You'll just have to experiment.
