Help with running emulator/ anything besides demos

Every time i try to run an emulator or any program that go's in the PSP/GAME/ director when i go to the game/memory stick menu on my PSP and select the program it says could not start the game, corrupted data, but any demos made by Sony work fine, am i doing something wrong? What should i do? My firmware version is 3.11

Someone on a different forum (ProjectPSP.com) said that when i upgraded to 3.11 firmware i pritty much screwed myself over cause there is no way to downgrade and you can't use anything homebrew.

yep your totally screwed. but eventually a down grader will be released for you. might be awhile. keep up hope!!

Actually you're not screwed, you'll just have to play the waiting game as of now. Eventually after time passes your firmware version can be downgraded, so don't be discouraged.

now when you say a while...... how long are we talking about here.. cause i might go insane..... lol

I liked the questions back then when I could just say put this in the GAME folder

Yeah jus keep checkin www.pspbrew.com

I read that firmware 3.11 is decrypted and ready for custom firmware and a downgrader; however, it won't be released because then Sony could patch the current decryption key. This is actually a good thing for the psp hacking scene, as a whole, because with the 3.03 downgrader, most people can now downgrade. It's sad that you can't, but it isn't the end of the world. My guess is that there will never be a 3.11 downgrader because it sounds like the top dogs are waiting for a firmware WORTH upgrading the custom firmware to - which will bring a downgrader also.

If I had to put a time limit on your wait, the only answer I can give is : "when Sony creates a firmware worth upgrading the custom firmware to - you will see a downgrader". When that will happen nobody knows... perhaps not even Sony. Most updates are b/c there have been exploits lol - not because Sony has released anything worthwhile. Just sit tight. It'll happen.

ah i see, well thank you all for your help, i look forward to some day being part of the homebrewing world, i just hope Sony gets off their donkey so i can downgrade sometime soon.
