Need some help getting GoW to run.

Hi guys,

I have a problem running God of war on my psp phat. I used the guide on this forum to upgrade my firmware from CFW 3.40 OEA to CFW 3.90M33 2, and I installed the (3.90) 1.50 kernel. I've tried at least 3 releases but it always gives me the same problem. I go to the game menu and i see the GoW logo and click on it. It boots up and then returns to the normal screen and gives me this error: This game cannot be run (80020148). I tried to modify my settings in the recovery menu but the game just wont run. Here are my settings.

Skip sony logo: Enabled
Hide corrupted icons: Enabled
Gamefolder homebrew:3.90 kernel
Autorun program at /psp/game/boot/eboot.pbp Disabled
Umd mode: Sony np9660
Fake region: Disabled (tried America here)
Free umd region: Enabled
Hard reset on homebrew: Disabled
Use Vsh: Enabled
XBM Usb: Memory stick
M33 update: Enabled
Hide PiC.png: Disabled

Cpu speed

XmB: Default
Umd/ ISO: 333

Advanced settings

Plain modules in Umd/iso: Enabled
Execute Boot.bin in Umd/iso: Enabled

I dont know if my setting are correct, but it seems some more ppl are having the same problems as me. On a small note i put the GoW.iso into the ISO folder on the psp. If i put it in PSP/GAME no games are found. I hope you guys can help me

1. Goto Recovery Menu (turn off then hold R and turn on)
2. Configuration -> Use NO-UMD (Disable it)
3. Go all the way back to main menu
4. Advanced -> Advanced Configuration -> (Disable all of them)

But you must use a umd in the drive for this to work. any game umd will do, even a demo. Only a suggestion, I grabbed from the guides section.
