    i think you have a downgraded psp.
    i think cuz some of the downgraded psp had the firmware corrupted, so it doesnt recognizes and the psp fw is messed, if not


    dude, what did you do to your psp???

    nothing, actually my gf had this problem with her own downgraded psp, she wanted to play medievil after a few days break, checked myself, everything seemed to be just ok, but the damn psp wants a fw update, than i put the umd to try on my own psp (downgraded too), and i have the same problem, was playing tekken the whole day with devhook, but now mine seem to be jammed too,im loosing my mind...

    or use XFlash.v10 ( which can flash your fw yes) and trick your psp, making it to believe
    that its a 1.0-9.99 fw or even the funny 13.37 fw but flashing might brick you psp (or not..)

    http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/607 <--- grab it here

    EDIT:
    as far as i know, this only works for 1.51/1.52 req games
    (meaning its not supported for fw 2.0+)
    EDIT2:
    and since im such a blockhead and dident really read your question carefully, it semms that you either
    screwed up your fw by downgrading from 2.5+ to 1.5 or have a 1.0 fw in your hands atm.
    which means that you cant run xploited eboots err..homebrew.. or games with fw higher than 1.0
    EDIT3:
    my bad, the spoff/flash trick that makes it into a fw 1.0-13.37
    will also make all umd games playable atleast from 2.8+

    heres an idea!!

    go bust out your old PS1 and play the medevil game for that thing... its the same game just ported over...

    hahahahaha

    no but really.... i would recomend putting in a umd that will update your psp to 2.6 then using a downgrader to get it back to 1.5... that might clear up whatever happend to your firmware... than use Devhook 0.45 to play your games and homebrew....
    psp 1.5 firmware with devhook 0.45 and fastloader, snes emu

    32mb sony mem stick - used for saves and has downgrader files

    1gb sandisk - for loading games smaller than 1 gb and it was only 30 bucks at office depot so i figured it was worth it

    2gb sandisk ultra speed - $53 ebay purchase...used to backup all my games since theres no way to make a game on a UMD bigger than 2 gigs. And its really fast so almost no load times...(still on route from ebay)
