The speed can be changed to the PSP standard of 222 in the Menu screen * In case of a system freeze, please wait 10 ~ 20 seconds then: Turn off the power and turn on the system once more. If needed, try holding down the power switch for a longer period of time. * Don't turn off the PSP if the Memory Card Access Lamp is flashing. * There are no checks for free space on the Memory Card, so make sure you have space before playing. (*If there is no space on the Memory Card, the program will crash!) * This program is not endorsed or licensed by Sony.
