omg, im so confused

i need help badly. I downloaded the hombrew game "Triple Triad PSP V.0.1.1" and followed every instructions on placing that game onto my PSP. But when i try to play it, it says "This game cannot be started.
The data is corrupted." But the game icon looks fine, and its backround screen too. How can this be fixed, i tried fixing this a bunch of times, but the same thing keeps happening. Please, can somebody help me, i would really appreciate it.

OK, the first thing we need to know is - what is your PSP's firmware?

To find this out...

Go to your PSP's menu.
Go into Settings - System Settings - System Information.
Your PSP's firmware number will appear next to the text that says 'System Software Version'. It will be a one digit, two decimal number between 1.00 and 3.30.

OK, this'll be easy. Just let me make a package and write a little tutorial for you.

EDIT:
OK, here goes -

Download this.
Open it in WinRAR or a similar archiving program (7-Zip Archiver recommended if you have none).
Connect your PSP to your PC via USB, and enable USB mode on your PSP (Settings - Enable USB).
Extract all the files and the folder in the file you downloaded to this directory. If done correctly, it will complain that a folder called PSP already exists. Just click 'Yes To All' (unless you have a GTA: LCS savegame, please say so below if you do).
On your PSP, go into Photo, then press START on the folder called eloader. This will trigger an exploit and hopefully start an app with a small list of programs. If not, try again.
Start the 'v2.01 Downgrader' app, and so what it says to 'Set to v1.00'. (I think you use the Circle button.)
Once that's done, turn off your PSP if it hasn't already, and start the 1.50 update app from the PSP's menu, in Game - Memory Stick.
Follow the onscreen instructions. Now, I'll be lazy and quote the readme...

"Note that when the v1.5 Update is 99% complete, it will display an error message that it has 'failed - contact Sony customer support, error code FFFFFFFFF'. This is OK! Just power off your PSP, and reboot it.
You then get a blue screen, saying "Press O to reset your settings" in several languages. Press O, and your PSP reboots again - voila! You now have a v1.5 PSP."
The homebrew you mentioned should now work. If it doesn't, and the PSP says it's version 1.5, tell me below.
You will notice that many features are missing from your PSP now. If you want them back, say so below.

Phew. That was a lot of writing. Oh well, I hope it goes OK for you.
