HELP: I ran Xmame & it bricked my PSP

I had a PSP with 3.40 Dark_Alex firmware installed so I can play PS1 games. I decided to try MAME emulator and found XMAME at PSP Emulation News PSP Gaming PSP Hardware PSP Homebrew PSP hacking PSP Updates Playstation Portable PSP movies PSP consoles PSP Shop Buy Preoder PSP Here (I noticed the 0.1.2 was wrong so I guess it http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/files/xm..._1_2_tiny.zip).

I followed the instructions and tried it out. After running XMAME I get a black screen. I reboot and I still get a black screen. Is this what a bricked PSP looks like? Or is there another way to stop this?

If my PSP is really bricked what can I do to unbrick it?

1st what firmware do U have, and 2, I have never herd of an emulator that has bricked a psp, except for people who have problems with devhook, but If I were u, I would try to do a full shutdown on ur psp. if that doesn't work, take out the battery when it is standby, and wait about 5 ecs, then put the battery back in. I hope this helps.

Dark_Alex 3.40 OE is my firmware.

How do I do a full shutdown?

And yes, when I switch off, the power LED flashes for a few seconds before it's completely off. I think it's going into stand-by.

Hold the power switch for a few seconds. Or just do like ddggttff3 suggested, take your battery out.

Thanks guys for helping me reset my PSP from a homebrew crash/freeze.

Am interested in the RECOVERY of Dark_Alex's 3.40OE. I installed using 3.40OE straight and notice there are no RECOVERY files. I downloaded ALL Dark_Alex's firmwares (from psp-hacks.com) and found only 3.02 OE-A has the RECOVERY files. Interesting...

Also 3.03 series are the ones that contain popstation source code & exe.

It appears these nice utilities are spread out in different OE versions and one has to look for them.

OR does 3.40OE really contain all the files I need for RECOVERY? Could 3.40OE flasher do the RECOVERY flasher itself?
