Plugins not working
Plugins Not Working
A plugin you installed, such as a cheat engine or screenshot tool, never activates, or the PSP hangs at boot after you enabled it.
Common Causes
- Plugin not enabled. CFW lists plugins but leaves them off until you toggle them in the recovery or VSH menu.
- Wrong config path. The plugin list file or its referenced .prx path is mistyped or points to a missing file.
- Wrong runlevel. A plugin meant for in-game will not load if assigned to the XMB, and vice versa.
- Incompatible plugin. Plugins built for older CFW can crash modern 6.61 setups.
Fixes
- Open the CFW recovery menu (hold R while booting), go to Plugins, and switch the entry to Enabled.
- Confirm the plugin .prx files are in SEPLUGINS and that the list file points to their exact paths.
- Match the runlevel: use vsh for XMB tools and game for in-game tools like cheats.
- If the system hangs at boot, disable all plugins from recovery mode, then re-enable them one at a time to find the culprit.
| List file | Runlevel |
|---|---|
| VSH menu | XMB / system |
| GAME menu | In-game |
| POPS menu | PS1 games |
A single bad path can stop all plugins from loading, so check spelling carefully.
