K, so I've been addicted to Harvest Moon Back to Nature for a while, but there's two things bugging me.

1. I always have a black border at the bottom, I can't get a full screen image. Does anyone know what's causing this?

2. I cannot make screenshots, though I've seen you guys make PSX shots, so could you please let me know which app you're using?

FYI, I play with a PAL version, which I converted to NTSC.

You are using it for PSP or just psx emulator on your PC ?

1. What firmware are you using? Black border at the bottom? Is it dead pixel or pixel stuck problem? Try check with this Dead Pixel Checker. To fix stuck pixel, try this. Cannot set to fullscreen? Did you try press home>setting>screen mode>fullscreen? What software did you use to convert the PSX game to PSP EBOOT format? I recommend using this PSX2PSP v1.2 - Popstation GUI. I'll convert Harvest Moon and see if it compatibility problem, if it is then nothing we can do.

2. There are many ways to take screenshot on PSP.

a) Using CWCheat - my favourite way

b) Using iRShell

c) Using SVCapture05 - with this you also can capture video in *.gif format.

Rockman:

I'm just playing a PSX game on my PSP, that's why I put it in this section

Cyclonmaster:

It's a black border of about 25-50 pixels wide, over the entire width of the screen, if all these thousands of pixels were stuck or dead I'd have thrown it through a window of Sony Netherlands Inc.

I've been using SVCPlayer or SVCapture for screenshots btw.

And yes, I've used that POPStation GUI

I'm not sure what the problem is unless you show some screen. Btw is it this black border?
   

You want it to be fullscreen like this right?
   

Press 'home' button then follow this.
   

   

   

I'm on 3.52 M33 btw.

Nope, I'll make a shot with my camera this afternoon and upload it

Ahh, ok. Nice screenshots!

Here's a screenshot of what happened.

Can you remove it and try again ? It is hard to see it.

I think his trying to show how the screen is black at the bottom, forcing the rest of the screen to squash up.

Exactly, what's on the screen is irrelevant.

This is also the reason why I cannot play using the fullscreen option, because I will miss the top of the screen.

Right now everything is strechted widely. Not that it bothers me right now, but I'd love to know the cause.

It's happening probably because you used PAL version converted to NTSC.The PAL games tend to be displayed incorrectly on PSP screen by themselves and the conv could've worsen that. Have you tried without the conversion?

Yeah, I wonder how the original PAL look like. And what converter did you use to convert yours to NTSC? Using PSX2PSP v1.2 - Popstation GUI?
You may want to try Paladin 1.2.

Oh, sorry.

Please continue what you are doing, Cid Highwind.

I just used the same app that turned it into an Eboot, the Popstation gui one.

And I indeed turned it into NTSC, so at least I now know the cause of the problems. I'll stick with it though, seeing how I don't feel like playing in slow motion all the time.
