lol yeah i've had that error before. its a strange error. i get it with most apps that is trying to access the psp kernal. But i get this with certain memory sticks only. With the default 32mb memory stick i seem to have no problem, but with my 128mb stick i do. i've notice on any stick that will not format properly has this problem. try formating your MS, and see if you get an error message in the end. if so its the stick.

This means since you have version 1.5 you have to use the kxploit method.
Basically, if you have to copy two directories onto your memcard (NAME and NAME% obviously NAME can be anything) then it should work. If you are just copying a single eboot file to PSP/GAME on the memstick then no wonder it won't work, that only works on 1.0.

Ok, well there's your problem. kxploit works on 1.5 which could also be written as 1.50, which is NOT the same as 1.51. This is newer and sony has since fixed this.
Homebrew is impossible (AFAIK) on 1.51.
You do however, have an option: find an upgrader to version 2.00 (you must hit EXACTLY this version. 2.01 is different and there's no turning back) from there you can use the 2.0 eboot loader for HW, or attempt a downgrade back to 1.50. (I have done this, but can't guarantee it will work for you and wont brick your psp - standard discaimer :)
