OK I don't mean to revive an old thread, but I thought id just let you guys know that I found the solution.

It's a bug (?) in the PSP firmware apparently, that has been present since 3.80 (my guess was close!). Basically, using an ICON0.PNG bigger than 80x80 will result in the savegames it creates to revert to the inbuilt one, as you said ZB.

Solution? Use an 80x80 ICON0.PNG - that's all. Alternatively, using an *apparently* more compatible POPSLoader from before 3.80 will allow the 144x80 icons to be created properly on the savegames/memorycards. :) Peace.

EDIT: Holy poo poo, I summoned a creature from the graveyard! [Taps mana and attacks] haha i LOL'd IRL that's funny as.... hope I havnt caused grief for anyone lol, I found the reason why this was happening and thought i'd share is all ^_^ Feel free to lock!
