As expected, your Terminator clip doesn't play on my PSP, and I have the same as you (PSP-1000, 5.00M33-6).  Gives me a "Video cannot be played" error.  PMPlayer AdVanCe just bombs out.
So if it's playing at your end, then that's odd...

Well, it's funny because I've read a lot of PSP x264 guides and tutorials online, and they all include b-pyramid parameter... but maybe with 640x480 res the PSP might screw up after a while. Oh, I also have the CPU Modulator plugin, so it might be clocking above 222 to keep speed...? Will have to install PSP-HUD (which shows CPU usage) and test it. Or does CPU clock not make a difference for video playback (dedicated H.264/AVC decoder chip)?

x264's b-pyramid is "broken".  I don't think this has anything to do with CPU speed.

Lol, I remember you disagreeing with me in the last thread. I'm uploading the resulting video to mediafire, if you check it's properties you'll see that its in 640x480 resolution, and it plays in widescreen on both the PSP and PC. I spent hours getting this trick to work with MediaCoder ;) Here - ~7MB PSP-compatible AVC video, 640x480, anamorphic - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?tnqboumyjok

Can't test the clip, but it's 16:9 which is the PSP's screen anyway, and it has the ability to stretch full screen.  Try some odd aspect and see if the PSP accepts it.

You can try lowering the deblocker, but I doubt that's the issue.  Try using a sharpen filter instead.  It could also be your resampling method you're using.

EDIT: tried disabling all my plugins but still can't get a ref=4 clip to work.  Tell me if this works on your PSP:
