First of all I want to say thanks to the developers of this emulator and all the support it gets. I also want to say that I'm brand new to the forums so please be kind.
I'm having an issue with Smackdown - Shut Your Mouth, and I know that plenty of others seem to have had issues with it as well. But in trying very hard to get past my problem, I've come across a problem that I haven't seen addressed yet.
Here's the situation: I'm using the freshest copy of Pscx2 and trying to run Smackdown SYM, and the game goes at a nice fast speed (reaching 500% at some points) until, of course, it gets to the menu- or rather where the menu would normally appear, and it doesn't. The game freezes but the music continues. Emulator shows my fps still going at 60-70.
Okay so that's not the new issue. I've seen that some people have had success doing something very specific, which is to find the patch for the game, make a copy of it, run the game, and look in the system window to see what the game's CRC value is when the elf file is loaded. There's a very specific thread explaining what to do, and in time I could find it and link to it here, but my point is I followed it quite accurately. The thing is, apparently the CRC code should consist of different letters and numbers than what is contained in the patch, and mine does not, so therefore I can't create a new one. The game's patch has been specifically identified as B0AE1898, but the loaded elf file lists the same characters after the CRC.
Here's a full copy of the information, which I noticed is rife with errors:

--------------------------
I have tried to understand as much of this as I can, but the vast majority of it is still over my head, so I apologize if I'm asking something that's already been discussed. I've looked through lots of threads and tried to re-read the starter guide, and I DO have some other games running fine on my laptop here (Timesplitters 2 runs at almost 100% speed, Shadow of the Colossus runs okay). But this game seems to be giving me special problems, and forgive me for going on at such length, but I just wanted to be specific so everyone knows that I'm only trying to fix a problem that I haven't seen a fix for somewhere else already.
Lastly, my specs:
Asus g51vx-rxo5 Intel centrino dual core 2.0 GHz with nvidia Geforce 260M
Sorry for being a noob, and sorry for making such a huge post. PLEASE accept my apologies if this has already been addressed specifically elsewhere, I did look for it. And thanks for any explanation in advance.
