Ratchet and Clank reportedly not working with custom firmware

Uh-oh. Please let's not react (or erupt) first - let's try to get down all that can be gleaned about this story first.

A PSP Fanboy reader emailed them saying that Ratchet and Clank doesn't work with his 3.10 OE custom firmware (he never said which rev). The game would also not connect via Wi-Fi ad-hoc and infrasturcture. It's an observation mirrored among other PSP custom firmware users - not only at PSP Fanboy. Suggestions that the game itself might be glitchy were dismissed: FW 3.11 users - including PSP Fanboy - reported no glitches whatsoever.

We don't think it's... er, a "deliberate" move on High Impact Games' part. Another reader of PSP Fanboy commented that Ratchet works well with DevHook, so those holding dual homebrew firmware options have a second option. Other suggestions included keeping the clock at 333, having no plugins, and keeping configurations disabled. No concrete reports, so far, on why Ratchet isn't cooperating with Dark_Alex's OE custom firmware.

You guys experiencing hangups, too? (Just the facts, please. Let's save the drama for another day.) Any other solutions in mind?
