i found another type of save that jpcsp doesn't support. it was created on a psp, and transfering it normally to jpcsp will always fail.
no matter what crypto option is selected, it'll crash the game when it tries to load it. i couldn't get it to work until i tried to decrypt it with savegame deemer plugin, and the decrypted data was like 9 times bigger. jpcsp loaded that without any hiccups and recognized it perfectly.
so, it looks like savefiles can be compressed as well as encrypted. attaching the save, with both original encrypted version and a decrypted one.
when a new savefile was made with jpcsp, it also missed extracting the pmf animated icon file.
