WHEN REPORTING BUGS: Even if it's been reported by someone else, PLEASE attach the output from the tool AND android's logcat (if the issue is crashing, installing, etc). In addition, post what OS your computer is running and what kernel your Android is running.
Troubleshooting
Try leaving all settings to defaults (game name, title id, etc) and rebuilding
Your ISO may not be ripped correctly, try using a different software, or a dedicated PSX image ripper (google)
Your APK is not supported. Currently there are two versions of EUR Crash Bandicoot. Version 1 is not supported. If the NEWEST version of the JAR gives you an unknown apk error, you have version 1.
Redownload the JAR. I do ninja edits on it frequency with fixes.
Known Bugs
Crash Bandicoot EUR Release 1 does NOT work. If your CB APK file has the CRC32 0x3B6A23C1, it won't work. You can always flash a newer system image to get the newer crash bandicoot apk. For example, this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1043630
