You need to set up the X9 to save in a compatible mode for X5, when you save it (or once)
So when you go to save your .pspimage file in X9, you will see an Options... button on the bottom right. Click on it.
Then, in Version, Save as... select the PSP X5 compatible file from the drop down list.
Then, your file will be able to be read in X5.
Once you have set this up, you don't have to redo it every time.

WARNING: if you have set up the compatibility to anything before X8, and you are using the Wrapped text feature (in X8 or X9), when you save it, it will DELETE your text completely without warning, even if you want to reopen it in X9.
