How to solve this cube? I can solve a 2x2, but i get into impossible orientations. The fused corner must be messing it up. Does anyone know an algortihm to fix it? Thanks.

Can you be more specific? Assuming you are having trouble with the first cube, try treating the fused corner like it could have any orientation, whichever one allows your last layer OLL to work. Maybe post a picture or explain more specifically.
 
Yeah i did treat the fused corner as i could be in any orientation. So after finishing the bottom layer on one 2x2 (3 corners, 1 fused) and going for the last layer i get impossible OLL-s. After messing around a bit i got lucky and solved it, but i would like to know an algorithm to fix the parity.

well the "lazy" way to fix it is to put the fused corner at the DFR position (once you finish the first layer) and do R U R' U' R U R' (U') until you get a possible OLL case.
 
none of the OLLs are impossible because they're all solvable 2 gen

H: R2 U2 R U2 R2
Pi: R U2 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 R
U: R U R' U' R U' R' U2 R U' R' U2 R U R'
T: (R U R' U R U2 R') U2 (R' U' R U' R' U2 R)
L: R U2 R' U' (R U R' U') (R U R' U') R U' R'

that's not his problem exactly, it's that he has a sort of "parity" where a corner is apparently twisted, at least from what I can gather.
