Downloading Games To Your Psp

Many people think Sony psp games are overpriced, so here's a tutorial about downloading free
homebrew psp games from the web to your computer and installing them on your psp.

Commercial Psp games are contained in small discs that you can for real carry around, any way you may also store them in your memory sticks.

PSP

Get a Memory Stick for your Psp:

The Psp comes with a small 32Mb card that isn't big adequate to store a lot of video clips and
games, so you need to purchase a larger memory stick. These cards come in distinct sizes,
if you have adequate cash get a 1gb memory stick, but think that 256mb should be enough.
Then, insert your new memory stick into your Psp and reformat it.

Download the games to your computer:

You will be downloading the so called "Homebrew Psp games" to your psp; they are institution
design games produced by programmers. They emulate other gaming consoles and let you play
games from consoles such as Nintendo, Supernintendo, Megadrive, Neogeo and much
more.Homebrew psp games are downloadable all over the web and are normally compressed into
zip file archives. Please be sure that the files you download end with "psp", this is because
the programmer has ported the game to distinct consoles and platforms, and only a version
with "psp" in the filename will be compatible with your Psp.

Unfortunately, most homebrew Psp games work with Firmware 1.5 and under only (Sony is trying
to block people from playing homebrew psp games), so check out your psp firmware version and if you do have a later version of Psp, please think about downgrading you Psp. If you have a firmware later than 1.5 you may often get errors such as "The data is corrupted" or "The game could not be started".

Connect the Psp to your computer:

Ok, you have just downloaded the games to your computer, now just put your Psp into Usb mode
and connect it to the Pc via a Usb cable; the operating principles will identify your Psp as a
removable memory, assigning a drive to it. Drag and drop your Psp games into this drive, in
the Psp>Game directory. If the "Psp" and "Game" folders don't already exist on your Psp's
Memory Stick, then you need to generate two new folders (name them in All Caps).

Disconnect the Psp from your computer:

After the Psp games are completely transferred to your memory stick, disconnect the Usb
cable connecting your Pc to the Psp.

Play the downloaded games:

Once you have complete copying the games onto your memory stick, make your mind up the Game column on
your Psp and then the memory stick option; you should be able to see a list of ready
games.

Errors? If you find any error on your Psp (such as "corrupted data error"), chances are you
downloaded a game that is not compatible with the version of firwmare installed on your psp.
