How To Put Downloaded Games On Your PSP

 

Steps

1.      Connect your PSP to your PC with a USB cable compatible with the PSP, specifically with a USB Type A on one end and a USB Mini-B on the other (found at Wal-Mart for about $5). Go to Settings --> USB Connection. Now you should have a removable disk drive added on to your My Computer window.

2.      Go online and find a Emulator for PSP (Google it). Each game system (SNES, NES, SEGA, etc.) has its own emulator. Download file to Desktop (if .zip file, extract to Desktop after download). If you want to be safe on your finds, go to a trusted website (links below)

3.      Download the SEI PSP Tool (Again, Google it) to Desktop and extract to Desktop.

4.      Open SEI PSP Tool folder --> SEI PSP Tool. You basically have 3 or 4 things to do here.

5.      In the "Name" box type the name of the system emulator (i.e. if i have SNES emulator type SNES). In the "PHP" box, select the [...] box and find the EBOOT.php file you extracted from Step 2 (The folder should be on Desktop if you extracted to there). In the "drive" box select the drive the PSP is connected to (by default it should already be selected). Now *check* the box that says "Hide Corrupt Data Icon". Now click "Generate".

6.      By this point the SEI Tool should have created a "GAME" folder and in the "GAME" folder should be *two* folders. The "emulatorname" and "emulatorname%" (Note: emulatorname is what you put in the "Name" box in SEI Tool).

7.      Look for game roms (i.e. if you have a SNES emulator, go to Google and put "SNES roms". There are tons of sites for this. (www.romnation.net has a good collection).

8.      Download and extract roms to desktop. (After extraction put roms into any folder for easy access and later use).

9.      Transfer roms to "emulatorname" folder (in step 6), not "emulatorname%" folder.

10.   Select the "Back" button (usually circle) on PSP. Go to Game --> Memory Stick --> "Emulatorname"

11.   Enjoy nostalgic fun!!

 

Tips

• This works on OE firmwares too

 

Warnings

• There are disclaimers on the Rom sites. Basically, they say you must own the system and game in order to download roms FOR BACK-UP PURPOSES. Be advised some sites will make you agree to these terms before accessing these roms. All in all, its illegal to copy licensed roms!
• Hacking your PSP leaves you, the owner and/or user, liable for any damages done to unit. Hack at your own risk...by the way...if it does damage the unit...your warranty is VOID

 

Things You'll Need
