The installation of licensed games on PSP will not be difficult for any user of this miniature, but sufficiently powerful console. Their installation occurs by analogy with any other application.

PSP firmware

Before rushing into the vastness of the Internet behind the images of new games, it is worth determining what firmware is on your console, as a result - which games will start on it. To find out the necessary details:

  • turn on the PSP with the corresponding button;
  • we go into “Settings”;
  • open the submenu “System Settings” -›“ Information ”;
  • we look at the line “System software” and the extremely accurately rewrite the indicated values \u200b\u200b(come in handy in the future).

Now a little information about the firmware itself, which are factory and “custom”. The former are created by the hands of official developers and are installed on the console directly by the manufacturer. This will not allow you to launch third -party games received from the Internet or other sources. Therefore, private enthusiasts and fan community were created by custom-madeings that give the owner of the PSP the ability to open applications from a flash card. How to distinguish one firmware from another? You can either look for information on the network according to the designations available in hand, or look at them yourself. If in the recorded issue from the “system along” section the letters go after the numbers - your custom firmware, you can proceed to the search and installation of games. If not, you will have to limit yourself to licensed copies or reflash PSP (independently or in specialized service centers). It should be borne in mind that games developers are constantly improving software protection, so not all games will be launched on specific firmware, you will have to reflash several times.

Installing PSP game on custom firmware

If you figured out the type of firmware and found games under it, it is time to install them. Usually in the topic of the author distributing the game, there may already be clear recommendations for installing the program. We follow them or the general leadership below:

  • Connect PSP to a USB cable computer. We go to the “menu” - ›“ settings ” -› “USB connection” so that the PC will recognize the device like a flash drive.
  • If the game is packed in the archive, we pre -unzip it on the computer.
  • For firmware 3.xx and M33: files, with ISO or CSO extensions, put in the ISO folder, which is located in the root catalog of the card.
  • If there are no folders, it can be created manually or formatting the carrier through the console itself.
  • If the game has an EBOOT format, we put it on a root catalog with the folder in which it is enclosed.
  • In order for the image to start, you need to connect it to the UMD PSP drive (or enable the “USE No-UMD” function for games that support this mode).
  • The final stage: we go to the “game” -›“ Memory Stick ”and (if everything is done correctly) we see the connected game. We click on it with the “X” button to start.
  • PSX games must not be put in the root catalog, but in/psp/game/.
