Sony Play Station Portable (PSP) is one of the most popular portable gaming platforms today. There are many fans of this device all over the world. The PSP uses in its platform specially created UMD optical discs. Therefore, according to the manufacturer's idea, PSP games cannot be played on a regular computer. However, gamers have come up with a way to get around this limitation.
Instructions
Step 1
There are so-called emulators - these are programs that create a virtual device on your hard drive. In other words, after installing this program, your computer will "think" that the PSP platform is connected to it. Download an emulator for PSP. You can find several similar programs on the Internet, in principle they differ little from each other.
Step 2
Next, you need an image of the game that you want to download to your computer. You can download it from the net. There are many resources that provide this content for free.
Step 3
Usually the images are archived. Therefore, first of all, unzip the required ISO or CSO file. After that, run the downloaded image through the emulator (to install the emulator, you just need to follow the installation program). To do this, in the File tab, specify the path to the image with the downloaded game.
Step 4
If you have a gaming platform itself, then to download games to it from the Internet, you will need CUSTOM firmware (you will not be able to launch games downloaded from the network on official firmware). Firmware can also be downloaded from the World Wide Web, on most sites they are freely available.
Step 5
If you insert a new memory card into a CUSTOM flashed PSP platform, then you do not need to create an ISO folder yourself. To do this, simply format the card through the game console. After that, all the necessary folders will appear automatically.
Step 6
Connect your console to your computer via USB. Now just copy the previously downloaded ISO or CSO image to your memory card. Folder path: X: / ISO /. Please note that only the image itself needs to be copied to this folder, not the folder where it is located after unzipping.
