Ok, so you need to downgrade PSP firmware so you can get all the games and movies you could possibly dream of. Before you begin you will need a internet connection, usb cable, a PSP (naturally) & firmware downgrade software. Towards the end of the article I’ll share a few links for you to get the firmware software that you need for free and a link to reviews on the best free psp download sites.

Firstly you need to know if you are eligible to downgrade your PSP firmware. Unfortunately if your firmware is about version 3 you will have problems downgrading your firmware. For you to be able to use the your PSP for getting content of the internet your goal is to get your firmware to 1.5 or below.

Ok so lets assume you have your usb cable ready on hand to downgrade your PSP firmware the next step is to find out what version you currently have. This will appear as the PSP loads on startup. Write down what version this is so when we begin the hunt for your PSP downgrade software we can make sure you get the right one.

If you get the wrong PSP downgrade software you run the risk of stuffing up you PSP for good. The only other risk that you must know of when downgrading your PSP is that upon downgrading your firmware you will void your warranty. The good thing about the PSP console is that they very rarely have problems and if they do they are usual trivial issues that can be fixed very easily.

There is no one that has all firmware downgrade software so ultimately what I suggest is that after you determine what version of firmware you have, you should then go to Google and type”downgrade PSP firmware version xyz” by doing this you will be able to find the software that is more relevant to what you are using at this point in time. If you do use the wrong firmware downgrade software you will run the risk of making your PSP a dead unit.

If you do happen to make the mistake of using the wrong PSP firmware downgrade you do have the option of adding a mod chip to your unit which will cost around $100 dollars. Even if you did happen to screw up your unit and then had to go out and mod your unit. You will then have the option of looking at Thousands of games and movies for a once of fee.

The choice is yours ! Downgrade your PSP firmware

Is it really possible to play PS1 games on the PSP? Of course it is. There are tons of software that will allow you to play PS1 games on your PSP, and I am going to give the secret away! You are going to find out how to get them downloaded, and how to copy them over using your USB cable.

There are a few things that you are going to need in order to put PS1 games on the PSP. The first thing that I recommend, if you don’t have already, is to buy the biggest memory stick for your PSP that you can afford. The more space you have the more games, movies, music, etc that you are going to be able to have at any given time.

You will also need all of the software that is needed. I will explain everything as I go through the steps below. The software includes a place to download the ROM’s (games), and software that will copy the games to the correct directory on your memory stick.

The only other thing that you will need is the USB cable for your PSP. You will need to connect it to your computer and copy the games that you download over to your memory stick. You can get a USB cable at any store that carries games usually, but you should have the one that came with it originally.

Now that you know what is required, the only thing left is to start downloading and playing the games. Sounds simple, but there are a lot of bad download services on the net. You need to make sure that you have one that is reliable, has customer support, and a fresh large database of games.

Once you get your games downloaded, the next step is to get the games over to your PSP. So, connect your USB cable, and browse to your memory stick. This is where you will copy your games. You need to make a new folder on your memory stick called Games. This is the only place to put your games, or they will not work.

Now you can use your PSX emulation software and play any PS1 game that you download. The download service that you choose should provide all of this software for you in one place. There is no need for you to be looking around for this software on the net.

The potential of PSP is truly limitless; its gaming strength is not only powered by the great titles released for the console but it can also play games designed for other consoles like SEGA or GB by using emulators. Now, another gaming experience is added to the list. With a little reconfiguration, you can play PS1 games on your PSP. How to do it? Well, here’s a short guide to unleash your PSPs gaming power:

Requirements:

* Sony PSP with battery charged at least 75%.(Recommended: Full charge)

* Memory Stick Duo (Recommended: 1GB and above)

The first step to running your custom made Playstation games on your PSP involves getting the 3.02 OE-B (stands for Open Edition).

Starting with firmware 1.50

The first step is to have a PSP that is running on the 1.5 version of the PSP firmware. You can check for this by going into the System “System Settings” on your PSP, then System Information.

Important note: There is a version of the PSP’s motherboard known as TA-082, which, will not work under this situation. Do not attempt to continue with the installation if you have this motherboard. For more information, see The PSP-TA082 guide.

If you don’t have a 1.5 firmware, you can downgrade your PSP. If you don’t know how, just refer to the internet, there are many guides out there on how to downgrade any version.

Installing the 3.02 OE-A firmware:

1. First, download the official Sony PSP 1.50 Firmware and 3.02 Firmware, available here:

PSP 1.50 Firmware

PSP 3.02 Firmware .

2. Rename the 1.50 Firmware to 150.PBP, and the 3.02 firmware to 302.PBP.

3. Download the 3.02 Open Edition A from the here. Extract the files to the directory of your choice.

4. Copy the files 150.PBP and 302.PBP to the directory called oeupdmaker.

5. Copy the directories 302oeflasher, 302oeflasher%, oeupdmaker, oeupdmaker% to your PSP under the /PSP/GAME/ directory.

6. Go into your Game on your PSP menu, select Memory Card, and run 3.02 OE-A Update Maker. This will extract files from the 1.50 and 3.02 firmware to create the new custom firmware.

7. Reconnect your PSP to your computer. In the owupdmaker on your PSP is a new file titled DATA.DXAR. Copy this file to the 302oeflaster directory.

8. Run the program on your PSP called 3.02 OE-A Firmware Install. Do not turn off your PSP at this moment.

9. Wait - when it’s done, your PSP will reboot, and you’ll have your 3.02 OE-A firmware.

Upgrade to 3.02 OE-B:

1. Download the 3.02 OE-B installer from here.

2. Extract the directory.

3. Make new folder in you PSP’s directory name it GAME150.

4. Copy the folder OEB_UPDATE to your /PSP/GAME150 directory on your PSP.

5. On your PSP, run the program titled 3.02 OE-B Update.

6. That’s it - it will update, then exit. You can now backup your PS1 games and play them on your PSP.

Downgrade your PSP easily and safely. If you wish to downgrade your PSP, this may be very possible. There are only a few versions right now that you cannot downgrade. If you currently own a PSP that is over version 3.03 then, unfortunately, you cannot downgrade (at the time of writing).

The good news is that if you own a PSP under 3.03, you can downgrade to 1.50. Now what’s so good about 1.50? Well, for one, it lets us play games, known as homebrew. These homebrew games are made by programmers for the PSP and are readily available to download to your PSP legally. In addition to being able to play homebrew games, we can also download emulators which let us play a range of “old school” games from other consoles like Nintendo Game Boy, Sega Master system, Atari, and even one for the Nintendo 64 (plus a stack more).

Aside from the thousands of games w can play with a downgraded PSP, you can also download homebrew applications, these applications let you do a wide variety of things with your PSP such as turn your PSP into a Universal Remote Control, Wi-fi Sniffer (lets you find wireless networks in your area), GPS and you can even stream media over the Internet through your Wi-Fi receiver on to your PSP.This is why many people make the decision to downgrade their PSP.

You should consider purchasing a bigger memory stick if you decide to downgrade your PSP, currently when you purchase a PSP, you are usually given a 32 MB memory stick, which is not a lot of room and if you really want to make the most of your PSP I would recommend you purchasing a 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB or even the recently released 4 GB memory stick for your PSP. Obviously, the bigger your memory stick, the more games, applications and DVD’s you can place on your memory stick.

To downgrade your PSP you really only need a couple of things. Firstly, you need a mini USB cable to connect your PSP to your computer. Secondly, you need the correct downgrader to run and install the correct files on to your PSP.

Be very careful, when downgrading your PSP and make sure you follow the instructions exactly as they are presented. If you do not, the chances are you will brick your PSP (brick meaning, render it useless). It also goes without saying that if you try to downgrade your PSP with the wrong installer, e.g. using a 2.8 downgrader and your PSP is a 2.6, this will also brick your PSP.

While some people may think that downgrading their PSP is not worth the risk. I for one feel it is. Downgrading my PSP has changed it from the average run-of-the-mill PSP to a fully functional multimedia centre. I no longer have to purchase games if I want to as there are hundreds if not thousands of homebrew games that I can legally download and play, I can also back up my entire DVD collection and watch them on my PSP, and my favourite,change the TV channels with my PSP while everyone wonders who the hell keeps changing the channels, doesn’t it sound enticing?

I suggest you downgrade your PSP today, you won’t regret it and you’ll never look back.

A PSP ROM is basically a copy of a game that can be downloaded from the Internet to your computer and then transferred to the memory stick to be played on your PSP. To play these games you must have the correct firmware, it usually means downgrading your PSP. You should be looking for firmware version 1.5, but don’t worry I have found a place that not only has literally hundreds of ROMS for you to download but also all the information on downgrading your firmware. It even has step by step guides to help you all the way.

By the way if you want to find out what firmware version your PSP is running just turn on the PSP, go to settings> system settings>system information click X and you will get a message “system software version” 1.0 1.5 1.51 or 1.52.

As you know Sony decided to release games for it PSP using UMD or Universal Media Disc, which can store up to 1.8GB of various media types including, games, music and video. Sony has no intention of releasing UMD readers/writers to the general public. So in theory UMD’s are non re-writable.

There are also a lot of PSP games by unlicensed developers and game demos freely available on the Internet but you must be careful where you down from.

You will be surprised installing PSP ROMS is actually a lot easy than you might think. A lot of the time is a simple process of drag and drop. As long as you put everything in the correct folder you will be OK.

First of plug your PSP in to your computer using your USB cable. Turn on your PSP and find your way to Settings > USB connection and press X. You will find that your computer will automatically finds the PSP. Go to my computer > removable disc (usually drive F:). You will now be browsing the contents of your memory stick. You will see a folder called PSP open this up and create a folder called GAME. Remember you will need to create a new folder for each ROM you use.

I’ve noticed this question gets asked at least once or twice a week on the popular PSP help forums so I decided to post a tutorial on how to fix the “not enough memory error” for your PSP. There also seems to be a lot of confusion as to the difference between your memory card and your PSP unit’s memory.

Oddly enough this error has absolutely nothing to do with the size of the memory card that you have in your PSP. Memory in this instance refers to the amount of RAM, or Random Access Memory, the PSP has. Each PSP has 4 Megabytes (MB) of fast DRAM, used for video or game resources, and 32 MB of embedded RAM, for system resources.

Unlike a computer RAM is something you cannot change or upgrade for the PSP. If you get this error you are left with these two options. If you have a lot of tabs open try closing the ones your aren’t using. The PSP may not be capable of loading what you want because it lacks the resources. Restart your system and try to run the desired file as soon as your PSP starts up.

Again, this has nothing to do with the size of your memory stick. Memory sticks run out of storage space, not memory. The term memory should never be used when referring to your memory stick’s storage capacity. The two share nothing in common. This statement is also true for other devices, such as your PC. Your computer’s hard drive is not memory, but rather a storage device.

Connecting your Playstation Portable (PSP) to your Playstation 3 (PS3) will allow you to play your PS3 games running on your console in your home from your PSP outside your home, using your PS3s’ wireless remote connection feature. In this article I will explain the benefits of establishing this connection.

In the resource box at the bottom of this article you will find a link to a video explaining how a PS3 and a PSP can be connected. The operation should go pretty smooth if you follow the guidelines in the tutorial video. You will find a video link at the end of this page.

Being separated from your new PS3 for a longer period of time can be hard. Imagine how hard it will be when new games like the new Grand Theft Auto get released. Connecting your PSP to your Playstation 3 will allow you to play your PS3 games even when you are outside your home.

You can play your Playstation 3 games from your office when you have a couple of minutes available, at your grandmothers’ birthday party, at the train or on the subway. With the wireless connection in your PS3 combined with the pretty high quality screen on your PSP this is not a bad option at all.

In addition to playing games from your PSP you are also able to watch movies from the Blue-ray/ DVD player on your PS3. Even though it is very possible to install videos on a PSP it is also a benefit to be able to watch DVD’s on it. I bet you have more DVD’s than you have PSP movies. At least I have.

If you have music installed on your Playstation 3 these are also available to play using your PSP if you have built a connection between the two. This is a handsome feature that can come in handy in a lot of situations.

Still I believe the most powerful feature of building a PSP-PS3 connection is the ability to play games. The quality is more than good enough and the ability to play my PS3 games from my sunny garden chair with a lemon ice tea is nothing to complain about.

Holding a brand new PSP in the palm of your hands is one thing but realising the potential of the Sony PSP is another. What you have in your hands is a games console, an MP3 player, a movie player, an Internet browser, a photo viewer plus a lot lot more. This article looks to highlight some of the best features of the Sony PSP and shows you how best to use those features.

The PSP arrived at the end of last year with the kind of buzz surrounding its launch that I hadn’t seen since the launch of the playstation 2. This psp buzz was matched by the eagerness of everybody who wanted the psp and it seemed like an eternity before Sony manufactured enough stock to match the demand for the psp. It soon became apparent that the PSP was a whole lot more than just another games console.

PSP Wallpapers
To make the most of your PSP wallpaper you need to upgrade to version 2 of the firmware. This can be done online and detailed instructions are available in your psp manual. A wonderful feature of the psp is the ability to have an image of your choosing as your psp wallpaper. I chose a slightly blurred image of my son in close up as my psp wallpaper. I was amazed at how good this looked, while the psp wallpaper was slightly blurred it highlighted the text above it and made it clearly readable.

Of course you can choose whatever image you like as your psp wallpaper but the process of setting your psp background wallpaper is to firstly enable the psp wallpaper function under themes. You then go to your photo folder on your psp and choose the image you like and set it as your wallpaper.

PSP Hacks
There are a whole host of new psp hacks being found every day but one of the best psp hacks by far is how to run a multiplayer game when there is only one UMD game disk between all of you. It is so simple and by far the best psp hack I have come across.

Start the game on the first psp in ad hoc multiplayer mode and make sure you have unlimited time as well.

On the first psp, eject the UMD game disk and when the message asks if you want to quit answer with no.

Put the UMD disk in the next psp and start a multiplayer ad hoc game as in step 1.

Repeat the process with all players and enjoy!

I love this psp hack a lot.

PSP Downloads
This is a great feature of the psp, the ability to download utilities, software, games, music, movies onto your psp. PSP download sites are appearing everywhere, some are better than others but the ability to do a psp download is an awesome feature.

PSP Games
Of course the primary function of the psp is games. PSP games come in all genres and the catalogues of psp games is expanding every week. One of the best games for the psp so far is without a doubt FIFA 2006, it is a great game but as always it is a matter of preference. There are PSP games for everyone.

This demonstrates just a few of the amazing things the Sony PSP has given us so far. It is still very early days for this awesome product but as new psp games are developed and psp hacks are unearthed along with some amazing downloads for the psp, the future looks very bright for the Sony psp.
