Welcome to learning one of the most exciting things about PSP - how to get ready, where to put and how to run all those downloaded games easily!

Get ready!

1. You need a custom firmware to play downloaded games.
If you do not have one yet, here is how to get it.
It should not take more than 20-30 minutes.

2. Once you have a custom firmware, congratulations!!
You are ready to just play all those games available - both homebrew (written by members of the community) and UMD-rips ("bad people" rip expensive UMDs' contents and put it online).

How to run downloaded games

There are two major types of games available here - ISO/CSO images and EBOOT.PBP files.

ISO/CSO files on are to be copied into X:\ISO\file.iso,
where X: is your Memory Stick drive,
and file.iso/file.cso is the game you have downloaded
File.iso may have any name, just keep the .iso/.cso extension.

You will also find EBOOT.PBP files.
They are to be copied into X:\PSP\GAME\(any_folder_name)\EBOOT.PBP,
where X:\ is again your Memory Stick,
and (any_folder_name) - is just any folder that you create (one folder for each game).

Game will be titled in PSP XMB with that (any_folder_name).

Please always feel free to contact us should there be anything you need help with.

Good luck!
