[H754]How Do You Download Psp Games

by Dion Laros, Dio

- PSP
- COMPUTER (PC/MAC/LINUX)
- Memory Stick Duo Or Memory Stick Pro Duo
- USB Cable With A Mini-B Connector On One End

STEP 1: CONNECT YOUR PSP TO PC

The PSP can function as a USB Memory Stick Duo reader. Using this functionality, you can copy pictures, audio, and other content to and from your Memory Stick Duo. To access the Memory Stick Duo in your PSP from your PC, you'll need a USB cable that has a "Mini-B" connector (common for digital cameras) and a "Standard-A" connector (common for printers, etc). Plug the Mini-B side into the top of your PSP and the Standard-A side into your PC. From the PSP software, navigate to the top of the settings list and select "USB Connection." Your PC (Windows/Mac/Linux) should detect a new "Removable Disk Drive" that you can then access.

STEP 2: FORMAT YOUR MEMORY STICK

In order to be able to use your new memory stick on your PSP, you'll have to format it. When you format your memory stick, the formatting will create a set of new folders on your PSP: GAME, MUSIC, PHOTO, and SAVEDATA.

STEP 3: EXTRACT THE SAVED GAME

This process will greatly depend on which software you use to extract zip files. WinRAR for instance offers the "extract here" option, which will simply extract the contents of a zip file to it's current directory.

STEP 4: TRANSFER SAVE GAME TO "SAVEDATA" FOLDER

Just copy the folder you have just extracted, and paste it into the PSP's "SAVEDATA" folder. But, BEWARE!, to any folder overwrite warnings! Because the PSP save game folders use the same names for the same games, copying folders into these locations could lead to lost data. For this reason, we recommend that you backup your old save games before overwriting them. For Example, I would simply rename a folder like "ULPS0004" to "ULPS0004_backup."

STEP 5: EXIT USB MODE

Because your PSP has been in USB Mode throughout this process, just push X to exit. Then you can safely disconnect your PSP from your PC.

STEP 6: VERIFY TRANSFER OF SAVE DATA

To verify the integrity of the SAVE GAME data you have just transferred, use the PSP's built-in Save Data Utility. Select it from the "Game" menu.

That's it, simple and smooth.

"Where Can I Download PSP Games?"

You can download free PSP games, movies, TV shows, wallpapers and software for your handheld entertainment device. Although these PSP game download sites can often be found rather easily, not all of them are that good or lack the content you were searching for in the first place. Once you are on your way searching for PSP games to download, you will quickly see there are many PSP game download websites out there that will let you download free PSP games.

Many of these sites let you download these games at ultra low speeds and make your computer being filled to the brim with spy- and ad ware. But luckily I've found sites, which don't have these problems. These sites will let you download at ultra fast speeds without the risk of getting your computer filled with spy- and ad ware.

On the surface, many of the sites offering you the ability to download PSP games appear to be legit. They've got the nice graphics, the normal 'disclaimers', they even have privacy policies! I mean, how much more legal could that be? There are a few who you can trust, but for the most part, if you make a pick the wrong place you could get fined thousands of dollars!

Well, the reality is vastly different. And here's why: most of the sites where you download PSP games are not letting you do it legally. The games, movies and TV shows they offer are all pirated. Now I'm not one to point a finger at downloaders. I've done it, you've done it, we've all done it! However, would you pay for the privilege of getting hacked stuff?

How To Avoid Fines When You Download PSP Games: Do Your Homework

Think about it for a second, if you're paying to get games, they have your personal info! What do you think happens when Sony steps in and shuts one of these sites down?

Yea, they know all about you. And if you just purchased a "Life Time Membership" to a PSP Hack site, how much of that cash do you think you'll get back?

How To Avoid Fines When You Download PSP Games: 100,000,000 Games?

This one should be obvious. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

My rule is to always shy away from the sites offering more games than the entire collection of Sony gaming systems could support. Seriously. How dumb do they think we are!? And if they really do have 100 Million games what kind of crap are they trying to pass off, and where are they finding them? Last I checked, it wasn't that fun to wander through some off topic RPG where the dialog is in Russian.

How To Avoid Fines When You Download PSP Games: Why Do You Want My Email?

This one has it's good and bad side, but when you're dealing with a site that's offering 100% illegal content for a fee I'm not so sure I can trust their anti SPAM and privacy policy.

So the bottom line is pretty simple: Use your best judgment when choosing a site to download PSP Games. There are a few out there who will cut you a fair deal, but the massive majority... not so much. Watch yourself out there!
