PSP Downloadable games?

[Jase]

If anybody has a psp, on the main screen it says games, then you scroll down to the bottom and it says Memory stick. You press x on that and it says there is no games :s. Wth is that used for?

[Flauvo]

You put your game disc in and then there should be a copy button, then it copies the game to your memory stick...then you can play it without the disc...

bare in mind i dont have a PSP - from xbox experience

[Jase]

Lol, weird. But when your playing you can take out the disk and still play (it works for wipeout pure)

Thats... cool!

no... they are there for a reason, you can actually download games, I.E doom 1 and other classics, however you need version 1.5 and be able to follow hard instructions.

It's called homebrew.

I got version 2.00, do you need to be able to go on the web with your psp? Because i downloaded something of the us psp site from my laptop and added using meh usb cable.

[smurf-you]

hmmm... I'm pretty sure you can download movies/music/games of the sony website www.yourpsp.com, but you have to register, plus you get a free UMD.

I am not sure if you can put games on 2.0 from your computer, i will have to check that, i got 1.5 and i can put games on it.

Lol, i'm reading a guide on how to play games and go on paint of your psp and it says you have to downgrade to 1.5. However, this is risky and could freeze your psp. But somebody posted that there psp has completely froze and can't do anything on it rofl.

[smurf-you]

Yeah, you must downgrade to 1.5 which is also named as homebrew.


Advantages with 1.5

You can run emulators (any console)
You can run cool features like paint, word, spreadsheets ect.
You can use different systems ect...
You can play old school games like doom for free (That's emualtors)
On my psp i got snes, nes, neo geo and sega mega drive.




Disadvantages.

There is no internet browser, however you can hack that so you can.
You can't use BG pictures, but it's a small price to pay for having emulators.


However, the downgrade it self is pretty simple, all you need is to drag and drop, i found it pretty easy and will advise it to anyone.
Snapshot (Super Moderator) You can't play quite alot of the games with 1.5 aswell eg: gta lcs
Any other questions ask

[Jase]

but theres a big risk that it could freeze your psp

I'm not going to do it lol.
