How Do I Download and Transfer PSP Games From PC Onto My PSP in 6 Easy Steps

by Dino Solar


First Of All: What Do You Need ?

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.
