Downloading A PSP Emulator

The PSP is a cool portable gaming technology, and everyone who
owns one gets great value in being able to download and play all
types of games, movies and music.

The best feature of the PSP is that you can actually use it not
only to play PSP games and Movies, but also to also load and
play all of your other console games (including Nintendo and
Game boy games).

To take full advantage you need to download a piece of software
onto your PSP, called an emulator (or sometimes referred to as a
homebrew.

An emulator is a piece of software that causes your PSP to act
as though it were a different games console, such as the Super
Nintendo or a Sega Genesis. After you have loaded the emulator
onto your PSP, the emulator will allow you to play other gaming
console games.

Please note that although downloading and installing a PSP
emulator onto your PSP is not illegal, downloading the games to
use on your PSP emulator could be.

Here is how can you find PSP Emulators

First off, before you can begin to search for and download an
emulator for your PSP, you need to check what firmware version
your PSP games console has installed. This is because, the only
PSP firmware versions that you can download a game onto are
versions 1.0 and 1.50, as currently the firmware versions 1.51
and above, won't allow you to run a PSP emulator.

You can check the firmware version on your PSP console, simply
by scrolling left on the PSP main screen and selecting the
options in the following order: SETTINGS > SYSTEMS SETTINGS >
SYSTEM INFORMATION > SYSTEM SOFTWARE. The SYSTEM SOFTWARE option
should show you your PSP firmware version number.

Now you have checked that you have the correct firmware version,
you can now go about looking for a PSP emulator. The best option
for PSP games console owners, is to start by searching for large
official PSP downloading websites. These Websites offer you the
opportunity to download emulators for your PSP (as well as being
able to download a wide range of legal games, music and TV
shows).
