PSP questions
My friend gave me his hacked PSP 1000, the thing is I don't know the first thing about the PSP.

Re: PSP questions
you need a USB cable to hook up the psp directly to the computer
make a file on the stick and place the games there. name it appropriately.
You could get an usb adapter and put the memory stick duo directly into the computer and transfer the files too.
Theres plenty of sites that offer games. For safety and civility, I wont mention those sites.
Just google the name of a game you're interested in and put ISO at the end. Google will do the rest and take you to a the site.
Classic games dont take much space. Newer games do. So find a big memory card.

Re: PSP questions
Modding a PSP is very easy and a lot of fun.
The first thing you need to do is get one of these and make sure you have one of these. Format the micro SD cards and then follow this guide to install custom firmware.
Once you have done that, you should be good to go!

Re: PSP questions
So I need both a PSP USB and a Memory stick?
Re: PSP questions
I'll say yes, the internal memory isn't that large and the memory stick is required especially for psn stuff(and not to mention to store your games that you're probably going to put on there). The usb cord probably isn't a bad idea to have anyways either..

You may not need both, but I think that having both would be more convenient.Violent By Design wrote:So I need both a PSP USB and a Memory stick?

Re: PSP questions
I'm still confused on where to put the firmware update. Do I just drag it to the memory stick folder?prfsnl_gmr wrote:I have a PSP 1000 too.

Re: PSP questions
I think so. It will look like a "game" when you open the PSP memory stick from the PSP.Violent By Design wrote:I'm still confused on where to put the firmware update. Do I just drag it to the memory stick folder?
