yeah, umm that site for the windows 98 drivers isnt exactly free. You have to paypal 1 dollar which is a problem for me since I have no way in paypaling one dollar being 15 years old.

I did all I am suposed to for puting folders and copying movies on my PSP then when I go to look at them on my PSP it says there are no videos help me

Is there some kind of external hard drive for the psp, so you can use it instead of a memory stick?

Rocco, that'd be a really great peripheral for someone to develop for the Sony PSP, but I haven't heard even the barest rumor of it existing, which is too bad. Memo to Sony: that's the main reason that people like Walt Mossberg at the Wall Street Journal never mention the PSP as a video player...

I don't get why music I download to my PSP can't be found on my PSP

Just got a new psp. Went to play a game and got the message "to start, you must update the system software" and all the buttons except "back" button are useless.

What to do?

I need some help have brought a PSP told it was region free but got it and it will not play films but will play games on ringing sony it turns out it is a Region 3 is there any way of freeing up the region code

There's no way to free up the region encoding as far as I know, but this does highlight an important warning for people who are thinking that they can save money on a PSP by buying it through eBay or similar: make sure that it's coded for your own region, or you'll find that not only do UMD movies not play but that there are some games that appear to be regionally encoded too.

I downloaded the downgrader but i dont know how to start it.

I keep putting the game i want under PSP/GAME and nothing pops up on the psp and when i put it under
PSP/GAME/GAME it says corrupted data,what do i do?

I don't offer help with either downgrading firmware or downloading games onto your PSP. Perhaps someone else can pop up with a solution instead?

umm this is outdated you CAN run homebrew on 2.0 now dude, might wanna do a quick update ;-)

Sony's firmware keeps updating - it's now at 2.60 but will doubtless change yet again as Vongo comes fully online - and yes, the firmware downgrades keep tracking along too, Mike. That's the nature of things.

As always, be careful when you use unknown source firmware for your Sony PSP as it can possibly destroy the unit and make it a "brick".

How do I get the Internet in the rural area, I live in a area with lot of trees so what do I I need to do and when I try to scan it , it says {No acess point were detected } so what do I do ?

Shajuana, I don't know how you can solve that problem unless you have a wired Internet connection and can piggyback off that with your own wifi base station (they're about $40-$50 at most stores). Good luck!

how do i clean my umd game and the plastic cover if they both are scratched and the game wont play.

I purchased the PSP for my husband yesterday. Today, I attempted to transfer files from my PC, and ran into a problem (Win98sec). Within just a few minutes, I came across the reason. You just saved me from spending hours trying to make this work. Thanks!
Guess I'll update my OS next week :)

how do i put windows 98 in to my psp i paid for the windows 98 but i dont know how to putit in my psp

Hi, Dave
Just wanted to let you know that I couldn't resist trying the Ipod driver for Win98. It works!
Paid $5 for it, but it was cheaper (and faster) than upgrading my OS. Very easy!

My daughter has a PSP and would like to play solitare on it I can't seem to find this simple to buy can you help?

Mat, as far as I have seen, there is no Solitaire game for the PSP as of yet. Y'd think that would be a basic one...

i want to download games from my friends PSP and keep the games but i dont know how.

im running v2.00 and i want to put all my music videos from my PC to the PSP. the files are MPEG. how do i transfer them to memory stick?

I want to put my psp on Windows 98 SE but I cannot pay a dollar. can someone who has already paid post it up here cause I need to transfer files from my psp to my computer for free cause I don't have money to throw around, I am 13, I do not (and don't plan on getting) a paypal account. Can anybody please help me? Windows 98SE driver for psp needed desperately.

I just got 2.7 and downloaded locoroco and I want to know some exploits and possible ways to run homebrew on this

lol google Windows 98 drivers for PSP and download all of them to your computer then hook up your psp and your computer should automatically pick the best driver and install software for it. if Sony PSP Type A does not come up when you hook up your psp and put it in usb mode, then press the start button on computer go to settings control panel system device manager then scroll down and remove everything with a ? or ! next to it. restart and it should do it automatically. then go to my computer and there should be an E:\ drive there. (it may have a wierd picture, like a notepad) but it still works. lmgdfao! it works!

How do you transfer a saved game from PS2 to PSP?

a connection error has occured. the connection to the network has been dropped. please help me. do i need wirelees or not.

My PSP firmware version is 2.81 and im wondering if i can play downloaded games on my PSP. If it helps then the game in question is Locoroco. Also where do I put the game? PS. I dont mean homebrew games.

I was looking for PSP drivers because I couldn't connect it to my old laptop with win98 OS. I was also on your site but there was no good solution for my (and many other users) problem. But thanks to Google I found it! Here they are -> http://www.psp-vault.com/UpDownload-req-viewdownloaddetails-lid-873.psp . They're not exactly for PSP (cause they're for some kind of digital camera) but it works!

how can i downgrade my psp to a 2.0 or lower ver.

Is it possible to change the color of the text on the menu screen?

Hi Dave! My PSP has the screen cracked (the outside protector,you know the black case that covers the whole PSP's front side) anyway,do you know if it's available.

Dennis, no you can't change the text color as far as I know.

Jaime, I don't believe that the PSP is user serviceable. Instead, I suggest you seriously consider just sending your PSP in for service. Fortunately, you aren't stuck with Sony:

Hope that helps you out!

so dave, if i join a psp site and download games onto my psp. what requirements do i need to play them? thanks

Thanks for the response Dave.Anyway just wanted to say that the psp version 3.11 is out but it is not diferrent from version 3.10

Jarrad, please be aware that if you do join one of those PSP game sites, odds are very good that everything you download will be an illegal copy of a commercial game. I explain more about how those work at this article:

http://www.askdavetaylor.com/are_pspblender_and_allpspgames_legal.html

Can I expect a fair amount of the games offered for the PS2 to eventually be available for my PSP? For instance...Kelly Slater Pro Surfer.

can you please tell me how to upgrade my psp from a version 2.71 to a version 3.11. and also tell me if there are any risks in doin so. what will the version 3.11 have new. thank you and please, please reply very soon.

YO! dave
ive got a question for u
do u know any good websites to download free psp games for psp without joining fees or membership fees????

thx :D

Dave, once again I need help, I wanted to play pokemon games on my psp so I downloaded Visual Boy Advance for PSP. I saved the folder in PSP/GAME, in the PSP the VBAforPSP appears but when I press x it says"The game cannot be played.The data is corrupted." I don't undestand, they are ROMs saved in there.Please help me.

Sandeep, to upgrade your PSP to version 3:11 select under Settings Network Update,then select an Internet connection(you need a wireless Internet connection,you can also download it in a pc just google it ex: psp updates in the google bar and press search) after you connect to the Internet it will start downloading and then the psp will restart if it didn't updated just select Memory Stick under Game and press x and it will start the update.PS:Dave if I can't reply posts please tell me

i try to get `game boy so i so could get pokemon games but it say the game could not be started the data is corrupted pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee help

David,you are so inmature so what if that guy above wants to play pokemon,its his life!By the way Dave,I can download Windows 95 for my PSP,should I download Windows or no?

So you don't recommend us to downgrade to 1.5 using the "downgrade tool" on that site? So that we can play downloaded games on PSPs?

hi! how do i get dowloaded psp games inn to my psp? the files its just to big :S

Dear Dave , I know your busy but you havent answer my question,anyways i just want to know, in ANYWAY can i use my PSP as a wireless modem for my computer?i have no Internet service for my pc but in a corner(yes,a real corner)of my house theres a internet signal with no security(WEP,etc) and i'm tired of saving link targets and turning on my pc just to view better the page,so please help me!

Jyro, downgrading your PSP has some inherent dangers, even more than the rather clumsy firmware upgrade method that Sony uses. If you use the search engine here on my site and search for "psp downgrade" you'll find a couple of articles worth reading!

Howard, I don't generally support downloading games because with the exception of a few demos from Sony, the downloads are all bootleg and are illegal (regardless of what the download site might tell you).

Finally, Jaime, no, you can' tuse your PSP as a wireless modem for your computer, it just doesn't have that "base station" capability, though it'd be pretty cool if it did.

Dave,
Is it possible for you to charge the PSP by hooking it up to a computer.
Thanks!

Thanks for answering Dave.Hope that Sony would make a firmware with that feature(very rare that they will develop that feature!).BTW,if haven't answer my windows question dont answer it,already fixed it,for future reference two words System Restore in System in Performence and Mantaince in Control Panel P.S Dont worry,I'll shut up for a week or two.

Hi dave, im asking you this question because evry time i download daedalus r9 and i go to it on my psp it says "corrupted data."i have no idea why it says that but i really need help because i have wanted to play homebrew games on my psp for a while.

Please answer!

Yes,i know,i only lasted 2 days but,while searching the net i founded some"How to downgrade your TA-082 PSP" (A.K.A:The Bricker)guides, one of the pages is www.psphacks.com,also saw like 5 post saying"It worked,i downgraded my TA-082,it really works!"and so on.So,safedowngrade,or... a BRICKER? Please answer soon. P.S Im thinking of downgrading my PSP.

Dave,

The UMD latch on my Psp doesn't do anything. When I slide it the door doesn't open the only way i can switch my game is if i move the latch open with a tiny screwdriver.My waranty is over and i don't feel like paying 90 bucks to sony. What do i do?????????

where i have to save games, movies, music or picture in my PSP? i can read English not well so i didn't understand what i have to do for save or load everything in my PSP. Please explan how to use it for me , thank you.

Park,you save music,pictures and games in your memory stick.To save music and pictures you need a usb cable,connect it to the computer and you to save pictures you have to make folders,first make a folder called PSP then in that folder make other folders for music name it Music and save your music there.your welcome
