Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) Top Questions and AnswersHere are some of the most common questions that are submitted to Ask Dave Taylor about the Sony PSP, in no particular order: • Can I download games if my PSP is running firmware version 2.5? • Can I back up to an earlier version of the PSP firmware? • How do I download games like Pac-Man onto my PSP? • Where can I find free games / music / videos / movies for my PSP? • I downloaded MP3 files onto my PSP, but now I can't find them? • How do I convert normal music to MP3 format for my PSP? • How can I have my Sony PSP talk with my Windows 98 PC? That's a lot of questions, so let's field them one-by-one, and at the end I'll also offer links to specific articles I've previous written on Ask Dave Taylor that are helpful for Sony PSP owners: Can I download games if my PSP is running firmware version 2.5? One of the greatest differences behind the scenes with the PSP firmware upgrade from 1.5 to 2.0 was that Sony added various checks in the code that apparently prohibit the unit from playing hacked or downloaded games. So as far as I can ascertain, no, you cannot run games you download onto your PSP if you're running any version of the firmware greater than 1.5. Can I back up to an earlier version of the PSP firmware? This is a logical follow-on question and the answer is "maybe". Sony doesn't offer any sort of official place where you can download earlier versions of the firmware or utilities that let you roll back to earlier firmware versions. On the other hand, various fan sites like psp-hacks.com have firmware download utilities like one that lets you back up from 2.0 to 1.5, but be careful: that won't work if you're running firmware 2.01 or 2.5. Further, there's a big risk in running software that modifies your PSP operating system but isn't from Sony: how do you know what it's really doing? What would you do if it broke your system? Or, what if it were a virus in disguise? How do I download games like Pac-Man onto my PSP? There are Web sites that offer illegal, hacked games that you can ostensibly download onto your PSP instead of paying for them, but, um, they're illegal and, as with unauthorized firmware downgrades, you really don't know what you're getting. Further, if you're running firmware 2.0 or higher, you probably won't be able to play the games anyway. Having said that, if Sony were a really cool company, they'd encourage programmers to write new and interesting games that would run on the PSP, but not be part of the Sony approval and distribution system. There are lots of smaller, simpler games or ports of Open Source games, etc,. that would be cool to have on the PSP, but that'll never happen if every single game has to be formally tested and approved by Sony Corporate. Probably a pipe dream, alas. Where can I find free games / music / videos / movies for my PSP? My one word answer: Google. Seriously, I'm not going to point you directly to these illegal download sites, but if you do want to try and find some of this material that you can drop onto your PSP, then I suggest you spend some time digging around on your favorite search engine. Good luck to you! I downloaded MP3 files onto my PSP, but now I can't find them? This is potentially the single most common question I see here at Ask Dave Taylor in the Sony PSP help category, and the answer is that the songs are probably sitting on your PSP, ready to play, but they don't show up in the MUSIC folder! They're in a subfolder: you need to find the entry in your MUSIC folder called "Memory Stick", then move into it by pressing the "X" button. Then all your songs magically appear. This also holds true with photos you download too, by the way. They don't show up in your PHOTOS folder, they show up in the subfolder "Memory Stick". How do I convert normal music to MP3 format for my PSP? There's no simple way, but there are a number of different music format conversion utilities available from archive sites like Download.com. I suggest that you search for "MP3 converter" and you'll see there are quite a few choices. The Sony PSP can only play MP3 or AAC format audio files, so if your music or audio is in any other format, you'll need to convert it before the PSP will be able to play them. How can I have my Sony PSP talk with my Windows 98 PC? It's amazing to me that people are still running Win98, but this is another common question I see, and the sad answer is that there's no built-in support for removable devices like the Sony PSP in Windows 98. Fortunately, there is a shareware alternative that a chap in Poland has written and makes available off his Web site: PSP Win98 Driver. Caveat: I haven't tested this driver out, so I'm not sure that it works properly. Proceed with caution, and if someone does get it to work for them (or not!) please do let us know about it!

Posted by: rocco at December 10, 2005 6:03 PMRocco, 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... Posted by: Dave Taylor at December 12, 2005 5:58 AMI don't get why music I download to my PSP can't be found on my PSP Posted by: Phillip Miles at December 15, 2005 3:57 PMJust 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? Posted by: Dick Glover at December 18, 2005 2:20 AMI 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 Posted by: jaz at December 30, 2005 6:37 PMThere'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. Posted by: Dave Taylor at January 1, 2006 11:20 AMI downloaded the downgrader but i dont know how to start it. Posted by: josh at January 3, 2006 4:52 PMI keep putting the game i want under PSP/GAME and nothing pops up on the psp and when i put it under 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? Posted by: Dave Taylor at January 3, 2006 5:08 PMumm this is outdated you CAN run homebrew on 2.0 now dude, might wanna do a quick update ;-) Posted by: Mike at January 3, 2006 8:31 PMSony'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".

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. Posted by: Jaime at February 7, 2007 6:11 PMDennis, 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: http://www.askdavetaylor.com/about_psp_repair.html Hope that helps you out! Posted by: Dave Taylor at February 7, 2007 8:50 PMso dave, if i join a psp site and download games onto my psp. what requirements do i need to play them? thanks Posted by: Jarrad at February 7, 2007 11:48 PMThanks 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 Posted by: Jaime at February 8, 2007 11:54 AMJarrad, 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.

Posted by: Jaime at March 10, 2007 12:35 PMJyro, 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. Posted by: Dave Taylor at March 10, 2007 8:12 PMDave, 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. Posted by: Jaime at March 18, 2007 6:36 AMHi 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.

Posted by: kyle t at March 19, 2007 6:08 PMYes,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. Posted by: jaime at March 20, 2007 3:49 PMDave, The UMD latch on my Psp doesn't do anything.
