How To Download PSP Games And Transfer Them From PC Onto PSP In 6 Easy Steps

Download PSP Games Onto Your PSP In 6 Easy Steps

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.

Supercard for Nintendo DS and GBA How to Use And Where To Get One

The Nintendo DS (sometimes abbreviated to DS or NDS) is a dual-screen handheld game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo. It was released in 2004 in Canada, the United States, and Japan. The console features a clamshell design, similar to the Game Boy Advance SP, with two LCD screens inside - with the bottom one being a touchscreen. The Nintendo DS also features a built-in microphone and supports wireless IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) standards, allowing players to interact with each other within short range (10-30 m, depending on conditions) or online with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, which launched later in the console's lifespan. 



What is a supercard ?
Basically, it's a device that plugs into the external port and allows a person to access content from an SD micro-card and, in some cases a CF card. Since you can load one of these flash cards (the same type found in cameras, phones, etc.) with just about anything from a computer this opens the door to all sorts of potential applications for your DS. This could be music, pictures or a bunch of nintendo games.

At this moment there are several different supercard products available, for both the Nintendo DS , lite (NDS) and Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP (GBA).
Now how do you know which one is right for you, at our review site we will show you in detail, where to get this supercard, which one and how to use the software.

Now this opens up endless possibilities does it not ?

First of all we need to know this: "What version NDS do you have?”
This is necessary to know so that you purchase the right equipment for your NDS.
Simply, do the following :
Check the manufacturing date of your DS. Most likely, if you have a DS that is purchased in the summer of 2005 to present, you'll require the "2nd gen" version of a particular device. If it's before that, then you'll need the "1st gen" version of the device.

What is NDS homebrew ?
Anything made homebrew for the NDS will require "authentication" by the NDS. It's similar to trying to play some custom made application or games in your XBOX and realizing it won't work without a modchip. Anything not made or authenticated by the manfucturer will normally require "authentication". This is where all these media carts and PASS ME devices come into play.

What is a PASS ME device and why are there so many of them ?
A passme device is a device that has certain programmed code on it that will allow it to authenticate NDS homebrew. These carts have a variety of names, normally based on their manufacturers... i.e. EZ PASS (ezflash company), SUPER PASS (super card company), PASSCARD (m3 company), etc. All in all, they all do the same thing in the long run, authenticate NDS homebrew. Well, this is where it counts. Older (1st gen) DS will require the 1st gen of the PASSME devices. Each company has a 1st gen pass me device. If you have a 2nd gen NDS or an NDS lite, you will require the 2nd or 3rd gen PASSME device from the appropriate company. How they do it and how advanced they are, varies.
These devices are merely authenticators.. they don't carry any media on them, that is what the media carts are for.. which leads us to our next question...

What is a media cart and what do they do ?
Media carts, movie players, etc, all various names for essentially the same concept. You'll notice a variety of names. Supercard, M3, G6, DS-X, Movie Players, etc. What these carts/adapters do is plug into your GBA slot of your NDS and allow you to .. via either a flash-memory or insertable flash memory (i.e. SD card, CF card, Micro/Mini SD, etc)... play media (movies, music, games, e-books, pictures). Amazing, isn't it?

What do they do? Like I've said, they play media off your flashrom or your insertable memory. It's a great concept if you think about the wonderful things you can now do with your NDS. You can play your music on it, watch movies, watch pictures, read e-books, and run NDS homebrew (if you have your PASS ME device, remember?)
