PSP comes with many preloaded games, but if you want to play recently released games, you need to download them on your memory stick. The memory disk is really a very tiny little thing that can hold a lot of data on your PSP.
When it comes to purchasing and transferring content, consoles tend to be quite overprotective. Sony is no exception to this of course, with all the existing piracy concerns that hackers pose nowadays. Because of that, if you own a Playstation console (be it a PS3, a PS Vita or a PSP), you will notice that the ways in which you can acquire and transfer content between those devices are not only limited, but also a bit cumbersome.
In fact, to do this you are required to download third party software only available on Windows PCs or to rely on the not-too-fast Wi-Fi connection of your PSP.
If you also have a PS3 however, not only are you able to download and install games from it to your portable, but also share some PSone Classics between them.
Let’s see how to perform these.
Step 1: On your PS3’s XMB, go to PlayStation Network and enter the PlayStation Store. Once there, find a PSP game or PSone Classic that you would like to play and download.
Step 2: Once the game is done downloading, head to the Game menu on the XMB and you will find it outside your Games’ folder “wrapped” in a sort bubble. This means that the game has been downloaded but has yet to be installed.
Important Note: PSone Classics can be played on both the PS3 and the PSP. PSP games however, can only be played on the PSP.Installing PSP Games on Your PSP Using Your PS3
As mentioned above, while you can download PSP games on your PS3, you can’t play them there and will have to transfer them to your portable in order to do so. Even so, using your PS3 to download and install PSP games is a great way to save memory space on your portable, which only supports (quite expensive) memory cards for added space.
Step 3: Connect your PSP to your PS3 via a USB cable. Once done, put your PSP into USB mode by going to Settings and selecting USB Connection.
Step 4: Now, on your PS3 head to Game and scroll down until you find the game you downloaded. Select it and and choose Yes when asked if you want to copy it to a PSP system.
Once the copying is done with, you will be able to choose if you want to keep the original file on your PS3. I advise you to do so, that way you can freely delete your game from your PSP if you need more space and copy it back whenever you want.
Step 5: That’s it, your game will now be on your PSP ready for you to play.
Installing PSone and PS2 Classics On Your PS3 or Your PSP
Contrary to PSP games, PSone Classics can not only be downloaded, but can also installed and played on the PS3 and the PSP. The same goes for some PS2 games, although those can only be played on the PS3.
Installing PSone Classics and PS2 games on the PS3 is fairly straightforward. All you have to do is to head to the Game menu on your PS3 and scroll down until you find your PSone Classic “wrapped” in its bubble. Then just press the X button and installation will start immediately. Once done, your game will be ready to be played on your PS3.
To install the same PSone Classic on your PSP, first connect your PSP and put it into USB Mode as explained on Step 3 above, then on your PS3 just head to the uninstalled game, press the Triangle button to reveal its options and select Copy.
There you go! Now you know how to enjoy PSone Classics and more on your PSP and your PS3, all without ever touching a computer.

When you download games on a PSP, you don't have to worry about carrying around hundreds of PSP UMDs (Universal Media Discs). You are only limited by how much data your PSP memory stick can hold. Plus, by learning how to download games on a PSP, you get an opportunity to play innovative homebrew games.
A thriving community of enthusiasts develops applications that can be run on Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP). These games, often referred to as 'homebrew,' can be downloaded free.
Check to see if you have the right firmware. Firmware is the proprietary operating system the PSP requires for functioning. You need Firmware 1.0 or 1.5 to download free games on a PSP. These versions allow you to play PSP homebrews; later versions have protections that avoid use of non-commercial PSP games.
To check your PSP's firmware, press the PSP's 'Home' button. Scroll down and select 'Settings.' From there, select 'System Information.' The firmware information can be found in the section where it says 'System Software.' If this section has the number 1.0 or 1.50, you'll be able to play PSP homebrews. If the number is higher, you won't be able to download free games on a PSP.
Format a PSP memory stick. The size of the memory stick doesn't matter since most PSP homebrews are relatively small. Insert the memory stick into the slot located on the left side of the PSP, where the directional buttons are. Pop open the cover and slide the memory stick in, making sure it's face up and follows the direction of the white arrow.
Press the 'Home' button and go into the 'Settings' section. Scroll down and select 'Systems Settings.' In the next screen, continue scrolling down until you can select 'Format Memory Stick.' The PSP will ask you if you want to format the memory stick. Answer 'Yes,' and the PSP will format the memory stick within just a few seconds.
Download free PSP games onto your computer. Sites like PSP Brew, UR PSP and PSP-Homebrew.eu contain tons of free PSP games. And the downloading process is pretty much the same. You either select an option to download, or you right-click on the file and use 'Save As' for downloading. Visit the sites to gain a better understanding; links are provided at the end of this article.
Unzip the files. Usually, when you download free PSP games, you receive files in a compressed (or zipped), format. This allows a developer to send larger files without the hassle of breaking them up into pieces. However, before you can use these games, you will have to unzip them so you can have access to the individual files.
To unzip files, you need to use an unzipping utility. Windows comes with one, and it's relatively easy to use since you just select options from a Wizard. But if you prefer something more sophisticated, consider using WinZip, for the PC, or Stuffit, for Macs. Both of these programs can be downloaded free, though the legal version of WinZip only offers a 30-day trial. Either way, unzipping is as simple as selecting 'Extract' and entering in the name of the file you want your games in.
Connect your PSP to the computer via a USB cable. Make sure you place the smaller end of the USB cable into your PSP. Place the larger end into any of the USB ports available on your computer.
Switch to USB mode. The PSP cannot communicate with your computer unless it is in USB mode. This is accomplished by pressing the 'Home' button, scrolling towards 'Settings' and then selecting 'USB Connection.'
Transfer the games onto your PSP. This step is the heart of downloading free games onto your PSP, and it is simple. With your PSP connected to your computer, take whatever games you plan on downloading and place them into the PSP > GAME folder. If this folder doesn't appear automatically, you can create one by 'right-clicking' in the PSP directory and then entering in the name 'Game.'
Run the games you downloaded. After you have installed the desired games onto your PSP, disconnect the device from your computer. In the main menu, scroll to the 'Game' section. Select the 'Memory Stick' option. The PSP homebrews you downloaded will be contained here. Highlight one of them and press 'X.' Assuming the homebrew is coded properly and you have the right firmware, it should run just like a commercial PSP game.
Tips
If you don't have the right firmware, your best bet is to buy an older PSP from sites like eBay. Make sure you ask the seller what type of firmware the PSP has, so you don't waste your money.
Sites To Download Psp Games
Warnings
Some sites may allow you to download PSP firmware. Do not do this, as using hacked firmware is illegal, even if you're only using it to play PSP homebrews. And, if the firmware destroys your PSP, any warranties you have will be considered null and void. There is legal controversy over whether or not it's okay to play commercial PSP games without their original disks. In many jurisdictions, such an action is legal as long as you own the original PSP game.
