How to Download Music to Sony PSP

By Travis Sago

Have you been pulling your hair out trying to download music to your Sony PSP?

I am going to give you my quick and easy recipe for putting your favorite music on your PSP. There are only a few steps and it is a cinch on you know how.

1. First off you need to get what they call a cd ripper and while you are at it I would definitely grap a psp video converter. A cd ripper lets you pull music (rip) of your cd's that you have now. The psp video converter will let you rip and convert video files to watch on your PSP...so you can watch and listen to music videos and music, cool heh!

2. Load your cd and fire up your cd ripper select the song or songs you want to put on your PSP and hit the "extract and encode" to PSP.

3. If you already have music files on your pc then all you need to do is hit "add" from your cd ripper or psp video converter.

4. Make sure on all of the above you select the "PSP" format.

5. How to download or transfer your music to PSP? Just connect your PSP with your PC with the USB cable, and copy your mp3 file(s) into "H:\PSP\MUSIC" where H: would equal the drive of your PSP.

That's it. It is real simple to put music on your PSP!

How To Download Games To PSP

By: Joseph Tierney

Downloading games to your PSP is something that you need to keep up to date on. What good is the PSP without cool movies and games? It is this kind of media that make it such a worthwhile companion!

There are hundreds of games that you can download onto your PSP and they are all fun. Of course some will be more interesting to you than others. You may be more interested in the sports games rather than the character ones. No matter what you like the most in your games, there are plenty to download onto any PSP.

Making use of wireless hotspots is another way for you to play online with this gaming system. You can use the Infrastructure/Online mode when you want to play online. This will connect your PSP system to the Internet through a wireless-LAN network or hotspots. This is not always possible however, so keep that in mind.

You may also be able to share some of the games that you have through game sharing. This too is a great way to get as many games on the go as you can. Not all games will allow you to work with the "Game Sharing" feature. If you are able to do this then it can be done wirelessly and there is no need for the other person to own the title as well. This is only a temporary option. When the PSP is turned off the data will be lost. This feature is best suited to those who like to play games with their friends or those that want to give their buddies a taste of what a game is really like before they purchase it themselves.

If you have a PSP but you haven't yet used it to play games then you are really missing out. Using this little machine to watch movies is awesome and amazing yes, but the games are really what set PSP apart from everything else out there on the market. With a few hot games in your pocket you can really make the most out of any situation.

Remember those long lines at the bank? How about when your car breaks down and you are waiting for a friend to come and pick you up? Those are the times you will really appreciate having your own PSP to play games on.

No matter how old or young you are, you can have a ball with the PSP games that you download. And the best part is that downloading games for a PSP system is as easy as can be. The games that you download onto your PSP are just like the UMD versions and you will have the same excellent quality. Many people worry that the graphics will not be as good or that the game will play slower but that is not the case at all.

All you have to do is download the games right onto your memory stick and off you go. From the stick you can play any of the games that have been downloaded. There are hundreds and even thousands to choose from and they are all fantastic!

There are some pretty comprehensive websites out there that are wholly dedicated to providing PSP owners like you with the latest in PSP games to download. Some of these have monthly membership rates for you to pay and others will charge per game. It is a good idea to take a look around at them all and see which best suits you.

Today is the day to start downloading games to your PSP. This is an incredible little machine and it can keep hours and hours of boredom at bay.

In this article, it will tell why you should downgrade your Sony PSP and what you will get from this old firmware.

Enjoy. See you.

By: Joseph Tierney

You know the first thing that I did was get the upgrade for my PSP when I could. I mean, really, who doesn't want to have the latest and the best upgrade on their gear right? Well, unfortunately getting the upgrade is not such a hot idea after all. As I found out all to quickly it might be just the thing to ruin your PSP.

When I got my PSP upgraded I found that I could no longer play all of the old games that I loved so much. It turned out that the PSP would no longer play then anymore which caused me all kinds of heartache. The same was true about the movies that I loved so much, it was terrible!

What you need to do is what I should have done, read about upgrading and what it will do to your collection. And if you are one of the many people, (I know you are out there! I can't be the only one) like me, who got the upgrade without finding out the details first, then you may want to look into PSP downgrading. I don't know what I would have done if I couldn't downgrade! I would have lost all of my old PSP material and programs and it would have been terrible. I was lucky that I found out about downgrading when I did, that is for sure.

I am not trying to say that all upgrades are bad, it is all a matter of personal preference really. You may not care about the older things that you have, you may be much more interested in the newer versions and newer movies and games, it is all up to you. It is just nice to know that there is an option like PSP downgrading so those of us who are not yet ready to throw in the towel on our old mode of PSP play.

There are some easy ways for you to go about PSP downgrading. In just a few simple steps you can have your PSP back to its normal working condition and ready for any of your favorite games or movies. I have known people who actually threw their PSP away because they could not figure out how to get it working again, never fear though, this is not necessary. Now you can learn about PSP downgrading online and you can get it done whenever you need to.

So if you have put your PSP away with no hope of salvaging it go and fine it now and start looking into PSP downgrading. It saved me and my little buddy and it will do the same for you. Think of your PSP as delicate flower that needs to be taken care of and maintained. Just kidding!

All you have to do to keep your PSP in functioning order is to be careful and wary of upgrading and make sure that you know just how to go about PSP downgrading. If you know how to fix problems if they occur it will not be so scary when you try to make a change. Sounds simple right? That is because it is. So get online and do your homework now and learn all there is to know about how easy PSP downgrading really is. You will be glad that you did.

How to Downgrade Sony PSP firmware from 2.00 to 1.50

By: Sony PSP Fan

Hi,

Today, I will give you step-by-step to downgrade your Sony PSP firmware from 2.00 to 1.50. Before starting, you must have 2 files downloaded from internet. They are MPHDowngrader.zip and E_BOOT1.5.zip. (You can see link at the end for downloading.)

Let's see the step in detail

1. Unzip the files MPHDowngrader.zip and EBOOT_1.50.zip.

2. Connect your PSP to your PC via USB connection.

3. Open up Window Explorer and go to Removable disk which is your Sony PSP

4. When you open Removable disk, you should be at Root directory of your Memory Stick. Then, you copy Index.dat and h.bin to your Sony PSP's root directory.

5. Go to PSP\PHOTO folder (for example G:\PSP\PHOTO\) and copy overflow.tif to your Photo directory.

6. Then, go to PSP\GAME and check whether folder UPDATE exists or not. If folder UPDATE does not exist, you must create this folder under PSP\GAME. Then, you will get G:\PSP\GAME\UPDATE.

7. Copy file EBOOT.PBP into PSP\GAME\UPDATE folder.

8. Let's check again that you have those files in the specified folders.

  • X:/h.bin
  • X:/index.dat
  • X:/PSP/PHOTO/overflow.tif (with no other pictures in there)
  • X:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/EBOOT.PBP (the 1.50 Firmware update eboot)

9. Next, disconnect your USB connection and plug AC adapter to your Sony PSP to make sure that your Sony PSP will have enough power during downgrading firmware.

10. On your Sony PSP, navigate to PSP\PHOTO folder and scroll to overflow.tif. You do NOT have to do anything. Everything will start automatically. Now, you will see strange texts display on your screen. Don't worry, everything is fine. This will take about 30 seconds. Then, restart your Sony PSP. Hold the power button up as long as it takes to fully shut down your Sony PSP, it will take much longer than usual.

11. When your Sony PSP becomes available again, then on PSP menu go to GAME icon and scroll down to memory stick. Select it and you should see the 1.5 update. During updating process, do NOT interrupt it in anyway.

12. The update process should not take very long time to wait. When the process complete, you will see the error at 99% completion. Don't panic, this is normal. Let's restart your Sony PSP again by pressing Power until it completely shutdown.

13. Now, turn your Sony PSP back on. You will see another error. Just press the "O" button and it will restart after rebuilding the system data. Then just set it up as you did when you first got your PSP and you have a brand new firmware 1.5 Sony PSP. Be responsible with it. Once complete, you can remove the downgrader related files from the memorystick.

Above are the complete steps to downgrade Sony PSP firmware from 2.00 to 1.50. Please read and understand the step clearly before making any progress. Enjoy your Sony PSP firmware 1.50.

Sony PSP: The New Wave

By Ted Belfoure

Sony PSP, no this isn't some new form of PCP or LSD or new street drug of choice, though it is a huge favorite among teens and college aged kids on the streets. The Sony PSP stands for Play Station Portable. This is the newest hand held gaming system from Sony for their Play Station franchise. This new gaming system is light years evolved ahead of the Nintendo Gameboys that helped to start the whole craze, and Sony PSPs offer far more options than their "ancient" predecessors.

Sony PSPs are gaining strongly in popularity. Many advertisements on television commercials will even mention a movie coming out on Sony PSP as well as DVD. The ability of this consul and portable gaming system to adapt to multi-functional usage is one of the aspects that makes it so appealing. While there were definitely some early detractors to the new Sony PSP model when it was initially introduced (along with a huge number of gaming fans who swore by the Nintendo DS portable system) Sony PSP console's ascent in popularity has been amazing, and remarkably fast, much like the popularity of Apple's iPod.

With the emergence of the console, Sony PSP games have come into much higher demand. The cheaper alternative to buying games in stores is download them online, and the Sony PSP seems to want to encourage these online sites to make downloading of the games and spreading of the game much easier. There are, in fact, over a dozen web sites set up specifically for downloading games. Most of these sites have a membership fee, ranging from a month to a year. A few of the web sites even have the option of life time memberships for a larger one time fee.

The nice thing for Play Station fans who are looking at a Sony PSP is that the controls have not been radically changed. One thing about Nintendo, for example, was how radically the controls changed from the original Nintendo system to the Super Nintendo system, to the N-64, to the Nintendo Game Cube. Fans of the Sony systems won't have to worry: whatever small changes are made, they are all still based and designed on the original controller that everyone has become familiar with. The Sony PSPs thus have the familiarity of all the previous Sony Play Station features that make them so popular while also adding new benefits and bonuses to the equation, giving the Sony PSPs a great chance at staying in the popular mainstream.
