Today, Mytour will guide you on how to transfer downloaded games from your computer to your PSP, allowing you to launch and play them just like any other PSP game. Your PSP must have custom firmware installed to recognize and run the downloaded games.
Steps
Add Games to PSP
Windows
Turn on the PSP. Press the power button to start the device.
Ensure your PSP can run downloaded games. The PSP must be updated and have custom firmware installed to allow the transfer and play of downloaded games.
- If the PSP doesn't have custom firmware, you'll need to install it first. This is essential for running downloaded games.
- Also, make sure to download the game you want to transfer to your PSP.
Connect the PSP to your computer. Plug the USB end of the PSP's charging cable into your computer, then connect the charger to the gaming device.
Navigate to the folder containing the game's ISO file. If you downloaded a video game to transfer to your PSP, the ISO file will be located in the game's folder.
- Some games use CSO files instead of ISO. In this case, look for the CSO file.
- Typically, you can find the ISO file (or game folder) on the left side of the window.
Click on the ISO file to select it.
Click on the Home tab. This tab is located in the top-left corner of the File Explorer window.
Click on the option. This option is located on the left side of the Home toolbar at the top of the window. The ISO file will now be selected.
Click on the PSP's name. The device name will appear in the left-hand directory bar, but you may need to scroll down to find it.
- If you can't locate the device name, click on the "This PC" folder, then double-click on the PSP's name listed under the "Devices and drives" section.
Ensure the PSP has an ISO folder. Look for a folder named "ISO" in all caps (not "iso") within the PSP's directory. If this folder doesn't exist, you'll need to create it before proceeding:
- Click on the Home tab.
- Select New Folder.
- Type ISO in uppercase (not iso) and press ↵ Enter.
Open the "ISO" folder. Double-click on the folder to access it.
Click on the Home tab again. The Home toolbar will reappear at the top of the File Explorer window.
Click on the Paste option, located directly to the right of the option in the toolbar. The ISO file you copied earlier will be pasted into the PSP's "ISO" folder.
- This process may take a few minutes.
Safely eject and disconnect the PSP from your computer. Once the ISO file has been successfully transferred to the PSP, click on the flash drive icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen (you may need to click the ^ symbol first) and select Eject. Afterward, you can safely unplug the PSP cable from your computer.
