PSP Features
By Steve Crooks


Holding a brand new PSP in the palm of your hands is one thing but realising the potential of the Sony PSP is another. What you have in your hands is a games console, an MP3 player, a movie player, an Internet browser, a photo viewer plus a lot lot more. This article looks to highlight some of the best features of the Sony PSP and shows you how best to use those features.

The PSP arrived at the end of last year with the kind of buzz surrounding its launch that I hadn't seen since the launch of the playstation 2. This psp buzz was matched by the eagerness of everybody who wanted the psp and it seemed like an eternity before Sony manufactured enough stock to match the demand for the psp. It soon became apparent that the PSP was a whole lot more than just another games console.

PSP Wallpapers
To make the most of your PSP wallpaper you need to upgrade to version 2 of the firmware. This can be done online and detailed instructions are available in your psp manual. A wonderful feature of the psp is the ability to have an image of your choosing as your psp wallpaper. I chose a slightly blurred image of my son in close up as my psp wallpaper. I was amazed at how good this looked, while the psp wallpaper was slightly blurred it highlighted the text above it and made it clearly readable.

Of course you can choose whatever image you like as your psp wallpaper but the process of setting your psp background wallpaper is to firstly enable the psp wallpaper function under themes. You then go to your photo folder on your psp and choose the image you like and set it as your wallpaper.

PSP Hacks
There are a whole host of new psp hacks being found every day but one of the best psp hacks by far is how to run a multiplayer game when there is only one UMD game disk between all of you. It is so simple and by far the best psp hack I have come across.

Start the game on the first psp in ad hoc multiplayer mode and make sure you have unlimited time as well.

On the first psp, eject the UMD game disk and when the message asks if you want to quit answer with no.

Put the UMD disk in the next psp and start a multiplayer ad hoc game as in step 1.

Repeat the process with all players and enjoy!

I love this psp hack a lot.

PSP Downloads
This is a great feature of the psp, the ability to download utilities, software, games, music, movies onto your psp. PSP download sites are appearing everywhere, some are better than others but the ability to do a psp download is an awesome feature.

PSP Games
Of course the primary function of the psp is games. PSP games come in all genres and the catalogues of psp games is expanding every week. One of the best games for the psp so far is without a doubt FIFA 2006, it is a great game but as always it is a matter of preference. There are PSP games for everyone.

This demonstrates just a few of the amazing things the Sony PSP has given us so far. It is still very early days for this awesome product but as new psp games are developed and psp hacks are unearthed along with some amazing downloads for the psp, the future looks very bright for the Sony psp.

Three Facts On How You Can Find And Use A PSP Downloadable Game
by Allen Stevens


The PSP is a great gaming device, that can allow you to download and play games, music, movies, and so much more. However if you are a new owner of a PSP console, searching and finding new games for you to use on your games console, can be confusing.

Well, here are three facts about finding a PSP downloadable game. Read them before you do anything else!

FACT ONE: FIRMWARE

Before you can begin searching for and downloading you favorite PSP games, you need to first check your PSP to find out what version of firmware it currently has. Essentially, firmware is the operating system that runs your PSP.

Right now, the only PSP firmware versions that you can download a game onto are versions 1.0 and 1.50. This is because, in order for you to download a PSP game, you need to be able to run an emulator on your PSP (currently the firmware versions of 1.51 and 1.52, won't allow you to run an emulator on your PSP).

You can quickly check the firmware version on your PSP console, simply by scrolling left on the PSP's main screen and selecting the SETTINGS button. You then scroll down to SYSTEMS SETTINGS and select it. Then scroll down to and select SYSTEM INFORMATION. Now under, SYSTEM SOFTWARE, it will have your PSP's firmware version number.

FACT TWO: EMULATORS

You need to find and download software onto your PSP that will allow you to transfer games onto it. This software is commonly referred to as an emulator or 'homebrews'.

Now there are certain legal issues surrounding emulators, that should be cleared up here.

An emulator is simply piece of software that causes your PSP to act as though it were a different games console machine. Currently there are many emulators available for the PSP, such as a Super Nintendo emulator, Game Boy emulator, Sega Genesis emulator, etc.

These emulators will allow you to play respective games on your PSP. Although downloading and installing an emulator isn't illegal, the games you use on your emulator may be. There are many online PSP download websites that are illegally sharing games. You need to be vigilant against these types of unscrupulous websites.

FACT THREE: FINDING LEGAL GAMES

Essentially, when trying to find games for their PSP, most people will search for and use an online legal PSP downloads website. You could go to smaller independent websites, but they tend to have illegal copies of games on offer.

The main question you need to ask yourself before downloading a PSP game from any website is what kind of customer service do they offer?

Nearly all of the illegal or fly-by-night PSP downloading services, will have next to no customer service. So a website that offers full customer support will be able to fully answer your queries about the downloads they have on offer through their website.
