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

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.
