How to Hack PSP has been a dark art pushed aside by the official warranty claims and company support. Yet learning how to hack PSP is easy, and you need to only carefully follow a few guidelines. The special apparatus needed can be easily made at home, or can be bought readymade from Amazon or Ebay. A modified PSP will open up your access to a whole plethora of newer functionalities that would add tremendously to your gaming and multimedia experience.
Hacking a PSP refers to having a custom firmware installed in your PSP. A company packaged PSP comes with its own firmware that allows it to run applications like games, music and movies on the screen. However, with many technophiles dotting the Internet, there is an entirely new range of PSP firmware developed. These firmwares go the extra mile in providing you with added functionalities like browser, better connectivity with other PSPs and your PC, and modifications while running games and MP3. For example, some PSP hacks can allow you to run MP3 while playing the game, an obvious function missing from the company made firmware. A custom firmware, much like its company counterpart, is regularly updated, scanned for bugs, and given new functionalities. There is one thorn to it however: to get a custom firmware run on your PSP, you will have to do a hardware-cum-software procedure to your PSP. That voids warranty and may even damage the PSP. Therefore, make sure you carry out the procedures under expert guidelines or else may risk breaking your PSP.
You will need a bigger memory card because the one that comes with the package cannot accommodate the program. You can download the hack program on your PC from the Internet at different hack specialist websites frequented by technophiles. This software basically modifies your extra large memory card and makes it capable of running functions other than those specified by the company. The download is a bit slow and you will have to be patient with the procedure.
You will need to unscrew your PSP battery and to disconnect on of the pin that connects the battery to the PSP. You can either purchase a new battery, or one already modified from Ebay, or modify the one that comes with the package.
Before you connected the modified battery, have your PSP with the new memory card connected to your PSP. Now you can run the hack program that you downloaded and installed. Just toggle through the options the program shows: they are very self explanatory. In the menu option select the option four for Universal Unbricker. That would install the necessary files on your PSP memory stick.
Disconnect the PSP, and plug in the modified battery. The rest of the installation proceeds from your PSP screen. Perform the NAND backup, and then choose to install 3.71 M33-2 on the PSP.
There you are done. Once you have done these few simple steps, getting to know how to hack PSP is as easy as that.

A PSP gaming console is not much different from other gaming machines in allowing PSP game cheats . If you are having a tough time getting across a hard to kill enemy, or are locked up with a deadly race with the game, a PSP game cheat may just tip the conditions in your favor. Game cheats were always a guarded secret for the PC gamers, with console players always lagging behind in the cheat code search. This is mainly because many of the consoles require cheat cartridges for putting in cheats. However, a PSP does it all when it comes to cheats in a very similar fashion to PC games.
Cheats can help you get over tough enemies, win races, get more ammunition, have more lives, or just about anything you need to win the game. Cheats are popular both among pro gamers and beginners for different reasons: for the pro they take the game to the next level once they have crossed most of the stages and beaten the game. Beginners find the cheats handy when they are unable to otherwise get across tough enemies or have inadequate lives or ammunition. Cheats are deliberately rolled into games by the developers to make the game more enjoyable for everyone –even those who are badly stuck up with one level.
The best cheats are those that alter the gaming experience without making the game boring or a bit too easy. In fact some of the cheats will make the game even harder, by making the enemies stronger, or giving them a longer life. While looking for cheats, you will only like to try those that make you enjoy your game more.
The most powerful cheats are those that land you in the ‘God mode’, giving you unlimited ammunition, lives and powers over your enemies. Other cheats make you stronger, taller, jump higher, or give you some new quality that gives you an edge over the game. For pro gamers, not all cheats lead to a simpler game. Some cheats are designed to make the game tougher to play, like by giving the enemies more lives, or making them harder to kill. Only a pro can take up such a challenge –someone who has gone through, and beaten the game otherwise, but cannot still quit for the love of the game.
PSP game cheats litter the many PSP sites over the Internet. If you are a geek you can explore making your own cheats, and even uploading it over the Internet to share with others. For most of us however, getting it readymade is a better option. There are many websites which can be best rated between ‘average’ and ‘mediocre’, which allow limited selection of games and out of date cheats. For the latest cheats of about any game thinkable, log on to All PSP Games. The site offers huge selection of cheats for virtually every game. All you have to do is to search the game by name or category in the website’s database. Allpspgame will give you complete access to the thousands of PSP game cheats for an unlimited period of time. What can be a better deal than that?

I have many PSP lovers as my friends, but believe me, only a few know how to put videos on PSP . Given that it is amazingly easy, it is surprising to see that not many people use the function, not because the gadget is any less powerful, but only because they do not know how to put videos on PSP. Once you get hooked to watching videos on the gadget, getting off the mobile entertainment mode becomes next to impossible.
PSP is one gadget that allows you to delve in almost any form of electronic entertainment ever thought of. From music to games, movies and beyond -all sandwiched into one sleek, stylish gadget. Being able to watch videos on PSP is a full-size addition to its already all-round capabilities. A PSP allows you to enjoy your favorite movie anywhere -on a bus ride, during a boring class lecture, vacation trip, or even sunken deep into your sofa. With a superior audio quality and an unmatched video playback on its wide and bright LCD screen, PSP movie experience is nothing short of mobile excellence. One of the many reasons you should watch movies on your PSP, and getting to know how to put videos on PSP in the first place is as basic as ABC is to reading!
Great video titles, both from current hits and all time favorite fill the online PSP video stores. You can navigate through the huge collection of movies tailored to suit your taste. With easy and sensible categorization, you can reach your favorite movie on the Internet before you get to hear about it from your movie buff friends. A PSP can surely make you par with your peers when it comes to reviewing the coolest movies. Do you really have the time to be stuck up in handcuffs with TV screen for a full two hour period to watch the whole movie? Movies on a PSP can help you kill your boredom, while not your precious time.
So here is what you need to do; read this simple four step guide into how to watch the coolest movies right from your PSP. You will need to buy some extra memory for sure, if you are still stuck with the default version of the gadget. A 512 MB that a PSP emerges with from its pack is a bare minimum to keep you afloat through the tons of gaming commands stored in the gadget’s memory. A decent upgrade to watch movies would be from 1 to 2 GB. Extra memory can come by way of Memory Stick, which can conveniently be slotted into your gizmo.
Once you have connected your custom, high memory PSP to your computer, switch it on and go to its settings menu. Press X at the menu to connect it to your PC. The PSP will blink on your PC soon after as an extra memory folder.
Click on the PSP memory card and open up the PSP folder built in it.
Make a separate folder into it, and name it ‘MP_ROOT’.
Now open up the newly created folder and make another one in it. Name it 100mnv01. This is the place where you will have to load all the movie files. You can enjoy the playbacks right from your PSP.
So what are you waiting for? You know how to put videos on PSP, and devouring them is never a problem; get started now!

Thanks to a complete support on PSP to run custom content, PSP owners have been vigilantly hunting all online avenues for free PSP download . PSP is unique in its capability to allow users to run third party created content, downloaded directly over the Internet, and this can be anything from cheap to completely free PSP download. This is one gadget that can take in movies, music, games and more directly from the PC, and run it from its own memory after the transfer is complete. The other source of content for PSP is the UMD, a propriety standard of data storage developed by the SONY Corporation. Though called a ‘Universal’ Media Disc, it is only being used for PSP games.
PSP downloadable content can be found extensively over several huge content sites. Games of virtually every category, movies from every director, and music from all parts of the globe can be found on these databases. Though games and movies have separate protocol for PSP, the gadget can run the same MP3 files for music that we are so used to.
If you start a search for free PSP download , chances are you will get lost among maze of different websites in no more than fifteen minutes. Most of the content requires you to pay at some point, even those that proclaim a ‘free’ service. The content on such websites is for free, but to avail it, you need to pay a monthly fee. So after a round about search trip, you are back to where you started. Free PSP download is tough to find.
You can get some very good movie clips as well as a few full movies over the web for free. Getting free PSP movie downloads is much easier is getting to download free games. Often the Free PSP game download websites are replete with glossy banner ads and plenty of pop ups. Beware of downloading even free games from such websites. The downloads come bundled with an armada of adware and spyware that will denude your PC of its privacy. Also these downloads have pathetic speeds. Often your PC will sit idle downloading your PSP game for the next three days. That is only for one game.
An easy way to find the best of the free game online is to try free BitTorrent software. BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer sharing protocol that allows users to both upload to, and download from a single online sharing platform. On a BitTorrent populated with PSP games, you will find many of your favorite games already uploaded by many other users. You can easily download such games, movies and music for free, and transfer them to your PSP.
One form of downloadable PSP content very close to free is one having a one-time registration fees. These websites offer unlimited downloads for a lifetime against a fix start up fees. So once you have paid the $30 upfront, rest assured that all downloads –movies, music and games, are for free. That is the only viable form of free PSP download that comes with reliability, security and a high download speed.

So you’ve heard about PSP Blender and want to find out if it’s one of those worthless PSP membership sites out there. That’s Ok. With the number of PSP download sites increasing by the day, and with many making promises like unlimited downloads and fulfilling none, it is good to find out if PSP Blender is just one of them. In this article, I will guide you through the features of PSP Blender so you can make an informed decision as to whether it is worthless or not.
Like most PSP membership sites, PSP Blender offers unlimited downloads of PSP games, movies, music, wallpapers and more. But one major different between PSP Blender and other PSP download sites is the one-time payment that they offer. Of course, most PSP membership sites promise you free downloads once you become a member of their site. But here are the four problems I’ve had with most of them:
1 . They offer nothing close to unlimited downloads. Except what they call unlimited download is downloading the same very few games over and over again. This, in every sense, is not unlimited download. With unlimited download you should be able to download almost all PSP games, movies, music and wallpapers that you need.
2 . Their promise of free download once the one-time payment is made is false. After paying the one-time payment, many of them will still charge you per download of games. This is complete rubbish, if you ask me. If they can be dishonest with something regarding payment, I bet you they can be dishonest about anything.
3 . If you’re OK with downloading PSP games at snail speed, then go with the very many PSP membership sites you find online. Yes, most PSP membership sites provide links to downloads that are either broken or very slow. I hate very slow download links and I’m sure you do too.
4 . Games and other files that you download from most PSP membership sites come with viruses and spyware. And if your PC has ever been infected with viruses or spyware in the past, you surely know that deadly this can be. This can put your PC and your PSP at the risk of crashing.
So there you go - the four reasons why I’ve dumped other PSP membership sites and stock with PSP Blender . Of course, joining PSP Blender comes with many more benefits.
The PSP console is an amazing entertainment gadget with which you can play games, movies and music of different format. However, one problem many PSP owners have is transferring music to their PSP console and successfully playing it. They either cannot transfer from their PC to the PSP or they successfully transfer but cannot play the music files. But that shouldn’t be a problem because converting audio CD’s to mp3 and then transferring to your PSP is actually very easy. In this article, I will show you how to do just this in six easy steps.
Before you begin, please be aware that one of the most universally accepted music format is the MP3. It can play well on any gadget and on any platform - Windows, Mac, Linux/Unix and even on your PSP. So it is the preferred format to use.
With that in mind, let’s get started with ripping your audio CD to mp3 format using Windows Media Player (available on any Windows OS).
1 . Insert your audio CD into the CD-Rom and launch Windows Media Player.
2 . On the Menu, click on Tools. Then scroll down and click on Options.
3 . On the Rip Music tab, note the location where the MP3 files will be stored on your PC. You can change this by clicking on the Change button under "Rip music to this location" section. Then select MP3 in the drop-down menu under "Rip Settings". You might need to drag the slider (under Audio quality) to the right a bit to get a better audio quality. Once you’ve done that, click OK.
Now you’re ready to rip your audio CD to MP3. Next step…
4 . To start ripping, click on “Rip” at the top of the main Windows Media Player window. Bingo! You will have for yourself your audio CD ripped to MP3.
You can verify that the CD ripped properly by going over to the location you specified in Step 3 above. Simply double-click on any of the MP3 files and it should start playing in your preferred MP3 player.
Now you’re ready to copy the MP3 files to your PSP. Next step…
5 . Turn off your PSP. Then using a USB cable, connect your PSP to your PC. Once connected, turn on your PSP again and put it in “USB Connect” mode. (In this mode, you will be able to transfer files from your PC to your PSP and vice versa.) Your PC should detect a new storage device and assign it a drive letter. If the drive does not open automatically, go to My Computer and double-click on the drive to open it.
6 . Now navigate to a folder called Music. This is where you would drag and drop your MP3 files. Once you’ve done that, you’re ready to play MP3’s on your PSP.
So there you go! Pretty easy steps to get to play MP3 files on your PSP. If you have any problem with the steps above or you have followed them but still can’t play MP3’s, just drop a comment below and let’s get to fix it. Alternatively, you can head over to All PSPgames where you can download unlimited MP3’s for your PSP. For a small one-time fee, this is a steal. So the choice is yours - you can either convert your audio CD’s to MP3’s or just simply download them from All PSPgames .

You simply download the MP3 files, transfer them to your PSP and start playing them right away. But how do you transfer the music files? Let’s find that out.
To begin transferring the music files, turn off your PSP and connect it to you PC using a USB cable. Then start up your PSP again in "USB Connect" mode. This mode will allow your PC to see your PSP as an external storage device and it will assign it a drive letter. Double-click to open up the PSP drive (the newly assign drive letter). Once opened, find the Music folder, then copy and paste the music files from your PC to the Music folder on your PSP. Bingo! You can now play these music files on your PSP!
It’s that simple. From downloading the music files from a PSP membership site like All PSPgames to transferring the files to your PSP can take as little as 5 minutes or less. So why not go ahead and download some music for your PSP? If you’re not playing your favorite music on your PSP, then you’re missing out on a good deal of fun.
