subject: PSP Games - Download Latest PSP Games [print this page] PSP has been on the market in a few years now and is a good portable game console. You can download games to your PSP but sometimes can be difficult to find games to download on your PSP.
Here are some points to consider when you download games to PSP
PSP Firmware
PSP firmware is like the PSP operating system. It controls all software and hardware features of the PSP. Each batch of the PSP firmware is different. Only earlier firmware versions can play downloaded games on PSP. These are the PSP firmware version 1.00 and 1.50.
To check your PSP firmware version, go to the System Settings menu and select it. Then select system information and select the software option scheme. It says the firmware version for your PSP.
Plays movies and mp3 are good, just down the game. There are no emulators or PSP hack that can overcome this limitation since all new PSP comes in today, firmware 2.00 and above. However, it is not safe and can actually damage the firmware on your PSP.
PSP Emulators
There are a lot of PSP software emulators online which allow you to play old console games. Examples are the Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Game Boy Advance and Sega Genesis.
There are some arguments on the legality of such emulators now, but if you distribute or sell such emulators, there should be something to worry about.
There are some games that are "homebrew". That means PSP games created by amateurs for fun or who want to study how games are played on the PSP. These are fairly rudimentary and simple and if you like games like Pong or intruder, you might want to give it a miss.
There are quite a few PSP games download sites on the Internet. Some are legal and some not. Be careful when you download games from these sites you may violate copyright laws.
There are some who are legal PSP games download sites. Most require a fee once membership that allows you to download unlimited PSP games.
I strongly recommend if you are interested in such places to use these legal sites because they are safer and tend to give better support and download speeds. They have many download games for PSP and movies, mp3, too.
