Imprint the firmware. Once you’ve installed the homebrew firmware, you’ll need to either permanently imprint it or know how to restore it so you can use it to play homebrew games.

Press X once it runs to make your firmware update permanent. For 3000-series and GO-series models, security countermeasures prevent you from permanently imprinting the firmware.

In the case of smaller releases, you’re probably also hurting the bottom line of the game’s developer and/or publisher. Think twice before pirating unusual or original games if you wish developers would release more of them.
Torrent game files. You can learn how to torrent elsewhere on this site, but in brief, you’ll need a program for running torrents, a torrent file of the game you want, and some time to let the program collect a copy of the game from other users. You shouldn’t have to pay for the torrent or the program. Use torrent aggregators to search many libraries of torrent files at once. Select the files that have the most positive reviews attached to them, to ensure that you aren’t actually downloading something you don’t want. Download games directly. There are a number of websites on the World Wide Web that offer PSP game downloads for free. Keep clicking through until you find a link to a download (typically offsite at a file hosting service such as uploaded. net or mega. co. nz), and click through to activate it. Generally speaking, the proper file extension for PSP game files is . iso. Make sure that the file you download either is an ISO file, or contains one (in the case of ZIP and RAR archive files). Never run or download any files with the EXE extension.
