How to Play Downloaded PSP Games by Unlocking Your PSP

The Sony PSP is an awesome gaming console. Almost everybody who enjoys playing video games has a PSP. The one problem is that the cost of purchasing new games really starts to add up over time. Because of this, a lot of people are looking for ways to learn how to play downloaded PSP games. If you're one of these people, keep reading as I'll tell you just how to do it.

The first step obviously is to get the downloaded games that you want to play on your console. There are many sites out there that will allow you to download games but you need to be careful with which ones you choose.

A lot of sites will say you can download games for free from them, but you will really only be downloading a virus to your computer. I've had it happen to me before and it's not fun at all. My advice is to look for a membership type of site that charges you a one-time fee and gives you unlimited downloads. The sites that charge you this small fee are always more legit since they are an actual business and not some scammy website trying to get viruses onto your computer.

The price is usually very small and definitely worth it since you will never have to buy a game from the store again once you know how to play downloaded PSP games. The site that I use costed me under $40 and I'm a member there for life.

So now that you know where to get your games from, it's time to teach you exactly how to play downloaded PSP games once you have them.

Just like with any console, the manufacturers put a block on the system that doesn't allow it to read any games other than the official ones that you buy from the store. What you need to do is unlock your PSP so that it can read the downloaded games that you will be putting onto your system.

In the past, the only way to unlock a gaming console was to install a mod chip. This is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing because it not only voids the warranty, but you could also really mess the system up so it turns into a useless piece of plastic.

Recently though, there have been software and applications developed that allow you to unlock your PSP without even taking it apart. You just need to know where to get these applications and then put them onto a memory stick and install it on your PSP. Once everything is installed, your PSP is unlocked and you've now figured out how to play downloaded PSP games.

The site that I use and recommend to get the applications to unlock your PSP is called Playbrew Station. Along with showing you how to play downloaded PSP games, Playbrew Station has many more features as well that you will enjoy. Some of this includes downloading and playing homebrew applications, imported games, and games from other systems such as Sega Genesis, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and more.
