PSP ROMS - PlayStation Portable Games
A couple of years ago there was a home made
Portable PlayStation that used PS1 as the base platform. Now the
new Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld gaming console has the processing and graphics that are more like the ones you could see
on PlayStation2. Some technical specs are even better than the
ones PS2 had. Portable PSP unit use UMD discs as the rom
media for games, audio, mpeg4 video and other applications. With the introduction of PSPgo - Sony switched to Download only distribution model for games as the PSPGO model no longer had a USD slot and all games had to be stored in the built-in internal memory or on MemoryStick.

Top PSP Games based on number of Downloads
Can
I Download PSP Roms to PC.
Sony has chosen not to use CD / CD-R or DVD-R
on the new portable handheld device to try to make it impossible
for users to make ps portable game back ups and
illegal copies of the psp roms. But only time will tell if we
will be able to download psp roms or not. Specs suggest that
making an emulator for the PSP will be a great challenge, but
as seen with all the other consoles including PSX and PS2 - nothing
is impossible so we are anxious to see the first real psp emulator!
As suggested earlier it will be impossible to play import games
on the console (without a mod-chip) as it will implement
region blocks and new anti-piracy encoding, but that has never
been a problem for users who are ready to mod their gaming device
and add mod-chips to circumvent all the limits forced by the
big corporations. Having 2 firmwarare versions lets you run isos on v 1.50
and play new UMD games on fw versin 2.71 with al it's advanced features.
So get ready to download playstation portable
roms and psp emulators in the early month of 2005.
PlayStation VITA Game and Memory Cards
With PS Vita SONY chose to introduce 2 new proprietary flash memory cards. A 2GB to 32GB Vita Memory Card somewhat similar to Memory Stick Micro (M2). Vita MC can me used to hold downloaded games, video, music and pretty much everything else you can use on the PSV + there is a slot for PlayStation Vita game card -- flash based memory card made specifically for a particular store bought game. Save Game files in most cases are stored in the game card, but some games require both memory card and game card to be present! And if you buy a large game download from PSN - remember that you will be paying twice: first for the game itself, and the second time for the overpriced proprietary Vita memory card that Sony forces us to use instead of sticking with the Faster and about 2 to 3 times cheaper microSD cards that Sony uses on their new phones and cameras!

Modding the console with a Pandora Battery for PSP
One of the most common PSP Hacks, Mods, Custom Firmware and applications which are used for PSP is the Pandora battery. This hack is based on changing the firmware version of the device in order to let older applications to run. Users would first need to look for an older version of a battery used in old "Fat" PSPs models, those batteries should comply with their PSP firmware. Users would then need to open the battery cover in order to apply some PSP rom mods. When the battery is opened, a part of it would be scratched and then covered. Once the Pandora battery is installed inside the PSP, users would need to download new BIOS setting found in our websites turorials section. They would then need to connect the PSP to the computer in order to install the firmware. Usually, the instructions for installation would be in a readme.txt file downloaded togather with the CFW firmware. After the installation, users would now be able to use all sorts of applications, ROMs and Emulators on their PSP.
