Before you start downloading any games to your Sony PSP there are some certain factors which you need to take into consideration first. These will ensure then that you get the best possible downloads for your device. Below we provide some guidelines which will help to ensure that you get the best when it comes to doing PSP game downloads.

At the time of buying your Sony PSP it may be wise to invest a little money in getting yourself a good quality memory, especially if you are going to be playing large numbers of games on yours. Look for ones like the Pro Duo Card which comes with a very large memory base and is also suitable for using with the Sony PSP.

If you are downloading games from the internet onto your PC before you put them on to your PSP rather than directly on to your PSP you need to check that they are in the right format. If they are not then actually downloading them from your PC on to the PSP will be much more difficult to do. So first off you need to check what operating system (firmware) is installed on your PSP and then you need to find games to download which are compatible with it.

Secondly you need to make sure that the file you have chosen to download ends in "PSP". Often you will find that most games on a lot of sites where you can download them from have shared them with other platforms. So only those that PSP on the end are actually compatible with the Sony PSP.

If you are choosing to download games for your PSP on to your PC you will need to get a compression application program, because the fast majority of files held but download websites have been compressed. This is so that they are able to free up more space for them to then provide even more files for their users to select from. For people with PC's that run Windows, WinZip is the ideal compression application whilst those people who own Mac's are better off using a program such as Expander.

Once these folders have been unzipped you will discover that there are two files contained within the folder that you have downloaded. Once folder contains the game itself and the other is a "read me" file which has come from the author of the game.

Next you need to connect your PSP to your PC in order to download the games that you have saved onto it. You can do this in two ways either by using a memory stick or connecting your PSP to your PC through use of a USB cable. If you choose the latter method in order to transfer the files from one to the other you need to press the "Home" button on your PSP and then going into the "Settings" menu.

Once in the settings menu using the controls on your PSP you need to move down the area on the screen that says "USB Connection" and then press the "X" on your PSP. As soon as this has been done the memory stick inside the PSP connects to your PC and now all that needs to be done is the file in question has to be copied from one to the other. Also when you are doing any PSP game downloads or any other kind of PSP downloads it is important to remember to put them in the folder on your memory stick called "PSP>Game" or "PSP>Movie" or you may find that they do not work correctly.
