How to Play Emulator Games on My PSP

You can play tons of classic console games on the PSP with emulators.

Emulators are typically placed onto a computer, allowing you to play classic consoles like the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis and Nintendo 64. Usually it takes a higher powered computer to run these, but because of the PSP's higher processing power--for a portable device--they have been ported to Sony's portable video gaming device. Using emulators on the PSP cannot be done without a little modding first. You will need to install custom firmware on the PSP in order to take advantage of this new feature.
