How to Put Nintendo 64 Games on a PSP
The Nintendo 64 was Nintendo's first attempt to offer gamers the chance to play classic franchises like the "Super Mario" and "Zelda" games on a 3D video game system. At the time, Sony's competing console was the PlayStation, and many N64 games were not available for the system. However, the company's hand-held console, the PSP, is capable of playing Nintendo 64 games through the use of an unofficial emulation program.
