How to Play PSP Games on a PC Program

Play PSP games on your PC.

Playing PlayStation Portable (PSP) games on a PC is still in the process of development. There are some full versions of games that work on what is called a PSP emulator, but not all PSP games work. By downloading a PSP emulator and a few games that are known to function well on emulators, you can come close to the same gaming experience you have had on a PSP.

Things You'll Need

• Extraction program

Instructions

1. Visit the Emulator Zone website or another similar PSP emulator site (see the Resources section). Scroll down the page and click on the links for one of the PSP emulators. The link will take you to a download page. Click on the link one more time and click "OK" to begin the download.

2. Extract the file using an extraction program like WinZip or WinRar.

3. Visit a PSP emulator game download site like the PSP Hacks site (again, see the Resources section).

4. Click on the link "PSP Homebrew." This will take you to games created by amateur developers that work on both the PSP and the PC. Scroll down to "Games" and click on the link. Click on a game of your choice and download it to your computer.

5. Open your emulator program. Click on "File" and then click "Open." Search your computer to find the game you downloaded. Click on the game and then "Open." Your game will start immediately and you can begin playing.
