How to Dump a PSP Game Onto the Memory Card
The Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) was released in 2005 as the main competitor of the Nintendo DS. The PSP uses the UMD (universal media disc) as its gaming medium. It also houses a memory stick that can hold game saves, music and other files. There is also a trick that allows you to play full games from the PSP memory stick. This allows you to keep the PSP as portable as possible.
