How to Save on PSX Games on a PSP

The original PlayStation console (sometimes called the PSone or PSX) had a wealth of games on it, and the PSP console is more than capable of playing these games. Saving that game to your PSP console is one thing, but saving in the game is another, equally confusing piece initially. Once you understand a little more about how the games are saved from the PlayStation Network, you'll understand more about how saving works on the PSP itself.

Things You'll Need

PSP console
Memory Stick Duo
Wi-Fi access

Instructions

- 1
  Open the Memory Stick Duo port on the side of the PSP console and insert a Memory Stick Duo with enough free space to store a PlayStation game on it.

  Flip the WLAN switch on the top of the PSP console to the "On" position and power on the console. Press the "Home" button to return to the console home menu. Navigate to the PlayStation Network section of the main menu and scroll up to "Account Management." Press the "X" button.

  Scroll to select the network connection for your Wi-Fi hot spot or wireless network, and press the "X" button to connect to it. If you haven't connected using this network or the PSP before, select "[new connection]" and follow the on-screen prompts to select the network, input any passwords and test the network connection.
