How to Transfer Games to the PSP Memory Card

Backing up your games on a memory stick can save you from having to replace a damaged PSP disc. This process will take about ten minutes from beginning to end. Make sure your PSP is fully charged when beginning the process.

Things You'll Need

Computer
Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick Pro Duo
USB cable with mini-B connector on one end

Instructions

- 1
  Format your Memory Stick. You can do this by clicking "Home" on your PSP device and then selecting the "Settings" column. You should then select "Format Memory Stick" and you will receive a warning screen where you need to select "Yes" to reformat your Memory Stick. You should only format your Memory Stick if you have not done so before, as it will clear any data on the Memory Stick.

  Connect your computer and PSP using the USB cable by plugging the Mini-B side into your PSP and the Standard slot into a USB port. You should then enter "My Computer" on your computer, and you will see a new removable disk drive. Open the Disk Drive. You should also open the folder on your computer that contains the game you wish to transfer.

  Select the Disk Drive for the PSP and enter the folder named "PSP." There should then be a folder named "Games." Right click the file containing your game, select copy and then paste it into the "Games" folder.
