How to Load eBoot to the PSP

Loading eBoot files onto the PlayStation Portable might seem a little foreign now, but it is a way to use your old PlayStation games. The PSP is capable of playing PlayStation games using its hardware, but the eBoot file that is created when the game is copied needs to be saved onto the PSP's memory card first. There were thousands of games released for Sony's original video game system, and with eBoot, you can use them on your handheld PSP.
