How to Change Back to Magic Memory for a PSP

The PSP is a portable game console that offers a wireless LAN, built-in microphone and multiplayer game support. Modding a game device is the process of adding modifications to a console after purchasing it. The "Magic Memory Stick" allows you to add operating systems to the PSP not originally implemented by Sony. Going back to "Magic Memory" for a PSP requires a Windows-based computer and installation software.
