How to Copy an ISO File to a PSP

ISO files are virtual disk images of larger files and folders that preserve the original contents unchanged. Because your Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) features an internal memory stick, you may use the device as a storage disk for ISO files if you are short on hard drive space. While you may not use the ISO file as you would on your personal computer, the storage may be helpful if you need to transport or preserve the file. Connect the PSP to your computer with a mini USB-to-USB cable to get started.
