How to Create a Magic Memory Stick for the PSP

A Magic Memory Stick (MMS) is a tool used with the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) to install custom firmware. Custom firmware supplies your PSP with extra features, such as playing full disc-based games off of the memory stick. Formerly, you could only create an MMS with a PSP already running custom firmware. Thanks to the release of a single software program, however, you can now make an MMS with your computer.
