Homemade PSP Wall Charger

If you've lost or broken your old Sony PSP wall charger and want to use your system before you get a chance to replace it, you can create your own PSP wall charger. All you need is a Mini-B USB cable---the kind used by most digital cameras---and a USB-to-AC adapter, a device used to charge portable USB devices with rechargeable batteries such as mobile phones, MP3 players and digital cameras. With these two items, you'll be charging your PSP in no time.
