How to Install a TurboGrafx CD on a PSP Slim

If you're using your PSP Slim to play homebrew games and TurboGrafx-16 emulators, you already know how much potential the system has above and beyond its out-of-the-box capacity. However, there are some games that are harder to emulate than others. Some of those are CD-based games, as they rely on patching the CD data so it can be read as a text file. TurboGrafx-16 CD games fall into this tricky category--the CD data for these games needs to be patched and installed on the PSP Slim's internal memory before they can be played on the system.

Things You'll Need

Computer with Internet access
TurboGrafx 16 CD game file
Sony PSP or PSP Slim with TurboGrafx-16 emulator
USB cable for PSP
