How to Put Computer Games Onto a PSP

The Sony PSP gives players access to a large library of games designed specifically for the device, as well as older games playable via the company's PlayStation Network service. But by using homebrew applications like DOSBox, it's possible to extend the capabilities of your PSP. With DOSBox, this means turning your PSP into a portable PC emulator capable of playing many games from the golden age of DOS gaming.
