How to Open Flash Files on a PSP

The PlayStation Portable (PSP) can't play Flash video files (FLV), even though it has a Web browser that can access the websites that they are on. You can add a FLV player to the PSP that will let you watch Flash video, providing you have modified (or "modded") the portable game console first to run programs created by other gaming enthusiasts. The FLV player will let you view Flash videos that have been saved to your PSP's memory card. You will need to use a PC to download and transfer the free FLV Player to the PSP.
