How Do I Modify Games to My PSP?

The Sony PSP is a powerful portable gaming device. Being able to play games from your PSP memory stick can only be achieved through the use of custom firmware. Custom firmware is the software that runs the PSP, but is created by users and not Sony. It is legal to place this custom firmware on your PSP, but the actual process cannot be taught due to copyright restrictions. Once the custom firmware is installed, modifying your PSP games to be played on the memory stick is possible.
