How to Put Games on Your PSP Without CFW

The PSP is a portable gaming device from Sony. It offers access to the PlayStation Store, which means you can download games directly onto the device. The games are stored on the memory stick of the PSP, and it uses the standard Sony firmware. Firmware is what runs the device. Many people use custom firmware (CFW) to place games onto the memory stick, but it is not necessary as Sony has released downloadable games. CFW is firmware that is not created by Sony. It is legal to install on the PSP, but it voids your warranty.
