How Do I Fix My PSP After Software Update?

The Sony PSP is a portable video game device that was released in 2005. It is frequently updated via the online "Sony Updater," which installs the most recent copy of the Sony PSP firmware. Firmware is what runs the PSP. You can compare it to Os X for an Apple computer or Windows for a Microsoft PC. Often a system update will cure a file system problem for a PSP but, if it does not, there are a few things you can do to help the situation.
