How to Connect My PSP to My PC Without USB Cables

While the Sony PSP is an excellent entertainment device, some features that could have been useful to PSP users were left out. The PSP features Wi-Fi capability, but on its own, you can only use the Wi-Fi to connect to the PlayStation Network or to play a game against another player with a PSP. TVersity was created to let PSP users transfer data from their PC to their PSP without using a USB cable.
