How to Play Games on TV With PSP

Sony's Playstation Portable (PSP), is one of the most powerful portable gaming devices ever created. It can play games equivalent in graphics and sound to the original Sony Playstation, and with newer models, can output the video and audio to your TV set. The first generation PSP (PSP-1000) cannot do this, so make sure your model supports this feature.
