How to Play Non-ISO Games on My PSP

Playing games on the Sony PSP is the purpose of the portable device, but it can also play movies and music and browse photos and the Internet. The PSP plays games, using a few different mediums. These include UMD, which are the PSP's equivalent to the DVD. The other way the PSP plays games is by downloading them from the PlayStation Network Store. There are also illegal ways to play games, and these games are often in ISO format. If you are trying to play a non-ISO game and cannot quite figure it out, realize that it takes a couple of tries to get used to the PSP's menu, but in the end it is still pretty simple.
