How to Download PSP Tube

The Playstation Portable, or PSP, video game console is popular among enthusiasts who have modified (or "modded") it to be able to work in ways that Sony has not sanctioned. This allows you to install programs that have been created by others. Installing PSPTube onto the PSP lets it view online videos directly on its screen. That procedure is straightforward and takes very little time, but before you can do it, you have to modify your PSP using a Pandora battery.
