How to Download Screensavers to a PSP

The PSP's popularity has led to many gamers modifying the way that it works in ways not sanctioned by Sony. This "modding" enables the PSP to do things that it couldn't otherwise. Downloading screensavers to use on a PSP requires it to be modded, and the process is straightforward and can be accomplished within a very short time. It is not for the casual user to do, but will let you view screensavers on the PSP whenever you want.
