How to Play Old Nintendo Games on a PS2

You can play older Nintendo Entertainment System games on your Sony Playstation Portable by downloading and installing an NES emulator. These are free programs that allow you to load and play digital copies of NES cartridges that have been converted to files called ROMs (read-only-memory files). Once you put this data on the PSP's memory stick, you will essentially have a portable NES system.
