How to Change Backgrounds on a PSP

The Sony PlayStation Portable, otherwise known as the Sony PSP, is a handheld video game console that allows you to play PSP games on the go. The Sony PSP is just as versatile as the Sony PlayStation 3, allowing you to watch videos, play video games, listen to music and view photos. The Sony PSP can also be customized by using your photo or image to create a new wallpaper or background photo for your PSP's main menu.

Instructions

  Choose a photo or image that you would like to use on your Sony PSP.

  Resize the photo to a 480 x 272 pixel image using your computer's standard paint program. Use the edit function, and enter the image size manually.

  Transfer the image to your PSP.

In most cases, you will use the data transfer cable that came with your PSP to connect through the USB port on your computer to transfer the images over. This will save the image onto your PSP.
