How to Change a PSP Slim Gameboot

The Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Slim was the second release of the PSP. The original PSP was heavier and thicker than the slimmed-down version that was released two years after the original. While the physical appearance of the PSP might have changed, the way software and games were installed and altered were done the same way. This includes the gameboot image and sound. The gameboot could be changed by installing a new theme on the PSP Slim.
