How to Install the Video Player in a PSP

The PSP is a handheld device designed and manufactured by Sony that is capable of playing a variety of video games. The PSP can also use other software, called Homebrew software, that is developed by non-major developers. Installing additional Homebrew software can enhance the PSP by adding greater functionality. For example, many video player applications have been developed that allow you to watch videos and movies on your PSP.
