How to Play Games From My PSP That Are Stored on a Hard Drive in a PC

If you have downloaded any PSP games from the Internet and stored them on your computer's hard drive, you will need to transfer them to the Memory Stick in your PSP before you can play them. The process for transferring games from your hard drive to your PSP is similar to that of transferring any other media to the PSP. When you transfer games to the Memory Stick, you can play them without using Universal Media Disks (UMD).
