This mini guide should get you started with knowing the functions and features of your PSP.

That link doesn't work for me. Are you sure it's iceteks.loc?

Yeah I changed it right after, that's my local server, works now.

Opps I hit the delete button instead of quote.

I probably meant to do it though. Was just another non constructive critisism.

Yes, I figured that out about a week ago. Thanks for letting me know, though.

Ah, so I can keep the WLAN switch turned on? I always turn it off when I'm not using it.

You probably didn't find it because it wasn't posted until a week or more after the PSP was released. About 2 weeks afterwards, I do believe.

Yeah, someone else posted that. Then my friend pointed it out.

Thanks anyways.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR ARTICLE...I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT AND VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND...U C I WAS HAVING SOME TROUBLE FIGURING OUT HOW TO TRANSFER MY MUSIC ONTO MY PSP BUT THANKS TO YOUR ARTICLE I WAS ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT ....WELL SINCE I JUST GOT MY PSP LIKE YESTERDAY (AND I LOVE THE DARN THING) ITS MY NEW AMERICAN EXPRESS CARD I AM NEVER LEAVING HOME WITHOUT IT. WELL, HEY MAYBE U SHOULD WRITE MANUALS FOR DUMMIES OR SOMETHING JUST A THOUGHT CUZ U REALLY HELPED THIS DUMMY OUT...LOL....NAW BUT IF U CAN, CAN U PLEASE GO INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL BOUT HOW TO TRANSFER PIC...I UNDERSTAND THAT IF U HAVE A DIGITAL CAMERA ALL U HAVE TO DO IS SIMPLY INSERT THE MEMORY CARD INTO THE DIGITAL CAMERA AND THEN INSERT INTO UR PSP AND WOLA...BUT I AM ALMOST POSITIVE THAT I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT AND STILL I CAN'T C THE PICTURE ... I HAD MY USB PLUG INTO MY PSP, WENT TO THE SETTINGS MENU ON THE PSP, THEN TO USB AND ON MY COMPUTER CHOSE THE PIC I WANTED, COPIED IT TO THE DESIGNATED FOLDER, BUT WHEN I WENT TO PHOTO OPTION ON MY PSP IT SAID NO IMAGES...WELL I DIDN'T MEAN TO TAKE UP SO MUCH OF UR TIME I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR UR INSTRUCTION THEY REALLY MADE THINGS A LOT EASIR TO UNDERSTAND THAN THE REAL MANUAL....BYE

What format was the picture? It has to be JPEG. It can't be .BMP, .GIF, .PNG, etc. Has to be .JPG.

Hope you figure it out, and try not to type in caps all the time. It gets a bit bothersome to read.

errr go buy a psp cable?then come back and we'll talk

Well... To play games, you must buy the games. Buy a USB to Mini USB-b and then come back for instructions on video and music playback.

Sorry people for not being on here to help. There should be an option in the Settings to format the memory stick. It will create the necessary folders, EXCEPT those for video. Everything involving music and photos is pretty much common sense after that.

^ the post up there is mine..i forgot to sign on ._.

Yes, you can view the files on your memory stick. It acts as removable storage, because that's basically what it is. It SHOULD show up on My Computer as Removable Drive. I'm pretty sure. If you aren't running Windows, I'm not sure what you go to in order to access removable storage.

Before you do anything, go into the Settings and options on the PSP itself and find Format Memory Stick. That's the easiest way to get all the directories((except for video, it doesn't make that directory and it's a bit harder to get use to)). It will setup your folders, then everything gets dropped into the specific folder.

I had the same problem when I first got mine, I didn't know everything went in specific folders.

It also will play ATRAC3 files. Though I've never even seen ATRAC3 until the PSP came out. But, whatever.

Not sure about the update, but a note on the ATRAC3 Format.... It's Sony's proprietary format for compressing songs down insanely while still remaining higher quality... as seen in some Sony discmans and MP3 Players the past 4 years.

I think the past post was talking about Saved Games. So, he would put them in his Saved Games folder. Besides, saves automatically save to the Saved Game folder.

No. Without a cable, how do you expect to drag and drop anything?

It means your firmware is outdated. I'm guessing you've never upgraded. Congratulations, you are still able to use homebrew stuff((emulators is the big thing)). If you don't care about calculators, text documents, emulators, etc, then upgrade. The new 2.0 firmware is coming out soon and it's going to r0x0rz my b0x0rz.


PLEASE PEOPLE! Register! Or ATLEAST type out a guest name. When I see all these "guests" it gets confusing and the only way to tell you guys apart is your IP addresses. Names are alot easier.

EDIT: I just noticed all four of those posts were by the same person. But... Still... This is why it's confusing.

The memory stick on psp is a disspointment. Just for 1 gig you have to spend 100$.
