The PSP is a great gaming device, that can allow you to download and play games, music, movies, and so much more. However if you are a new owner of a PSP console, searching and finding new games for you to use on your games console, can be confusing.

Well, here are three facts about finding a PSP downloadable game. Read them before you do anything else!

FACT ONE: FIRMWARE

Before you can begin searching for and downloading you favorite PSP games, you need to first check your PSP to find out what version of firmware it currently has. Essentially, firmware is the operating system that runs your PSP.

Right now, the only PSP firmware versions that you can download a game onto are versions 1.0 and 1.50. This is because, in order for you to download a PSP game, you need to be able to run an emulator on your PSP (currently the firmware versions of 1.51 and 1.52, won't allow you to run an emulator on your PSP).

You can quickly check the firmware version on your PSP console, simply by scrolling left on the PSP's main screen and selecting the SETTINGS button. You then scroll down to SYSTEMS SETTINGS and select it. Then scroll down to and select SYSTEM INFORMATION. Now under, SYSTEM SOFTWARE, it will have your PSP's firmware version number.

These emulators will allow you to play respective games on your PSP. Although downloading and installing an emulator isn't illegal, the games you use on your emulator may be. There are many online PSP download websites that are illegally sharing games. You need to be vigilant against these types of unscrupulous websites.
