PSP Firmware is a program distribution for Windows that provides the official operating system for the PlayStation Portable handheld game console. Released in 2006, the update package offers several new features and improvements over the previous firmware versions, including support for WPA-PSK encryption and the PlayStation Network.
Share games
One more major addition is the Game Sharing feature, which enables you to play games with friends who do not have the corresponding title on their own PSPs. This is achieved by transferring a portion of data to the other device over WiFi connection.
The update also delivers a variety of enhancements and bug fixes, such as faster loading times for UMD games and improved video playback performance. If you would like to convert multimedia items specifically for your handheld console, you may try another application called Total Video Converter.
PSN network
The software gives access to the PlayStation Network directly from the PSP. This means you have the possibility to download games, movies, music, and other content without the need for a personal computer or laptop. Alternatively, you may try a PlayStation 2 emulator called PCSX2 and load corresponding PS 2 discs.
