Hi,

TorrentSpy is good and also ThePirateBay is good too. You normally download them in .ISO format or .CSO if they are compressed.

What firmware is your PSP and what Program are you using to run the .ISO's?

If it is a new PSP I doubt very much that you will be able to play downloaded PSP games. My PSP is running the original 1.50 Firmware (which I downgraded it too many moons ago).

It is emulating the newish version if the PSP Firmware by using "Custom firmware 3.10 OE-A" which allows me try "TRY" newer games before I buy them and it allows me to create and play my own custom apps (Homebrew).

However with this Custom Firmware I had to flash my PSP and this leaves it very vunrable to being "Bricked" (Un-useable).

To be honest if you are not sure what to do I would avoid it if I were you.

Here is a bit more info though and you will need to read the readme files, etc...

PSP Stuff

You really will need to do more research though and make sure you understand the risks (I.E. IT IS ILLEGAL AND YOU MAY BREAK YOUR PSP). Sorry not trying to preach just letting you know all the info.

HTH.

There are now a few different ways of being able to play Homebrew, or copied games depending on what bios revision, and what motherboard version you have. have a look on one of these sites for more info:

i purchesed my psp as an import from japan several months before the official UK release, and it came with bios verion 1.50 so i was able to play homebrew from the start i am now running a custom Firmware 3.40OE ( it is made from a combination of 1.50, and 3.40 so i can still play homebrew, and all the latest games which need a later bios)
