If you have a modded PSP with CFW (Custom Firmware) installed, you can install many plugins in your PSP.

How To Install Plugins on PSP

1. Download the Plugin

- There are many sources to download plugins for your PSP. The most popular one I know is http://dl.qj.net/PSP/catid/106 . You can also find many plugins on torrent sites. Most of them are just a Google search away.

- Next, check whether the plugin is compatible with your PSP Firmware version. Some plugins don’t work with the latest CFW 5.00 M33-4.

- Extract the plugin files to any folder. You should get a .PRX file alongwith a Readme or Help file. The procedure to install the plugins is explained in that Help file. I will enlist the general procedure.

2. Copy the Plugin to your PSP

- Connect the PSP to your computer using the data cable and goto Settings > USB Connection.

- Open your PSP drive (Suppose X:\)  in My Computer, and goto the seplugins folder. If it isn’t there already, create a new folder and rename it to seplugins. The absolute path of the folder should be X:\seplugins. Copy the .PRX file of your plugin to X:\seplugins.

- Now create files called VSH.txt, GAME.txt, GAME150.txt and POPS.txt in the seplugins folder. Depending on when you want to enable the plugin, just enter the path of the plugin in the corresponding txt file.

Code: ms0:/seplugins/pluginname.prx

Remember to substitute pluginname.prx with your plugin’s name.

In the following text files,
VSH.txt : If you want the plugin to be active in the XMB, add the line to VSH.txt.

GAME.txt – If you want the plugin to be active when you play any ISO / CSO or UMD game, add the line to GAME.txt.

GAME150.txt – If you want the plugin to be active when you play any homebrew game, add the line to GAME150.txt.

POPS.txt – If you want the plugin to be active when you play any PSX game, add the line to POPS.txt.

Most of the plugins need to be enabled only in the XMB, so just add that line to VSH.txt and save it. Keep the other files blank.

For example if you are installing the very useful HOLD plugin, enter ms0:/seplugins/HOLD.prx in VSH.txt.

If you want to install two plugins, just insert two lines in the corresponding file: VSH.txt >

ms0:/seplugins/plugin1.prx

ms0:/seplugins/plugin2.prx

3. Enable the Plugin:

- Switch off the PSP and restart it while holding the Right button to access the Recovery mode.

- In the recovery menu, just goto Plugins (Press X), and enable your plugin. Go back and exit the recovery mode. If everything went right and the plugin is compatible with your firmware version, your plugin should be enabled now.

If you have any doubts or need help finding a plugin, leave a comment.

How to Install Games on your PSP

-

There are two ways to install games on your Sony PSP (Play Station Portable).

The legit way is to buy original UMDs and insert them in your PSP and game on.

For the not-so-affluent, you can install Custom Firmware (CFW) on your PSP and then download games off the internet and copy them to your PSP and play them.

Play ISO / CSO Games on your PSP

-

1. Install Custom Firmware:

- There are scores of tutorials on the net on how to do this. The easier way out would be to go to any console shop, and get your PSP modded with CFW for around Rs. 200 / $5.

- A detailed tutorial on this coming up soon.

2. Download the Game ISO / CSO.

- Next, search for the game you want, and download the ISO / CSO of the game from torrent sites or any warez forums. Most of the times, the ISO / CSO is compressed into a RAR file so you will need to extract it first using WINRAR.

3. Copy the ISO / CSO to your PSP

- Connect the PSP to your computer using the data cable and goto Settings > USB Connection.

- Open your PSP drive in My Computer, and goto the ISO folder. If it isn’t there already, create a new folder and rename it to ISO.

- Copy your ISO or CSO files to the ISO folder and disconnect your PSP from the computer.

4. Play the Game on your PSP

- Goto the GAME icon > Memory Stick and select the Game you just copied. Press ‘X‘ and game on.

Note:
1. You need to have CFW (Custom Firmware) installed in order to use ISO / CSO games on your PSP. The latest version of CFW is 5.00 M33-4.
2. The latest PSP 2004 with TA 088 v3 chips and the PSP 3000 aren’t moddable yet.

It’s a Sony PSP Slim 2004 with CFW v5.00 M33-4. Needless to say, I’m loving it.

Will upload more pics soon.
