PSP Games for free?!??

Options
Does any one know about downloading PSP games to your memory stick?
If the games are quite big is ther anyway to compress them so they fit on the 1GB stick?

    Do you mean that you want to transfer a game from a umd inside you psp to the memory card, or that you want to download the games off the Internet?

    I doubt that you could transfer them yourself without some serious hardware hacking.

    Downloading the games is illegal and from what I have heard, really no worth the effort it takes to run them. There is also no way to compress the games, so to run them from a memory card requires the games to be ripped.

    It's not possible to run games from the memory card in any psp above firmware 1.5, so your probably out of luck as all current UK retail is at 2.01.

    Yeah, downloading anything other than homebrew games classified by the creators as free is illegal. Also, some of the things you may be required to do in terms of hacking your PSP to get homebrew games to work are also illegal. So not worth it really.
