Try downloading files straight to PSP. There should be a 'GAME' folder when you click on 'Removable Disk'. Download into there, then open the game section on the PSP menu and should be there. If not look in the FAQ's in the website you downloaded the games from.
Managing your PSP downloads is made easier with Sony's Media Go software for PC. Media Go is an update to and replacement for Media Manager. It's free and can be a useful utility for managing your PSP downloads on your PC. It's also the only way to access the PlayStation Store from your PC, so if you don't have a wireless router or a PS3, it's your only way to get PSP downloads from the PlayStation Network. Once you have Media Go set up, getting PSP downloads on your PC is a snap. Here's how.
Media Go is no longer supported as of 2018. This article remains for archive purposes only.
Setting Up Sony Media Go for PSP
Start up your favorite browser on your PC (if you're on a Mac, you'll have to find a third-party program for managing your PSP downloads as Media Go is not available for Mac). Any recently updated browser should work.
Point your browser to the Media Go page (North American PlayStation Network).
Download Media Go by clicking on the graphic that says 'Sony Media Go Download Now' (it's the rainbow-colored box). Select 'save' on the pop-up window.
When the download is complete, close your browser and double-click on Media Go's installer icon (it should be located on your desktop, but it could be elsewhere if you have your PC's defaults set to download to another location).
Follow the prompts to let the software install, and click 'finish' when it gets to the end.
When the installation has finished, Media Go will prompt you to choose which files to import into the program. If you have media files you'd like to have accessible in Media Go, select their folders. If you already had Media Manager installed and configured, you can choose to have Media Go import your media and setup from Media manager.
You will then be prompted to select which devices you will use with Media Go. Select PSP. If you also have a Sony Ericsson phone, you can select that as well. If you don't know, you can always add devices later.
Click 'Finish' and Media Go will update itself with the files you chose to import. See Tip 2.
Once the library is updated, Media Go will launch and show you your library. Use the headings in the left column to view your content.
To visit the PlayStation Store, click on the 'PlayStation Store' heading at the bottom of the left column. The PlayStation Store will launch right inside Media Go.
To sign in, select the icon farthest to the right on the row of icons at the top right of the screen (see Tip 3). You can also create a new account at this time if you don't already have a PlayStation Store account (see Tip 4).
Navigate the store using the headings and icons.
Additional Sony Media Go Setup Tips
- You can select Standard or Custom installation when you first begin to install Media Go. It's probably best to stick with Standard until you know what you're doing.
- If you have a large library, it might take a while for Media Go to import everything, so be patient.
- To make sure you're clicking the correct icon when trying to log into the PlayStation store, hover your cursor over each icon and read the caption that pops up.
- If you have an existing PlayStation Store account on your PS3 or PSP, use the same username and password to log in.
- To download, you'll need to have your PSP connected to your PC via a USB cable. Make sure you have a memory stick inserted in your PSP that has sufficient memory to contain your PSP downloads. You can't download without having a PSP connected.
What You Will Need
- a PSP (any model)
- a USB cable (standard connection on one end and Mini-B on the other)
- a memory stick with enough free memory to hold your downloads
- an internet connection
- a PC or a Mac

Items you will need
Sony PSP gaming system
PSP Firmware 1.0 or 1.50
PSP memory stick
PSP homebrew games
Computer
Unzipping utility
When you download games on a PSP, you don't have to worry about carrying around hundreds of PSP UMDs (Universal Media Discs). You are only limited by how much data your PSP memory stick can hold. Plus, by learning how to download games on a PSP, you get an opportunity to play innovative homebrew games.
A thriving community of enthusiasts develops applications that can be run on Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP). These games, often referred to as 'homebrew,' can be downloaded free.
Check to see if you have the right firmware. Firmware is the proprietary operating system the PSP requires for functioning. You need Firmware 1.0 or 1.5 to download free games on a PSP. These versions allow you to play PSP homebrews; later versions have protections that avoid use of non-commercial PSP games.
To check your PSP's firmware, press the PSP's 'Home' button. Scroll down and select 'Settings.' From there, select 'System Information.' The firmware information can be found in the section where it says 'System Software.' If this section has the number 1.0 or 1.50, you'll be able to play PSP homebrews. If the number is higher, you won't be able to download free games on a PSP.
Format a PSP memory stick. The size of the memory stick doesn't matter since most PSP homebrews are relatively small. Insert the memory stick into the slot located on the left side of the PSP, where the directional buttons are. Pop open the cover and slide the memory stick in, making sure it's face up and follows the direction of the white arrow.
Press the 'Home' button and go into the 'Settings' section. Scroll down and select 'Systems Settings.' In the next screen, continue scrolling down until you can select 'Format Memory Stick.' The PSP will ask you if you want to format the memory stick. Answer 'Yes,' and the PSP will format the memory stick within just a few seconds.
Download free PSP games onto your computer. Sites like PSP Brew, UR PSP and PSP-Homebrew.eu contain tons of free PSP games. And the downloading process is pretty much the same. You either select an option to download, or you right-click on the file and use 'Save As' for downloading. Visit the sites to gain a better understanding; links are provided at the end of this article.
Unzip the files. Usually, when you download free PSP games, you receive files in a compressed (or zipped), format. This allows a developer to send larger files without the hassle of breaking them up into pieces. However, before you can use these games, you will have to unzip them so you can have access to the individual files.
To unzip files, you need to use an unzipping utility. Windows comes with one, and it's relatively easy to use since you just select options from a Wizard. But if you prefer something more sophisticated, consider using WinZip, for the PC, or Stuffit, for Macs. Both of these programs can be downloaded free, though the legal version of WinZip only offers a 30-day trial. Either way, unzipping is as simple as selecting 'Extract' and entering in the name of the file you want your games in.
Sony Psp Go Games
Connect your PSP to the computer via a USB cable. Make sure you place the smaller end of the USB cable into your PSP. Place the larger end into any of the USB ports available on your computer.
Switch to USB mode. The PSP cannot communicate with your computer unless it is in USB mode. This is accomplished by pressing the 'Home' button, scrolling towards 'Settings' and then selecting 'USB Connection.'
Transfer the games onto your PSP. This step is the heart of downloading free games onto your PSP, and it is simple. With your PSP connected to your computer, take whatever games you plan on downloading and place them into the PSP > GAME folder. If this folder doesn't appear automatically, you can create one by 'right-clicking' in the PSP directory and then entering in the name 'Game.'
Run the games you downloaded. After you have installed the desired games onto your PSP, disconnect the device from your computer. In the main menu, scroll to the 'Game' section. Select the 'Memory Stick' option. The PSP homebrews you downloaded will be contained here. Highlight one of them and press 'X.' Assuming the homebrew is coded properly and you have the right firmware, it should run just like a commercial PSP game.
Tips
If you don't have the right firmware, your best bet is to buy an older PSP from sites like eBay. Make sure you ask the seller what type of firmware the PSP has, so you don't waste your money.
Warnings
Some sites may allow you to download PSP firmware. Do not do this, as using hacked firmware is illegal, even if you're only using it to play PSP homebrews. And, if the firmware destroys your PSP, any warranties you have will be considered null and void. There is legal controversy over whether or not it's okay to play commercial PSP games without their original disks. In many jurisdictions, such an action is legal as long as you own the original PSP game.
