Psp Go Roms
PSP Go hacked to load game ISOs. After the break, you can see a demonstration of the hack, in which a user loads up Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep -- a high-profile title never released on PSN. While we can't speak on the legality of using this method to back up your UMD games and play them on a Go (and then on the go). The other way is to hack PSP by installing custom firmware on PSP, download games from the internet, put them into your PSP memory stick and then play games on PSP. The downloaded PSP games are in ISO/CSO format.
For those of us who want the ultimate retro gaming experience, there’s the Hyperkin RetroN 5. For the rest of us, the Sony Playstation Portable is one of the best machines of its generation when it comes to emulation. Its little sister, the PS Vita, has the same benefits thanks to VHBL and TN-V. NES, GBA, SNES, If you can think of an older generation console, the PSP and the Vita have it.
On this page, we provide download links for all emulators that run on the Sony Playstation Portable & the PS Vita.

How cool would it be to play old Nintendo or Sega games on your Sony PlayStation Portable? Well, if you can find the right emulator, you can play them, thanks to the PSP homebrew community. The best and most popular emulators for 10 systems are listed here.
To retro-game on your PSP, you need to install custom firmware on your PSP console. Just run a search on PSP custom firmware andenter your PSP model to find the correct download. The process is safe and takes less than five minutes. Then, download a reliable emulator and install it on your PSP. Do a search and download public-domain read-only memory files (ROMs) for your favorite retro games. There are thousands of titles online.
Follow the installation instructions that come with the emulator. In some cases, you download the emulator to your computer, plug in your PSP, locate the PSP folder, and drag and drop the emulator to the recommended folder on the PSP. A BIOS may be required. In other cases, you copy the emulator to a memory stick and access it on the memory stick from the PSP.
In most cases, emulators aren't perfect. They may run some, but not all, of a platform's games. They may run them at a slowed-down rate. The screen may flicker, or the sound may not be as clear as on the original game. Whether they work for you on your PSP depends on the games you play.
