Installing Emulators To your psp

There are many emulators for the psp and the installation of these is pretty much same.

SOME EMULATORS:

1.

NES: Nintendo Entertainment System

NesterJ is the most-used, and most-likes NES emulator for PSP. It runs well, with most games playing at their full intended speed. This homebrew is frequently updated, and there are few reported problems from users. It seems to have to most features of all the available NES emulators.

2.

SNES: Super Nintendo

SNES9x is a SNES emulator developed for the PC; the Unofficial SNES9x for PSP is an unofficial port of the emulator for PSP. Of the available SNES emulators, this one has the least amount of frameskip when running games at full speed. It is the most frequently updated and has the most available options.

3.

N64: Nintendo 64

It's not actually finished yet, but it looks like Monkey 64 is going to be a great emulator. Considering that most of the homebrew community didn't think there'd ever be a working N64 emulator for PSP, the progress on this one has been impressive.

4.

Gameboy & Gameboy Color

Rin is an emulator for both Gameboy and Gameboy color (which makes sense, as the GBC could also play older Gameboy games). It seems to handle just about every GB and GBC game without problems, and it's got some nice features.

5.

Gameboy Advance

PSPGBA is a nice-looking Gameboy Advance emulator. It has multiple languages to choose from, and can be adjusted to boost the speed for some games that may run slow.

The most basic step to install these or any homebrew is to paste the folder naming the emulator in the game folder of your psp .

it is located here : ms0/PSP/GAME

you can download a emulators pack at :   http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SOU6TWTM
