Playing Game Backups

Playing game backups requires your PSP to have custom firmware installed.

Playing ISO Backups

1. Connect your PSP to a PC via USB and enter USB mode.
2. Navigate to the "ISO" folder on the root of your Memory Stick (or Internal Storage on a PSP Go) and copy the ISO of your backed up game to this folder. Exit USB mode when finished.
3. To play your game, find it under Game > Memory Stick (or Game > Internal Storage on a PSP Go) and launch it. The game will launch and play just as if it were being played off a UMD.
