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.

Playing PSN EBOOT.PBP Backups

This also applies to PS1 games, especially PS1 games from the PS Store.

  1. Connect your PSP to a PC via USB and enter USB mode.
  2. Download and install a plugin called npdrm_free_mod.
    • If you are using custom PS1 EBOOT conversions, then this isn't plugin isn't necessary for those.
    • To use PSP DLC, additionally install nploader_mod
  3. Navigate to the PSP > GAME folder on your Memory Stick (or Internal Storage on a PSP Go) and copy the folder of your backed up PSN game to this location. Exit USB mode when finished.
  4. To play your game, find it under Game > Memory Stick (or Game > Internal Storage on a PSP Go) and launch it. It will launch as with any game downloaded normally from PSN.
