The PlayStation Portable (PSP) is a handheld game console made by Sony.
The PSP Custom Firmware 6.61-Pro-C2 will work on all PSP models from the original PSP to the PSP Go and even the E1000, all you need is to be running the official 6.60 or 6.61 firmware to install and use this custom firmware.
Note : On the 15/01/2015 Sony released PSP firmware 6.61, some three and a half years after the last 6.60 update. It's of no benefit to you updating to 6.61 after all this time, however the custom firmware has now been updated to support 6.61. So you can now follow this guide if you happen to have updated to 6.61.
The specific emulator versions compatible with the Half-Byte Loader can be found listed on the official site. Emulators for OFW are meant to run on unmodified firmware, a list for that is also on the HBL forums.

| SNES9x TYL Mod
|
- SNES9xTYL(mecm)/cm Mod is a port of SNES9x 1.39 to PSP. Inaccuracies everywhere, especially with sound, but it's the best thing available for PSP for SNES emulation. Use the mecm build where possible, unless you use the PSP emulator on Vita, in which case use the s9xTYLcm build.Use the s9xTYLme version for best performance on an actual PSP

| Nester-J
|
|
NesterJ AoEX R3 SP is based on NesterJ 1.12 Plus 0.61 RM, so it includes features like rewind mode, cheat codes support, rotated/mirrored screen, sepia palette, support to rare mappers (the pirate bootleg FF7 works on it), etc, but its compatibility is inferior to 1.13 Beta 2.

| DSonPSP
|
|
Based on DeSmuME PSP project , we get a new Nintendo DS emulator for PSP, called DSonPSP . such as the possibility of choosing the position of the screens , choosing the language in which you want the ROM to run and playing its audio . Now it has expanded the number of Roms that are playable, but the speed, although it has increased compared to the other emulator, is still low.just POC Very Low Compatibility.

| Twinbee Collection (SNES Emulator)
|
|
Pop'n Twinbee, originally a SNES game, was included in this compilation. It was emulated. However, the emulator itself is hacky. While the game ROM hasn't been altered, it was instead fragmented into four individual pieces. This practice was used with the "I Love Mickey Mouse" emulated Saturn re-releases of Mickey/Donald Megadrive games, with the ROMs similarly divided.
Going through the trouble of taking a regular ROM from the exact same size and replacing it in the compilation (for example Tiny Toons Adventures) reveal the emulator can handle it well with occasional graphical glitches, and controller problems.
|
| PC Engine Collections (PC Engine / PC Engine CD Emulators)
|
|
Hudson Soft helped with designing the original PC Engine console (known as the TurboGrafx-16 in the US) back in the nineties and developed lots of exclusives for it. They also re-released many of those on compilations for the PSP, later released as standalone PS3 compilations on Japanese and Western PSN. These compilations are top-notch emulators with many scaling options, and injecting other games is easy.
For standard PC Engine cartridge releases (HuCard), the following compilations can be used as surrogates:
- Soldier Collection PC Engine Best Collection
For PC Engine CD games, the following compilations can be used as surrogates:
- Soldier Collection PC Engine Best Collection
- Far East of Eden Collection
- Ginga Oujou Sama Densetsu Collection
Dump the UMD to ISO format with the method of your choosing (like CFW), and open the ISO's contents with UMDGen.
The game images are usually under the directory PSP_GAME/USRDIR/CONTENT/CDROM:
- PCE HuCard Cartridge games: PCE files. Exact same as No-Intro dumps.
- PCE CD-ROM² games: folders named something like
HCDxxxx (usually the release identifier). HCD/AT3/BIN files are inside, which are in fact a regular PCE-CD ISO in CUE/WAV/BIN format (TOC files are also used) with the WAV sound files converted to the native PSP audio format (AT3). Instructions about how to convert them can be found here in Japanese, and here's a mirror to the pceconv tool used.
- BIOS file: SYSCARD3P.PCE, needed for CD emulation. Should not be replaced.
Rename your ROMs (HuCard games) or ISOs (CD games) to match the internal filenames, and drag and drop those in UMDGen to replace the existing files (confirm overwriting existing files). You can delete the PMF videos used by the collection's gallery mode to make the ISO smaller. When you're done go to File and Save as ISO (CSO is smaller but doesn't play well on real hardware).
You can do the same with standalone PSN releases of TG-16 games which were made available as well on the PSP/PS3/Vita PSN. You just have to sniff the PKG, extract it, decrypt it and replace the PCE files or ISO dumps just like with the other collections. After that, you just have to re-encrypt them and put the files on your console to play those. More detailed instructions are here.
