- Get a Memory Stickfor your PSP:
Before you can load any data onto your Sony PSP, you must have a memorystick to store the files onto. The PSP comes with a tiny 32MB cardthat is only big enough to store a relatively small amount of files. Ifyou plan on watching video clips and installing lots of games on your PSP,you will need to purchase a larger MemoryStick Pro Duo card. These cardscome in several different sizes. Exact sizes vary depending on compressionrates and quality, but on average, you will need about 5MB for every 1minute of video. Before you can use a brand new Memory Stick with yourPSP, you need to reformat it. If you don't know how to do this, here'sa quick tutorial on howto format a PSP Memory Stick. - Download the gameto your computer:
As I mentioned above, we will be using the game SmashGpsp for thepurposes of this tutorial. The game can be downloaded from mATkEUpON'swebsite. He's the author of the game.

If you never upgradedthe Firmware on your PSP, then you may have version1.0 installed and will need to download a 1.0 Firmwareversion of the game (i.e.. SmashGpsp02b10.zip[1.0 PSPs]). The 02b isthe build version of the game, not the Firmwareversion! To figure out what version of Firmwareis installed on your PSP, please readthe Firmware tutorial on this page.

At the time this tutorialwas written, the latest version of SmashGpsp was0.2b and was available for PSPs with Firmware version1.0 and 1.5 only. A newer version of the game andFirmware may be available as you are reading this,but with each Firmware upgrade Sony has tried toblock people from using homebrew games. Most homebrewPSP games work with Firmware 1.5 and under only. Wewill say this one more time, most homebrewPSP games work with Firmware1.5 and under only.If you get an error that says something like 'Thedata is corrupted' or 'The game could notbe started' thenthe Firmware version on your PSP is not compatiblewith the homebrew game. Please check smashgp.gp32z.com forthe latest version of SmashGpsp that may be compatiblewith your PSP's current Firmware version.
- Makesure the file you download ends with 'psp' (i.e..SmashGpsp02b15.zip).This is because the author has ported this gameto several different platforms. Only a versionwith 'psp' inthe title will be compatible with your Sony PSP.

The game will be compressed into a ZIP file archive. Most computers come witha compression utility like StuffitExpander (Mac) or Winzip(PC) and will automatically'unzip' this file. Once you uncompress this file, you should findtwo folders called 'SmashGpsp' and 'SmashGpsp%' aswell as a read me file from the author. - Connectthe PSP to your computer:
If you haven't already, you need to connect the PSP to your computerwith the USB cable that it came with. You will then need to put thePSP into USB mode. Press the HOME button located on the bottom leftof your PSP and then scroll left to the SETTINGS column. Scroll downto USB CONNECTION and press X.The Memory Stick inside your PSP will now mount or connect with yourcomputer. - Copythe game onto your PSP:
In order to play this game on your PSP, you must copy it into the properfolder.
The correct file path is PSP > GAME . If you placethe game files anywhere else on the Memory Stick, it will not functionproperly.
If the 'PSP' and 'GAME' folders don't already existon your PSP's Memory Stick, then you need to make two new folders andname them in ALL CAPS. Just a reminder, the GAME folder goes inside thePSP folder.
If you take a look at the image to the right, you will see where on yourMemory Stick you need to copy the two folders called 'SmashGpsp' and 'SmashGpsp%'. - Play the gameon your PSP:

To pick between all 24 characters, you should do the following: - Open up SmashGpsp.

- Now that you know their locations, go back to the firstscreen and choose the people off that page that you need. Now,go to the bottom half and put the tokens in your invisible squares.Dont worry if you choose wrongly, even though you can't see yourtoken, you can still pick it up again.
