Help with UMD games

**hypochondriac** · January 19th, 2007, 18:19

Hello there. I just bought my PSP off ebay and have updated to the latest firmware 3.03-oeb and everything works great. I have downloaded a few emulators and they are brilliant. I heard you needed a UMD to play psx games (which I dont have) so today I went and purchased a cheap one. Problem is it doesnt seem to be working. I know I need US games but is there an application which allows me to play UK games on a US PSP?

It doesnt matter on which games you purchase. I think

Ok then it is a problem with the PSP! The white screen with PSP accross it comes on then the PSP shuts itself off! Any ideas what I should do to get it to work? The game is football manager handheld.

Errr.. UMD's aren't needed to play PSX games..

Wait... Who the heck told you that you need a UMD to play PSX games? You don't, you load them from the XMB (like other homebrew).

Just tried an MSloader game and got the same result. Should I downgrade?

What happens when you try to load the game?

PSX games don't need a UMD in the drive, that was for something else. UK games will work fine on a US PSP, the PSP is region free (except for the UMD movies.)
