Sony PSP - Upload games, music, movie, photo, save games data from Linux Ubuntu

I think PSP is one of great game devices have ever made. You can play games, hear music, see video, see photo, take photo (additional device) even browsing the internet with its wifi capabilities.

When you plug the PSP to your Ubuntu with USB cable, it will act like a flash disk. So, you can upload or download any data that you like.

How can I do it?

First, connect the PSP to your Ubuntu with USB cable.

Second:

From PSP, Go to ‘settings‘ and choose ‘USB Connection‘.

Wait, for few seconds then you will get a new disk icon on your desktop. The icon will be different based on your themes. I use Mac Leopard themes, so I got an icon like below.

Now, you can double-click the icon to go to PSP directory.

Don’t get confuse with so may directories displayed in your PSP. Then main directories are:

• VIDEO - for mpeg-3 dan mpeg-4 format (don’t create sub-directory)

• PSP -

  • COMMON

  • GAME

  • SAVEDATA - for your saved games.

  • SYSTEM

• PICTURE - for photo (can create sub-directories)

• MUSIC - for your music (don’t create sub-directory)

• ISO - for your games (don’t create sub-directory)

Note:
You can save your ‘saved games’ . For example, when you play Tekken (my favorite) until few levels then you remove the game from the PSP, your ‘game levels’ is still kept in the ‘SAVEDATA’ directory. So, next time you install the Tekken again, you still can play with your old ‘game levels’. The concept is the same like PS1, PS2 or PS3. You can change any discs but your level is saved in your memory card.

I think it’s cool idea. So, you can install or remove any games…..

One thing I still can’t find until now is, set my Linux machine acts as server and my PSP as a client. Cool right?

I can do that in Windows. So, I don’t have to upload or remove big game files to my PSP. For your information, PSP games size are from 70MB to 1.5GB meanwhile my Sony Stick Duo memory card is only 2GB.

There are so many web sites provide games for PSP but I think www.pspiso.com is best. Usually games with big file size are divided into few links. If you want it easier, just choose a game with one link only (1 file = 1 game, not split), so you don’t have to merge it again.
