Installing Applications

Each download comes as a zip or rar file. Inside the file should be a folder, and inside that folder – an EBOOT.PBP file.

The folder containing EBOOT.PBP should be copied over to your PSP directory /PSP/GAME. So if your application was foobar/EBOOT.PBP, you would copy foobar to /PSP/GAME so it would display as /PSP/GAME/foobar. If done correctly, your application will now show up in the Memory StickTM folder of Game on the PSP.

A lot of emulators will expect the games to be installed in a specific manner. Check each zip file for a file titled readme for details on how the emulator is supposed to see the ROM files. Commonly the app will come with subfolders named something like ROM to put these files in.
