Watch web videos using your Sony Play Station Portable (PSP) console and your Wi-Fi connection without having to use a computer. The PSP console uses an Internet connection to play online games with other players around world. To watch web videos using your Internet connection, download and install a program called PSPTube. PSPTube, a homebrew application, allows you to watch videos from video websites such as YouTube.

Step 1

Start your Web browser on your PSP. Visit the QuickJump site (see the Resources section) and click "Download" to download PSPTube.

Step 2

Save the downloaded ".zip" file to your hard drive. Right-click the ".zip" file and select "Extract All" to open the extraction wizard. Extract the files to your PSP "storage space" and you will see three folders named "100", "150", and "200Over."

Step 3

Click the name "200Over" and rename it "PSPTube." Drag the "PSPTube" folder and drop it in the "Game" folder.

Step 4

Turn off your PSP console then turn it on. Start it in "recovery mode" by holding the "R" key while is starting. Set the "Game" folder to "Kernel3<version number>."

Step 5

Navigate to "Network Settings" and create and save a new network. Enable Wi-Fi and navigate to the "Game" folder then launch "PSPTube." Confirm that the connection made is active. You can now start searching for videos.

Warning

  • Installing this application may void the warranty on your PSP console.
