Put Windows XP on your PSP

This will show you how to put a set of webpages that look and work very similar to Windows XP onto your PSP. This "Windows XP" will work offline, so there is no need to connect to the internet to use it. All in all its an excellent idea and will certainly impress your friends. The files are only 1.5 MB in size and contain games and other programs associated with Windows XP.

Steps

  1. Connect your PSP to your PC using the USB cable.
  2. Open "My Computer" on your PC and make a note which Letter drive your PSP is connected to. For example, "G:"
  3. On your PC go to download.com's download page
  4. This should open a page to download, "PspWxp 1.02."
  5. Click on "Download Now" to download the zip file containing Windows XP for your PSP.
  6. Download it and save it to any location on your PC.
  7. Open the zip file which will be called "pspWxp103.zip"
  8. Double click on the "Install" .exe file.
  9. Select the letter of the drive that your PSP is connected to.
  10. Click "OK"
  11. Click "Yes" to install it.
  12. It will begin to transfer the files required to your PSP, which may take a few minutes.
  13. Once it is complete a message will pop up saying "Finished Copying," so click "OK," to continue. But if an ERROR message appears, then you might want to try re-installing. If re-installing does not work then your version of Windows does not support this PSP software and will not run correctly!
  14. Disconnect your PSP from the PC.
  15. Open the Internet Browser on the PSP
  16. Enter - file:/pspWxp/index.htm - into the address bar.
  17. Use it just like you would Windows on your PC.
  18. Have fun.
  19. This little hack also works very well on Archos devices, especially the Archos 605 WiFi.

Tips

  • For Mac users, do everything except the install. Just copy the files and folder to the PSP like normal.
  • Check the web for updates of Windows for your PSP regularly.

Warnings

  • Do not disconnect your PSP while the files are being transferred as this may damage your memory stick and the PSP itself. Wait until the "Finished Copying" message appears.
