ms0[edit]

ms0:ISO - Put your UMD Game rips here. They MUST be in .iso or .cso file format.
ms0:MUSIC - This is where you obviously place music files. File formats supported are .mp3 and .wav. *.wav playback must be activated.
ms0:PICTURE - This is where you place your images. File formats supported are .jpg/jpeg, .png and .bmp. (I believe that's it.)
ms0:PSP - Contains folders that the PSP saves data in. Saves, cookies from the browser, etc.. More info on that later.
ms0:VIDEO - This is where you place you videos. The PSP only reads .mp4 files at some specific video resolutions. Some are 320x240, 368x208 and 480x272 (fullscreen).
ms0:seplugins - This folder will contain plugins for your PSP. Not required to have unless, of course, you have plugins. Some popular plugins are cxmb (Custom XMB) and CWCheat.
ms0:ISOVIDEO - This is where UMD Movies/Videos go. They MUST be in .iso format.
ms0:MUSIC*foldername* - This folder can be named anything. Its a one of the few 'good' features to organize your music. If you like organizing by albums or artist or even type of music this could benefit to you. You can have as many folders in the MUSIC folder as you like. The PSP cannot shuffle music from 2 different folders.
ms0:PICTURE*foldername* - Like the Music subfolders, this is similar. Just name the folder anything you like. Useful to, again, 'organize' things in your PSP.
ms0:VIDEO*foldername* - Same thing as the PICTURE subfolder. Used to 'organize' things in your PSP.
ms0:PSPGAMEXXX - This folder is related to the firmware on your PSP. If you are on 3.xx firmware then this folder will show up as 'GAME3XX', 5.xx will show up as 'GAME5XX', and so on. It is rarely used.
ms0:PSPGAME150 - This folder is mainly used by Slim PSP owners who want to use homebrew 'exclusive' to the PSP Phat. It may or may not work depending on the homebrew. *Homebrew will not be explained in this guide.
ms0:PSPCOMMON - This is usually where unknown/unsupported file formats downloaded from the PSP web browser are saved.
ms0:PSPGAME - This folder is where all applications/homebrew, demos, and updates belong. They each have to have their own separate folder. Explained further down.
ms0:PSPMUSIC - Same as the MUSIC folder located in the root of the Memory Stick.
ms0:PSPPHOTO - Same as the PICTURE folder located in the root of the Memory Stick.
ms0:PSPSAVEDATA - This is where all your game saves are stored. If they are deleted, then there goes your data. Replacing saves does no harm. Just make sure you back it up before you do.
ms0:PSPSYSTEM - This folder contains data from features like Skype and RSS.
ms0:PSPGAMEUPDATE - This is where your general firmware updates go.
ms0:PSPMUSIC*foldername* - Same as MUSIC/*foldername*.
ms0:PSPPHOTO*foldername* - Same as PICTURE/*foldername*.
ms0:PSPSYSTEMBROWSER - This is where the PSP stores browsing history, favorites, etc..
ms0:PSPSYSTEMRRSCH - This is where the PSP stores your RSS channels.
ms0:PSPSYSTEMRSSCHCHANNELS - Your RSS channels.
ms0:PSPTHEME - This is where you put your .ptf themes. If you have the cxmb plugin, then this is where you put your .ctf themes.
ms0:PSPLICENSE - This is where the PSP saves licenses from things you bought from the PSN store. You cannot, I repeat, YOU CANNOT use things you bought on one PSP on another. Not even if you copy the license folder to the other PSP. Flashing your firmware will also render your bought games from PSN un-playable as the system will recognize it as a new, different PSP.
ms0:PSPGAMERECOVERY - This is where a recovery folder goes in case your PSP ever bricks and you still have access to the Recovery Menu.

When it comes to purchasing and transferring content, consoles tend to be quite overprotective. Sony is no exception to this of course, with all the existing piracy concerns that hackers pose nowadays. Because of that, if you own a Playstation console (be it a PS3, a PS Vita or a PSP), you will notice that the ways in which you can acquire and transfer content between those devices are not only limited, but also a bit cumbersome.

In fact, to do this you are required to download third party software only available on Windows PCs or to rely on the not-too-fast Wi-Fi connection of your PSP.

If you also have a PS3 however, not only are you able to download and install games from it to your portable, but also share some PSone Classics between them.

Let’s see how to perform these.

Step 1: On your PS3’s XMB, go to PlayStation Network and enter the PlayStation Store. Once there, find a PSP game or PSone Classic that you would like to play and download.

Step 2: Once the game is done downloading, head to the Game menu on the XMB and you will find it outside your Games’ folder “wrapped” in a sort bubble. This means that the game has been downloaded but has yet to be installed.

Important Note: PSone Classics can be played on both the PS3 and the PSP. PSP games however, can only be played on the PSP.

Installing PSP Games on Your PSP Using Your PS3

As mentioned above, while you can download PSP games on your PS3, you can’t play them there and will have to transfer them to your portable in order to do so. Even so, using your PS3 to download and install PSP games is a great way to save memory space on your portable, which only supports (quite expensive) memory cards for added space.

Step 3: Connect your PSP to your PS3 via a USB cable. Once done, put your PSP into USB mode by going to Settings and selecting USB Connection.

Step 4: Now, on your PS3 head to Game and scroll down until you find the game you downloaded. Select it and and choose Yes when asked if you want to copy it to a PSP system.

Once the copying is done with, you will be able to choose if you want to keep the original file on your PS3. I advise you to do so, that way you can freely delete your game from your PSP if you need more space and copy it back whenever you want.

Step 5: That’s it, your game will now be on your PSP ready for you to play.

Installing PSone and PS2 Classics On Your PS3 or Your PSP

Contrary to PSP games, PSone Classics can not only be downloaded, but can also installed and played on the PS3 and the PSP. The same goes for some PS2 games, although those can only be played on the PS3.

Installing PSone Classics and PS2 games on the PS3 is fairly straightforward. All you have to do is to head to the Game menu on your PS3 and scroll down until you find your PSone Classic “wrapped” in its bubble. Then just press the X button and installation will start immediately. Once done, your game will be ready to be played on your PS3.

To install the same PSone Classic on your PSP, first connect your PSP and put it into USB Mode as explained on Step 3 above, then on your PS3 just head to the uninstalled game, press the Triangle button to reveal its options and select Copy.

There you go! Now you know how to enjoy PSone Classics and more on your PSP and your PS3, all without ever touching a computer.
