Installing Homebrew

Hello people, today I will tell you how to install homebrew on your PSP!

7 Easy Steps


  1. Download your homebrew from some site such as www.pspbrew.com.
  2. Extract Homebrew to anywhere IE desktop.
  3. Power on your PSP and connect it to the computer (USB).
  4. Check to see what the folder you extracted in step 2 is called
MS_ROOT:Everything in it Goes in your memory stick root (H:\)
PSP: Just drag to the root of your memory stick (H:\)
GAME, GAME150 OR GAMEXXX: Goes in the psp folder (H:\PSP\) of your memory stick
XXXXX and XXXX%: Goes in your H:\PSP\GAME\ folder.


5. Disconnect your PSP
6. Go to GAME>Memory Stick on your PSP menu
7. Choose your game and play!

Frequently asked questions

  1. My games all show as corrupt icons? What am i doing wrong?
Make sure you have custom firmware.
To do this goto Settings>System on your PSP menu and click system Information
It should look something like this

System Version: X.XX
Nickname: XXXX
MAC Address: XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX

Your System Version should be something like X.XX SE, OE M33 or HX.


2.It Says My Games Cant Be Started! What Should I Do!

Check your game folder kernel. Most Games run on 1.50
To do this, hold down the power button until your PSP turns off. This is called a cold boot.
Hold R while booting up, this takes you to recovery mode.
Then goto Configuration>Game folder kernel and change it to 1.50.

3.My kernel is already at 1.50!

Connect your PSP to your computer and move that game (XXX and XXX%)
to a GAMEXXX folder (XXX is your version, mine is 3.71 m33-3 so the folder is GAME371)

4.How do i make homebrew?

For now use google.
