Really odd problem...

[tiook]

Hi,

Okay, I have a few questions here, and they're really ticking me off. I just got a new psp slim, the ice silver with
family guy and daxter. Problem is that I beat daxter, and it's going to be awhile til I get to a place where they
have any psp games. Well, psp games I want to buy. Anyway, I brought it into town-I'm rural, no net-and
downloaded some demos. They didn't work. I followed the instructions: Download, unzip, put in GAME folder,
and try to run. Only my memstick doesn't even recognize that they are there. It's not the stick; I've downloaded
music, movies, and pics to it, aand everything works brilliantly. Only no game demos. Is this a problem with the
3.60 firmware? If so, why can't I find any answers on it? What the @%$! is going on here?

Okay, so enough with that, onto question number two:
I'm planning on getting burnout legends, as I love burnout, and the gameplay seems a perfect fit for mobile.
However, some reviews say the load times could be up to a minute, or even a little more. Yikes is the word that
comes to mind. However, I've been reading there's a way to rip a umd to a memstick, and play it off there. Now, it
seems mine doesn't even want to play demos, but if I can get that sorted out, I would love to make my copy of
burnout a bit more portable...and a bit less trying on my patience. I know it won't fit on my 1gb memstick, but I'm
going to get a four, which ought to solve that problem So, and ideas/opinions on where to go to find that information?
Or does it require me to venture into the hazy, brick-prone waters of custom firmware? Anyway, that's bout it.
Thanks in advance.

T,

P.S.
I'm at a library, and it closes 9 central, so after that I'm gone for days. So if I'm not responding, please post help
anyway, because I will return to read it. However, any help that could be rendered in the next hour would
be greatly appriciated.

1. When you downloaded the demo it most likely came in an EBOOT.PBP file. You have to make a folder in PSP/GAME and name it what ever you were instructed to name it when you downloaded it and stick the EBOOT.PBP in there.

2. You can only play backups of a psp game only if you have a custom psp.

to back up with duke said, but since i acctually had that problem, psp game demos have very specific names, that are a bunch of letters and numbers and if you don't have it right for each game they won't play.

If you put custom firmware on your psp, then the folder names don't matter anymore.
