The PlayStation Portable (PSP) is one of the most popular video game consoles in the world. Sony is positioning the console not only as a gaming device, but as a full-fledged multimedia center.
Wi-Fi
Connecting your PSP to WiFi is the only way your console can connect to the Internet. Many users mistakenly believe that it is possible to connect the PlayStation Portable with a USB cable to a computer to use the Internet. The handheld console was designed as a convenient wireless device - which is why a wireless access point is required to turn on the Internet.
To be able to turn on the Internet on the PSP, the WiFi signal must be stable and exceed 50% on the indicator at the top of the console screen. You need to go to the "Settings", "Connect to a wireless network" menu. There you have to choose a name for the connection, enter the password for WiFi.
Browser use
Sony supplies its own browser for surfing sites and downloading files. Pre-setting this program will help save the player many minutes and hours. First, in the "Settings" menu, the "Sony Browser" tab, you can click on the X to select the "Browser Options" item. If the Internet speed is not high, you can disable JavaScript and upload images larger than 512 Kb.
Also, the user can change the standard browser to any other. Opera, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer browsers find a "response" with the owners of the portable set-top box. You can download them for free on the developers' sites. To install the browser, you need to drop the file into the Game directory and confirm the changes.
Viruses and PSP
When surfing websites and downloading files from the Internet, the console is more dangerous than ordinary computer devices. There are viruses that affect the PSP not only at the operating level, but also at the hardware level. Simply put, a number of malicious files can “burn” the PlayStation Portable.
Fortunately, there are protective measures as well. Antivirus for PSP DarkKiller checks all games and multimedia files for viruses. You can download it on the official website of the developers.
Content store
The PSPStore content store hosts thousands of films, tens of thousands of clips and music tracks. And of course, this is the fastest way from the console to licensed games.
To access the content store, you must create a PSPStore account (see Resources for a link). Attention: when registering, you will have to provide your bank card details - this is necessary for legal purchase of content. You can also deposit money to the Sony store account through the electronic payment systems Qiwi and WebMoney.
