Update using a PC

Required items

* A PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system with battery pack and AC adaptor
* Memory Stick Duo™ media with at least 27 MB of free space
* Internet access
* One of the following:
o A commercially available USB A<-> Mini-B (5-pin) cable
o A commercially available Memory Stick USB reader/writer*
o A PC equipped with a Memory Stick slot*
*If the slot on the device can handle only standard-size Memory Stick Duo™ media, a Memory Stick Duo Adaptor (model number MSAC-M2; a Sony product sold separately) is required.

Download procedure

1. Prepare to save the update data on Memory Stick Duo™ media using one of the following methods:
* Connect the PSP® system to the PC using a commercially available USB cable
* Connect a commercially available Memory Stick USB reader/writer to the PC
* Use the Memory Stick slot on the PC
2. Create a folder for the update data on the Memory Stick Duo™ media.
Using your PC, create a folder named “PSP” on the Memory Stick Duo™ media. Within the “PSP” folder, create a folder named “GAME”. Within the “GAME” folder, create a folder named “UPDATE”. (Folder names must be in all uppercase letters).

3. Download the update data and save it in the “UPDATE” folder created in step 2.

Notice
You must save the downloaded data as noted in these instructions. If you do not save in the correct location and with the filename shown below, the system will not recognize the update data.

* Location: Save in the “UPDATE” folder
* Filename: Save as filename “EBOOT.PBP”

# Insert the Memory Stick Duo™ media containing the update data in the PSP® system.

# Confirm that the update was successful.

After the update has been completed, select [System Settings] under (Settings) from the home menu, and then select [System Information]. If the [System Software] field displays the version number of the update, the update was successful.

After the update has been successfully completed, you can delete the update data from the Memory Stick Duo™ media.

If the following screen is displayed when you attempt to start the update data, the system software in your system is already updated and you do not need to perform an update.
