Transferring PSP Games via Media Go: Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Media Go (discontinued 2017) still works for PSP transfers on Windows 7/10/11. Here's the exact process:

Prerequisites

• PSP with firmware 6.60 or 6.61 (latest official)
• Memory Stick Pro Duo (1-32GB) inserted
• Mini-USB cable (data-capable, not charge-only)
• Windows PC (Media Go is Windows-only)

Step-by-Step

1. Install Media Go: Download from archive.org (Sony pulled official links). Install, run once to initialize library.
2. Connect PSP: USB cable → PSP → Settings → USB Connection. Media Go detects "PSP" device.
3. Prepare Game Files: Legal backups only. Format: .iso or .cso (compressed). Place in a PC folder.
4. Add to Library: Media Go → File → Add Media to Library → select folder. Games appear under "Games".
5. Transfer: Right-click game → "Add to: PSP" → select Memory Stick. Progress bar shows transfer.
6. Eject Properly: Media Go → Device → Eject → PSP → Circle button to exit USB mode.

Critical Notes

• ISO/CSO Location: On Memory Stick, must be in /ISO/ or /GAME/ (for homebrew). Media Go handles this.
• Firmware: 6.60/6.61 + Infinity or LME CFW required to run ISOs. OFW only runs signed PSN games.
• File Size: CSO saves space but slower load. 32GB stick holds ~40-60 games.
• Mac/Linux: Use qcma (open-source Media Go alternative) or manual USB copy to /ISO/.

Legal Reminder

Only transfer games you own. Downloading ISOs you didn't purchase is piracy. Dump your own UMDs with UMD Dumper homebrew.
