How to Play Invizimals on PSP

Invizimals (2009) uses the PSP camera (PSP-3000 / PSP Go) or Chotto Shot (PSP-2000) for AR creature capture.

Setup

1. Insert UMD (or ISO on CFW).
2. Attach camera: PSP-3000/Go built-in; PSP-2000 needs Chotto Shot (blue) or GPS-290 (white).
3. Start game → create Hunter profile.

Core Loop

1. Scan: Point camera at flat, textured, well-lit surface (wall, floor, magazine). Press △.
2. Detect: Game analyzes image → spawns Invizimal if conditions met (color, pattern, time).
3. Battle: Turn-based: Attack, Defend, Special, Item. Match prompts (timing, rhythm, rock-paper-scissors).
4. Capture: Weaken → use Capture Card (timing minigame). Success = add to collection.

Progression

• Level Invizimals → evolve (3 stages).
• Learn vectors (moves) via vector stones.
• Online: trade, battle (ad-hoc / infrastructure — servers dead, use ProCold for ad-hoc over internet).
• Shadows DLC (separate UMD) adds 50+ Invizimals.

Tips

• Scan everywhere — different surfaces = different species.
• Time of day (PSP clock) affects spawns.
• Use "Radar" item to reveal nearby hidden spawns.
• Save often — capture can fail.

Unique AR experience — works best in bright, patterned environments.
