Question

Will the reset be safe and not delete any of my games?

Community Answer

Only if you don't format the memory stick. The reset will download its update without deleting your memory stick or anything else you have on it, e.g. music, videos, games, photos, etc.

Question

How do I connect a camera to my PSP?

Community Answer

Where the WLAN switch is, you will see a USB port, which is where the camera goes. Next to the USB port, you will see two holes, which is where you put the two metal cylinders on the camera.

Question

We have reset the PSP, but it goes straight to date and time. How do I get it to the main menu again?

Community Answer

All you have to do is press X a few times and you are done. Time wont be correct if you don't set it using the up and down keys, but it's not required.
