PSP Flash Arcade collection

by Andrew Yoon { Jul 17th 2006 at 3:30PM }

Tired of all the talk of homebrew games? Have a fully upgraded 2.71 firmware PSP and want to play some games legally? Well, chubigans from IGN has been running an excellent series called PSP Flash Arcade. He has searched the vastness of the Internet to hand-pick games that work in a Flash-enabled PSP browser. As if that weren't awesome enough, his latest update packages all twelve of the games he's discovered into one convenient zip file. It's less than 2 megs, so even those of you with 32MB sticks can enjoy. So, how does it work?

Download the file. Then make a folder in the ROOT of your PSP memory stick (where the MP_ROOT and PSP folders are.) and title it "flash" or whatever you'd like.
Next, place the files in that folder. Go to your PSP web browser and type file:/flash/psparcade.htm and away you go! (Bookmark it for easier access!)
Note that you MUST have 2.7 firmware installed on your PSP, and have activated flash in your browser.

Cool. Nice to see PSP FANBOY finally found someone who is actually interested in the platform enough to report stuff like this.

I love how pixelator thinks I'm both "interested in the platform" and I "crap on the PSP."

We just want the best for the PSP, which is why we always want more and more from Sony.

That one blog seemed to me like many of the others (implying we had no infrastructure games), but since then you've posted a lot of news and views that are constructive and useful, not the usual sarcasm-embedded-in-every-other-sentence crap from the others. You seem to be a good addition here, and I'm glad to see your contributions of late. It looks like I was wrong about you, and I'm happy to admit it.

FYI, I *don't* want a sugarcoated view of the PSP or Sony, but the sarcasm and negativity was getting overwhelming here - and some of it bordered on pegging the BS-o-meter, too. I don't think I'm only one here who feels/felt that way, either.

So, I for one am (still) glad to see your blogs, regardless of how you "crapped" on my compliment! :p

Hi there, you two brawlers :-)
I'm very glad that Andrew is bringing such great news!
I've been waiting for PSP-Flash games since the very
first day the firmware has been released, but I never
stumbled upon any worth trying.
I personally like the sarcasm-style of the other poster(s?), but Andrew and Chris definitely bring the better and more quality and quantity news. :-)
pspfanboy is experiencing it's rebirth, imho. And that's something I appreciate very much.
