PSP: The 5 best plugins for the console

With plugins you can do a lot with a PSP that is not possible by default. The offer is accordingly large. We'll tell you which five plugins you absolutely must have.

1) Change PSP theme with plugin CXMB

Are you tired of the same look of your PSP? Then remodel them. It's easy with the CXMB plugin.

• You can find a large selection of different themes online.
• You can activate this in the menu using the plugin. However, only themes in CTF format are supported.
• This gives the user interface a new face.

2) No compatibility problems with plugin POPSLoader

The old PS1 games no longer run on your PSP since a firmware update? POPSLoader solves these or other compatibility problems.

• Pops is the PSP internal PSX emulator. It allows you to play old Playstation games, but firmware updates keep creating compatibility issues with games.
• The POPSLoader plugin enables you to switch between different Pops versions without changing the entire firmware.

3) Date display with PSP Plugin Dayviewer

The PSP Plugin Dayviewer changes the date and time display.

• Instead of simple numbers, the plugin shows the date and time as text.
• The battery status is also shown.
• So that the display also works in German, you have to enter the days and months in German in the file dayviewer_config.txt in the plugin folder.

4) In-game screenshots through PSP plugin PRXShot

The best game scenes can be captured for later with the help of screenshots.

• However, many plugins crash the game or at least temporarily disrupt it. Not the PSP plugin PRXShot.
• With its help, it is possible to record the screen using the touch key.
• The screenshots are loaded directly onto the memory card under H: / PSP / SCREENSHOT /. One folder is created for each game.

5) The PSP order plugin Game Categories Lite

Anyone who has more than a few games on their PSP knows the problem: If you just want to play a certain game, it may take a while to find it. The plugin Game Categories Lite fixes this problem.

• With its help you can create folders and sort your games in them.
• You create the folders directly if you copy the games to the PSP and save them in the file system in folders.
