How To Install and Play Your PSP Game Demos
PSP game demos are now available for free download on the internet. When I first bought my PSP, there were no game demos. People at the gaming stores wouldn’t let you try out the game before buying it. Now, that’s risky. New PSP owners are really lucky right now because they really experience the game first before they decide to buy it. Before, PSP owners like me only rely on online game reviews but it’s really different if you experience the game and decide on it.
So how do we install and play the game demos? First, download this file here. This is the Syphon Filter downloadable game demo. This file is zipped so extract the contents first. Then connect your PSP to your computer using a USB cable.
If your PSP MS drive is E, go to this directory, E:PSP/GAME and copy the extracted folder to this directory. Or of the GAME directory does not exist, you create it. In this case place the UCUS98641 folder in the GAME folder. In my experience, the game demo works even if I don’t follow the folder name provided. So you can rename the UCUS98641 to Syphon Filter if you want to.
For a list of game demos, here you go. You can click and download these game demos now. One thing though, some game demos run only on certain firmwares. I’m using a PSP with Dark Alex’s custom firmware 3.03 OE-C but don’t you worry, game demos work on Sony’s Official 3.03 firmware.
- Syphon Filter Downloadable Demo
- TOCA Race Driver 3 Challenge Downloadable Demo
- Medal of Honor: Heroes downloadable demo
- Killzone: Liberation downloadable demo
- Loco Roco Christmas Downloadable Demo
- You can download more demos here from my earlier post
More downloadables are coming soon so don’t you worry if you can’t afford to buy a UMD. Game demos are here for the rescue.

hi gary harker, I’m sorry but I think your son’s PSP is bricked. Bricked means you can never use it again and it’s now useless. You should never interrupt an update because that will permanently damage your PSP. All you can do right now is bring it to the Sony service center or buy a new PSP. But I don’t think Sony will replace that because on the update, there’s a warning there that says do not turn off your PSP…
