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.

hey badar, i have good news for you. The Noobz team has finally made a downgrader for 3.50. You can now downgrade your PSP but you must have any Lumines UMD. now that wouldn’t be hard to find unlike the previous 3.03 downgrader which needs the very hard to find Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories unpatched version UMD.

badar: There is no downgrader for 3.50 yet. I don’t know if Dark Alex or the other hackers are already working on the 3.50 downgrader but cross your fingers and pray, they might come up with something amazing. You can’t play homebrew right now but you still can enjoy your PSP in many ways — Watch a movie, listen to music, surf the net, browse your photos and of course play with it.

@benjahmin - If you have a 2.81 PSP Official Firmware, then you must upgrade it to 3.03 Official firmware first before you could use the downgrader. What was the 500 MB file that you downloaded? For all I know the downgrader would be that big.
Here’s what you must do step by step:
1. Upgrade to the 3.03 official firmware.
2. Acquire a Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories Unpatched Version. That’s the only way.
3. Search google for 3.03 - 1.50 downgrader.
4. After you’ve downgraded to 1.5, you can choose any custom firmware you wanna install on your PSP.
5. Be careful and read every possible readme.txt files so you won’t brick your PSP.
Oh, you wouldn’t be needing to downgrade if you wanna play the game demos. They’d run on Official firmwares for all I know.
