=====================
PlayStation Portable
=====================

This page contains all the information you need to get ScummVM up and running on a PSP.

What you'll need
===================

- A homebrew-enabled PSP. How to enable homebrew is outside the scope of this documentation.
- A computer to download an extract the install files.

Installing ScummVM
=======================================

The PSP package is available for download ScummVM's `Downloads page <https://www.scummvm.org/downloads>`_.

Download the zip file to a computer, and extract the files.

Connect the PSP to the computer by USB cable. Go to **Settings > USB Connection** on the PSP. Ensure the **USB Device** option is set to **Memory Stick**.  The computer automatically opens the root folder of the PSP. Alternatively, if you have a Memory Stick adapter, copy the files directly to the Memory Stick.

Copy the extracted ``scummvm`` folder to your PSP, into the ``/PSP/GAME/`` folder.

Go to **Game > Memory Stick** and choose **ScummVM** to launch ScummVM!

Transferring game files
==========================

Transfer game files onto the PSP as described in the installation section above. They can be copied to any folder; location doesn't matter.

See :doc:`../use_scummvm/game_files` for more information about game file requirements.

Controls
=================

Default control map
*********************************

These controls can also be manually configured in the :doc:`Keymaps tab <../settings/keymaps>`. See the :doc:`../use_scummvm/keyboard_shortcuts` page for common keyboard shortcuts.

Known issues
==============

- Plugin files are not interchangeable between ScummVM versions.  You must copy all the plugin files found in the ``/PSP/GAME/scummvm/plugin/`` folder for every new version you install. If ScummVM crashes on startup, delete the existing plugin files in the plugin directory and copy the new ones again.
- If the virtual keyboard does not show up on the screen, ensure the ``kbd.zip`` file is in the ``scummvm`` folder.
