I would like to bring this game to your attention, If you haven't played it already or wondering what is the best game on this list or the lack of space and can only choose one game, or you can only take one game to a deserted island. Cave Story is your choice. Must have homebrew game.

Story & Characters are suprebly scripted and narrated old skool style with in game text, Characters are fleshed out and unique. Story has a emotional touch that i don't want to go into, so you can experience your self.

Gameplay mixed between RPG elements, Platforming and side scrolling shoot em up at its finest. Keeping your weapon upgrades and upgrading your arsenal as you go along Super Metriod style and fight in great boss battles. Addictive game is addictive.

Q. Installation Of Homebrew Games?

A. This is very simple, You will need custom firmware installed on your PSP in order to play these successfully. There are many guides in the PSP application section and various other places on this site and internet, Which should guide you step by step installing custom firmware. You should know your PSP Model number and Firmware number. Then you can research the related Chicken Hen. Once done, simple move the homebrew game folder to PSP/Game on your memory stick folders and run the game from the XMB ( PSP Menu ).


Q. Running 1.50 Homebrews On Newer Custom Firmwares?

A. There is a small minority of 1.50 homebrews on this list which are suppose to run on older custom firmwares. They will not have compatibility with newer firmwares as 5.50 GEN D3 or newer. For these few games, you will need a application called ELoader to load and run these homebrew games. You will know if they are 1.50 games as they come in two folders, one which has a % sign. You can get eloader from here and visit Playuns thread in the application section for intructions. Read me file should be included in the download.


Q. What are OpenBOR Games?

A. OpenBOR is a engine based on the 'Beats Of Rage' game. Developers use this make various mods which can be found within this list. These games should be placed into the PAK folder within the OpenBOR folder.

Q. What the heck? I downloaded DOOM,Heretic, Hexen and Wolfenstien they say they need WADS?

A. WADs are package files for the video game Doom or its sequel Doom II, that contain sprites, levels, and game data. WAD stands for Where's All the Data. The homebrews look for these WAD files in order to load the game. You can search for them in google and place them within your DOOM,Heretic, Hexen folder or what ever game requires a WAD. There are orginal WADs for the orginal games and also modded WADs. Doom Legacy allows you to load modded WADs , which can range from user created levels and entirely orginal full games.
