Did you download that file from another site and put it on the memory stick, NOB? You may want to just use the PSP's own system update if you did.

In that case, i would say go to one of the official Sony sites and download the firmware update to your computer. The instructions will be there as to what folder to transfer the file into to properly install.

Like I said, the full instructions on where on the PSP to put the firmware download will be at the site. Download it onto your computer (making sure to put it some place you will remember) then follow the instructions on the Sony site to get that file into the right place on the memory stick.

Sounds like your connection may be the problem- it may have lost some of the data, making for the corrupted file. You may need to tweak your connections a bit or maybe see if a friend has better luck getting it on their PC.

If you can't get your own connection to work in the meantime, yes- have a friend download the firmware update for you.

If these are the same games you were telling me about before, they won't. You'll need the actual UMD disc or purchase the ones available from the PlayStation Store.

If said games on the stick are via the store you told me about before then yes, you would need to purchase the games elsewhere to either get the actual disc of the game or the downloadables that are available from Sony's PlayStation Store.

Have you been trying to do it directly from the System Update in the Settings menu, ghd?

Try grabbing the download from the Official North American page via your computer and save it somewhere you will remember. Then transfer the file onto your PSP's memory stick- they have a picture on the page that shows how the folders should be set up (keep in mind the folder names should be in all capital letters). You should then be able to run the update directly from the memory stick icon in the Game menu. They have since done a couple more minor updates since 5.00 now any way- it's up to 5.02 now.
