Playstation Portable (PSP) USB driver for Windows 98

PSP

Sony Playstation Portable or PSP is a new, exciting game console.

Apart from delivering mobile entertainment, PSP can be used as a removable storage device.

But there was a problem if you wanted to move files to/from Windows 98 and Windows 98 SE - PSP cannot be used. No USB support.

Here goes the solution.

Setup:

  1. Donate $5 (or more) to charity fund of your choice then contact me by e-mail. Don't forget including the name of chosen charity fund in your message.
  2. Download driver:
     iPod-PSP-win98-v28.zip (if you don't have WinZIP, here's self-unpacking version: iPod-PSP-win98-v28.exe)
  3. Unpack it. win98-iPod-PSP directory will be created
  4. Put the PSP into USB Mode. This is done by going to Settings, System Settings, then selecting USB Connection
  5. Connect PSP to your computer. If nothing happens check your cabling.
  6. When prompted, select "Search for updated driver (recommended)"
  7. Check "Specific location" and uncheck remaining checkboxes
  8. Select location you have unpacked driver
  9. Wait for a while. Now you should have additional drive visible on your system.
  10. Before unplugging PSP you should always eject it. To do that, double-click My Computer icon, right-click PSP disk drive and select Eject on pulldown menu.
Disclaimer: do it on your own risk!

If the PSP goes into sleep mode connection is lost, so you should turn off sleep mode in the power settings.

Troubleshooting:

If you went to USB mode and nothing happened on your computer, chances are you have already tried to install a driver for this and failed or cancelled.
If you did not see get a detection prompt, you have already installed a driver for the PSP (YES, an un-working one, but it is still assigned to that driver in win98). You MUST go into device manager and delete any ghost or invalid drivers for the USB Mass Storage Device.
Also, delete any "Unknown Device"s or anything marked with yellow warning messages.
Then, try a reboot.
