I'm about 99% that this is perfectly legal since it's free to play them on the original websites, so here goes. (Note: this does NOT pose any threat to your psp's safety, no bricking, don't worry)

1) Download the Mozilla Firefox web browser (this is necessary, not preferable).

2) On the browser, find the page containing the flash game, that is, the page you would normally play the flash game from on your computer. Some good sites are newgrounds.com and addictinggames.com.

3) Click on FILE, then SAVE PAGE AS.

4) Look on the desktop (for macs) or your download folder (for pc's), you will find a folder containing many files from the webpage.

5) Locate the file that has .swf at the end of its name.

6) Rename the file to whatever you want the game to be called.

7) Plug in PSP and navigate into the PSP folder, then the COMMON folder.

8 ) Drag the file into the COMMON folder.

9) Safely remove your PSP.

10) Open your psp internet browser (you do not need an internet connect to run the following operations, simply the browser).

11) Open the address option, choose the lower left type box that has "http://" on it, keep clicking until you've selected "file:/".

12) Type psp/ then common/ then the name of your flash file with .swf at the end.

13) A completed address should look something like this. file:/psp/common/fallingsand.swf

14) Once the page has opened on your psp, select the BOOKMARKS option from the menu bar.

15) Add the page to your bookmarks (if you are nitpicky, edit the bookmark so that it reads the game's name instead of the address)

16) Go into your BOOKMARK menu anywhere, anytime, with no internet connection, and run the flash game you have installed! Cheers!

Hope this helps, or simply informs! (this may seem like a very long process, however, in actuality, the whole transaction takes about one minute tops, if you are fast at psp typing that is 8))

NOTE: Make sure that you have the psp flash player enabled in your preferences, if this is not done, you WILL get the "content cannot be displayed" message.

Let me add one thing, you can actually not do this on any firmware... By saying that I was implying 1.5 or a custom firmware was not required. As long as your psp has been upgraded to the point of having a flash player, you have nothing to worry about.

Excuse me, this should be the last edit. If a message something like "Not Enough Memory" appears, chances are, you did everything right but the flash file is simply too large. This occurs rarely, usually with the large flash games, such as flash rpg's and so on and so forth. Simple games like tetris, pong, and mini put will work flawlessly, and a good majority of the complex ones will as well. For most of the gamespot populace this was an unnecessary message, I apologize, I simply would like to relieve the ffrustration of select members who find themselves lost in the process.

Just tried it! It works! Man, think of how well the PSP would be selling if Sony just told consumers that stuff like this was possible. Great tip! Thanks!

Cool, I knew about the flash games but I didn't know you could save any flash game through FireFox, I used to search ages for downloadable ones. Thanks for the info.

Mine average around 100-1000 kb, or max 1mg. If they're really large, like i said, it may not work. But any basic arcade games etc. work flawlessly.

How do you find out its a .swf?skittlesman
If the filename has .swf at the end. For example, 346178239463.swf might be the name of the file, you would rename the 346178239463 to be something like "pong".

You MUST HAVE mozilla firefox, no other alternative browsers work. After you've downloaded firefox, try the steps again, if it doesn't work, I'll try to help you more.

Not much I can really help you with there, sounds like it's working, but you're using games whose pages are literred with trash. Only advice I can give is to find a different webpage that has the same game.

Sorry, I lied, one more note =D. Alright, most of the problems I've witnessed seem to be because of the internet browser. YOU MUST USE FIREFOX, no exceptions. If you're having problems, please check your browser first and make sure that it is firefox, if it is not, download firefox and it will probablt work.

Alright, just don't download the really big games. Use common sense, if you would play the game at an arcade ten years ago, you're good =D, if the game is very short, or repetive, you're good...

This is awesome, although with the limited amount of buttons on the psp it's hard to play some games, ie. territory wars, tanks. It would be nice if you could hook a keyboard up to your psp then play.

Does anyone know where you can download the Helicopter game from without it lagging, I downloaded a few of them but they all lag on the psp. Don't know why though because its a simple game and the file size is relatively small.

you don't need a .swf at the end of a file. In one game I just dragged the file with the flashplayer logo on it, which was the game.

did you type ".swf" at the end of the file?
also did anyone find a game that doesn't lag? All the games I put on my PSP are slow and laggy.
