10) FAQ’s
Q: I can’t seem to get PSP GameShark to connect to the PSP. Why is this?
A: First, check you have connected your USB link cable up properly between your PC and the
PSP. Turn on your PSP and set it to USB Connection from the main menu. Run the PSP
GameShark and it should now work.
Q: I’ve copied a media file from the PC to the PSP but when I browse the Memory Stick
using my PSP browser the file is not there.
A: You might have disconnected the USB cable while the file was being copied. Always disconnect the PSP using the Windows Safely Remove Hardware.
Q: I have copied a file across from my PC to my PSP Memory Stick, but it does not
appear to be there. Why is this?
A: Select ‘Refresh Memory Stick’ from the File menu. This will refresh the Memory Stick Panel,
and your save should show up.
Q: Why doesn’t it work with Windows95 and Windows98?
A: These versions of Windows have been known to have issues with USB and today a majority
of users are running Windows XP.
Q: I seem to have various problems when running your software.
A: We suggest that if you have internet access, you should use Windows Updates to update
your version of Windows. Microsoft continually develops Windows to improve and fix various
issues. We therefore recommend you keep your version of Windows as up to date as possible.
Q: Does it matter which USB port I plug the cable into on the PC?
A: No.
Q: Can I plug it into a USB2.0/USB Hi-Speed port?
A: Yes, although the cable is a USB1.1 device.

A: Yes, although if you have any problems, try plugging it directly into a USB port on your PC.
