One of the things that was a bit disappointing for PSP owners is that you couldn’t play videos at the exact size of the PSP’s resolution, however, a developer that goes by the name of “Jonny” released a tool that allows you to convert your widescreen videos and view them on 1.50 PSPs (It doesn’t work on 1.0 or 2.0+ PSPs).

To do this, PSP Vault put together a small guide on how to do it:

1. Download the 3GP Converter. Unzip it.

2. Download jonny’s PMP Mod 1.00 and PMP Muxer 1.00. Unzip them.

3. Put “PMPMOD” and “PMPMOD%” in the PSP\GAME\ directory of your PSP. Take pmp_muxer.exe and place it in \3GP_Converter034\cores\ (this folder was created in step 1 when you unzipped 3GP Converter). Then download this file, and place it inside \3GP_Converter034\default_setting\. Finally, create a folder called “VIDEO” inside of your “PSP” directory, so you’ll have PSP\VIDEO\.

4. Run setup.exe inside the 3GP_Converter directory. Choose “Model: PMP, for jonny’s PMP mod v1.00.”

You are now complete with setup. You don’t have to do any of the above the next time you want to create a video.

5. Run 3GP_Converter.exe. Choose your selected video output; you probably want “16:9 23.97fps @ 896kbps,” since your source video will be widescreen. Speaking of which, get a DivX or XviD widescreen video ready. Also, push the “Browse” button to select your “Output Directory.” Choose the PSP\VIDEO\ folder we created in step 3.

6. Drag and drop the video file into the 3GP Converter window. It will begin to convert.

7. Unplug your PSP from your computer, run PMP MOD by selecting it from “Memory Stick” under “Game,” and enjoy your 480 x 272 video.
