How to Take Photos of What’s on your Psp

PSP is multi-featured handheld device. You can’t just play games but you can also play music and video and run various applications with it. PlayStation Portable's audio player supports a number of audio codecs, including ATRAC, AAC, MP3, and WMA, and has the option to be played with or without a set of five visualizations. The image viewer will display several common image formats including JPEG, Bitmap, and PNG. MPEG-4 and AVC video formats are also compatible with PlayStation Portable.

PSP is a powerful device not just because of these features but also because you can customize your PSP with your own style. You can change its looks, background, buttons, icons and themes. And with the PSP’s popularity, there are many sites out there that compare and share various PSP customizations. This is possible by using an application that allows you to take photos of what’s on your PSP. More like a screenshot in computer terms. You can’t just share your customized background and themes; you can also take screenshots of your favorite game. How to do this?
Well, here’s a short guide that would get your starting:

2- Extract the zipped file

3- Inside the folder you can see various files, copy capture.prx and capture.ini to your psp's "Seplugins" folder (if it doesn't exist just make a new folder on the root of the PSP called "seplugins" without the
quotes)

4- Open vsh.txt or if it doesn't exist, create it by using any text editor and write the following line: ms0:/seplugins/capture.prx If VSH.txt already exist then just add it after the last line

5- repeat step 4 but name the file game.txt and pops.txt (For taking screenshots in a game)

6- Turn off your PSP and switch it back on while pressing R to enter recovery mode

7- Go to plugins and activate all "capture.prx" plugins

8- Exit the recovery menu and Press the note button to take screenshots and L+note button to make an animated gif out of it (to stop press note again)

9- copy __SCE__SVCPlayer and %__SCE__SVCPlayer to your psp at X:PSPgame150(Where X is the drive of your PSP on your PC)
