I think I must be making some sort of basic stupid mistake.
I have intalled 3.52 M33 4 but still cannot play most of the games I've downloaded.
There are loads of different types. Some are RAR and others arn't.
Do I put the RAR file straight into the memory stick iso folder or expand it first?
Then there are iso, cso, ebootpbp, dtx, dtg and others.
Do I have to convert or change them or something before they will play?
All I'm doing is downloading them, putting them in the iso folder and expecting them to play.
Some do but most will not.
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

For PSP Games it should be on ISO or CSO format...
as For PSX Games I'm not sure...

Thanks very much.
I'm really sorry to be such a thick **** but what is a PSX?
I've downloaded quite a few games that are listed as PSP games that show on the computer as EBOOT.PBP, if these are for PSX not PSP should I just delete them?
Thanks very much though, some of the games that would not work before work now.
My little lad thinks I'm a genious!
Thank you.

Thanks again sicdude.
If I put the EBOOT.PBP file into the iso folder of the memory stick should it play it?
When I try I just get a black screen.

SICDUDE thank you so much!
My little lad has been going crackers for Spyro the dragon for ages and although I had downloaded 3 different Spyro games (and other games for him) none would play (all EBOOT).
He thought I was the biggest loser in loserville!
Now thanks to your help I have just put Spyro 2 on following your instructions and bingo!
I'm the best Dad in the world.
He's got Spyro playing on his PSP.
Even though he now tells me they don't actually produce a Spyro game for the PSP!
Seriously though Sicdude, many thanks for taking the time and trouble to help out a brain dead numpty like me.
I (we) really appreciate it.
Thank you!
