Can I move the PSP installed files?

Post by carl365 »

Rather than going through the installer, can I just copy the already installed files to say a flash drive?
Just curious if this will work.

Thanks!

No because the installation routine installs various things in the Registry, and if you simply copy the installed files to another drive that link will be lost.
