I've dl'd the game files and want to move them to my PSP. It would appear that all I need to do is copy them via a USB Connect and create a bookmark in the PSP to launch the game. I cannot run the setup.exe, of course. I do have the option of Virtual PC (Windows 200 run in emulation on the Mac) but would prefer not to mess with that environment too much as it's an older version of VPC and I don't want to de-stabilize it <ahem javascript:emoticon(':oops:') > by loading VB files.
Can you tell me how to add the bookmarks "manually"? TIA
BTW, Mac is a PBG4-15 running OSX 10.4.3.

here is a simple bookmark file
F:\psp\SYSTEM\BROWSER\bookmarks.html
- Code: Select all
<!--Ver.01-->
<!DOCTYPE Bookmark-file-1>

Hey eyece, thanks for the quick reply. Did as instructed, but all I get is a grey magnifying glass and a little "dash" next to it. Clicking it does nothing. Spazzy clicking around the white space turns up no additional links. My PSP is running firmware 2.6 -- is that an issue at this point?
I'll continue to try -- any more thoughts would be appreciated.
BTW -- tried linking thru to a couple other of the "numbered pages" that looked like PNG files with hotspots. I was able to load the images, but still no links.
NO wait -- got it! It was page number 00034.a! Thanks.
