Japanese PSP Downloads

[Super Monkey Balls]

Anyone have any recommendations for some decent PSP games on the Japanese PSN and where to find them? Especially shooters. Is Soldier Collection on there?

Not a shooter, but Gitaroo Man Live! is up there an extremely cheap too.

Loads of great shooters on the japanese PSN. Some of the games ive downloaded are R-Types, R-Type delta, Gaia Seed, G- Darius, Super Star Soldier, Einhander, Philosoma,RayStorm , RayCrisis, ShienRyu, all are 600 points on PSN.

It's worth saying that the PSP-go hasn't actually launched in Japan yet, so the chances are there will be an influx of more PSP compatible games on the store at that time (Nov 1st)

Anyone know the best place to get Japanese Playstation Network cards from? Also, how hard is it to set up a Japanese PSN account? Got a new PSP on the way and I want to download all of the lovely shooters recommended by MisterBubbles.

Also Raiden & Cotton Original are well worth the 600 points.

I wouldn't mind a points card as well to download Ray Tracers as it's been that long since I bought one I'd have no idea where to get them now!

I've seen a few people mention this site:

Haven't used them myself though.

I tried this one yesterday (Japanese cards are cheaper on the above site though) to buy HK PSN points:

Ordered at 6:30pm and the code got emailed around 1am.

Does that Gateway site accept Paypal? I can't see if it does or not...

Also, I'm new to all this stuff, so what will a 1000 Yen card get me in terms of points? Is is 600 points = 600 Yen or is it more complex than that?

EDIT: Yes it does take PP. Just seen.

[Duddyroar]

TBH, while I'm at it, could someone talk me through this entire process? I have a UK PSN account but should I open a HK one or a Japanese one to download Japanese PSX games? Help, I am thick as **** about this.

[KusoGaki]

The point value is the same as the Yen value, so Y1000 will just get you one Y600 game.

The Japanese psn is better, HK one is missing some games like rakugaki showtime.

I found this guide on google:

[Duddyroar]

Awesome, I don't have a PS3 though. Can I still do this or shall I cry into my cup of tea now?

[KusoGaki]

Should be the same/similar setting it up via media go.

[Duddyroar]

Ah, thank God for that. Looks good, thanks for the link mate.

Are all Japanese games as expensive as Gran Turismo? That works out at ?30!

[Duddyroar]

How many PSX games will I fit on a 4GB card?
