So I have a US PSP and a US Playstation Network account, and the sad truth is that Crash Team Racing is not available on the US Playstation Store. My problem is, I really want to play it on this PSP right here without modding or anything (a.k.a. paying for it on the UK store.) Does anyone know who I need to talk to about getting it on the US store?
EDIT: I should also mention that I did try to make a UK account once, but I wouldn't have any European means of adding money on to it, and I never got the email you get halfway through the process of making one. I also wouldn't have had any legit billing info.
From what i remember it was a pretty good racer - certainly well above the majority of karting games at the time and probably since. I went through a bit of a stage of buying all the karting games on the PS1; Speed Freaks, Looney Tunes Racing, Muppet Racemania (loved that game!)...
They defo should have Crash Team Racing on PSN in the US!
1) Can you switch the store to a different NTSC region? Axelay for the Virtual Console isn't available in the UK but I switched to Australia temporarily and bought it there, then switched back. Maybe you could try something similar.
2) Failing that, look for a PSN point card on ebay.
Would that be true for PS2 games also? I'd love to play Timesplitters 2 on my PC as I can't get my PS2 to run through the TV card. I tried emulating it but the performance was really bad :/
No, the PSP cannot emulate PS2 games. Think about it, if Sony can't get PS2 emulation working on the much more powerful PS3, how would they do it on the PSP?

UrbanMonk was referring to a program that takes the base PSP emulator from PSN PSP games and sticks the rom of another game into it, effectively making most PS1 games playable on the PSP.

Well they probably can emulate them on the PS3 if they want. The early models of PS3 were compatible with PS2 games, afterall.
That's because those models had extra hardware. The european 60 gb and american 80gb PS3s has "software emulation" but that's only the Emotion Engine. The graphic chip is still in hardware on those (and missing on the later machines)

Was my favourite PS1 game. Really not sure they'd put it up just for one person? Start a petition
