NBA Street Showdown is a basketball game for the PlayStation Portable. It was released on April 27, 2005, and is the fourth game in the NBA Street series and the first to be portable. It features the gameplay elements of NBA Street Vol. 2, but the presentation of NBA Street V3. The game primarily features minigames, shot blocker and arcade shootout, as well as quick game modes. You can play head to head in all of these through ad hoc mode. To unlock courts you play King of the Courts where your objective is to beat a local street team in games, then beat them in a challenge. Some of the challenges are playing the team in shot blocker, or playing them in a game with no trick points. You can play with all current NBA teams and previous teams made up of legendary players.
There are two components for playing a psp NBA Street Showdown game on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the psp OS and software.
The second component is the NBA Street Showdown game itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest PPSSPP – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading PPSSPP, extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the PPSSPPWindows.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play NBA Street Showdown. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to PPSSPP and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
