Required software for JPCSP. (download)

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 7 - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

SonicStage - http://www.mediafire.com/download/9xjgchnz62myopt/SS43_ULTIMATE.exe

First you need to download this: http://www.emunewz.net/forum/attachment.php?aid=12833. This is the program that will do the decoding itself, called "atrac3plus2wav.exe". Next you need the driver.

To get it, visit SONY's website (http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/download/updates/soundforgefamily) and download the "Sound Forge 9.0e Build 441" trial version. It has to be 9.0e build 441, any other version will crash the program. Once you have it, start installation and press "next" several times until the program asks you to install Microsoft Visual C++. 

Once that happens, alt+tab out of the installer, open windows explorer (either with desktop icon or windows key+e), navigate to "C:\Program Files\Sony Setup\Sound Forge 9.0" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Setup\Sound Forge 9.0" depending from your system, and find a file called "atracplu.cab". Open this with winrar, winzip or 7zip, find a file called "atracplug.dll" in it and extract it somewhere, like the desktop. Close the installer now that you got this file.

Next, move both "atrac3plus2wav.exe" and "atracplug.dll" to your jpcsp folder, to lib/windows-x86 for 32 bit version and lib/windows-amd64 for 64 bit version.

Note, this has to be done that way. The driver is copyrighted, and so even though it's freely available in the trial version, it can't be bundled with unlicenced open source software like jpcsp. The extractor is closed source and its author isn't available to get any permission from, so for now it's also not bundled.

There is a third decoding method which uses the devkit encoder/decoder accidentally leaked by game developers, at3tool.exe, but to use it you need to own "Fate/Extra CCC" JP version and use several specific hacking tools to unpack its archive. It goes into the same folder as atrac3plus2wav above. It's not worth it though, as the previous method supports more formats and doesn't require any hacking to set it up (plus it's made entirely out of freely available files).

To use any of the methods here you also need to activate the "Decode audio files with SonicStage (must be installed separately and requires Media Engine)" option in JPCSP, which is located in Options > Configuration > Media. SonicStage needs to be installed regardless of what other decoders you use, otherwise this won't work.

How to play your game
To be able to load your games, you need to put them in the UMD folder inside JPCSP's main folder as .iso/cso files (.rar works too). How to convert your games will not be detailed here (google it!). You may also want to get Hyakki's launcher that adds additional options that may improve gameplay: http://www.emunewz.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=977

Some games also use their own custom fonts and these fonts are copyrighted, so if the fonts look strange when emulating and you want the fonts for the actual game, serio has a guide of how to do it:
1) connect your psp to the pc through usb.
2) your psp has to be using custom firmware, both to run the dumper and to dump your games. i suggest cfw pro (http://code.google.com/p/procfw/) install it first.
3) now that you got that installed (follow the instructions on their site), get " PSP Flash Dump v3.zip" from http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4687 and copy the folder "PSP Flash Dump v3" into your memory card under ms0:/psp/game/
4) disconnect the usb, then start the program (PSP Flash Dump v3).
5) once there, click "Press to Dump All Flash".
6) wait until it stops. when it gets to "writing ms0:/flash0/codepage/cptbl.dat" it's done. It won't go back by itself, so try pressing some other buttons (don't press X or it'll start again).
7) press "Press to Go Back to XMB : )" to return to your psp's main menu.
8) connect through usb again, copy the folders flash0, flash1, flash2, flash3 to your pc.
9) open flash0, copy the font folder to jpcsp's flash0 folder, overwrite any files.
10) make sure jpcsp's debug fonts are off. go to options>configuration, switch to media tab and turn "Use debug font (disable flash0 fonts)" off if it's on.

you're done, enjoy real psp fonts in jpcsp and increased compatibility.

btw. don't share those fonts, it's illegal. everyone who's not a pirate can follow this tutorial and get their own fonts anyway.

It is also possible to copy the flash0 folder from your PSP with other means but these methods are not recommended unless you're an advanced user who knows what you're doing.
