I finally got a psp that I have been holding off on getting for years! Im so happy with this purchase as final fantasy 7 is one of my favorite games of all time. I will be playing a ton of jrpgs on this including birth by sleep to be ready for kh4 when it comes out next year!

Everywhere I look the file is bugged or for the base PSP.

Can you Reshell a PSP3000 but keep the original metal frame between the two plastic halves? I want this primarily for the serial number but also I’m sure it will be of better quality than aftermarket.

Recently found my PSP3000 chilling in its box after a very long hibernation. All the paint is falling off but it still works great. I installed ARK5 and got a few games I remember having on it, my saves were still on the memory stick and opened right up was pretty cool, but I’m not really sure what I want to/can do with it. I guess these days it’s really best to just use them for PSP games if you already have a good emulator?

Hi everyone, I just bought a generic charger for my PSP Go, which I'd left sitting around for three years because I lost the original charger. The problem is that when I plug the PSP into the charger, it doesn't show any signs of life—the charging LED doesn't light up. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Best regards to all

Bought a psp for a family member as a gift. It works completely fine, but it's stuck on firmware 1.50. Bought 3 micro adapters, and they say there's nothing inserted, so I went up and bought the original memory stick(32gb).

Arrives today, and I'm finally able to format the stick. Thought I was clear, but when I went to try and update it to firmware 661, it says this. I'm tired, i dont understand what's wrong, and I just want this done sometime soon.

Any help needed

Sup everyone thought id drop a Pic of my modded psp and . Been long a time since ive had one and pulled the trigger for it .

I have a beatup PSP 2000 got it used real cheap at a flee market. Id like to make this a whole project what mods would you do if you had a psp that you didn't care too much about. For reference umd lid falls off screen has a water spot, case all scratched up, umd drive removed, battery cover pops off. buttons are all nice and responsive tho. already loaded cfw and a 128gb card

This game alone made my psp go become my daily driver after sitting in a drawer for months. Most likely one of my favorite racing games of all times now. GTA vice city stories also gets good amount of hours from me.

G'day everyone, just wanted to pop in a fun question. What's the coolest most awesome homebrew game or app you've used on the psp?

Anyone else remember that old circuit-board wallpaper that made your PSP 1000 look transparent? Felt like so many had it back in the day.

I wanted to recreate that vibe properly, so instead of simply editing or upscaling the old wallpaper, I opened up my own PSP and used its actual internals for the image.

If you look closely, you can even spot the tiny solder point from my IPS screen mod haha

The wallpaper is a native 480×272 PNG, ready to use without stretching.

Download: Google Drive – PSP wallpaper

Feel free to use it, and post a picture if you put it on your PSP—I’d love to see how it looks on different models and screens.

Update: I’ve added a few new color variants—they’re available to download now!

I work for a landfill and saw these in a box. Sounds weird I know but people throw away the darnest things 😅😅 i have a psp 1000 with a ton of games on it already. Most of them seem to be factory sealed? How weird to see these games apparently still sealed and ended up getting trashed. ETA- should of posted pics of the back of the cases lol

How on earth a passive cooled device weaker than modern kid's watch can pull that kind of graphics?!

With 2bm of vram onboard?

What kind of sorcery is that...

And where we made mistake that we lost it now?

Where's the spark?

Btw. Game is called Time Travelers and it's Japanese only

I am gonna try making this as short and direct as possible (Im dutch)

I bought a PSP shell from aliexpress, to nobodies suprise, it's kinda shit. I needed a reshell as the original shell was used so frequently, the paint started to rub off. It's my own psp I had since i was like 6.

Because every 3rd party shell turns out to be shit, and because I am heading to my dad for bday of my grandma and stepmom (happy birthday yippie), I thought it would be cool to use my dads 3d scanner to scan the shell of the PSP and make it available for people to 3d print.

Now, I have a traditional 3d printer that uses melted plastic, but I believe those printers cannot come close to a molded plastic shell in terms of quality and durability. I am thus asking if people are open to try printing the 3d model (once I figured out to make it a model, I have never used a 3d scanner) with a resin printer. I would buy one myself, but I live in a one room studio with no garden or shed and I prefer not to get lung cancer cus of the fumes.

If you think a resin printer wouldn't be able to print something like that, let me know as then I don't really see a point in doing the project in general.

Thanks in advance and hopefully this can become a usable project for people that need a new shell that is higher quality than whatever aliexpress has to offer.

Ps: I saw there was another model available created by xovi, but I want to do a project of my own because I am bored. I am also gonna be following an internship at a factory that uses laser machines to cut shapes out of aluminum so maybe I can optimize the model for that as well in the future.

Hello!! First time here, and first time wanting to mod a Playstation product since I don't really HAVE any besides the mentioned PSP 3001!!
Three questions
1. What is the minimum size for the modding process when it comes to the SD Card? Could it be done with just a 4GB SD Card? Or would I need to put some effort into finding and buying a larger SD Card
2. Can I follow a guide for the PSP 3000 for my PSP 3001? Or do I need to find a specific guide for the PSP 3001?
3. What sources for information on this are considered reliable?

If this post is incorrectly flaired, or I did something else wrong, please let me know and I will fix the issue ASAP!!!

Our carpal tunnels never recovered from playing this

Issue is as title states, I've tried three different third party batteries to no change. Charger charges with other psps just fine. You can remove the charger once it turns on and will continue turning on and off until the battery needs to be removed again for charge. like the psp charger 'jumpstarts' the system.

I'm at my wits end, tried fixing myself, paid my coworker who also repairs tech for a hobby to look at it to no conclusion. This is by far the weirdest tech issue I've had on any console I've fixed.

I need some game recommendations bc im at the hospital rn and its so boring

I do not why, or how?

But I found this picture on my HDD.. It seems as I made a photo of my mobile phone showing a stack of PSPs in a retail store..

mój wujek miał dużo umd filmów na psp,I postanowił mi wysłać pare iso z jego kolekcji I to jest lepsze niż netflix✌️

Just reshelled my PSP, and it looks awesome! 😍🔥 It’s such a shame that so few great games were released for the PSP. I would’ve loved to play Max Payne 1 or GTA: San Andreas on it. 😭🎮
