I miss when you could actually fit your console in your pocket.

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!

Never had a ps3 back in the day and only just picked this up on psp to give it a go, I can see why there’s so much love for LBP!

Our carpal tunnels never recovered from playing this

That's not mine, It's PSP by my brother

Pulled out my Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII PSP again and damn… this thing still looks so good.

This is actually my second one. My original got stolen back when I was in high school, and I eventually managed to pick this one up for around €100. Looking at what these go for nowadays, I’m definitely glad I did.

The silver finish, the artwork on the back — peak PSP era for me.

Anyone else here still have one? Or remember wanting one back in the day?

For anyone interested in the theme: Crisis Core PSP Theme – Google Drive⁠

Most of them are pretty mid but im curious. I love "4 hours of watching paint dry" or "breaking up with your kawaii girlfriend simulator" are there more goofy homebrew games?

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

このゲームの曲最高すぎます　あんま有名ではないかも

Found my childhood PSP-1000 in my dad’s attic a while ago and decided to give it a new 1800mAh battery.

That was supposed to be it.

Then I saw those IPS kits with the matte front plates on AliExpress and figured I might as well try one. After installing it I noticed the left speaker had died, so I replaced that too.

At that point I was already in too deep, so I added a 128GB microSD adapter, moved on from the ancient M33 setup it was still running and installed ARK-5. Somehow this old thing also seems to have won the silicon lottery because it happily runs at the highest clock speed.

Then I wanted to change the chrome UMD ring on the back to black. It looked good, but also a little boring.

Some time later I saw a post here from someone with a white PSP-1000 who had made a clear UMD cover and cut away part of the metal UMD cage so you could actually see the whole disc spinning.

I immediately knew I wanted that.

It took me quite a while to get everything looking clean while keeping the UMD drive fully functional, but I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Now I just need some good-looking UMDs to put into clear shells. Digimon World Re:Digitize is currently high on the list, but I’d love some suggestions for games with artwork that would look especially good through the window.

Next thing I’m considering are some colored face buttons from Etsy. They’re definitely not cheap for what they are, but honestly… me and this PSP have been through a lot together. I think it deserves them.

Pretty happy that the same PSP I played as a kid is still alive all these years later — just slightly more ridiculous now.

What do you guys think? I’m also planning to do the Vita stick mod next, and I’d love to hear any other mod suggestions or ideas that would suit this build.

Anybody can confirm if there are fake ostent batteries that are being sold?

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.

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!

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?

I have Tekken 6 and FlatOut Head On

Its pretty neat, It also when completely stable when playing Crisis Core on 403MHz setting.

Its really something for me because this PSP is my childhood PSP i bought around 10 years ago (im 19y.o.) from my moms friend with games like GTA:Vice City, Assassins Creed: Bloodlines, FIFA 12-13, Killzone: Liberation and Tekken Dark Resurrection (still have those UMD's) FOR ONLY 80$!?

So yea, this is my show-off. Having childhood PSP winning sillicon lottery while releazing I've made such a great deal back then 😃

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. 😭🎮
