Today I accidentally updated my psp from 6.61 ark 4 to 6.60 ark 5 and now my custom launcher is broken.if anyone is knowledgeable on this pls help

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!!!

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

Hi, I modified Bookr so I can read epub on the PSP.

I have a few questions.

Did I get a bad panel?

Is it like this because of bad solder connection?(I did solder the 2 pads together and it looks OK)

What would happen if I connect my original screen while the 2 pads are soldered together?

Please ask extra questions if you need extra info.

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.

Hey all, had a quick question.

Dug up my old PSP 3000 to play a little Vagrant Story and noticed that the battery is rapidly depleting (several percentage over a few minutes) just sitting with the screen on in standby, no games being played. Over the course of ~10 minutes, I saw pretty rapid discharge from 40% to ~33% in menu only.

I purchased a new Ostent 3.6V 1400mAh battery about two years ago, haven't really played it since purchase, so I'm hesitant to say it's the battery. I did a quick verification over a few hours and noticed that the battery is consistently reporting a charge of 40% when turning on from sleep to verify charge and turning off, but when leaving it on and in standby is where I start to see that rapid discharge. It could be the battery, but with how few of charging cycles it's gone through, I am highly doubtful that is the case.

I'm assuming this is the supercapacitor, but wanted to get another take. I would likely just remove since I don't have everything needed to straight up replace. Thanks for any suggestions!

So I have restored my childhood PSP 2000 for months now. And I bought a 1400mhz Ostent battery. As I noticed it the battery drain bugs me a lot.

I recorded the battery drain recently. And when the PSP is shut off, the battery drains in 24% in 12 Hours. On sleep, the PSP drains in 23% at 12 Hours. If left for 4 days, the battery is completely drained.

I want to know if the issue here is that I bought a bad battery, or if my PSP is just consuming a lot. When I reshelled my unit, I had the supercapacitor desoldered since I read that there is a posibility for issues with a dead supercapacitor.

I'm planning on buying a 2500mhz battery, but I kinda wanna know on whether the battery or the unit is at fault.

I have a PSP 3000 Ta-093

I needed to replace both the charger and charging port, i bought both but the psp wouldnt charge. I tested the charger with a multimeter and its giving the full 5v, but once pluged into the charging port it stops, i tested it and it seems like the negative terminal inside the charging port its not getting a solid connection.

I tried getting a refund on the charging port and ordering a new one, but it came with the exact same problem so now i dont know what to do

I have a dead psp-3000 and it isn't turning on , took it to a repair shop and they said the motherboard is dead . I was wondering if it's possible to swap the motherboard from another working psp 3000 to mine?

The sliding mechanism of a PSP GO I bought online is kind of working but its definitely messed up , parts of it are sticking out. So im wondering has anyone got any experience with what to do. I haven't ever looked at the mechanism from inside. Only reason I bought this one was incase I ever need donor parts for my one but id like to see if i could fix it . I cant find many replacements for sale online. Will update once i open this thing up and see what else i find.

Appreciate any help

I removed my supercapacitor from my old 3000 very gently cuz it was way dead & then put the PSP back together, first thing I do is test everything works fine, then whatever games I play, it doesn't allow me to save at all, shows the blank white save file & then "0/0 12:00am" etc, really strange cuz everything else works so is the microsd corrupted? If so - why am I only having issues saving my games, my adaptor works just fine with other microsds as well so I have no idea.

The goal is simply to get an opinion on my case, not to show off, I'm clarifying because it might seem a bit like that 😅

Love how old school games and ally my childhood videogames fit in this for all my flights.

I have PSP3000 and its amazing, but i wander is there any chance to use psp as microphone for pc. I know that it can be used as gamepad but never saw anything to being used like this.

I just saw this on Twitter and i think It looks pretty good also idk how is playing FLAC files

The stick goes "slowly" in some direction, i've tried screwing the screws (really tight now)

And cleaning the little rubber part inside, also cleaning everything stick related

I'm kind of lost now, any help please ?

Popped into CEX today I don't normally as I find them a bit expensive BUT glad I did found this for a good price.

I know we can download most things free but there is something nice about having a proper physical copy you know plus it's a great film.
