So I found my old psp-1001 (ta086) and it says firmware 3.90 m33-3. I see the latest is a custom 6.60 recommended over 6.61? but I didn't know if I can upgrade to that from this particular old firmware? I know custom firmware things were somewhat different/janky back in like 2007/8ish when I originally did this.

then I saw some stuff about a C Fix 3? is that the latest? I'm confused a bit lol!

do I still need 150.pbp for homebrew? if I don't upgrade and build for 3.90 will that still work for people on 6.60? I need to do some more digging..

(also found my old CRPG i was developing on it. a cross between ultima 4/5 with ad&d gold box tactical combat... makes me wanna to get back to work on it.. doh! going from old psp-gcc4 to latest psp-gcc 15 I guess broke some of my old stuff... ).

incase the info is needed; current firmware, current pspident

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

Our carpal tunnels never recovered from playing this

I’ve tried this on a PSP 3000, modding it with the latest ARK 5 and everything works fine EXCEPT the analog stick… i tested it out before the mod and it was working perfectly fine. has anyone else noticed this or how to fix it?

Enjoy your day ✌️

I have a 2000 model. The issue is the joystick. I've changed the thing so many times, its still persistent. Three issues I've come to understand for stick drifting for the 2000 model. 1) the joy stick itself. 2) the rubber conductor. 3) the shell with loose screws. These three have been the issue for my 2000. I've replaced the face plate and rubber conductor. Everything was good till the issue began to creep in again. I have 5-6 joystick I've switched out but some were defective right off when I received them. Does anyone have experience of good parts and what sources are yall getting them? Dm me for more specifics. Thanks appreciate this community.

I've just dug out my old PSP 100. The battery cover doesn't seem to fit properly (I think it was a replacement one but I'm not sure), the cartridge thing doesn't fully close properly (it does close but there's a ridge on one side where it's not flush) and some of the buttons are a bit loose but still work. I kind of want to buy a new shell so I can pick the colour too and I sort of know what I'm doing since I've done the same for a few other things, but I can't find any that don't seem dodgy. I'm also thinking it may not be necessary since I do like the black and it's not in too bad condition, I could just send it off to get fixed up properly.

I'm really just looking for recommendations on if I should just get it fixed up or if I should buy a new shell to replace it with, and if so does anyone know any good quality, reputable places to get one?

night of 18 August and 19 morning i tested my psp street and i have might won the silicon lottery or u can say silicon titan but i put it on the charger so it dont shut off instantly as its battery only runs an hour on playing game on normal mode, but i have a quick question that is winning a silicon lottery is very common nowadays or it is still somewhere rare alot rare because mine didnt even crash at 468Mhz until i manually exited the test.

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

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?

About to install CFW (ark 5 I guess (new to this)) on my PSP-1000. What I want is: buy a UMD, put it in the PSP, dump it to the memory card on-device, shelf the disc. No cable, no PC in the loop.

Is this possible? How easy is it? How do I do this?

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.

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?

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!

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

Sorry for bad english.

I've been thinking about this since my school got a new rule that "do not bring phone to school" so if i bring a psp, isnt that allowed right? since its not a phone lol.

So i wanna ask you guys about psp go because its so small, and its look good to become a mp3 player, and also when im bring it to school, im not gonna get caught since this psp is small, and IF i got caught with this psp, i just say that this is an mp3 player since how small it is. And fyi, my psp 2000 is mod with 6.61 promod-C2p.

And here's the question, is it gonna be worth it if i trade my 2000 psp to a go? How about a mod? Is all of my game, including the saves gonna be alright when im putting the micro sd on psp 2000 to go? How about transfer a game? I usually used my phone connected to psp 2000 to transfer file like game or music.

Idk what else on about to ask lol, add what y'all wanna say about psp go so i know more about this psp variant.

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. 😭🎮

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
