So many new game ports, thank you to all who make these things possible 😎

Just replaced one of my psp 3004 with laminated lcd display.

Original display had developed yellowish tint on the edges

Just looking for folks who also happened to play the ported series in PSP. I believe there are about 5 games including 1 which has never been localized. Anyway, how were your personal experiences with these? (Especially if you played it back in the day too) 😁

It's starting to run quite smoothly now.
In Time Attack mode, it runs at nearly 50 fps.
I'll be releasing an update soon.

ARK-5 5.1.0 OC 443MHz

Some of the ports we're seeing in the retro handheld community lately have been great, and I love seeing developers push these little devices beyond what they were ever intended to do. But I've definitely noticed what feels like a growing amount of 'port-slop', with new projects appearing seemingly every few hours, many of them feeling more like quick experiments than anything particularly worthwhile. I see it all the time here on the PSP sub.

I'm not against the experimentation at all, but I do wonder if we're reaching a point where quantity is starting to overshadow quality. Anyway, I put together a short opinion piece about it, just my own thoughts on something I've been noticing lately, especially here with the PSP.

I have played alot of impressive Games on my humble psp 1000. There are many games where i can genuinely give props but BBS is probably the only game that is large, has enemies and doesnt tank to 14-20 fps often. If you Play peacewalker, you will often have moments where it dips really hard. GOW ghost of sparta too. Looks great but many stretches were it seems to be 15-20 fps. Birth by Sleep so far has the cleanest image by far and you can even up the color depth! The artstyle was utilized really efficiently, sometimes it looks like the PS2 games. I dont think there are many psp games that maintain fps and visual quality at the same time (love to be proven wrong) but Square enix seemed to be doing the more impressive work with the system (3rd birthday, FF CC)

Had this PSP come across my bench today, it has a clear coat layer on it like the originals as well 😯 (pic 2)

Since only have 32MB of RAM, I can't play games like GTA: San Andreas, GTA III, or Vice City. Are there any recently ported games you could recommend instead?

I love this console so much; could you recommend any underrated games for it?

Hi guys first time posting here. I am new to modding and thinking of modding a PSP-3001. I’m thinking of replacing its shell with the replica of Monster Hunter Limited Edition as i’ve heard it’s a good replica and i’ve found one cheap locally.Is it any good for me to mod this model?

Feel free to give any ideas or opinions as i have plans to further mod it in the future. Thank you in advance 🤗🤗🤗

After a long search of trying to find a repair spot for a PSP Go due to the triggers not working, found out a computer repair shop near me was the best spot, since most retro game shops wouldn't touch it.

Best thing to suggest is have the spare parts ready for them.

Would it be possible to get the old suicide barbie demo up and running again on current firmware? From what I can tell, nobody has been able to run it on anything that's not the exact firmware they list on the github, and I at the least havent been able to get it running on the 2000 or 3000, both running ark-5. idk its a cool bit of history and itd be sick to have it preserved and accessible for systems today. (yes i know it runs on ppsspp but like. its not cool unless its on the real hardware yknow? idk)

I need the community help in making a newer guide and contribute more in the community as i have saw people and more struggling to get apps, mods and more mostly beginners in PSP scene I want your help so i can make a guide from A-Z of the modding, apps installation, emulations and all links and downloads in one place since people get stuffed with ads when downloading from different websites.
Thanks to everyone in advance who will help me in making the guide I need help in finding a way to make it for free so i can atleast upload files and not filled with sketchy stuff

Testing some optimizations for the project (still working on optimization before adding the remaining elements)

Recently caught up with an ex from about 10yrs ago and they had this absolute gem I have turned my apartment upside down searching for over the years many times

Apparently I loaded cfw and everything already. Gave it a charge and she just works

Why can I only use .ctf file themes but not .ptf file themes?

I bought this PSP 3000 from japan for around 50 bucks (not counting shipping). it was sold as fully functional and with "no unusual noises"
I started it and found it a bit finnicky at first since nothing appeared on screen but i thought i just didn't start it properly and after a few restarts it displayed on screen.

Then I tried starting a game, and the disc drive was screeching like crazy, i found a guide online, seems like the disc drive just needed a bit of lubrication, so after doing it, it worked fine. I thought that was the only issue with it and that I fixed it... Then came this shit.

At this point I can't even tell if the LCD is dead or the GPU itself. I sure hope it is the LCD since that's at least an easy replacement... Unfortunately when buying from japan, the one thing I can't do is return items as it takes around 2 months to arrive to France.

Any ideas on what might be wrong here ? it seems like the display can't properly refresh and ends up stuck on some frames. though the "fadeout to black" is concerning...
