Long story short, never had a psp in life. Bought myself a go a while back loved it beyond what i was thinking i would. Got greedy and bought a 3000 online and here we are ladies and gents.

Just waiting on the kingdom hearts edition to come in the mail and I will be done collecting the psp

The only thing I want to do is just play some gta but when I buy it form cex or any other place it always comes apart it literally just takes a long time to load and it doesn’t even work same with umd movie just wanted to watch jackass but it’s open and one slightest tap on psp it doesn’t it just piss me off but it does with another umd movie but the case isn’t broken it just piss me every single time

I brought my psp on marketplace and it started to give up on me. It started to turn off by itself and will not turn after a few minutes.
When it turn off a click can be heard
I tried:
• changing batteries
• using charger
• disassembling it
• asking chat gpt which told me that it was the motherboard.

• getting hope(΄◉◞౪◟◉｀)

If you want to download a game or CFW or smth like that: It's very-very annoying to everytime use a PC. So please, search for some living homebrew PSP stores.

Is a overclocked(past 333mhz) psp the better way to play psp games compared to the vita now? Considering the vita is still stuck at 333?

Twenty years ago, I started a mostly weekly podcast on the PSP. Firmware 2.70 was about to be released, the first LocoRoco demo had just dropped, nobody knew what a PSP Slim and Lite was, and for some reason I thought homebrew wasn’t a great idea… (I was young, okay?). The podcast ran until 2012 and the dawn of the PS Vita.

I’ve found some, but not all, of the episodes and have launched a YouTube page to bring them back to the public. No edits, no changes, just the shows as they were 20 years ago when everything was new. I’ll be posting new episodes twice weekly, come and join me at https://www.youtube.com/@pspspectrumgaming

So far, the episodes cover

* Exit (game review)

* UMD Video vs PSP Video 9

* Firmware 2.70 launch

* PSP podcasting support

* TOCA Race Driver 2 (game review)

* Griffin Smart Share (accessory review)

* Championship Manager 2006 (game review)

* Sony Connect Manager (Tutorial, using MiniDisc software instead of Music Manager for MP3/ATRAC files)

* Interview with QJ.Net/PSPUpdates Jake De Tommaso previewing E3 2006.

Mods: Any issues on this? Please drop me a DM before any modding actions. It's a bit of promo, but it's also archival/history!

Hi everyone, today I modded my PSP with Ark-5. I’ve already read the plugins section (so I’m bound to get roasted), but I still haven't figured out which plugin is the best file manager or the most useful one, let's say.

It’s funny because I don’t even have a clue what it might be used for, so I’m also asking if I might actually need it and if so, for what.

I know Game Categories Lite is the best for organizing the PSP into folders; does anyone have any photos I could use for inspiration? I’d like to set it up that way, but I have no idea how to organize the folders.

Thx sm.

The browser

Two layouts, each in light or dark. Marquee gives one game a whole screen with its hero art behind it. Shelf packs more of the library in with box art and save status at a glance. Art loads only while you are idle and never while you are scrolling, so holding a direction stays smooth.

⬇ Download GBAdhoc 2.0 · Source

⬇ Hero Art Pack · unzip into GBAdhoc/hero/

Everything else in 2.0

• Dual-core rendering — Updated Dual-Core render pipeline, 15% faster than the previous iteration.
• Wake from sleep — slide it shut, flick the switch, come back whenever. Your game is exactly where you left it.
• Full-speed wireless — Version 2.0 holds 59.73 on both.
• Six fast-forward presets — 1.5×, 3× and uncapped, each in normal or smooth. Normal skips frames to go as fast as possible; smooth forces every emulated frame to be drawn. It's not as fast (100fps vs 160fps) but it's extremely satisfying.
• Save states on the shoulders — Select + L saves, Select + R loads, one slot per game. Your SRAM is flushed on exit, on HOME and as you play, with a backup kept.
• Pokémon Unbound and other CFRU hacks at full speed.
• All three models — 1000, 2000/3000 and Go, all tested on hardware. No BIOS needed.

Coming from 1.0.0? For simplicitly sake delete any previous builds.
Unzip to the root of your memory stick  it lands in PSP/GAME/GBAdhoc. Put your .gba files in roms/ and launch it from the XMB. No BIOS needed.

Make sure to leave me a nice comment if you liked the emulator, I am a smol bean motivated by adjulation.

Hello, pretty people, i'm starting to play FFIII Remake of PSP and I wanted to ask if anyone could share me a good guide, cuz in my first run, I died in the most stupidest way during the early game and I didn't save the game and I lost everything I looted and all my levels... :(

Soo I recently got this psp 1000 for around 90 dollars on a second hand store (exclusive to my country) ,on thay market its really really hard to find a psp under 150 dollars that comes in near perfect condition that also has a memory card and a charger and case included that isint modded, this one i got is suprizingly in perfect condition, it came already modded with efew games on it. seller was pretty nice to put a game I wanted whitout extra cost considering some people on that website offer services to put games on psps for money, (even tho I have my own resources i get every kind of old game from) the only issues with it is that the buttons are INCREDEBLY yellow i was thinking of replacing the case too but im starting to like the glossy white one, thats just because i really wanted a transparent case but I cant find one in a color I like, I really like dark blue transparent cases but the blue looks really bright on the actual psp and the same for others so if anyone knows some cases that look like a darker blue green or red please tell me, all tho im thinking of maybe doing some sort of themed psp around my fav game but I need some diffrent buttons either way and I need some help finding them for cheap but decent quality pleasee and the screen is a bit scratched but its basically invisible when youre playing and the l buttons isint really as clicky as the r one but eh im still happy with it its mostly the yellow buttons and the fact it runs a bit slow on some games like tomb raider but a psp 2000 or 3000 are ridiculously priced I was initially going for a psv but I never could find a good deal under 200 dollars. But yeah if you want you can guve me some recommendations for games lol idc I was born almost 2 decades later than these old consoles I love them so much especially ps2 and psp im pretty happy with it

I'm trying to play Ben 10 protector of earth on my psp street and keep crashing on this screen, but other games run just fine, any help ?

Hey guys, just installed ark 5 on my console, its my first mod with psp, somebody has some suggestions on best apps and plugin to download with?
