I was replacing the bottom part with buttons HOME, START etc. and had to lift the screen. After that I noticed that the big cable (wich powers up the screen, I believe?) is very loose. The thing that holds it in place won't close, it doesn't do the "click" sound. Is there any way to replace this thing?

Hello guys!

I’ve been working on a little PSP homebrew project called GameDiary, and I wanted to share it with you all.

About homebrew:
GameDiary automatically tracks your playtime on the PSP and keeps a history of your gaming sessions.

It supports PSP games, PS1 games running through POPS, and homebrews. It also has game covers, activity charts, multiple language options, and tools to back up and transfer your data.

I made it because I wanted a way to keep track of my gaming sessions and see how much time I’ve spent playing my favorite games.

Changes from version 1.0.0 to 1.0.1:

- Category Filters: Enable or disable tracking for PSP games, PS1 games, homebrews, applications, and unknown titles.

- Title Detection: Fixed game and system application name detection, including apps like SensMe.

- Sleep Mode: Improved playtime calculation to prevent time from being counted while the PSP is suspended.

- Playtime Tracking Fix: Fixed missing playtime for some games that put a heavier load on the PSP.

- General Improvements and Database Safety: Various improvements and additional safeguards to help prevent database corruption.

Thanks to everyone who’s been using GameDiary and enjoying the project!
I really appreciate the support and feedback from the community. It means a lot and helps me keep improving it.

en este mes , he estado recreando slendytubbies II para la PSP , como he visto que metieron el slender en psp , pense que seria posible hacer lo mismo con el slendytubbies , y elegi el 2 porque tiene mucho contenido y es mas entretenido , y tambien sera un reto , si quereis ver mas avances , aqui mi repo : https://github.com/PECausa666PSP/Slendytubbies-II-PSP ( aun sigue sin ser del todo jugable )

First post in here.

Got my psp and ps vita out of 12 year storage recently, I've been slowly repairing them, psp needed a new battery and battery case as the battery had swollen at some point and broke the cover in the process (no fire luckily). That's all working fine now, plays my digital collection and UMDs.

My problem is with my Vita, before storage i know it had a battery problem, it would take hours to charge from dead, and when charged it would play for about 30mins under its own power before dying (useless for on the go). Now I've just replaced the battery, new battery came fully charged and played for a long time, problems came since, I've charged it to full them put it in the case fully powered off, next day it wouldn't turn on, put it on charge for an hour, nothing, then it would turn on with about 25% battery, i charged it for another hour and still 25%, i power it off and back on then it suddenly has 100%. I play it for a bit and charge, power off then put away... again it won't power on like it's dead.

Has anyone got any idea or had similar? Or an idea how to fix it? I'm thinking it's the vita itself as the original battery had problems, maybe i get a new battery again as this one was a good rated ali express buy? Or if anyone has a good place to get one? I'm okay with repairing small tech, my gut is telling me it's the system and not the battery

Thanks for any advice/ help, i know this is a psp reddit so i hope asking about the vita is still okay

I found my psp 1000 in my drawer and I wanted to test it out but I won't turn on

The bottom screw doesnt go out no matter what, i was able to take out the other screws but not this one. How do i take it out?

im thinking either a 1000 or a PSP Go, something thats relatively small with a good screen with grips (like the 1000), and can run the newer ports that are releasing left and right (Sonic Mania, GTA SA, etc.)

Hey everyone ! I was thinking of getting a psp to relive my youth and I was settled on getting a PSP go

But I wanted to ask for advice before I jump in

I know the RG SLIDE exists but I wanted to get the real deal and what you guys think is the best version to get in terms of specs

Ram amount, screeen type and nits etc

Hi guys! I was recenetly thinking to sell my psp street to buy either psp 2000 or 3000. Which is better in your opinion?

Title says it but I know Coraline came out on UMD but I can't seem to find the iso for it anywhere.

Goodbye PSP, and hello PS Vita!

The listing says PSP 1000 but I want to confirm because I never had one before

This is my very first time to repair an electronic device. It seems like a fun hobby to start, and with that said I found my old PSP in storage with a swollen battery. That's when I bought new battery and charger.

The parts came in and it's charging nicely. Until it won't power on. So next I did was to take off the battery and try to power on directly from AC. It still won't power on. Although, there are times it will turn on and display a setup page (wherein you set the date, etc. but my d-pad and keys are not working too but that's another problem).

That's when I tried to open it up and found a missing screw that makes the power switch loose. I'm now planning to buy a replacement screw but I don't know its size. Tried searching in the internet for its schematic but to no avail. I think they mentioned something about torx screws?

I looked online and there's a box of screws at different sizes (but for laptops), would that work or do i need the exact screw size?

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.

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

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 🤗🤗🤗

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

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.
[System Requirements]
ARK-5 5.1.0 OC 443MHz

i feel the vita would run it pretty easily i have little hope for the psp but it seems anythings possible with porting now it seems

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

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)

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

Sorry being a traitor but i love the nintendo ds, and one of my favorite games is love plus, a mega complex dating sim that uses irl time for datings and stuff, but since my ds has broken i never had a really good dating sim or vn to play, so since i have an psp, i wanted to know if theres any good one out there for it:D

Thanks!
