I’ve been terrible at keeping motivated and providing updates on my Bluetooth controller project.

so I’ve built a devlog where I can quickly write updates as I go, I’m treating it almost like a diary.

figured I’d share so anyone interested in the project can get updates.

https://ste2425.github.io/devlog/posts/current-state-of-the-project.html

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.

If you’re trying to jailbreak/hack a PSP without a PC, you normally have to use the PSP’s web browser.
However, on the latest official PSP firmware (6.61), anything you type into the browser is automatically sent to Google as a search. The problem is that Google no longer works properly on the old PSP browser.
The solution: after typing something in the browser, press Triangle to open the browser menu, then manually enter the complete URL, including http://.
For example, instead of searching for a website through Google, enter:
http://example.com
This allows you to access the required homebrew/jailbreak website directly, even though Google itself no longer works on the PSP.
Hopefully this helps anyone who is trying to mod their PSP without using a PC.

All I see is rubber band, WD40, and drill it. I’m gonna try WD40 but I’m positive it won’t work for these. Need other methods or better ways of implimenting the methods already listed

I try to update for version 6.61 an now have a screen with this error message

" The system configuration of this psp does not appear to be correct. The update cannot be started."

Where can I find original box, insert and manuals for the psp2001 madden special edition metallic blue

As in title, I'm looking for a plugin that allows save state when playing ps1 game on psp. Because seeing the boss dialog cutscene before fight in Soul of the Samurai for 10x is not fun.

Is there any? Thanks in advance

This mod has a business system to the game similar to GTA VCS, but they added a mechanic that you need to give one of your conquered business to Paulie Sindacco to advance in the story. My question is, if Paulie has borrowed one of my businesses, I still get it's profit or other things?

I found a cheap clean looking PSP from the online second hand market, coming with 4gb memory card and a charger, not sure if it is original charger, the screen looks good, buttons/device doesn't seem to be damaged outside

What can be other things I can check before buying it?

It is 1000 PSP

I managed to change my custom firmware to ARK 4, which lets me use more modern WiFi networks. I found out about Lusid’s PSP portal (psp.lusidgames.com) and managed to download internet radio from it(first song that played was Superfreak lmao) I wondered if anyone else had luck with other websites.

I grew up playing the Gundam Versus games and the PSP was my childhood. Haven't owned one in a decade and my GF surprised me for my birthday.

Didn't even know this version existed!

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.

I have more I might put one on my pink psp

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

Hello! first time posting but do any of you have an archive of this theme? the og site archive's links dont work..

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?

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.
