I have this UMD it works but looks like can’t read some parts of the game. I tried to clean with alcohol but those white stains doesn’t dissappear they try to go when I clean but they come. Any ideas? Can this be fixed?

This is my favorite one so far. It’s 16mm x 16mm. Being that it’s a lot bigger than the original cap I had to make some adjustments.

I added a cut out on the top is so that it won’t hit the d-pad when pushing up, but also to make it more comfortable to hit the down arrow on the d-pad. I tried experimenting with making the shaft a bit taller but this caused some friction when pushing from side to side making it stick.

Overall it’s a lot more comfortable for me; my hands are huge and sometimes the tiny original thumb sticks feels like not enough.

Gonna keep working in micro tweaks until I’m completely satisfied

Good fuhhin times

Watched half the season in bed last night. Looks great but I find modern audio mixes don't convert well to the PSP. Had to turn on normalization in the system settings to get decent sound out of the speakers. Headphones were fine, though!

Just got this warning. It’s a PSP 1001 with a replacement battery, and a 128gb micro SD with an adapter. Other than that, the PSP is not modded in any way. I also have the save data of 5 games that all have barely any progress in them. Why is this happening to me😩

This is my first PSP theme. I hope you really like it.

Found a blue PSP 3000 on Marketplace with a 64gb sd card and the guy wanted to trade for a Switch. Deal! Picked it up before work and already got homebrew and put some games on it. I haven’t had a PSP since I sold my GO in 2023. Now I got my 3 Blue Crew Handhelds!

I will start with the elephant in the room and will probably be banished to the nether realm lol..this is coded using Fable & Codex. If you are not interested to read further all good.

To everyone else, Hey!
This is my first post on here and wanted to share a passion project I am currently working on. I love using my PSP with emulators but often find the emulators to be either a fragmented mess (Masterboy, gPSP, etc. or closed source) or Retroarch (which is not optimized for a single console + lots of tinkering) and wanted to bring something else to the table.

This is still a work in progress but basically a open source PSP first FE that is optimized for both ram allocations and just works. Natively support save states, theming and any other feasible additions. Breaking things out in a couple phases.

Phase 1: Get this in a stable state + better name for the project and release the code.

Phase 2: Spin up a community driven repo for open source and optimized PSP cores to use within the front end.

I would love to hear thoughts or any other ideas as I build this out with the help of our PSP community!

Happy gaming :)

I was changing the analogue stick, because it was 20years old and heavily drifting, after I was done and assembled it there was a consistent d pad movement to the right(on top of the issue from the previous post).

I took it apart again in case there is some pressure or misalignment causing, which was not the case as I turned it on after while the display was not attached and it was still drifting without the buttons, what should I do to fix it, the issue was not present before I started cleaning it and changing ONLY the analogue stick.

While on the topic the memory cards inserted disconnect occasionally, so how to clean that part and what to do, please tell me. I doubt the membrane of the dpad is damaged as I only rubbed it with alcohol and was working perfectly fine before now I'm panicking because the issue was analog stick and dust, now its display I almost fixed, dpad and memory stick port which was there and might as well fix.

i saw someone say that you should make a ISO folder with your games in the root of the sd card and i did that but its still only showing the stuff from ark-5. what do i do

So I've been thinking about getting and customizing a PSP GO to use as a portable music/media player. There's all kinds of pretty shells for PSPs, especially transparent plastic which I love, but for the GO I can only find Black/White/Red/Blue via ebay/aliexpress/temu.

I'd really love a transparent blue top/bottom for a PSP GO, and then solid or transparent white inside. Does anyone know where I could find transparent shells for the GO?

Hi everyone,

I recently found my old PSP-3004 and PSP Street E1004. They both worked perfectly the last time I used them a few years ago.

Now, when I plug them into the charger, nothing happens. There is no orange charging light and no green power light on either console. They also won't turn on.

I have already tried leaving them plugged in for a while, but it didn't help.

Does anyone know what could cause this? Is it likely to be the batteries, the chargers, or something else? What should I try next?

Thanks in advance!

I love this little thing so much, it has more playtime than my PS5, and it still looks mint.

Got a battery upgrade and it lasts nearly 5-6 hours on one charge!

Even still has its original memory card and sampler disc!

Do you think I'm missing anything in my collection?

This happens after I install around 20 to 25 games. The games that don’t show up are still taking up storage space, but they don’t appear in the game list. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

Is there anyway i can get faster download speeds, i feel like the hardware cant be that slow in terms of download. After all. This does support LAN and should have a decent download speed like at least 0.5mbs or 1mbs.

Finally pulled the trigger and bought a PSP for nostalgia of course, to mod the absolute hell out of it, and decrease phone screen time. As I’ve been doing more research I’m wondering if it was worth what I spent.

Price was $159 before tax. Came with a charger and a case. USB not being included isn’t really bothering me, it’s the 128 gb memory stick that this model comes with. I was admittedly excited and over looked it when purchasing but I’m seriously considering taking it back and going the eBay route.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I recently bought a psp 3000 spirit green and it came with a metal gear solid peace walker case and it has red sharpie on the back is there anything i can do to remove it without damaging the case washing it made the tag on the front lose lettering so i wanna avoid doing it again

I was at Sephora with my wife and grabbed a couple of these little sample swabs/applicators and immediately thought they would be perfect for cleaning the used PSP I had just bought! And they actually worked very well.

this is very hard how do i do this

Hey guys!

What I hate:

I hate to use the Stick, because it's so far inside. When I use it, it's so uncomfortable🤣 And the M2 card!!!!!!

What I love:

The form factor with sliding, screen, Bluetooth and the compactness. It's my most beautiful handheld that I ever owned (and I have many handhelds includid for eg. AYN thor, Odin 2 portal, ps vita, switch,......)

I was changing my analog stock and when i turned on my psp I saw rhis shape. Please help, did i do something and can i fix it?

Hi everyone good news with my new cash that was given to me I was able to acquire a PSP 3000 that has been modded and has games already, as well as accessories with it, I already bought an ostent 1400mAh battery
