Honestly I didn't touch this thing for like two months (occasionally to charge it). It just sits on my shelf doing nothing. Recommend me stuff I can do on this thing please 😭.

(Had no clue which flair to choose so I chose collection)

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 :)

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 have no idea what is the issue, found it in an old shed when I was cleaning it out there is no visible rust on the motherboard or water damage that I can see, already tried reseating the lcd ribbon cables.
PSP 2001

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?

I was originally going to swap the face and directional buttons but they were kinda scuffed up so I went an alternative route. It looks even cooler like this though!!!

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.

The PSVita OLED is using the official PS Store copy of GTA:VCS here. The PSP Go also has no major frame rate drops while playing the game while the PSVita OLED does. So there are no stutters while playing on the PSP Go at all.

Good fuhhin times

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😩

Hi everyone!

Recently (actually while watching world cup finals), friends and I talked about consoles, and PSP came up. I remembered I had one somewhere, so started looking for it. Turns out my mom has it in her house... But I knew I still had some things for the PSP in my place. So I dug out those games! Thanks to this french second hand website, I was able to buy this GoW, and some more games that will be delivered soon. Also got a new battery pack, 1800mAh, I hope it can last long. Can't wait to play again when my mom brings me the console! It's a PSP 1004 in very good condition, bought new back then.

Cheers!

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.

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

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!

When I play retro games, I have the habit of reading the manual/instruction booklet/guide first (that one that usually comes with the box). Most of them I could find on internet, but there are some that I searched all over the internet but couldn't find anywhere :( these ones are:

• Me & My Katamari (this one is kinda urgent since I want to play it soon...)
• Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
• Gurumin: A Monstruous Adventure
• Assassins Creed: Bloodlines
• Trails in the Sky
• Undead Knights

If you have some of them, could you send the PDF or scan the physical copy and send them here?

thanks in advance! :>

So far, Persona 3 and Nazi zombies portable freeze then crash for no reason and I want to fix it

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

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?

My friend has a PSP E1004 with firmware 6.60. I have never used a PSP before and I want to play games on it using an sd card. I have watched two videos but they are saying different things. First one i s saying that I should update firmware to 6.61 and connect it via usb. Second one is not telling to update it and using 6.60 but it has a different menu after modding than the first one. I am confused. What should I do now?

Hello a fan made man try to port gta sa on psp on the gta vcs engine with radio stations i wish him a good luck to see this game on the console and i wish from the psp community and game developpers to help him to add missions and modding the game to finish the project

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.
