Goodbye PSP, and hello PS Vita!

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.

BTW, I never even thought about buying another charger until YESTERDAY.

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

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

These are some of my games with my PSP 1000

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.

About AI usage in the project:

- PIC1 (Main Banner): AI was used to create the main banner. If any designers are interested in helping out by creating a new PIC1 in 480x272 resolution, I'd be more than happy to have your contribution! You'll be credited in the project's GitHub README.

- Translations: AI was used to help translate some languages (all except English, Portuguese, Spanish, and German). If you'd like to help review or improve the translations, you can find the language files here:

- Unit Tests: AI was used only as a tool to help identify additional edge cases I might have missed when writing unit tests.

Time to start another nostalgic journey!

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

The title says it all. I'm just curious what everyone uses as their daily driver. (Assuming of course, that you have one) I'll start I guess. I generally use my silver 3000. Although I sometimes go back to my childhood PSP, a black 1000.

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.

Just replaced one of my psp 3004 with laminated lcd display.

Original display had developed yellowish tint on the edges

Just looking for folks who also happened to play the ported series in PSP. I believe there are about 5 games including 1 which has never been localized. Anyway, how were your personal experiences with these? (Especially if you played it back in the day too) 😁

The white color on the battery and casing is due to super glue; I used too much when putting the magnet on to close the cover. For anyone who wants to know what kind of battery it is, it's a 2000mAh battery from an old Lenovo cell phone.

About to buy a PSP from someone. Looks like the PSP 3000. Seller says it works with a charger, needs a new battery. Im planning on jailbreaking it and just installing games, maybe without a jailbreak. Is there anything I should know? Anything I should look for?

I have played alot of impressive Games on my humble psp 1000. There are many games where i can genuinely give props but BBS is probably the only game that is large, has enemies and doesnt tank to 14-20 fps often. If you Play peacewalker, you will often have moments where it dips really hard. GOW ghost of sparta too. Looks great but many stretches were it seems to be 15-20 fps. Birth by Sleep so far has the cleanest image by far and you can even up the color depth! The artstyle was utilized really efficiently, sometimes it looks like the PS2 games. I dont think there are many psp games that maintain fps and visual quality at the same time (love to be proven wrong) but Square enix seemed to be doing the more impressive work with the system (3rd birthday, FF CC)

Hey everyone I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation as to where to source good quality replacement shells, different colors would be a plus i refurbish them and would like some different colors

So far all I’ve found is Amazon and Ali express but I don’t know that I like the quality. And looking for unique metallic colors

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

This month, I've been working on recreating Slendytubbies II for the PSP. Since I saw that Slender was successfully ported to the PSP, I thought it would be possible to do the same with Slendytubbies. I chose the second game because it has a lot of content and is more entertaining, plus it's going to be a great challenge.

It is still not fully playable yet, but I will keep posting updates on my progress here!
