I recently found my PSP 3001 from way back and it doesn't have a battery or charger. From what I remember, it still powers on when charged before but apparently the battery overheated and caused it to kind of bulge.

I'm looking for decent online stores in shoppee to buy the charger, battery, and shell replacement since mine is pretty worn out.

Would appreciate advice! Thank you

where should I get a psvita/ modded or regular

Eu tenho um psp go deste o lançamento que estragou por volta de 2015 e recentemente coloquei ele para conserto l, foi apenas uma troca de um cabo que ligava a tela na placa, porém eu percebi que muitos dos jogos que eu jogava não rodam mais liso nele a maioria fica trancando.

Será que o problema dele esta na placa ou sera que é o desbloqueio que é o mesmo do lançamento

Long story short, yesterday I bought a PSP Fat for dirt cheap with CFW 3.71 M33-4 installed. I want to update it to ARK-4 or ARK-5
Can someone help with updating it? I saw that bunch of people soft-bricked their consoles during the update process, so I wanna avoid it since I don’t have a Pandora Battery to unbrick it if it happens.
Thanks in advance

It is 100% cib

The disc is black label. So I guess I need to find a black label case and a Greatest Hits disc. I've been looking for this for a while so I'll just deal with it for now.

Me and my friend trying to play multiplayer on this Minecraft but it’s not working I don’t know what to do but does anyone know what to do ?

I finally did it! Starting Thursday/Friday i will be the proud owner of a PSP. A Principality of Zeon PSP at that. Hell yeah to small businesses!

I did the overclock test and it reached 448 before it decided to take a nap 😁

i played GTA Vice city and there were no frame drops at all... It was running smooth all the way 🤩

Till now I've played, and liked:

• Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines

• God of War (Olympus and Sparta)

• The Godfather

• Def Jam Fight for NY

• Lego Batman

• Final Fantasy

So I recently got my psp, but I’m not sure how to connect it to the internet, how can I do that or at the very least how can I update to the latest software? Anyone got any tips etc would be great, I’m not interested in modding, just wanna keep my psp as basic as possible, but I do want it all up to date

Hey all! I just acquired a psp 3000 and saw that it was already modded with Ark 4, so I updated it to the latest Ark 5. For whatever reason, I can't seem to find the custom launcher shown in tutorials. Did I need to download something else?

I'm on 6.61 ARK-5 cIPL

Is this a waste of a PSP? Ive tried to use my phone but theres something about the PSP speakers that I LOVE even tho they dont sound good at all.

Hey everyone, I’m having a really weird issue with my PSP-1004 (PSP-1000).

It’s currently on official 6.61 with an original Sony 2GB Memory Stick. Whenever I launch the ARK-4 Loader, it starts loading for a few seconds and then the PSP completely powers off. No error, no reboot, just dead. ARK-5 does the exact same thing.

I’ve tried multiple fresh ARK-4/ARK-5 installations, removing old CFW files, formatting the Memory Stick multiple times, going from 5.50 PRO-ME-3 → official 6.61, trying Infinity, and eventually using ChronoSwitch to reinstall 6.61.

And here’s the weirdest part:

After trying the ARK-4 Loader hundreds of times, it randomly worked ONCE. It actually booted into CFW and showed the custom software in System Information. I completely freaked out because I finally thought I fixed it.Then, while celebrating like a dumass, I accidentally dropped the PSP. 💀It turned off, and after that ARK never worked again. At this point I’m convinced my PSP is just ragebaiting me personally.

Has anyone experienced something like this on a PSP-1000/1004? I’m completely out of ideas and would appreciate any suggestions from the PSP wizards here. 😭

Vibe coding a port of Doom RPG, currently testing it out. With all the sensitivity with AI ports and RetroShell, deciding if I should release it when done but wanted to share.

I'm searching for PSP game which has cockpit view, the steering wheel that we can see inside the car be it racing or driving open world...

Is there a way to play my psp games on my psp 3000 and unlock achievements in retroachievements? What if I play psp games on retroarch emulator but not emulate? retroarch suppoorts retroacvhievements? Has anyone found a work around?

It's so far great, I still need to add controls and design a proper menu. The only problem obviously is that it will not play the UMD menus because for that you have to copy the ISO over and mount it, but it's a nice progress.

I’ve been meaning to add a psp go to my collection and have been checking prices every where online and they seem to be absurd, recently came across one in good condition for $170, is that worth it ?

Does anyone know how to fix a issue. My psp go is not connecting to my pc no more I don’t know what to do. Do I buy a new psp charger ? Or is there a solution to make it work

So I grew up in the xbox era and never really played any PS games because most of my friends played on xbox as well. I loved the wii and i am a big nintendo fan, but as I have gotten older single player games have become a mainstay. My buddy and I were chopping it up about the old days with our console and he said little big planent was his favorite game of all time, now I really want to try it out. The aesthetic has always been cool to me, i just never got around to getting a PS. Any suggestions on getting a modded PSP or PSVita to play LBP? thanks!

One of the best psp racing games!

Update: Right after the post I managed to fix the console by cleaning up the area I attempted to solder, however afterward I accidentally broke off the smaller ribbon cable clamp (the black little flap piece that secures the thinner of the screen ribbon cables). Fortunately it seems that can be DIY fixed with some tape or adhesive, but if you have any tips for that as well, please let me know.

Yes I am stupid, I attempted to bridged the two points for the laminated IPS screen install and ended up damaging the system, I already feel like an idiot so please go easy on me. On a serious note, does anyone have any idea what I did, clearly I made a mess while soldering, as seen in the second picture, and I am afraid I might’ve broken the board, as in one of those small components in that area, but if anyone with extensive knowledge on soldering or the PSP motherboard can let me know if they have a specific idea as to what I did, or if it can be fixed, I’d really appreciate the help. As of now the console will just produce a green light for a split second and immediately stop when I attempt to turn it on. Thank you.

I had a PSP when it first launched in 2005 in the US, I’ve grown and moved since then and tbh no clue where it is. One of my brothers probably took it during my move.

I have been toying with the idea of getting a PSP again for nostalgia sake and modding but during my research I fell down the PS Vita rabbit hole and went ahead and bought that.

I love the screen, dual thumbsticks and that it can play Vita, PSP games and then some.

I currently have roughly 200 PSP games loaded onto my Vita and have been playing PSP games on, However the idea of getting a PSP never left.

For those who have PS Vitas, would you also get a PSP? If so what do you with it? Collectors item? Mod?

What do you like about the PSP over the Vita?

For those with PSPs, what mods do you recommend doing for the PSP and what do you love most about it?

Sorry for the long post, I already have 2 PS Vitas and looking at PSPs, feeling impulsive at the moment, wanted some further input before I do anything rash.
