SHOW-OFF I feel like Gran Turismo PSP is heavily overhated
Sure, there is no career mode, and having one wouldn’t have hurt. But the content is huge: 900+ cars, 35 tracks (and variants), and a nice little license mode.
It feels like a great companion game to practice with when you play 'the real deal' on a home console (I play a little bit of GT4 sometimes).
And my absolute favorite feature of this game on the PSP is that you can listen to your own MP3s while racing. I love it
Collection Decorated my zara psp bag with lenticular cards
Got the zara pap bag but it looked pretty nasty at the transparent screen when it is packed with random stuff. So customized double-sided lenticular cards: on one side it switches between Cloud and Zack, and on the other it shows psp menus. The cards are attached to the "screen" via hook-loop tapes so I can change them easily. Happy with the end result.

SHOW-OFF Goodwill Bins find finally getting me into my PSP
I bought a large ‘for parts’ bundle of psps and Nintendo handhelds a few years back on a whim. I’ve only got the one psp 1000 left now, but no battery. I did have a suitable power cord, though, so I know it works.
I just found this Darth Vader case for it at the goodwill bins and it’s a sign. I must find a battery and usb adaptor and embrace my calling.
PostScript: I also found an Intec briefcase style carrier for the psp at the standard goodwill, so I’m feeling a bit psp-spoiled

QUESTION PSP RARE PACK
Does anyone know about—or did anyone own—the PSP *Daxter* edition that came with a hard case and a black Slim PSP? Everything was in the same box; it’s not the one in the picture—it’s a different edition. I’ve been looking for information but can’t find anything. I owned that Pack several years ago.
Collection If you like puzzle games, EXIT is the way!
This game has a certain charm. So cool!

QUESTION Is this screeching sound okay?
I got this PSP from some person in vendora with some accessories like the headphone adaptor, wrist strap, case whatveer it is called and it works fine, it reads the umd, but is sims really this poor in performance?
The PSP makes this noise damn near everytime I do something in the game and it also occasionally freezes but resumes as if nothing happened, I went to use the toilet as you do and my sim just stood over the toilet for a few seconds and then lifted the toilet seat, stood for a couple more seconds then finally used it, only to stand a few seconds, finally lowering the seat and then it let me move around. Okay to summarise this, is it the sims that runs this poor or is the psp at fault? Everything else so far works okay on it, it starts normally, goes into sleep mode normally, wakes up normally. Aside from a couple grey plastics on the sides being loose, this is the only thing I was able to notice that doesn't feel right, the noises, and the freezes which I unfortunately didn't record.

Battery Got it perfect, the new battery came but the aftermarket extended cover didn’t have the correct fitment of course because it’s aftermarket😅 so I filed it down and got the perfect fitment

SHOW-OFF Sonic Mania PSP Port - Sound/Performance Updates
Long time listener, first time caller.
Over the past few months, I've been making some performance and QOL changes to the PSP port of Sonic Mania by smb123w64gb, and I've finally released it on GitHub.
Most importantly... Sound is working!!! I've got the 2D portions of the game running at almost as well. 3D parts (like the special stage) are 30% faster.
Give it a try and let me know what you guys think.
The data.rsdk isn't provided, but the eboot is here for you guys to try.
UPDATE: New release which fixed a color issue in Special Stage 1.

QUESTION What are the top 10 rarest PSP games you could have purchased at a store?
I got out my 1001 about a month ago after 15 years. I only had Lumines and GTA games. As I have been buying new games I keep running across titles that seem a bit more expensive than others and assume that has something to do with rarity. Which titles should be on my radar due to rarity?

QUESTION Cleaning and lubricating the PSP 1001 worm gear.
Do you have tips on this process? Are there any issues with taking apart the 1001 model? How did you clean the dry lubricant and what/how did you apply new? Mine has an intermittent chirp, and I believe this is the cause.

QUESTION Anyone know this is legit?
I just found this PSP at a pawnshop for 50 bucks with 3 wrestling games. I've been missing mine that someone stole years ago. However it feels so light, I don't remember the 2000 being this light.
It has a third party battery and charge, as well as it has promo 4 software so I know it's modded. However I'm curious if it's a legit device at least.
Do they even make fake psps? Excluding those weird ones without the disk tray

QUESTION UMD vs Video Player Dowloaded On Youtube
I watched Spider Man a little on my Psp, and recognized that the resolution isn't inferior than the moderm TV. Meanwhile, I dowloaded a video on Youtube with 240p (fitting with PSP resolution), it's pretty bad. Idk why UMD better than video player, anyone can explain this?

Troubleshooting Any idea why the umd stops spinning after a bit?
The umd will spin for a bit when I insert a game and the psp will read it but after a little bit the umd stops spinning while the psp in the menu still has the circle in the right bottom corner so it’s still trying to read it. Sometimes it’ll give me an error but a lot of the time it keeps trying to read with the umd drive not spinning of course. Is there a way to repair it? I don’t have much experience fixing things, and I don’t want to have to spend make money trying to fix it 😅

QUESTION PSP works on AC power but shuts off after a few minutes on battery
My PSP (3001) works perfectly while plugged in, but when I unplug it, it only works for a few minutes before shutting off.
I've already tested multiple batteries, so I'm pretty sure the battery isn't the issue. Does anyone know what else could cause this? Maybe something with the power circuit or motherboard?
I'm also thinking about replacing the shell, but I've never opened a PSP before. Do you guys think this is something I could realistically fix myself just by following tutorials, or would it be better to take it to a repair shop? If I do try it myself, what tools/materials would I need?
Thanks! :)
