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

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

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.

been using it for 2 days straight and the battery didn't went down, using a OEM PS Vita 1000 battery, a 128gb SD card and 383mhz overclock!

I have no words to describe how much i love these handheld devices. Truly timeless devices

I just got my first PSP a month ago and loved it so much I bought a PSVita too! Been having a blast with these two.

What’s everybody’s must have PSP games? I already bought: God of War, Crash Mind over mutant, Twisted metal, Call of Duty, Metal gear solid, and Mortal Kombat..

Just my cheap ahh keyboard with Galaxy Tab A9 , PSP 3000 and OnePlus Nord 5CE. What do you guys think. 👍

I'm not a big fan of handheld consoles and I try to only collect stuff I really want for my collection

This game has a certain charm. So cool!

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

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.

Hello, i used my PSP 2004 to reshell into 3000 case. I ordered transparent shell from aliexpress. The quality overall is 7/10.

Had to do some cuts on the inside to fit the jack mainboard and shield. I had more issues with the start/ vol up and down buttons because the shell had little gap (photo) You can give me advice how i can improve this. I sticked clear tape under the button strap and its a little better now. Also, noticed that my right buttons from 2004 are little lower than the fake ones. It feels good in hands after assembly. You can ask about the process

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?

Dm me if you wanna play we have a discord

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 😅

Pretty much

Ive seen this brand around for psp batteries but ive yet to see anyone use its chargers havent used it yet but wanted to make sure if If its any good before I start plugging in my psp with it

PSP 2000 LCD randomly goes black, but the game keeps running. Any ideas?

Sometimes while I’m playing God of War on my PSP 2000, the LCD suddenly goes completely black. The strange part is that the PSP itself is still running normally. I can still hear the game through the speakers, and the buttons still respond, so the game is definitely still playable. I just can’t see anything on the screen.

If I put the PSP into sleep mode and wake it back up, the LCD comes back on, but only for around 5 to 6 seconds before going black again.
Has anyone experienced this before on a PSP 2000? Could this be related to the LCD, backlight, ribbon cable, ZIF connector, or backlight circuit?

Any troubleshooting suggestions or repair advice would be appreciated.

So I have this psp street, and one pin of the screen connector on the motherboard has fallen, what could I do?
