Hello everyone.

As suggested, the PSP 3000 drift issue should be caused by pin contact problems. I have ordered 99% Isopropyl alcohol, cleaned both the ribbon cables contacts, and the connector itself (at least I hope so, it’s extremely small)

It did not fix my issue……

What next? Should I take apart the stick itself somehow? I couldn’t see a way in sadly…

An Aliexpress replacement stick is already on the way, but I would rather fix this one if possible…

Thanks for any helpful suggestion in advance

Pessoal estou com um problema não consigo fazer esse jogo funcionar no meu psp 1001 só aparece que está corrompido

I know the street version is less popular here but the bundle seems good to buy

Playing some kof 98 on the psp via the neogeo cd emulator rn while traveling on the bus today! =) what are yall playing rn on your psps?

Got a mad notion to display my UMDs on ikea picture shelving as ive been collecting alot of cheap movies lately.

it can’t go past 0 percent and when i tried to cancel the transfer. an old game appeared which even tho i delete it it always comeback.

Hi, I just bought a PSP Go, and whenever I launch a game, it crashes or shuts down after a few seconds. Sometimes, I have to wait for an hour or hold down several buttons at the same time before I can turn it back on.
Could this be caused by the battery, or could it be related to the CFW?
It happens regardless of whether the charger is connected or not. Even when the charging cable is plugged in, the PSP still crashes or shuts down.

Second video:
I also have to try several times, randomly pressing different button combinations to get it to turn back on, just like in the second video. There doesn’t seem to be any consistent combination that works—it’s completely random.

So Today i just receive my psp 1000 that i bought used from china, but the system is 6.60 pro c2 infinity, And they include 64gb with bunch of chinese region (i guess because title are in chinese). and bunch of emulator that i wont probably use. So im think to format the sd card and install Ark 4. I werre thinking to factory reset my psp, should I do it or should I just format the Sd card and install new CFW and english version of the game?

Good morning!

I need some help with a PSP 3001. I’m an electronics technician, but I specialize in a different area; I received a PSP motherboard with a missing component, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is or what it's called.

Thanks in advance.

I recently picked up a PSP1000, I'm loving it, but the screen is just so bad. I want something with more brightness and better colors, and I came across the laminated and Non laminated IPS displays. From the guide on Komstation, they're the same screen, so not as bright as the others (?). Wondering which I should go with. I love the glossy original faceplate with unified crystal, and kinda hate how the newly matte faceplate without logos just makes the PSP look like a generic handheld. What's the best option here? The laminated display is also about 50% more expensive (21 euros vs 35 euros for the laminated). Has anyone tried out the non-laminated version?

Mom found those laying around the house and gave then to me after visiting, they belonged to my younger brother and he was a video game destroyer when we where kids.

Top is jailbroken and wont stay on if not connected to a charger, bottoms X button won't work.

Thing is my husband always wanted one when he was a kid but couldn't afford it and I thought about fixing them so he could use it.

Is it a dead case or are they fixable? Can I swap the pieces between those two a get a working one?

Just got from garage sale for insane deal but got home and realized the joystick? Is missing

Hey,

I've got two PSP 3000 models. One of them has a problem with the UMD Drive, where it only reads the UMD, when I press a little harder in the back of the drive door.

The other one has no problems with reading UMDs.

Now I've found out, that one of them uses two things to start the UMD going: one is the black switch that toggles when the UMD press against it, and the other one toggles when the UMD door is shut.

Now to my problem/question:

The other PSP does not have this switch for the door. Because of that it reads all UMDs without problems.

Is this a sign that I've got a fake 3000? I don't really understand, why one model has this switch but the other don't.

I've uploaded two pictures where you can see the switch for the UMD door.

Have you guys. ever wondered. what it be like. to woke up in 2009. and logging and creating a account on the psp. its like your decades late for the party. i just recently got a psp 3000. everytime. i look at that storefront. i get a bang of missing the party. its like a isolated lonely place. which used to be full of content and players and more

also sometimes i wonder. was there ever a famous last stand of the psp. like with halo 2 and 3ds.

So i plugged in a 60watt charger from my laptop into my psp,and now it dosnt turn on...neither from the charger or the battery how g

f*cked up am I?

I still need to extract the pictures…

Who's gonna tell him?

I’ve had this idea for a PSP GTA-style game set in San Fierro. You would play as a member of the San Fierro Rifa. I’ve never made a game before and honestly have no idea how to actually make one , but I already have some ideas for the characters, gangs, and map. I just think it would be really cool to see something like this on PSP, so I wanted to share the idea and see if anyone would be interested in it.

A few days ago, I installed a new shell and an IPS screen. When I finished, I noticed this light bleed. I took off the front faceplate and the bleed disappeared, so I tried readjusting it. However, whenever I put the faceplate back on, the light bleed comes back.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if these IPS screens are just like this. Have any of you had similar experiences or have any advice?

Sorry if the picture is very dark, I took it that way so the light bleed is easier to see.

Hello reddittors.

It’s been some years since I took out my PSP. I spent quite some time to troubleshoot but can’t seem to find the answers to do so hoping someone can help.

So here’s some background. I’m trying to update myself to ARK-5.

Was running 5.50 Gen-D3. Tried to update to OFW 6.61 with this process from PSPunk & it got stuck in a 99% to 84% loop. Force shutdown at 99% as some past threads said. Devices boots up fine and shows in System as 6.61. & I know it’s not the full installation after attempting to install ARK-5, the device just does not automatically restart after running the “Game”

So I retried installation with Chronoswitch to 6.61, same 99%-84% loop, and force power off at 99%. ARK-5 does not install in this scenario. Attempted to install ARK-4 same outcome.

Thereafter I used chronoswitch to 6.60, thinking 6.61 file is corrupted. Stuck in same loop 99%-84%. System setting show 6.60, but unable to install ARK-5 or ARK-4.

I do read that OFW does check on hardware last 10% of the update, I could not recall if 10+ years ago my UMD was working fine. But I attached a video for someone to help.

So now that you’ve read until here, any idea how I should proceed? Or if there’s any way to revert to 5.50 GEN D3. Or I have to fix the UMD 🤔

Thanks in advance!

I have a retroid pocket 5 and I love it. I have been emulating psp games on it but I have just been having the urge to play it natively despite a smaller screen and worse screen. I also love the idea of UMD even though I would still probably softmod it. I have never owned or even played on a psp before. Though I do collect PlayStation consoles

Is psp worth it over emulation?
