Any Sport titles that you can play with just the D-pad?

It's because my analog stick is broken and it's until I can replace it with a new one that I'm only limited to using the D-Pad. The majority of my games are sports titles.

Game folders?

I’ve pretty much finished up customizing my PSP, I was looking around on how to install the categories lite plugin but my SEPLUGINS folder doesn’t have the VSH text file that everybody is making videos on, is there a workaround? Or am I doing something wrong?

A music track went corrupt, then it fixed itself

So I had one song in an album corrupted out of nowhere, even though it worked just fine moments ago. After checking it again it's suddenly fine, like it never happened. Does anyone know why it happens?

Battery plugin for ps menu/home menu

Im looking for a good battery plugin that only displays in the home menu or the pause menu that comes up when you hit the PS button during gameplay, not during gameplay itself.

I tried dayviewer but it crashed the psp when i tried to load games, and psphud shows at the home menu but not at the ps button menu.

Any recommendations?

Just bought a psp - no interest in modding it but it can’t connect to the internet. It scans other wifis but not mine

Just bought one with gran turismo. I’m a bit of a collector and less of a player so I don’t want to mod it but do want to connect to the internet.

It catches my neighbours wifi but not mine - anything I should do to fix that? It’s a psp 1000, and in new to the system entirely.

PSP can’t stay on.

So a while my friend gave me a PSP (Hannah Montana Purple Edition, I believe it’s the 2000 model) to throw some games on there but one thing I noticed was that it wouldn’t stay on, no matter how long it’s been on charge & no matter what charger and battery is being used (I know for a fact the battery that was in there is an aftermarket one, and I tried a Cameron Sino battery after that but the problem still persisted so I returned it once I realized it wasn’t the battery itself causing it).

I can be using it & it’ll just shut off randomly. I can lay the PSP down or have it sitting up in one position, and it’ll still turn off randomly.

Does anybody know what I can do from here?

Which is better Dungeon Maker: Hunting Ground or Dungeon Maker II: The Hidden War?

I've never played either game and just ordered the second game yesterday. Is there any reason to go ahead and buy the first game? Or is it one of those cases where if you play one, you've basically played both?

PSP Store

Just ordered my first PSP since I was a kid! I know the psp store is closed, but I wanted to to know if it's still possible to buy PSP "crossbuy" compatible games thru the still (as of now) functioning ps3 store. Sorry that was a mouth full lol.

But yea just wanted to see if Sony still allows downloading of previously purchased games to sum it up.

Lost treasure

Found my old PSP 1001 in one of my old army toughboxes! I haven’t opened it since I got back to Alaska from Afghanistan in 2013! Battery is expanded so I need to get a new one but still powers on and reads UMDs too. Time to order a new faceplate and battery. It had Kingsom Hearts Birth by Sleep in it. Found the other games inside the same box.

I was 11 when this was announced in 2004…..in the 20 years this thing has been around it’s been around the world with me

PSP to repair

Hi, recently I founded my old PSP 2000 and I wanted to replay it, the console seemed to start correctly but then I noticed that the x button wasn't working anymore and the joystick too and the l trigger button was a little hard to press. I disassembled the PSP for checking the issue. For the L button the problem was the rubber that makes you press the button, for the x button I tried ro remove the pins and then reconnect it but with no success, while for the joystick none of it really works, online I searched the components and I founded it, but then I noticed that the triggers buttons are connected with the updown buttons for example L is connected with directional pad and R is connected with the actions buttons. Now I think that I simply going to replace this components but I'm now asking if the problem could be those components, for the L trigger button that have hard press problem I think that the solution is simply replacing the component, but I'm asking if for the x button the problem could it be more deeper, maybe motherboard problem, now I would like to have an opinion, do you guys think I'd be better simply replacing this components or it could really be a motherboard issue, sorry for my bad english and thx for any help.

Need help with my Baryon Sweeper

Trying to revive my bricked PSP 1000 with a baryon sweeper that I made using u/khubik's guide but I can't seem to get the emulator to work. Whenever I try to connect the sweeper to the PSP battery pins all I get is this. I am running py as admin, double check if I'm using the right port, even re-built the baryon sweeper but to no avail. Does anyone know what's going on?

Not able to format internal memory on psp go please help

Hello there so i have had psp go for a long time and it had a bad ribbon cable for quite a while now. So i bought a new one and when i installed it it keeps on saying to me that format the internal memory card and the internal storage doesn't show up. Sometime internal memory shows up but it shows up as 0kb and not accessible. I have tried formatting it via psp system settings and it just keeps on saying format failed. I have tried to connect it to a computer but it doesn't show up there as well. It was on 6.60ofw and i was able to install 6.61ofw on it without any issues by downloading the 6.61 eboot in its M2 sdcard. I tried to install 6.61cfw via sd card but it fails. Is my internal memory fried. can't i use my pso go anymore. Please help me this is the only gaming thing that i own. I tried to find a adptor for it but its not available in my country.

i just bought my first ever psp ( 3000 ) for 38.50 dollars ( or 120 tunisian dinars ) it came with a 32 gb sd card and works great but the home button does not work ( or stuck ) but the note button replaced it's function ( somehow )

I can't install Perma CFW ( ark-4 or pro ) because of this , a lot of games can't register inputs because of this like prince of persia rival swords and crazy taxi fare wars , and ALL ps1 games are unenjoyable .stuck in a settings menu , i can press the hold menu then power and it will play and controls work fine , but its small and i can't change the screen size to full screen or any setting at all , even with the macrofire plugin , the vsh menu does not work. emulators don't work ( only retroarch works but performance isn't that great ).

i can't buy a replacement because it's expensive here in tunisia and am literally broke , and even if had money , shipping isn't available at all.

( out of topic , and i have an oem battery that lasts less then an hour and am afraid that it will explode on me at any time lmao )

if there is a way to fix it by cleaning it or something , please tell me.

here is some photos of my psp with some movies and music i have.

PSP 2001 d-pad problem

So my PSP 2001 has a weird thing going on with my dpad and it always goes right and when I press up or down it doesnt work and the only thing that works is left but the right is acting like it's held down even though it isn't. The dpad isn't loose or anything nothing wrong with the dpad buttons itself but for some reason the right Button on the dpad just acts like it's held down. Here's a video of what I mean.

Trying to find a racing game

There was this racing gams I played on the psp and it was a demo, the demo had a canyon map, and the races were destructive and you could run into eachother and blow eachother up as well as have environments blow each other up like boulders crashing into the cars, super vague sorry but anyone have a similar memory? I feel like the title was blue but I could be mis remembering that part. Any ideas?
