Cleaning off corrosion

I have an extra PSP 2000 motherboard that have bits of corrosion around fuses and soldered connections of other components. How will I be able to clean or neutralize these corroded regions and is it safe to actually wash the motherboard like PC motherboards?

FYI you can play 2 player ps1 games on one PSP GO

If you connect a ps3 controller to a PSP GO, you can make that controller act as the second player in the controller settings. Bit weird as one person is holding the screen.... but use the component out cable Hook it up to a TV and its a mini portable ps1.

Brand new to modding

So I have a psp 1000 had it for 10+ years now since I was a kid. My dad modded it and put some games on a sd card, now I wanna learn how to do a little bit of that. I have zero experience.

I have a really nice windows computer pretty new. Seems adequate to do any of this.

I need help. I’m just not getting it. I have a usb cord and a SD CARD. I’ve watched several videos but still have no clue how to start.

Game recommendation: Wild Arms XF

Another game that I ended up installing and really enjoying this Saturday even is "Wild Arms XF" (PSP).

It's a turn-based RPG, released in 2008, set in a wild west inspired world where you control up to six characters in battle. Gameplay is very similar to games like Jeanne D'Arc and Final Fantasy Tactics but what I think makes this game different is the combat system. It introduces something called Vitality Points (VP) that you exhaust through your battles and if the battle goes on for too long you start losing health from your exhaustion. It also has a system where if you surround an enemy from multiple sides you do increased damage.

All together it's a beautiful turn-based RPG with some wild west flair thrown in - and with a spectacular set of music tracks in it.

Here's a video review of the game that also shows off some of the gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYnCTOnbp7E

The first image below is the game running on on Trimui SP (and it runs - and sounds - great!):

Game recommendation: Steambot Chronicles - Battle Tournament

I was lazily browsing around for games to play this weekend and came across one that almost immediately grabbed my interest.

"SteamBot Chronicles - Battle Tournament" is an action-adventure game that released on the PSP back in 2009.

Set in a steampunk-inspired world, you take on the role of a Trotmobile (like a Mech bot) pilot in Orion City, aiming to win the prestigious Trotmobile gladiator tournament.

What's great about this game is that it's not all about bot-fighting but there's a lot of story and side-quests as you discover this steam punk world. You eventually gain access to the arena where you start earning money so you can upgrade your mech...I mean TrotMobile to be an even stronger killing machine with missiles and guns!

Another thing that I enjoyed is the beautifully hand-drawn art in the game - it adds to the steampunk feeling.

Here's a video reviewing the game and showing off the gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9OUeKHPoBY

First image below shows the game running on my Trimui SP (on which it runs beautifully):

Is there a difference between older and newer PSP 1000 screens?

I have a Japan launch PSP from 2004 and just yesterday got a metallic blue PSP that was made in 2008. Both have very little use and could be passed off as new. The screen on the metallic blue one just seems a little more deeper and more vivid. I had heard there was a slight revision to the 1000 model just before or around when the 2000 model came out. Does anyone know of any differences between older and newer screen?

Making my PSP my music player

https://preview.redd.it/h6wnj5y9jzzd1.jpg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95c32f8a76d44dce357ee571f3998d7e8e40da03

Hi folks! I've been trying to move my music habits back to devices and start avoiding streaming. I've long noticed I'm becoming unsatisfied with my habits and the Spotify service, and learning the CEO funds military AI for Isr*el was the nail in the coffin for me to leave.

I do have a few questions for folks who use their PSP as a music player, mostly surrounding the fact that I work in music and all of my material and albums are in .wav format. And partially just asking so that these questions can maybe be google searched for someone else down the line:

  • Am I doomed to .mp3 if I want to see track numbers, album art, album name, all that? Seems unfortunately the best option if the folders only go one level deep so you can't organize folders by album
  • What's the highest bit depth and sample rate for a .wav, (or any format) the PSP can handle? The ones I tried that were just on hand on my desktop were 48k/24bit which didn't work, and 44.1k/16bit CD-quality that did work.
  • What exactly are groups, and what does switching group mode on do?
  • Will shuffle only shuffle within a folder, or across all music on the device? And does group mode affect it?

Sounds from CTF theme not working?

So I have 2 PSPs, one is a 2000 and one is a 1000. I recently found the 1000 after it had been missing for a few years and I put my memory card from the 2000 into the 1000 and everything seems to work fine except for the fact that the custom sounds and some other elements of the PS5 theme I have are not working on the 1000, but they work on the 2000. I can't seem to find what's different between them.

ITS A SAD DAY

Loaded up my modded psp to play some games and saw this. Tried P-tester to see if it was stuck but sadly I don’t think so. I most likely will need to do a screen replacement.

What is the upside of getting my PSP fixed

Hello, so I came here today to talk about a PSP I got in 2022 for Christmas, over time I accidentally dropped it various places and in a water fountain (luckily nothing in the hardware was damaged by the water) and wanted to know how feasible is it to get my crosshair, square, power slider, and screen fixed because I wanted to use my PSP and thought about as one of the first things I do when I get a job is paying for it to get those parts I mentioned fixed, I do want to note the screen is not messed up, I just hate what happened to my PSP's screen after the multiple times it got dropped. One of the reasons the power button needs to be fixed is it feels broken because once powered on, it will not turn off and the square and crosshair buttons are just un-useable.

My PSP just stopped turning on at all for no reason

Okay so.. that's very unfortunate.
The current situation is : my PSP won't ever turn on, with the battery out, in, plugged with the AC or USB.

Before that it worked perfectly. One day though the orange light next to POWER just stayed permanently on, even when unplugged or straight up turned off (the PSP was still in working order even in this weird state).
Then a few days later, every thing just stopped working at all. I tried a bunch of ways to see what was the problem, but couldn't find anything. For a while the orange light was lit up when the battery was inside, but it stopped doing that now. The light only lights up when plugged with the AC (only WITHOUT the battery installed for some reason), but other than that no sign of life.

Do you all think my console is bricked forever ?
Feel free to ask me stuff if needed
