Some questions on psp modding

i just got a psp 3000 for modding and am wondering a couple of things. now before i start i want to mention that my psp DOES have a memory stick, 2gb to be exact. I want to mod this thing (more specifically loading linux on it but that wont be the topic of my post) but i'm pretty confused by the modding scene on this thing. I have modded consoles before and my last modded console was a 3ds but the psp is confusing. i don't have a micro sd card adapter for the memory stick and it doesn't seem clear if i need one or not, so my first question is do i need a memory stick adapter or can i do it all through usb? also there's so many firmware options, which one is best? are there any websites that go through how to mod a psp 3000? any help would be very helpful, thank you!

How do I unbrick my PSP 3000?

About a year ago I found my dad's old PSP 3000 without a battery. One of my friend said that he also had a PSP with a battery so I plugged his battery in my PSP. I wanted to play a game but then I received a popup that my system needed an update. I clicked 'update' but my friend said it would take hours to update so while it was updating, he pulled the battery out. My dad already ordered a battery so a week after he pulled out the battery the new battery came in the mail. I put the battery in the system and the only thing it did was light the green led for a few seconds and then it turned of. I think it's fully bricked without any custom firmware so does anyone know how to fix it?

HELP! PSP1000 ARK4 Games will not boot

I've redone the process several times, used chronoswitch to downgrade from 6.61 cIPL because I thought I did something wrong. Now it's 6.61 Ark-4 infinity, and the games still crash upon boot. To me it seems like it happens when it tries to create a save file for the game. Game will read, boot, make noises if the first start screen has them. Otherwise it will just black screen once it starts to think. 128gb micro SD.

Tried downloading a 100% file and into savedata file. Didn't work. Games still won't boot. Tried several games in several formats, in several files, nothing. Please someone help me out here, I'm so stumped and want to have fun with this thing, not frustration every time I make an attempt. I currently have the files in a folder named iso on the root.

Also custom launcher will crash only after an attempt to run a game, I then have to reformat the drive via the PSP because it will jumble a folder on the drive into Chinese jibberish, To restart I format, download ark loader to game, ark12345 to save, run on psp, infinity to game, run, and then the game file from the pc to iso on root to try again and inevitably fail.

If anyone would be so kind to send me a dm with photos of how your files are set up to work, or comment and walk me through this I would be so appreciative. Homebrew on the PS3 went amazingly, as well as being able to play PS2 emulation on it. I have no idea why this is so hard for me.

PSP 3001 Screen tearing

Its on the latest CFW (Ark 4 cipl r150). The screen tearing itself seems to be directly correlated to the games graphics demand. For example, theres no screentearing in video playback or NES emulation, same goes for undemanding games like Lumines 2. The problem arises in demanding games like God of War or Star Wars Battlefront 2. When the game chugs it gets worse too. The screen is a little yellowed, but I hear thats a part of age and should be unrelated. Playing games off of memory stick as opposed to UMD also seemed to help (Daxter used to have horrible screentearing on UMD but running it on the memory stick has presented little to no screentearing at all), however SWB2 and GoW have screentearing on memory stick (I dont have them on UMD so I cant check). Is this normal for a PSP, or is this a hardware/software issue? Any help is appreciated.

Why no PSP-3000 with an IPS mod?

The title says it all. Why is there no IPS mod for the 3000 like the 1000? If anyone has any technical answers I'd be most appreciative.

I don't expect the " it doesn't exist and be happy " answers to be most helpful.

Just anything technical please. Thank you

LPTFFFFFFFE error when upgrading

Bought a used PSP 3000 model a couple of days ago which had 6.61 pro firmware installed. Upgraded to ark4 after removing first PRO with chrono switch. Decided to reinstall 6.61 but got an error LPTFFFFFFFE at 87%. Decided to try downgrade to 6.60 afterwards to see if the error will happen again and it did. Upgraded to 6.61 again got the same error but finished the ark4 upgrade. The psp seems to play fine psp, ps1 games and emulators but what the hell with error? Ignore it or I must do something about it? I don't know if it is related but umd drive isn't working. I followed this guide https://youtu.be/N-WYctPXFb8?si=j74nUQEsHxKJ9ULF by Blaine Locklair

Can anyone tell me how I can get ARK 4 permanently installed instead of having to boot it each time?

I did it once, but I don't know how to do it for a 3000 model.

Time to buy a 3D printer! Zac Builds' latest PSP mod is insane: USB-C port, upgraded battery, IPS display, clear shell, dual microSD adapter, wireless charging, custom firmware, and 3D-printed internal tweaks!

Psp mod

I just got my psps today, a 2000 & 3000. To mod them do I need both a memory stick and a sd card? Or would I be okay with just one? Which one do you recommend for modding?

Battlezone PSP extract

Hello, does anyone have any idea how to open or otherwise extract Battlezone PSP data? Models seem to be in Rhino 3d .rws format, which any available version cannot open. Textures are .txd which I haven't been able to find anything for them including the GTA texture finder.

MVSPSP problems with PSP 3000?

I just bought a 3000 model and the neo geo emulator mvspsp doesn't seem to work. Tried the version I had installed in my 2000 model 2.2.5 and it doesn't work. It says this is for 2000 models only. Googled and found version 2.3.1 but the roms when loading giving me CRC32 error. I have 6.61 ark-4 firmware if that means something. Could someone help me? Mvspsp was working perfectly at my 2000 model.
