Top voted answer wins the spot at the end of today (10/4/24). I’ll post the next one tomorrow.

Credit for the idea to u/riovas

Took apart my 2000 the other day to replace the flex cable for the right control pad, and after putting it back together, it seems my R button is sticking. What I can’t figure out is whether it’s physically sticking or if I broke something while installing the flex cable.

I’ve been meaning to open it up and take the R button off to test but I haven’t gotten around to doing it yet, so I was just wondering if anyone here had any ideas or tips. Thanks in advance!

I have been thinking about buying a PSP, however i never owned one. I initially wanted to get a PSP 3000, but they are kind of hard to come across where i live (don't want to purchase online) and ended up finding a PSP 2000 Final Fantasy Crisis Core edition at around 100 bucks, in pretty good condition with only a few scratches on the back ring, with a charger and a new battery. I have done a bit of research but still not sure if it is worth it.

Any comments on the price? Any advice or tips for a potential future user?

Hey everyone, I’m finishing up my PSP reshell, but the screws don’t seem to fit properly in the new shell. As you can see in the image, the screws won’t go down any further. Has anyone else experienced this? How can I fix it?

hey all, here is a theme I found while browsing older posts about where to find psp themes online and came across this website and it had a sheena ringo theme I really wanted but there are no downloads to any themes on the website and looks more like a showcase of the themes. here is the link to the theme on the website:

if anyone can find where I can download this theme I would really appreciate it!

As much as I love emulation, the OG psp just feels right. Wish rockstar would make this game again.

I wish psvita or psp can run this game. Such a great game.

Is a psp 3000 with these scratch marks on the screen worth it if its 35$ but it just the console itself?🤔

When I was younger, when I first got this game and console, I would keep the screen off, and listen to this playlist before I manually put MP3’s.

It's more worth it to get a Nintendo 3DS or a PSP I had a Nintendo 3DS before, but I'm thinking of exchanging it for a PSP 2000 Do you think the psp is worth it?

So im hacking my psp bc it has issues reading the UMD discs. I got the CWPRO, i got game catalog lite. It just showed the South Park game from the ps1, but it showed TS2 and Parapa2 as corrupted files.

I had to: 1- Put the ISO folder, with both game isos intact, on games 2- Then put the ISO folder on the memory stick's root 3- Then i extracted the iso files in the ISO folder and puted back on the GAME folder 4- Then put the ISO folder on the PSP folder (didnt showed up both games) 5- And finally i put the ISO folder back at the memory stick's root.

And all lead to corrupted files.

I need to know how to solve this problem. Need answears please.

I was looking at PSP consoles and had a few question for all you PSP pros. sorry I don’t remember how to make bullets. Q1- I see lots of models listed as Imports, any reason to shy away from these or will they play my current library? Q2- Vitas are about the same price, I used to have one, but IIRC it played my digital PSP games, am I misremembering?

Mines Gotta Be The Dragon Ball Z Series Love It!!!!

Looking to get me and my bud a psp, what is a good place to get them from for a good price?

I was charging a psp I found around the house. I turned it on while it was charging and was trying to connect to my WiFi and I heard a pop. It was the battery case opening do to the battery swelling I think. now it won’t click back in to the battery slot and battery door won’t close. Can it be saved or is it no good? Hope it didn’t damage the psp smh.

Why does some games let me pause and others it doesn’t

Episode 85: Half Minute Hero (PSP), Odin Sphere Leifthrasir (PS Vita)

Hi Podfans

We're powering our PSP and PS Vita this week with two games that have a bit of genre fusion occurring...

Over in 'PSP Plaza' we have Half Minute Hero (2009, PSP), a part RPG, RTS, SHMUP and action adventure all thrown into one title. Fazz has never really played anything like it on the PSP before and well... we're not sure he's played a better game on the PSP... ever!

Managing to cram so many genre twists into a 12 hour handheld experience indicates someone used their time better in the game development than the Time Goddess does just raking in the moolah and abusing our heroes.

Meanwhile on 'PS Vita Vista', we're increasingly concerned about the depth of the Vita's back catalogue. Thankfully, Rich has sourced a very good genre mashup game in the guise of sidescrolling/Beat 'em up/RPG remake Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir (2016, PS Vita).

Odin Sphere was released in 2007 in the death throes of the PS2 era but it was deemed worthy enough to receive a shiny upgrade for the next generation nine years later. The game garnered very positive reviews at the time of release across all consoles. Does Rich think that it is a well rounded experience worth having in his hands?

Enjoy the pod.

The eBay listing did say messed up cfw. It only boots up and doesn't go further

So I have a PSP-1000. I got it from person who loved to modify things and network connection is not working, so there is a chance that it might be modded. But I got it like 15 years ago and can't confirm with them if it was actually modded. So, is there any way to check if my PSP was modded, especially the screen?
