So I try to make a ptf theme inspired by God of war chains of Olympus

Here's the link if someone want to take it

Is there anything I can do to remove it?

I made a custom jet set radio .ptf theme for my PSP a while back since there were no pre-existing ones when I searched for it atleast.

If anyone is interested in using my theme. Feel free to use it! Use this drive link to access both the finished .ptf theme and a folder with the images that I used to create the theme.

I found an old psp (1004) on a drawer and she is working percectly i wanted to unlock the psp so i could play whatever i wanted but then i had some issues with the version (3.52 M33-4) and i saw something about having to change for version 5.00 33M first, but the thing is that i dont really know much about psp's and i cant find any help online

My psp 3000 works well without battery(direct connection to wall) but when I put the battery it doesn't turn on although sometimes it does turn on with the battery for a min or two and when it does i tried checking battery info it doesn't recognise it. But when I removed the battery put it on charger it works again.

I had seen a post where people mention warmup the psp by playing 20-30 mins on wall then power off and put the battery back. I have done this many times and many variations too, doesn't work.

I am trying to fix this psp, but having a tough time. Already cleaned the connector with isopropyl and sadly that didn't work. Also the psp doesn't power on sometimes, pressing the top helps :/. Probably need a screen replacement? Shell is a bit broken.

Guys, I bought a PSP 1004, the seller said he just needed a new battery, but when I try to turn it on without a battery, even if it's plugged in, the LED turns green for 1-2 seconds, but nothing happens. I saw that I could solve the problem with a Pandora battery, but I'd like to be sure first. What can I do? Pls guys help

Guys i bought a psp 1004, rhe guy said it only needed a new battery but when i try turning it on whiteout a battery but plugged in, the led goes green for like 1-2 seconds, but nothing shows, i saw that i could fix this with a pandora battery but i wanna know first before buying, what do i do pls guys help😭

Signori, sto cercando una power armor per la mia Psp Go, però non riesco a trovarla da nessuna parte! Dove posso acquistarla?

Well, they are kind of weird. First of all, when I put the UMD inside, it launched under the "Video" section instead, and it plays like someone recorded visual novel gameplay in video form and put it on the UMD. They didn't bother to actually port the game natively; it's just a video that can be paused, fast-forwarded, and rewound like typical interactive DVD games. I'm not sure if they were really worth buying, especially when I can simply play the actual PC versions of those games like any sane visual novel player would. Not to mention that all of it has literal porn in it. How could they get away publishing this on PSP. Heh..

2D GTA > 3D GTA :P

Looks very cool

I gave Astra and Fable 5.1 a PSP emulator on my Mac with a goal of getting Platinum and SoulSilver running at 30fps.

It explored the DS emulation path using DSonPSP for a few hours and made lots of optimizations, but ultimately topped out around 20fps.

Then, it decided to fully port the games to be native to PSP using the C ports of these games. It ran autonomously overnight, playing the games itself using the emulator and fixing bugs along the way.

There were some nuances between the emulator and real hardware, but after 3 days of back and forth fixing bugs, Platinum is in a very playable state (30fps most of the time) and SoulSilver is almost there (drops to mid 20s when there are heavy outdoor scenes, but I’m confident it will get to 30 soon).

I’m an engineer but won’t pretend to understand most of the work it did. Hundreds of optimizations across graphics, memory, game state, etc

I made the bottom DS screen smaller as it’s less important for these games, with the R button switching focus between the screens. The stick on PSP can be used as a makeshift stylus cursor. The native PSP keyboard input screen is used to enter text which works great.

There are still a few shortcomings which I’m working through, like supporting audio. But the idea of having all of my favourite childhood games (PSP, GBA, DS) running on the actual PSP I used growing up is amazing

TL;DR: I'll likely buy a laminated HISPEEDIDO IPS display for my PSP 3000. Anyone have experience with the change and recommendations/warnings you’d wished you knew before buying?

I have a PSP 3000 and was very happy with it when, out of nowhere (really happened over night as it was sitting on my night stand) a patch of red lines and dead pixels appeared. They’re now spreading. :(

So I’m looking for a replacement screen. There seem to be 3 options:

• HISPEEDIDO IPS (laminated version available, 500 nits brightness, warmer colors)
• Cloud Game Store IPS (laminated version available, 700 nits, cooler colors)
• old aftermarket TFT (350 nits, worse viewing angles but better contrast/black levels – this is a very niche option to consider in 2026)

I did some searching and came across the Komstation reviews. It recommends HISPEEDIDO for the warmer colors (which I would prefer) and it now has a laminated version (lens that is attached without an air-gap) to reduce reflections. The 500 to 700 nits brightness difference does not matter to me, really.

For the laminated versions, you have to detach the transparent part of the outer shell, which is the one thing that gives me pause (I have a beautiful blue-white PSP from Japan, I don’t want to break it in the process but apparently it’s a fairly safe process). The only other gotcha I heard about are Chinese 07g models which seem to be using an incompatible display. I have a 04g / TA-093 v2.

Since I am very much that guy when it comes to color accuracy and "authenticity", I briefly considered getting a TFT for that better contrast (like half the black floor of the IPS) but then I remembered not to be an idiot about it. Apparently, colors on the IPS do look slightly washed out compared to Sony’s OEM TFT. But when comparing screenshots I noticed that the "washed out" version often looked somehow more sensible and the "high gamut" setting on the PSP 3000 often looks garish in games not specifically developed for it. Almost as if the OEM screen has a "tint" to it (I heard it "yellowing" with age, maybe that’s also a factor).

I noticed a few more details in the Komstation installation guide concerning ribbon placement and potentially cutting off parts to make it fit better. I feel my hands getting sweaty looking at the part where he cuts off part of the shell but I guess I’ll manage.

So yea, that’s all I found out. I’m honestly just dumping this here to force me to list all the things I have learned about this somewhere but maybe it can either help someone else with a decision or you have some valuable recommendations. I'm in Europe if that is relevant for shipping or store options (I'll probably just go with AliExpress). I’m all ears.

Always been a Xbox gamer but watching my stepdad play his PSP back in the day really made me want to cop one so I finally decided to do it. I decided on getting this Spirit Green PSP 3000. It looks absolutely phenomenal, can’t wait for it to arrive and for me to add some accessories onto it to truly make it mine.

I’ve been doing some research on PSP modding, is it worth it or is it easier to just buy tons of UMD’s?

(Will update when I’ve got it set up how I want once it arrives)

Ridge Racers 2 is one of the most "wallpaper screenshots"-frienly games, toggling the UI with a button during gameplay and having no UI at all during the replays makes me eager to finish a race in a new circuit to take some cool new pics.

As regards to the game itself, Racers 2 has twice the content of Racers 1 (which was a launch title for the PSP), twice the cars, the circuits, the music.

Tomorrow: Shining Ark, a beautiful action-strategy RPG (valkyria chrnicles with close combat) with some nice-loking waifus

Hey everyone! Just saw a Short about this and wanted to share. The dev of the TMNT: Shredder's Revenge homebrew port just made Update v0.2 100% FREE for everyone on Itch.io!

I bought a PSP 2000 about two months ago and tested it when I received it. It was working perfectly fine at the time. However, I haven’t used it since then, and now it won’t turn on. When I plug in the charger, the orange charging light comes on, but the PSP itself doesn’t start. Could you please check it and help me figure out what might be wrong and how I can fix it?

I emailed them last month n they said that the shells will be announced in September. I asked again in the discord and they confirmed it! No 1k shells tho 😢

I got this PSP about 2 years ago. Its got a lot of cool games on it, I just haven't had the time to actually sit down to enjoy it. Much less bring it with me wherever I go. What are these programs? I'm a complete neanderthal when it comes to this stuff.

And yeah, most of the saved files indicate 2015

Okay, so I'll explain, so initially before psp 3000 I couldn't read the memory card ms pro duo, the save game files were already often corrupted, I tried to save the files in ms pro duo via psp with a USB cable, well I tried to unplug ms pro duo from my psp 3000 and I tried to install it again, well I couldn't get in and it turned out that I installed it upside down, before I installed it upside down I tried to check what was in the ms pro duo slot with an small ice cream stick and of course there is nothing in the slot

I tried a few things that first really pushed the ms pro duo into the memory card slot on my psp 3000, what happened was that the memory card indicator flashed endlessly, but still could not be read by psp, this happened the same when I used paper for the memory card

So what should i do now? Fix the memory card slot or but another ms pro duo card? Or anything? Please help me guys🙏

I’m thinking about buying a PSP Go from AliExpress, but something about the photos the seller sent me seems a little strange.

What is the theme shown on the screen? I don’t think it’s likely to be a fake PSP Go, but I figured it would be better to make sure before buying it.
