List of presentations:

Been seeing the new music players, and really wanted the cool look of old cassette tapes without having to install and use a different music player on the PSP.

So, I made a tape visualizer!

This project is a visualizer for the PSP built-in music player. It replaces the last visualizer in the list with a classic tape that scrolls from one side to the other for 15 minutes and switches sides.

Supports pause, resume, fast-forward, and rewind.

It's an ARK-4 plugin. Super simple, install the plugin, restart the PSP, and the last visualizer will be a cute tape icon!

Built using GPT-6 Astra, if you do not want AI written code on your PSP, this project isn't for you

(Beta 1.8.1)

Bit-exact, no guesses

Tell me if you want on ps vita also, I can do it

Just scooped a psp and games for the first time since I was 13, im now 27 🥹

I’m loving this little machine! I had one as a teenager and can’t for the life of me recall any games I played on it back in the day, but glad I got one again and building up a library for it.

PSP Street battery leak - Is it salvageable or completely dead?

I dug out my PSP Street from 2011- 2012 because I still have a bunch of UMD discs I'd love to play. Unfortunately, the battery leaked during its years in storage.(Had not opened it for like 4-5 years)

even the memory card is stuck inside ..like I can't even eject it out lol.

I removed the battery hoping for a quick fix, but after seeing the rusted insides, I'm skeptical. Giving it one last look before I call it quits-what do you guys think? No false hopes :')

PicoDrive on PSP always uses the Japanese button convention in its menu (Circle = confirm). Every other stuff on the console respects your button assignment, PicoDrive just doesn't. So I found with claude, the one hardcoded line in the source causing it and swapped it: Cross now confirms, like it should for most of us.

Honestly though, I'm nervous to post this. I used AI to help me get through parts of it, and I know how much hate AI-assisted work gets lately. Plus nobody has fixed this in over a decade of PicoDrive existing, which makes me wonder if it's actually wanted, or if I'm just solving a problem nobody has.

Is this useful, or am I overthinking it?

Hello,

So basically, i had a black psp 2000 that i've put pro or infinity or lme cfw on it??? but well, it got bricked (i think idk wasn't clear + doesn't matter) so i got rid of it and sold it to a friend. that was two years ago, now, I regret it.

So, I just wanna know which psp model would be best for me to get? I have basically the modding knowledge of a 3ds homebrew users (consider I have no knowledge to modding consoles ig), so I think I would like to mod it maybe?? I

want it mainly to listen to music, watch movies, play some games? (not like super mega-intense games, more casual titles, maybe stuff like project diva since it's apparently on the psp? but like 2d platformers and puzzles games are kewl) and take pics like in that image (I'll get a silver psp to match the silver camera, and I think the black camera looks uglier + apparently it's MUCH worse)

sooo, do i get like, a pvp 1000,2000,3000 or street (for some reason)

Srry if it sounds stupid, i've forgotten all the knowledge I had on it ngl don't slime me 🙏

It's great that the PSP has so many visual novels.

I'm running into a couple of annoying issues with audio plugin vshbgm mod i tried original version too but same issues. on my PSP 3004 running ARK5

1. Audio overlap on launch (as seen in video): When launching a game, the gameboot intro plays fine, but right after its audio finishes, a 1 second snippet of the background music plugin plays before the game starts

1. Speaker popping: Every time I open the VSH menu using the ⁠Select⁠ button, the speakers make a loud crackling

Anyone know how to fix it ? I thought maybe custom gameboot with original psp intro but longer and add quite noise at the end. Idk how to fix speaker popping.

It’s actually very difficult to create a 1:1 port of the game. Right now, there’s a major issue with the game’s cameras and how they behave. There’s also a problem with textures—sometimes they’re unloaded from memory prematurely and disappear from the screen. I don’t know if we’ll be able to fix this, but it’s necessary to conserve VRAM, which is already in very short supply.

I found my PSP after years of not using it and wanted to breathe some new life into it.

When I boot up a game, it does this constantly. I thought it was regular stick drift so I removed the analog stick while I wait for a new one to come in. My new battery came in early, so I put it in to test it out and noticed it was still doing it!

This makes me think even the new stick won’t fix it :(.
My best guess is that it’s definitely something contact/mobo related but I’m not sure how to dig into that kind of fix. I’m having trouble finding a guide for that specifically.

Anyone have suggestions?

Like the title, files with this symbol keep appearing, they were 3 before (1 folder 3files) now there's more

They can't be deleted, should I format the mem card

Its a psp 3006 with pro c infinity 6.61

Let's start by saying that I've dreamed of this portable console since childhood, and now my dream has come true. For some reason, I hadn't seen any reviews of photos and videos from this camera, so I decided to take them myself.

In my review, I'll show photos from my camera, some video tests, and share my impressions.

Well, I don't think there's much point in talking about the PSP3000, but the camera is more interesting. Let's start by saying that this is truly a camera that captures the spirit of the 2000s. I really like the lens flare, the poor quality, and the vibe. Below, I've attached some photos I took with it in Moscow. You can check them out, by the way.

The whole kit cost me $80, and for my geeky nature, it's a real treat. It's fascinating to understand the firmware, how everything was set up back in the day, and so on. I am also interested in games and I am currently playing them.

Hello! I'm making a native port of a game I made 9 years ago when I was 15, and I wanted to ask if you'd like me to share the PSP file since I need feedback to improve pretty much everything ^^" I'm making the port with Claude, basically vibe coding, but the graphics and I'd try to have the sound made by humans and not AI.

(The video is of the version I made in 2017 for PC, the PSP port is practically the same, I just added a few things with AI, for example a Minecraft-like splash screen, a resource pack system, a language system, and a settings button in the pause menu; the rest is identical to the original)

(By the way, I made the textures myself xD I don't know how to make textures in 2D, let alone 3D, I'm really bad at these things ^^")

Hi everyone

I'm trying to find the best possible replacement in terms of image quality, brightness, colors, and reliability. I'd prefer an OEM-quality screen or a proven alternative rather than a cheap replacement with poor colors or viewing angles.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

If you've replaced your PSP-2000 screen recently, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience!

Thanks in advance! 🙏

There's such a big difference between the original and the IPS... The sharpness, brightness, colors and the fact that i don't have to worry about dust anymore... It's great!

The worst part about this mod was taking out the face plate so the laminated screen can fit through the case 😭 idk what glue they used but that screen wasn't coming out

I bought a new battery for my psp 3004. I have not used it in ten years because it wasnt charging and the battery was swollen so I tossed it away. With the new battery It worked alright but I made a stupid mistake. I couldn’t find my original charger so I used a laptop charger and now psp won’t open. I did find the psp charger and it’s not working at all. Does this mean my psp is now dead?

I was playing the Plants vs Zombies remake and it crashed my system. Now it won’t turn on if it has the memory card in. It turns on if I remove the memory card and take out then reinsert the battery but under no other conditions.

It still reads the memory card if I put it in after turning it on but I have game categories on so I can’t access anything on the card without rebooting the system, and it won’t reboot unless I remove the memory card.

Any suggestions on this one? PSP3000 running ARK5 cfw 6.61
