i no longer have any of the games disks unfortunately, need a SD card and SD card adapter plus a new battery as it only works whilst plugged in, but that’s all stuff I’ve already ordered. I’ve heard a lot recently that the jailbreaking and homebrewing on the psp is pretty easy to do, anyone here got any info on that? is it possible to get it playing games without disks? also looking for the sony psp camera but they’re expensive and rare it seems… any reply would be appreciated!

the psp is the greatest handheld ever created!!

Es imposible hacer el port de d2?

Good News for PSP Developers!

Great news for everyone interested in porting PS2 games to the PSP, creating their own game ports, or developing homebrew applications! I've released two skills for AI agents designed to help with PSP development and game porting.

Universal PS2 Recompiler - AI Skill

https://github.com/SandstoneDev/universal-ps2-recompiler This is not a recompiler tool itself. It's an AI skill containing the knowledge needed to create your own PS2 game recompiler based on PS2RC. You can use this skill with AI agents such as Claude Code to help develop your own recompiler for porting PS2 games to the PSP, using PS2RC as the foundation. You're welcome to fork the PS2RC repository for your projects. However, please credit me as the original author of PS2RC and retain the appropriate original attribution.

PSP Developer - AI Skill

https://github.com/SandstoneDev/psp-developer This skill is based on my own experience developing PSP ports. It provides AI agents with knowledge about PSP development and can be used for porting games, developing other ports, and creating homebrew applications. The goal is to make PSP development more accessible and help the community create new projects! Feel free to try these skills in your projects and share your results with the community!

Since web games are lightweight and easy to play on low specs is it possible to play them on psp without going through the tedious process of visiting website in browser. Not sure if they are compatible with psp controls. I am talking about games like Age of War, shadez, zoinkz defence, miniclips games etc. is there a way to play.those on psp.

Also I have seen websites that allows playing retro games in the browser like wolfenstien. Is there someone who has done it, I am ready to explore GitHub projects that further this development or use AI to help me build this

So I have bought a modded PSP and would like to add games and just learn a bit more about how to mod myself. I have cleared out the memory card and got some games from some websites. By now ive watched numerous videos on how to transfer the files but somehow they keep coming up as corrupted files. I've read in another post that the file name might be too long, which seems plausible given the amount of strange characters some of them have.... so long story short.

Can I simply rename iso files? Is there anything to be wary of?

Im wanting to buy a psp, i already have a memory stick but i wanna know how can i buy a good psp and where i can find some good psp stuff, please leave the best tips here

Basically question, today I came to the realization (a couple of minutes ago) that my screen got broken T_T. But I kinda have the feeling that if I spring for a new screen the IPS ones will come out one or 2 days after, plus, for some reason 2000 screens are super expensive right now (compared to when I got my previous one a couple of years back)

sorry for the bad camera quality :)

if you guys want to support me and keep the project ongoing and updated :) : https://daynasor.itch.io/re-volt-psp-native-port

Is there one ?

Are there any fun sandbox games that you guys had that cleared your boredom?

So I bought my PSP's a couple years ago (PSP Go & PSP 1000)

And I've been reading that a lot of people dislike the fact that some decide to get cases for their consoles but what is so wrong about it? Does it damage the console? Or does it actually help it preserve

PSPotify ME is a native Spotify client for the PSP. Everything runs on the console itself: login, streaming, decryption and Vorbis decoding (on the Media Engine). No PC or proxy needed.

Showcase of the new UI: https://youtu.be/5UoCwZZf08E

The previous release was mostly a proof of concept to show that native Spotify playback on the PSP is possible at all. v0.2 is the first version that’s meant to be actually used:

• New XMB-style interface, GPU-drawn at 60 fps, with album covers in every list
• Search with the on-screen keyboard (songs for now) and Recently played
• Queue: △ on any song → Add to queue; SELECT in the Queue moves songs around
• Like / unlike songs, saved to your Spotify account
• Seeking (hold L/R), shuffle and repeat
• Equalizer with 7 presets, running on the Media Engine so it costs the main CPU nothing
• Themes you can edit in Notepad, plus an option to tint the theme with the album cover
• Long tracks now stream properly (10+ minute songs play fine)

Tested on a PSP-3000.

Requires Spotify Premium, ARK CFW on 6.61 (6.60 is fine on the 1000 and Go) and a saved Wi-Fi profile.

We’re open to suggestions! If there’s a feature you’d like to see or something that bugs you, drop a comment, open an issue on GitHub or come say hi on Discord.

Thanks again to everyone who tested and sent logs!

Note on logs: the app no longer writes a log by default, to spare your Memory Stick. If something goes wrong, open PSP/GAME/PSPOTIFY/settings.ini, change debug = off to debug = on, run the app again and send the spotify.log it creates.

Hi! A week ago I posted my PSP game A Place Beyond here. Thank you all for playing it, for the bug reports and for the honest comments, good and bad. I read all of them, and a lot of this update comes straight from them. ⬇️

What's new

• The dragon's dream: lie down on the Dreamers' Bier in Vespergrave and wake up in a dream of floating islands, three acts deep, with a new boss, the Nightmare, at the bottom.
• Gliding: the dream gives you wings. Hold X in the air to glide. After the dream, its islands rise into the sky above the parish, with updrafts to ride.
• Boss intros for the Vesper Count, the Nightmare, the Tolling Warden and the Hollow Cantor.
• Letters: the gunsmith's letters and the lore pages now open on painted paper, and your journal keeps them.
• A stone bridge over the lake, a painted boat, a strange listener in the Mire, the refuge keeper, and a new loading screen.
• The ground slam is now Square after a double jump, so X is only jump, double jump and glide.

Things you told me, now fixed

• "It's too dark on a real PSP": there's a BRIGHTNESS option now (pause > OPTIONS), plus look speed, subtitles and reduced motion.
• PSP-1000: it still can't run the game (it doesn't have enough memory), but now it tells you that clearly instead of showing a confusing error. Thanks to the person who tested it in PPSSPP's PSP-1000 mode.
• ARK-4/ARK-5 "Corrupted Data": fixed since v0.9.1. The zip is now laid out so that ARK's own unzipper extracts everything. Again, I'm really sorry to the person who lost their files. Please back up your memory stick before installing any homebrew.
• The license question: someone noticed the notices listed an LGPL library. The game never actually used it; it came in automatically with the C++ runtime. v0.11 no longer contains it at all, and the notices file is updated.
• "The Source code zip on GitHub is just a readme": GitHub adds those two "Source code" archives to every release automatically. The game is the file named A-Place-Beyond-PSP-v0.11.zip.

Tested on: my PSP-2000 (6.61 PRO-C). I played every stage, the dream and all the boss intros on it, and they run smoothly. People also reported it working on a Vita with Adrenaline (thanks!), in PPSSPP and on a Linux handheld. The PSP-3000 and Go should work too; if you try one, please tell me how it runs.

How it's made (people asked last time, so here it is plainly)

• I'm a game developer and this is my side project. I design the game: the world, the levels and the mechanics.
• The look of the game comes from my illustrations.
• AI helps me a lot. Claude writes most of the code and did the whole PSP port: there's no existing engine, it's custom C++ on the PSP SDK. Some of the newer art, like the boss intro cards and the glide animations, was generated with AI (Codex), and I choose what goes into the game.
• It's still a prototype, and it's how I can build a game this size on my own.

Download (free): https://github.com/bcaa777/a-place-beyond-psp/releases/latest

Desktop version (runs in the browser): https://bcaa777.itch.io/a-place-beyond

Updating from v0.10: just copy the new EBOOT.PBP over the old one. From v0.9.x: keep data/save.bin, replace the folder, and put save.bin back. Your progress carries over.

I'd love to know what's fun, what's boring and what's broken. Bug reports are very welcome in the GitHub Issues tab.

(Screenshots and clips are from PPSSPP; the game runs the same on my PSP-2000.)

EDIT: Gameplay videos! Thank you to the people who recorded it:

• A Place Beyond - PSP Edition v0.9 beta gameplay, by PSP_DEV
• A Place Beyond on PSP / PS Vita, by VSM GAMMER

Both show v0.9, so the dream and the boss intros from this update aren't in them yet.

It's holiday! Let's pick up some games and play 🍻

Been working on this for a while: a static recompilation of Tekken DR. Not an emulator, the game's code is translated ahead of time and runs on its own.

- 60fps, internal resolution up to 4x (1920x1088)

- plays with anything: keyboard, gamepads, arcade sticks, hitboxes (with SOCD options), touch controls on phones

- PPSSPP texture packs work as they are

- runs in the browser too, nothing to install

Play: https://tkdr-recomp.pages.dev/

Code: https://github.com/gasparegas/tkdr-recomp

Menus and Quick Battle are solid, other modes are less tested, bug reports welcome.

Basically the title. Is there a proper way to restore the flaking paint on my special edition God of War PSP 3001? Any tips or tricks are appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I tried the PSPMAN homebrew because I keep seeing posts about it on Twitter. I threw in nine MP3 files I had on my hard drive. It detected two.

I read the instructions on the website, and that's apparently because it only supports MP3 files at exactly 44.1 kHz while most of my mp3s are 48 kHz. I also had an audiobook at 22 kHz that it didn't detect either.

I tried the exact same files with an old crusty homebrew music player last updated fifteen years ago, and it played seven of them without a hitch (the audiobook crashed it).

Also, I tried running PSPMan in PPSSPP to see what would happen - and it worked. That's how you know it's not using the Media Engine for audio playback - the ME is not emulated on PPSSPP since games didn't use it. I understand this is probably so they can use the same codebase for PSP and Vita but it means it's not very optimized.

I get why people like it. The GUI looks great but it's not very practical if you actually want to listen to music.

work in progress still some rendering and audio issue :)

EDIT : DROPPING LINKS TODAY STAY TUNED ( VICE CITY & RE-VOLT )

Hi, I've been looking around for this particular model, and I've noticed that some of the models have darker thumbstick and buttons than others. Is it due to the lighting, are they just dirty (thumbsticks), are some of those reshells or when they produced this particular model they used some different components? I'm attaching some pictures for comparison that I've gathered around various places in internet, is there any expert here that knows what's up? Especially between the first and last picture there is a very clear distinction between thumbstick colors. How to recognize original one in good condition? Should it be ligher or darker color of thumbstick and buttons?

With the new Kingdom Hearts Collection dropping last week, I figured it was the perfect excuse to photograph one of the cleanest PSP special editions ever made; The Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep PSP-3000 from 2010.

There's something about that silver finish, black accents, and subtle Kingdom Hearts artwork that just works. Nothing ridiculously flashy, just a genuinely beautiful handheld.

16 years later, I still think it is flat out one of the best-looking PSPs ever released.

Curious where everyone ranks this one among the other limited-edition PSP models.

Surely we're not alone here? 😅

I’ve always wanted a PSP when I was younger and while cleaning my GF place we found her old psp. A little TLC and it was up and running with Arc4

A few days later and I’m on a work trip so I decided to bring it with me.
This is fulfilling many childhood dreams rn

Also let me know what games I should check out on psp
Currently playing Jeanne D’arc and Harry Potter (PS1)

I’m from Brazil, and growing up, I always wanted a console, but my family’s religion didn’t allow us to have a TV at home, so that dream never really happened. Luckily, when my mom came back from Portugal, she brought me a legendary PSP. Honestly, I didn’t even know that thing existed at the time haha. I remember playing a ton of Ape Escape, Dragon Ball, and NFS Shift.

The PSP my mom got me was actually part of a special Cars-themed bundle that came with accessories featuring Lightning McQueen. Unfortunately, I don’t have any of it anymore since I was just a kid and ended up losing everything, but it was the same one as in the picture. 😭
