Hey guys this is my first psp , I was wondering is there a way to check if it’s modded ? I want to mod it but I don’t want to screw up if the previous owner already did .

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. 😭

Work in progress Simpsons Hit and Run port for the PSP. Keep in mind this is at 383 Mhz overclock, but I'm still really happy I got it running at stable 30 fps, with only some rare dips to 27-28. At 403 Mhz it's basically perfect 30 everywhere, but that is a bit unstable at least on my psp.

The standard 333 Mhz still runs 30 fps in most places but it does have some dips to 24-25 fps in a few places, but I believe that will be fixable so it will be a good experience for everyone even without overclock.

Currently only the first map and 7 missions are ported, the rest of the game will take probably some 2-3 weeks more, it's mostly implementing the other maps and missions, testing them to make sure there's no crashes and fixing any if they occur, but the technical side of the port is all mostly done.

so yeah this is the ps2 version of san andreas running on the psp (not sandstone engine, though ps2rc is made by sandstone dev) i get around 15-20 fps and its playable, i like it. you need a 2.01 pal(?i think) version of ps2 san andreas and the converter itself https://github.com/SandstoneDev/PS2RC/releases/tag/v0.1.1

doesnt work on psp 1000 though and probably wont? unless sandstone dev pulls off some crazy shenanigans... and also this means there could be even more ps2 games for the psp

How can these products still hold their beauty till now?

I mean I'm not even exaggerating.

Even though they are small by today's standards, their ergonomic design makes them easier to play.

Do you guys actively enjoy playing them?

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!

JGR (JSR) Beta 1 is here! Very excited to make this project public.

• Full source and Beta 1 are released on my Github
• Compatible with: PSP 1000/2000/3000/Go/Street
• Status: The game is fully playable (I have beaten it twice on the PSP). Note, only the main storyline has been tested for Beta 1.
• Current performance: 20-30FPS (at 333Mhz). This was the general goal for first Beta. Beta 2 will be targeting 25-30FPS (unclear if feasible).
• AI Use: GPT6-Astra + Fable5.1. If you do not want AI written code on your PSP this is not a project for you.

This is a Beta 1 release, not a final release. There are more bugs, and that's why we're doing this.

I need your help to polish the game! Please use Github Issues to submit tickets for any bugs/issues you see. Do your best to describe them and if you can include a photo that helps SO much.

Artists! If you'd like to have you work be a part of this PSP port, please DM. We can't use any official art work, so the next best thing is to have the community create something beautiful. I have placeholders for now. Note you can swap the ICON/PIC anytime with EBOOT Studio.

To install, you will need to bring your own copy of Jet Grind Radio (Dreamcast + US release).

I've included a desktop asset preparer (extractor). Open Prepare.html in Chrome (it's a local app made in web assembly). Follow the steps (~10min). Or you you can prepare the assets on device (~60min). Please let me know if the instructions are unclear.

Do not run the prepare script from the memory card on the PSP. That adds an unnecessary slowdown since the PSP write speed is much slower than your hard drive. Run the prepare script, then once complete, move the folder to the memory card

My Uncle gave me his PSP collection. Cant wait to play GoW and the GTAs..love the old school maps.

maybe end of an era but it seems like we will only be getting sloppy ai generated stuff

previously it were people who were really passionate about the psp and wanted to give it quality of life improvements or putting efforts into porting that were just mind blowing but now it's just randos with 0 coding knowledge using ai to make sloppy stuff

same thing happened with the vita community, so many ai coded ports/homebrew released in such short period of time it pushed the authentic Dev's away because it felt worthless to put any efforts

i haven't tried any of the new ai assisted stuff and i don't plan to since most of them are made by people who barely understand the code and everything was done by ai so can't be really trusted

"everything is ai now why do you care we are getting more stuff than ever" like i mentioned before it drives the actual devs away and psp is niche close hobby for the most of us, most of us use it to escape the current shitty technology era and getting invaded by ai in here too just leaves a bad taste in the mouth

there clearly is a market for people who don't care abt ai coded stuff or not but idk, things only gonna go downhill from here most likely. rant end

I have had this since release and put in crazy hours in to my psp years ago. I started bringing it along with me when I am waiting to pick up my kids from school. I even started watching movies again on it, not the best screen 😂.

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

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 just received my Go cam the cheapest cam I can find.

Did it work ? I don't know, I didn't get the battery yet. is it real tho ? It looks like it is.

Works on FAT (32 MB).
Supports custom levels even with custom assets.

An important point regarding FAT models:
After launching custom levels that contain custom assets, the game may crash later due to a lack of RAM. This doesn't always happen immediately - the crash might occur even when you aren't currently playing such a level. It's enough for the level to have been launched at some point previously. The original game and custom levels that do not use custom assets remain stable.

Custom music should be converted to .at3 files with this converter: https://github.com/dntrnk/VVVVVV-MUSIC-TO-PSP

There's a level editor that includes a script editor (though I don't think anyone will find it particularly convenient for creating levels, but still).

I showed off a mgs camo 3k. A week a so ago. Just installed a laminated ips on it

This really makes the whole experience so much better! It is optional but on by default, curious to hear thoughts?

I have bejeweled 2 and this version called "7 wonders of the ancient world"

I much rather this gameplay. The bejeweled version on psp is 👎🏿

Do you enjoy a good puzzle game on the psp?

I'm thinking about customizing my PSP-3000 and I'm curious if anyone here has ever seen or made a PSP with chameleon/color-shifting paint.

I mean the type of paint that changes colors depending on the viewing angle, like gold → orange → pink → purple → blue. Not just a regular metallic finish, and preferably a smooth finish without any patterns.

Has anyone here tried this on their own PSP, or seen someone else's build? I'd love to see pictures if you have any!

I'm also wondering how well the paint holds up on a PSP shell and whether it affects the plastic or the fit of the parts.

Any examples, advice, or experiences would be appreciated!

In 2020, I found this PSP lying around my room, I played with it a lot until it's ac adapter broke, then recently, I went to best buy to buy a ac adapter for the PSP, it worked, but then last night, when I was playing a game on it, it froze, the disc stopped spinning, I let it rest, then when I tried again, the same thing, the disc spins up, the Lazer makes a clicking noise, then the disc stops spinning. Unfortunately, it going to be put to rest until I get all the parts to restore the PSP back to new including the disc drive.

Earlier this year I went through the whole series but bbs remains my fav, I 100% it on pc but still come back to it on psp
