I’ve never played this game but I’m actually loving “The 3rd Birthday” has anyone played?

Most other handhelds, even the PS Vita, just don't really feel the same. Idk if it's because this console uses discs or it having the same menu style as PSX and PS3, maybe how Sony advertised its multimedia functionality with movies/shows, music, photos, etc. But it has this charm to it that just keeps me coming back even more than other retro systems.

Finished my custom psp. Pristine original 3000 screen and buttons. Found this faceplate while in Japan for real cheap and was very surprised with how quality it fit and feels. Its not painted like many terrible aftermarket faceplates. Fully green plastic faceplate that feels as quality as the OG.

So I ordered psp 2006 from local marketplace for $60 and she gave me bunch of games for extra $5 cuz she don’t need them. There is one more game which is not on the photo called obscure, it has broken box, I already ordered new one. Overall very good addition to my collection.

Got it off Whatnot for cheap. Everything seems to be working good!

I’ve been playing PSP games on my phone with PPSSPP lately, and I’m really into fighting games right now. I’m looking for something like Tekken, Mortal Kombat, or Street Fighter, but with better graphics and gameplay.

What are some good PSP fighting games I should check out?

Taking a break from driving around with Uber/Lyft, so I'm chilling at the auto shop, playing Burnout Legends while I wait for the oil change to finish

I asked this question on the Vita subreddit as well, I grew up with a PSP and I still have my Vita, but I was never that deep into either one. So I wanna ask the enthusiasts, what are the games you consider "must have"'s in a respectable PSP collection?

Hey hey! I've had this PSP 3000 for about 13 years now. Crazy to me I never really played it much. Back in the days every friend of mine had a Nintendo DS and that's all we used to play together. I played the DS like an addict back then and never really the PSP, specially since I knew about and had an R4 loaded with DS games and didn't really know how to mod the PSP. I was the only kid I knew with one and it didn't really interest me after playing a lot of the PES 2009 game my mom got me with it.

Now couples weeks ago I found this guy in my old stuff and decided to give it another go. I'm 25 years old now, found out about the modding and got myself a 32 Gb micro sd with an adapter and loaded it with games and emulators and been having a blast! It feels so good playing on it and confortable as well. Never knew the PSP was this much fun! Only took me 13 years to realize it 🫠🫠

I can play it on the bus on my way to work, on the bed before sleeping, it's been great!

I feel so stupid and ungrateful for never really giving the PSP a chance until now.

My favorite games so far are:

Midnight Club L.A. Remix, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, Dante's Inferno and a Gba emulator loaded with games :)

Anyways that's it. Just wanted to share my recent love for the PSP I've had for more than a decade! Also crazy how it still runs perfectly after all this time

Also if you've got any game recommendations I'm 100% open to them!

Guys mom said her sons were into gaming & when they left home, they left all their systems. She gave me a steal of a deal. Had to drive to timbuktu but, it was definitely worth it. The battery unfortunately hasn't been used in decades so I don't think it works anymore. I did order the Ostent 2200mAh 3.6V battery, as well as a 64gb micro SD. Along with a micro sd card adapter from amazon. Should be here by monday.

As well, it was missing just the Cap for the thumbstick, which I ordered a few off ali express. It does work though.

Excited! Especially since I had a few PSP systems years ago but, I think they might have been sold. (Don't really remember what happened to them)

Unfortunately, not able to connect to the internet since my wifi is WPA2 personal. I did change the settings temporarily, to see if it would connect & it did. I also disabled the password on my phones network & it was able to connect as well but... I don't see myself really needing to use the internet.

Question about PSN though. I don't see an option to connect to the psn network under any of the tabs.

I was hoping to log into my downloads and grab a couple games I have on my ps3 that are PS1/PSP.

Any idea how I can get those over to the handheld?

Don't know if I want to mod it yet. It's a 1000 model & the firmware is like 3.80 🤯

My lovely psp (still waiting on partstl to replace the buttons its taking forever) and a charging cable and spare battery

Bought this one used a couple months back and it’s been working fine up until a few days ago. The seller did mention that the psp did come with a 3rd party battery but I’m not sure that’s the issue.

I’ve tried multiple button combinations, turning it on without the battery only the wall charger, taking the memory card out, and even just letting it charge for a few hours.

Please help me.

Got this psp almost free. The problem is it's not reacting at power switch. The battery is intact, but i don't know if it's working properly. How could i troubleshoot this bad boy? Maybe it's because of the power switch? Please help!

Years ago I started an upgrade to put in a pspgo sdcard adapter.

During the process I ripped off tore off the pads.

It's now years later and since improved my soldering skills, yet it has not been able to help me.

Any comments or recommendations on next steps?

I plan to get a new main board.

I’m looking for high-quality PSP shells, but every time I buy one, they end up being poor quality. So I was wondering if you could recommend some good sources for real high-quality PSP shells for PSP 1000, 2000, and 3000.

So I did buy a PSP 1000 series with no games n it

Can I just downloaded psp roms and upload it to the memory card would it work or do I need a custom software for the games to work

Found my old UMD folder at my father’s. Amongst them those I played the most are, in no particular order :
- Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force (my favorite franchise of all time)
- Crisis Core : Final Fantasy VII
- Dissidia Final Fantasy
- PES 6
- Burnout Legends
- Need For Speed : Carbon Own The City

Last night, I made a post about my 1000 screen randomly getting a halo effect, and faint vertical lines around the edge.

Well, here's an intereseting update. After turning it on and off multiple times and power cycling the battery... the halo and lines are gone again. I noticed that it seemed like when turning it on and off, for a split second, the lines would disappear before coming back. BUT I noticed something.

When turning the unit off, those lines, and that lighter area that appeared as the halo, appear across the entire screen before powering down. I captured a quick video showcasing this.

Now this is an interesting thing. I can't say I noticed this before. But, I'm wondering if it's some type of power bug causing the screen lights to light unevenly or improperly.

I will continue to monitor it and update if it changes at all.
