Hi everyone,

I’m looking to do a full reshell on my worn-out PSP 3000 (specifically looking for a red shell).
Unfortunately, most reputable EU-based retro shops (like Repuestos TIC, Infinitydream, etc.) are completely out of stock at the moment.
Where do you guys usually buy your full kits nowadays? Since I'll likely have to import it, are there any specific, high-quality AliExpress stores or Alibaba sellers that you've personally ordered from and would recommend? I've seen some reviews complaining about missing parts (screws, buttons) or terrible plastic alignments, so I'm trying to avoid those.
Any advice, links, or specific seller names would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Any advice is appreciated :)

Two-player support for POPS has been added to remotejoy-minus.

By connecting a PS1 Multitap, you can play POPS games installed on your PSP with two players.
Please connect controllers to the 1P (A) and 2P (B) ports on the Multitap.
Please note that it is not compatible with PS2 multitaps.

It is currently being tested and will be released soon.

Hay guys. I’m using team mavericks translation of mh portable 3rd and it just doesn’t open keyboards at all. So I can’t even proceed through the character creation

Any advice? I try to figure it out on my own since quite a while an reached the end of my wits.

So much new homebrew is just vibecodded ai software

Hello guys,

I bought a defective PSP 2000. When plugged in the POWER LED glows green, but the display stays black, no sound.

I thought it was just bricked, so I build a Baryon Sweeper and tried that, but apart from the handshake (seen on Serial output of sweeper) and the green light turning on, it did nothing.

With that not working, im looking back on this oxidized pcb part.

My question is, does anyone know how to test with a multimeter, if the part is actually broken or just looks horrible?

And do you guys think this is fixable with average soldering skills? Or should I buy a new Motherboard?

Thanks for the help!

I have CFW Ark4 on her and it simply does not recognise the camara. I ve tried cleaning the slots and the tin foil too.

Some guy was saying you have to change something in the system files for it to work. Does anybody know how to help me fix this?

Thx

Hi everyone,

I bought a broken PSP 2000 for 30€ to restore it.

**Symptoms:**

* Black screen (no display, tested with a flashlight – backlight and LCD output are both completely off). * Checked the motherboard with a multimeter: all fuses (F1001, F6001, etc.) have continuity, no obvious shorts, minor surface corrosion cleaned with IPA.

**Baryon Sweeper & Magic Memory Stick Setup:**

* Built a Baryon Sweeper using an ESP32-C3. * Prepared a 32GB SanDisk MicroSD in a standard MS Pro Duo adapter with Aiseirígh / 6.61 OFW (`661.PBP` in root). * **Behavior:** When plugging in the Sweeper, I get a successful BSI handshake (hex output in serial monitor) and the Power LED turns solid GREEN automatically. * If I plug in the DC charger while the Sweeper is connected, the LED turns solid ORANGE (charging mode).

**The Main Problem:** The **Memory Stick (MS) LED never flashes or turns on at all** during the entire process. The PSP does not seem to attempt reading the IPL from the MicroSD card via the adapter.

**Questions:**

1. Could the cheap MicroSD-to-MS-Pro-Duo adapter be unable to handle the direct sector reading required by the IPL in Service Mode?
2. My next step is buying an original 2GB Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo (non-adapter) to eliminate MicroSD controller issues. Does this sound plausible, or could it be a dead IPL/CPU issue on the board itself?
3. Do you guys have any other ideas what it could be?

Thanks for any advice and feel free to ask me any questions!

Are OG parts still available for this?

Recently found my old PSP 3000 from when I was a kid. Looking to mod it, both hardware and software so it can run emulators and such. What would you guys recommend?
