Building The Ultimate PSP In 2024

[@StephanieHua]

HDMI mod, IPS screen, all good... but where are the dope battery alternatives?

[@scribeofsolace]

None 😢 thing will die in 3 hours still...sucks that no one makes batteries of oem quality as well.

[@MarcosCodas]

They don't exist.

[@rockhyde7775]

Yeah, pretty much every aftermarket PSP battery sucks. My brother said so too as it’s hard not to go 30 minutes without dying. Let’s hope for something the GBA has and a Type-C mod for quick and convenient charging.

[@Toteniuz]

Some people on reddit did some heavy research and concluded that the Cameron Sino batteries are the best at 4½-5h battery life. Ostent batteries gave 4-4½h. The rest are mostly trash.

[@tradain]

There is a battery mod that involves removing the optical drive and converting that space, plus the original battery case, to hold a much larger battery. The battery used is a 6050100 lithium polymer battery, and a search for "PSP 6050100 imgur" will get you a visual guide. I have done this mod myself on my PSP 3000 and the battery life you gain is unreal - I haven't been able to play long enough in a single sitting to drain it, and that includes a couple 10-hour plus day trips as a car passenger -- and the battery meter was still reading at over half at the end of the day. Note that you do have to disassemble an existing PSP battery to extract the control logic board, but it really isn't a difficult process.

[@TwistedMe13]

3:32 ...That's a micro HDMI port not a mini (which is wider but not as tall). I'd thought I'd mention it so anyone who doesn't look to closely at an amazon listing winds up buying the wrong cable.

[@Schabik1990]

[@PatrickOuthier]

Sad thing is, it looks like a mini HDMI would have fit with a little filing and is a much better connector.

One major future issue though.. allot of newer tv's only have hdmi.. or if you're using a computer monitor, hdmi or display port

[@LPcrazy_88]

When you called this a Switch I had MUCH higher expectations, this seems like a mod that needs a lot more time to cook to be worth buying or doing.

[@LPcrazy_88]

@@harperbolic My dude the Switch is a bit of a joke of a product hardware-wise, but the one thing it has always done right is portability. They specifically undervolted the already outdated CPU when it launched for it to have better battery life and it weighs next to nothing.

[@LPcrazy_88]

@@harperbolic tf you on about man, what could possibly make the Switch more portable? I often have to put my Switch in my back pocket (when it's in a case mind you) when taking stuff out of my car. How on earth could it get any more portable? You wanting tech to go back to Gameboy Pocket sizes again? There are so many things the Switch doesn't do well and you're out here trying to say it isn't portable because it is bigger than a OG PSP? You've lost the plot man.

[@LPcrazy_88]

@@harperbolic Oooooh ok mb I thought you were saying something very different, I get you now. On that note I 100% agree, especially the 3DS or DSi. I think the 3DSXL was the best combination of being pocket-sized while still having a lot of screen real estate. I loved the PSP back in the day but man is it rough nowadays unless you heavily mod it.

[@Cruxics]

"We can now play PSP games on a big screen" 1) PSP2000/3000/GO all do this 2) PSTV also does this. If you hack it with a HDD, you get a lot of PSP games.

[@9Itian]

Plus this came at the cost of the PSP1000's exclusive feature. Having a modded PSP able to function as a universal remote is pretty neat. If video-out is a priority feature then surely any other PSP model should have been used as a base. Every other model has twice the RAM, too.

[@MarcosCodas]

I have both a PSP3000 and a PSTV. The video out on the PSP is nowhere near the quality of an HDMI out (like the one on the PSTV). On the other hand, getting the PSP stuff working on the PSTV is a bit of a pain. Much easier than it used to be, but not worth it if you can have a dedicated PSP to do this.

[@xcruell]

That's true, but there only an IPS display for the PSP1000 tho..

[@BlyssSarania]

@@MarcosCodas Absolutely right about the video out, I have a PSP3000 and the output over component is really kinda rough. However the second point I would argue that... I have a PSP, PSTV, and a Vita and it's really easy these days to get PSP games on the PSTV and the Vita. I play my PSP stuff on the Vita because it's basically a "PSPXL" in that way, and personally I wouldn't sacrifice the UMD drive on the PSP for better video out but it's still a really cool mod for those who would!

[@MarcosCodas]

@@BlyssSarania I'll revisit the PSP thing on the Vita/PSTV. Maybe I just had a bad couple of days that time. It was a couple of years ago so I'm sure it's come a long way.

[@tigheklory]

Awesome video as always Tito! One mod I did to my PSP-1000 back in the day was I fit a SNES dpad into mine as Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Dark Stalkers was unplayable with the original dpad. It made a massive difference! I just trimmed the plastic in the center and then I had make the SNES dpad match the PSP dpad on the bottom.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

That sounds pretty cool! I never heard of swapping in a snes dpad before, very interesting!

[@TheFaygoNinja]

Tito you're a pillar of the console modding community. This video balances creating hype for the PSP modding scene while also encouraging more activity in what is currently kind of a niche console for mods. Love your high quality content and enthusiasm for elevating the hobby

[@cooleyzz]

Few things as someone who's done the ips mod. Make sure you get the gasket and put it on. I got a screen without one and dust wouldn't stop getting under the plastic. Also don't skimp on shorting the right thing - it can move the image up or down cutting things off. Also, psp can play ps1 eboots because it can play ps1 natively without emulation. Good luck all!

[@celebraces2]

I thought PS1 eboots were emulation?

[@Drivenby]

@@celebraces2yes it’s all emulation . There’s no fpga or ps1 hardware inside of it lol

[@michaelx1770]

Very good video, pal. A Colombian youtuber called 'Mundo Yakara' made 2 great mods for the PSP, one of them was installing a smartphone battery to the console, so we can upgrade our play time even to 8 hours straight. And the second one was removing the original charger port and installing a USB-C port to make charging easier. He did a very good job, so i really recommend you to take a look to his videos

[@chrisagu28]

Dang. I have been looking all this up this week to fix up my old psp. I was just thinking how it would be awesome if you did a video on this…. And here we are haha. Love your videos and amazing work!

[@WhatAboutZoidberg]

Magnet mats are so helpful for these type of uncommon repairs. You lay them out exactly as I do, like they are laid out in the device with labels. Hdmi is nice, more future proof, but for me not worth it over the component cables I already have. The IPS screen is super tempting, since mine has water spots and a few dead pixels at this point. Another solid job.

[@tecnodragon]

Kinda disappointing, PSP already has analog video output, you're doing quite some work, spending 40 bucks, removing the UMD drive, and IR Blast(+ without covering the connector sides) just for HDMI output.

[@ChrisStriker]

But that depends on which PSP model you have As I emphasize, the mod is only for the 1000 or Fat model, which those don't have video output, so if you have a PSP Fat that doesn't read discs, it's an excellent option

[@alexgonzales89]

Quick suggestion macho, I see you possibly put in infinity 2.0 cfw, I suggest going to ark 4 a direct upgrade from infinity 2.0 so you won't need to Uninstall the 2.0 firmware but also they fix compatability issues with some games, made region free for all movies as well as set a native overclock which really isn't a overclock since a lot of games underclock its basically running its intended performance and they made file access way easier! I've noticed major performance increase from this firmware over the last one they made (infinity 2.0)

[@MarcosCodas]

Good mod for PSPs without a working UMD mechanism. Would be a shame to ruin one that works, though.

The “ultimate PSP” still the PSP Go with “official” TV output, Dualshock 3 and SD adapter.

[@BlyssSarania]

PSP is amazing but I think the Vita is criminally underrated! I recently restored my PS Vita and tricked it out with an SD2Vita and all kinds of homebrew. I have a slim Vita, so no OLED screen for me but it at least comes with an IPS screen stock! Combined with emulators it's the perfect little device to keep in my purse and whip out whenever I have a few moments. The Switch is also great for emulators(better than the Vita if you dual boot Android) but is much bigger and more power hungry because it's trying to be both a portable and a home console(don't get me wrong I love the Switch!). The Vita is the perfect form factor for a portable IMO. I can play Vita, PSP, PS1, N64, SNES, Genesis, NES, Master System, GBA, GBC, GB, Game Gear all pretty much flawlessly and they look GREAT on the IPS screen! Anyway great video, awesome to see the Sony portables still getting love all these years later!

[@mirai8476]

[@soulreaperx7x]

@@soulreaperx7x It's a pain in the ass to get all the systems working correctly and at speed in retroarch but I really do get a solid experience for all the things I listed. A few SNES games like Star Fox or others with Super-FX are slow but otherwise it's solid. My Vita is fully overclocked FWIW. It's possible, it just takes patience. Oh with the exception of N64, that is pretty crap for a lot of games!

[@zanegandini5350]

I did the same thing with my OLED Vita and might actually use it instead of my PSP-1000. That OLED screen is super nice, and PSP emulation is near perfect on it. Only downside is that it does look a bit less sharp on the Vita's higher resolution screen (supposedly the Vita specifically emulates the PSP-1000... not sure why when the 3000 had the best color gamut and more ram), but it's a minor complaint.

[@BlyssSarania]

If you disable bilinear filtering in the Sony PSP emu settings and/or just use sharpscale you'll get a crispy perfect 2x Integer scale and it'll look much better IMO. The Vita resolution is exactly 2x the PSP in both dimensions.

[@NordicDan]

Two mods I would love to see more commonplace and "standardized" among PSP 1000 modding are USB-C charging/data (replacing either the Mini USB or the charge connector and having a 3D printed blank for the whichever doesn't get replaced by the USB-C) and LiPo battery conversions; whether it be a high capacity that replaces the UMD drive or just a more reliable cell to put inside the OEM battery shell. I think as far as a more standard USB-C, the best option would be to have a female receptacle in place of the Mini USB receptacle, wired for charging and data, then a blank in place of the OEM charging jack. Now I need to talk to my friends that have 3d printers.....

[@MrGarryGrey]

Good mods, but I think HDMI mod is mostly useful for capturing video or streaming than actually playing on the big screen. Also, would be cool to see a simple Type-C mod in the "ultimate" PSP. Relatively easy mod to do on most handhelds that adds convenience by removing a proprietary charging cable (can be done with a simple breakout board in most cases). Carrying a powerbank with a single short Type-C cable to charge your phone and the console is a huge W. Did that to my consoles.

You can go back to the days of the GBA to find peripherals that offer TV gaming and screen improvements alternative to the official ones, they've existed for DS and 3DS in the shape of capture card hardmods and even now there's a OLED+HDMI out solution in development for the Switch Lite. Nintendo has never chased out hardmods that don't enable piracy, they don't endorse them or offer support, but they don't forbid them either. Conflating this with piracy hard mods is, for the lack of a better word, ignorant.

For playing on the TV, the PSP Go seems to be the much better choice. It has video out from the factory and even a dock from Sony to use it with, and you can use PS3 controllers wirelessly. Also, the 1000's advantage, the UMD drive, disappears with the HDMI mod.

I would so love to see an IPS screen mod for all the revisions of PSP. I think the 1000 looks the best overall though and it is certainly the one that needed the upgrade the most. The HDMI out mod I just don't see a need for. The component output on my 3000 works great and doesn't have the same problem with audio as the mod. Not to mention leaving the UMD drive fully in tact.

Having big hands. I've always preferred the 1000. The 2000 was just too small for me. Handhelds like the DMG GB, Game Gear, Nomad and Steam Deck. Feel so comfortable in my handles. Nice n chunky. Heck, I bought the circle pad for my 3ds back in the day. Just to have a little more to hold on to.

So basically you turned this 1000 into a Go minus the sliding mechanism. Honestly, given how said part can wear down over time, this might be a good thing. I have a 2000, so nothing for me but I enjoyed seeing the outcome 😀

Excellent video as always, I couldn't help think PPSSPP android psp emulator has been so well made that it runs very well on most phones and can even enhance the original psp rendering, so is this set up worth it?
