bro i struggled with this for hours and search all of you tube and found nothing but i figured it out the problem was the psp ips housing remove the metal plate and make sure that it is actually placed correctly
I had the same issue in that my left d-pad button would not work but the others did. I removed the outer casing, screen and dpad unit as per this video. I then used 100% isopropyl alcohol and a cotton bud/q-tip to clean the exposed contacts on the ribbon cable, and reseat and attach the cable. Whilst in there I also cleaned the d-pad contact pads which were pretty dirty. This worked for me and I did not have to replace the d-pad unit. Hopefully this is useful for anyone with the same issue!
Did you try cleaning the dpad contacts w alcohol? I’ve worked on many psps but never had to replace the dpad. I just wash the buttons rubber contact w soap n water and qtip n alcohol the whole board especially the home buttons and it worked every time there was dpad button malfunction.
I don't know how hard is to find nowdays a GB Player, but I definetly get both the player and the GC Loader, that way I could use a little bit more my Purple Game Cube that died on me (not the console itself, but the mini DVD drive did), but at the same time I could try to get a compatible component cables as it was one of the launch GCN models)
hey I have the literal same exact problem with my psp. I ordered a new ribbon cable and it has the same issue. What did you do on the 2nd time around? Did you just fiddle with the parts? I've taken mine apart 3 times and just cant seem to get it. Any tips would be appreciated.
So installing the new D-pad fixed the problem but near the end of the video when it didn’t work it was actually the joy stick causing the issue as well. I bought an aftermarket joystick and I was reading that they tend to be faulty. So I installed my original joystick and with the new D-pad (with new rubber pads) and that is what fixed the issue.
@@niccolosaurus5530I had the same issue but I saw the Problem the metal bar wasn't fitted correctly so I fixed it and boom it started working. but then my original joystick left the chat. and bought an aftermarket one didn't have a problem it's back almost new just a new body plate left.
I don’t believe they work on the SD card, but you can always look up something like EZ Flash Omega. That will allow you to use the GB Player with a physical flash card.
@@niccolosaurus5530 EZ-Flash or an Everdrive GBA would work perfectly well with the GBI interface of Swiss. That is optimal. But you also have the option of using EmGBA (Enhanced mGBA) as a GBA emulator inside of Swiss. You miss out on the option of connecting your physical GBA to your GameCube with cable if you go the emulation route. You also obviously can't bring the GBA-game with you if you decide to use EmGBA. I would choose to use Everdrive + GB-Player for that reason. You just need to pair it with a screen-modded GBA and you are golden :). Play your favourite GBA game on a 65¨ OLED screen with an original SNES controller paired with a raphnet adapter. Use a RetroTink 5x with OEM component cable (for good signal to upscale) input to scale and convert the the signal to HDMI. RetroTink 5x is a world class upscaler but it does not have HDMI input so for the best picture possible from GC you need to use the component cables. There you have it.. the best possible GC set-up. Well you could also connect 4 GC with the broadband adapter and play MarioKart the ultimate way.. but that's a little overkill since you will need at least 2-4 screens.
