@Toteniuz 28 дней назад

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 28 дней назад

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.

@9Itian 28 дней назад

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 28 дней назад

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.

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

@@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!

Anyway, I didn't want a PSP until this video, now I want one. Thanks for the great video as always.

@WhatAboutZoidberg 28 дней назад

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.

@thegametinkerer 28 дней назад

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!

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. Being able to connect a controller would be awesome though, however I'm certain you'd need custom firmware for that.

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.

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!

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.

That iFixit board is definitely something I need to invest in. I've got a bunch of good stuff off of them in the past.

Can we also get 'Building an ultimate PS Vita' video,pretty please? I've hardmodded my PS VITA 2000 with a second battery, trimming some of the inside plastic and by rotating the speaker so the battery would fit. Now it runs twice as long, but would like to see if there's any other options to hardmod the console.

The 3 Modes explained: Mode 1 - Windowed (calibrated for bigger screens, almost 1-by-1 Output) Mode 2 - Fullscreen (with a Black Border for TVs with Overscan that can't be disabled) Mode 3 - Fullscreen (without Overscan-Borders, fill Screen) That's what i can tell about the screen output seen in the Video

Seems like it's a stone's throw away from a console-ized PSP! That's what I want - custom case, keep your UMD drive, HDMI out, wireless control... that'd be glorious.

Awesome mods, also im trying to get android on my nintendo dsi/lite do you think there is a way to make that happen?

@HydraSpectre1138 25 дней назад

I would love this, IF it was for the PSP-3000, as that had Bluetooth support for PS3 controllers, had analogue video out, and double the RAM.

@MYTECHREVIEW 27 дней назад

The PSPGo is a better option if you want to play connected to display by using the dock adapter plus it has Bluetooth which helps connect an external controller and you can still play the games from the SD Adapter.

My ultimate PSP is a consolized version that still lets me play with my UMDs, but with video out and a PS2 controller port.

@orlandoturbo6431 25 дней назад

I have the PSP component cables for my HDTV. Add Bluetooth to the PSP so you can use a Bluetooth controller while you play on the TV.

@brianwalker7771 25 дней назад

Are there any good audio mods for the PSP? I absolutely love my PSP it sounds really good via headphones or external speakers but that built in speaker has no real punch.

Very cool!

@TMracer73 28 дней назад

Ultimate PSP is PSP Go with dock + DS3 + scaler. Altenatively Dock can be replace with PSP Go Data/Charging/Componente cable. Such cable occasionaly appears online or can be made by combing charging/data cable with component cable. Bigginner soldering required

@watchmejumpstart24 28 дней назад

Nah the ultimate PSP is a modded Vita. You can dock any Vita with hacks and it can run Vita games on top of all the PSP ones lol

@deBaer 27 дней назад

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.

@HanCurunyr 26 дней назад

I have no problem to using the PSP as a console/controller hybrid, I find it quite cool actually, but, there should be an option to turn off the PSP own screen and sound when HDMI is plugged in

@retrobear9367 27 дней назад

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.

still the best looking portable of all time!

@AceUndergeekBunny 28 дней назад

Well, this mod is kind a no go for me. Input lag, no UMD, the stuff with the sound that weird, this 3 point don't make me want to buy it ! You talk about it in the end, it is a start, and we need to wait for better mod for the PSP. A dream about a true Consolizer like what we have with the GBA, with 720p/1080p, wireless control support and the UMD reader 👍👍👍. Great video btw 👍.

So is there going to be a video on the shortstack wii sometime?

@Aeduo 28 дней назад

I'd guess this is intended as kinda a capture/stream mod rather than intended as a means of playing it personally on a TV, but yeah things seem a little janky with it, but maybe a digital audio capture isn't possible. Although the volume control might just be in software already with no way to decouple them, so yeah maybe just a means to mute the internal speakers would be a good addition.

@Drakevid 28 дней назад

God I love this videos. Thank you for bringing this quality content to RU-vid, is the best that I know. Also I love the PSP mods, but it would be great to also see more handheld mods including PSP, like 3DS and PsVita or even build a mini handheld pc or make a portable Dream Cast. Also I wanted to build my Fighting Stick and I thought maybe you could have video about it.

@bland9876 24 дня назад

Mods that use a controller would most likely have lot more soldering for each of the buttons so ya do you want to go through that vs just buying a really long HDMI cable?

@fafik144 23 дня назад

You can add a small switch connected directly to the console's speaker ground. when you play via HDMI, disconnect the ground and the problem is solved. 😊

@MegaManNeo 28 дней назад

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 😀

@Envido32 28 дней назад

PSPgo has native wireless connection to a DualShock3 with Bluetooth, an HDMI port mod would make your desired ultimate PSP =)

@SeraphimKnight 27 дней назад

A dedicated consoliser mod for PSPs would be great. There's a great number of them lying unused because the screen was fairly easy to break... I know for me at least that was the reason I stopped playing on mine.

@ronny332 28 дней назад

The Audio is just picked from the analog part of the PCB in the PSP. No wonder it is enabled for HDMI and PSP at the same time :-). The the extra analogue conversion is of course unwanted and not needed, if you find a usable digital format on the pcb.

@yourcoolunclemarisa 28 дней назад

Tito, why do your video titles keep changing? It's making me feel like I'm in the twilight zone hahah. Excited to watch this one - the PSP is an underappreciated favorite of mine x
