The long awaited mod for all the family. Everyone I know has wanted a PSP HDMI mod. Even the lady who served me at the super market back in 2012. I think I only bought a Freddo but she was telling me just how badly she wants this mod.

I was kinda worried for a bit you were gonna also coincidentally put a video up with this HDMI mod and it'd basically be you probably complaining about how you completely borked your PSP because of all the instructions Elliot said were missing or something. XD

If it didn't remove the disk drive, I'd say this is a great mod. That said, you have a good point about systems whose drive is broken or won't read disks...in that case hey you're not losing anything.

@TheRetroFuture 8 месяцев назад

Yeah that was my thoughts. If you have a faulty PSP this could be a cheap bit of fun and be useful for some games!

@bigbangbot-SuperSqank 8 месяцев назад

Also, if you remove the UMD drive, it is possible to fit in a much larger/higher capacity battery into the PSP (I've at least seen in be done with 2000/3000 models). I've heard you can fit up to a 5000mAh battery in a PSP and that will give you way more battery life than any regular PSP battery. The PSP also uses more battery when using the UMD drive compared to running games off external storage. So if you do have a broken UMD drive or you don't mind sacrificing the UMD drive, a battery mod might be more worth it.

@chamoo232 8 месяцев назад

@@bigbangbot-SuperSqank I did that on my PSP-2000 but you also need the little board that's inside a PSP battery. I used a really cheap aftermarket battery and unfortunately the charging board in there is total crap. It doesn't really check the voltage and works more on a timer. It goes from 100% to 10% in 1 and a half hour and then it blinks for another half hour. At 0% it still goes but the PSP goes into sleep mode every minute. You really need the board from a real Sony battery to do this mod properly.

I got the value pack for Christmas in 2005, bringing it to school was such a flex, most people were still using GBAs. Seeing the packaging brings back so many memories, including Mims "this is why I'm hot" which was the first song I downloaded onto it because it was popular at the time

@HunterAtheist 8 месяцев назад

Component cables are a thing for PSP 2000 and 3000. Edit: As the video goes on, it becomes more of a disaster and really justifies the cost of the component cable, even if the resolution isnt the greatest and it doesnt fill the screen.

@darrendelima2909 8 месяцев назад

Please don't get rid of the original battery - I'm sure you already know, but all/most PSP replacement batteries have inferior control circuits to the original that crash in strange ways when USB charging is on. The replacement control PCB then needs resetting by shorting a couple of pins. Solution: disassemble the original Sony battery, salvage the control circuit and replace the lithium cell.

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the quality of the video and make it clear that I am passionate about mods, upgrades and restorations. But in this case I believe it would be more interesting to purchase the version of the PSP 3000 that allows connection to the television via an AVI cable. Or if the need is to use HDMI, perhaps a PS Vita TV would be even more interesting. Making it possible to play the extensive catalog of PSOne, PSP, PSVita and other emulators.

This is hilarious to me since I loved modding my PSP way back when the PSP first came out. I replaced my motherboard when I bricked it with a new motherboard from ebay without any major instructions during the myspace era. Seeing your panic with removing the optical drive when custom firmware has removed that necessity a long time ago makes me chuckle. Good to see you expanding to the PSP though. It has a strong homebrew scene. Time to get iPKG for more software.
