Post Notes: I performed a light nail scratch test on the design prints on both models The 2000 is easily scratches, the 3000 held up perfectly without any problems. So another reason not to get the 2000 MH Shell.

Honestly all I want for my PSP-3000 is the expanded grips from the MHP3rd shell, I kinda don't want to spend $35-40 just to use 2 parts out of the entire kit. Like I don't even care that much about the extra battery space I just my console to feel better in my fairly big hands 😔

Love the video mate , helped me decide the replacement shell to get when it's time

also the difference between the t92 and t95 models are the MMC led indicator, in t92 the led indicator is built-in in the motherboard, while t95 models are separated and attached to directional button flex

Been considering getting the MHP3rd shell for my PSP3000, now I'm convinced, but i will reuse the original buttons to avoid some of the issues mentioned, also gonna upgrade that battery to a 2200mah one, currently with a 1200mah my 9g revision lasts around 4 hours and a half with Daxter or Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, if i can double that i will be very happy, i usually played PSP games on my Vita which lasts maybe a day or so without charging when playing PSP games, but 3D games like MH or Daxter scale quite poorly on the Vita screen, good for gameplay as you have the additional stick which is great for MH, but the downgrade in visual quality is quite hard...

I wish the vita was able to push 60fps on Native screen rez on all psp games. That would have been the dream. Instead scaling sucks, lack of bigger filter options, slight latency, audio accuracy : |

@@TotalKommando I ended finding a work around for latency issues and audio accuracy using Adrenaline, installed CFW, now it loads in full PSP mode allows for some different filters and disable the bilinear filtering that blurs all the PSP and PS1 games, there is a mod that allows for native res on certain games like FF3 or 4 3D remakes, but it's highly limited in compatibility and MH isn't supported among many other 3D heavy games, thanks to Adrenaline you can also setup Inferno as the main driver and tweak CPU and GPU frequencies of the PSP chip, allowing for overall better performance, basically any option you have with a CFW PSP you get it through Adrenaline.

I'll have to revisit Adrenaline, its been a while since I last touched my vita. I know there are rez patches but sadly not for the games I enjoy like outrun or motorstorm among various others. I will prob start dabbling with it again once I do my Vita eBay Japan vs AliExpress video.

Is it possible to change the casing to a t92? Is it only necessary to make the hole for the antenna or are there too many physical changes that make it impossible? I only have a t92 version and I have always wanted to have that version of the PSP, and a case is the most tangible way. Thanks to your video I noticed that detail but I couldn't find a case for the t92

@TotalKommando

2 ай бұрын

The T90/T92/T93 are all the same. As far as the differences go, the only one I really noticed is the cutout, and the grove that allows the antenna to sit flush under the battery. Worse case you reroute the antenna somewhere else, make it smaller, longer or what not just to make it fit. If you don't use WiFi or AdHoc, you can also just leave the antenna out. Hope this helps : )

Enjoyed this thanks! plus good heads up to catch out scammers! Do you think the OEM PSP 3000 Monster Hunter has a better build quality / feel compared to the OG PSP 1000 ? and do they both have a similar weight. I personally loved the premium / weighty feel of the original, though it is interesting many like the monster hunter one, tempted to scout one!

The only PSP that comes close to the 1000 in terms of thiccness and build quality is the E1000. OG 3000 MH is very nice and very prone to damage since its rubberized and plastic is thinner

@@stingerfist It would have to be a 3000 MH, personally I love the grip and shape on it, feels slightly thicker than the 1000 + the rubberized grip. Its lighter, takes a 2200 mAh battery. I know I may have contradicted what I said about thickness in my last comment.

Is it generally safe to use graffers tape like that directly on the mobo? I want to fix a mushy down and right dpad that I have to press hard to register and I want to replicate your fix but first I ordered a rubber replacement for the dpad to see if it’s that.

@TotalKommando

Ай бұрын

If you are working with an original shell, you shouldn't need to add tape, if its an original case then you might just need new rubber domes. Otherwise if its an aftermarket shell they usually don't fit perfectly, and yes its fine as long as the buttons feels right and dont feel like the buttons are giving less than a full press like its already pressed if that makes sense.
