    My psp was a life saver on my tours to Iraq. In my little free time it was for movies, music, and games. Plus I stored some pictures of family on it. Having so much bundled into such a small portable device was super convenient. Plus mine was soft modded so I had a ton of old retro games to play.

The Vita even had cross buy games with the PS3 where you got the game for both systems and could transfer your save between them. The PSP also has ports of PS2 games and even has some PSP games get ported to the PS2. So the comparisons really do make sense even though the portables aren't actually as powerful as the consoles.

Movies and music all day, a nice picture slideshow running when I couldn't play it, games whenever, including multiplayer with some of the other guys working there. It was such an amazing little system and way ahead of its time. I wish I had some experience soldering, this would be a great way to freshen up the old girl. I still have all my old UMD movies and a huge stack of games laying around.

I even replaced the face buttons myself. But the analog nub didn't work becase of a striped screw in that area. I still have it along with the later models.

    I've seen "solderless" kits that come with conductive paint to bridge that small connection instead of having to solder it. Not sure how well that works as I haven't tried that myself, but may be a good option for those that don't want to solder. Edit: Just realized the replacement screen you linked to on Amazon actually comes with a tube of "Silver conductive adhesive". I believe this is the stuff you would use instead of solder. The listing still mentions that you have to solder though, so not 100% sure on that.

This video brought back a lot of memories, as did MVGs. I really appreciate the demo and the explanation of what to watch out for.

    Psp was my go to device in high school. My ds broke the hinge with normal use. I tried to repair it with my family and it broke. We were poor and I told a friend about it. He told me he was selling psp and I got all money I could buy selling things to get it. So I enjoyed ds first half of life cycle and psp the other half. I remember playing on my modded wii xbox psp and ds I used flashcard. I made the most out of every console I had because I was poor. I still got games for Christmas or birthday. I wanted to play as much as I could growing up. I watched movies at school after work and on the bus. I would listen to music on it. I carried two batteries because I used it so much. I played games like assassin creed bloodlines early that is sequel to first game. I still bought games when I could like crisis core and gta games. It was impossible for me to support all these games growing up. I ended off with my senior year getting 3ds and flashcard. So I caught up on all the ds games I was missing out on because the poor build quality. I used my psp so much it's legit broken. Memory card is super slow it's been beaten up so to me it's has a special place in my heart as probably my favorite portable system. I got vita and sadly haven't enjoy that much out of it. I got steam deck and it really has been my go to over everything else. I bought over 1500 games on steam so I have huge list of games I still need to go through. Love of gaming has never died and I wonder if it ever will.

    wish i could do this, but I had 1 psp with 1 bad screw, and I tore it off ripping the part the screw goes into, and broke the slide for power on/off so i had to buy another from a friend, and it had the a screw at the bottom rusted and couldnt get out, so i cant really do the mod to it sadly.

    Kool video, Im dying to get my psp online. Its pretty new I hardly ever used it. Only thing is I don't know much about routers and changing specs to get it online. I would love to take it with me and use it on the road. Brings back some good memories of playing games with my nephew when he was really young.

    I got the ips screen for my PSP 1000 about a year ago and it took nearly 40 days to get to me, because it wasn't available on Amazon yet. Quick question though. I got me a new full clear housing shell replacement and my issue is that now all of my face buttons are super stiff (impossible to play games stiff), do you have any tips? If I slap back on the original face plate every button works fine. Thanks for the video by the way and now I can order that same ips screen I ordered from another country right here in the US from Amazon.

    The PSP might legit be the best PlayStation Sony ever made. Been debating this mod because as mentioned, the stock screen on the PSP-1000 is pretty terrible. But my soldering skills are sub par at best. Of course there's always emulation on the Steam Deck. Even if text and FMVs don't always scale that great. Worth noting that while the 2000 and 3000 models do have more RAM, AFAIK it's only being used to as a buffer to speed up UMD load times. Which is irrelevant if you have a jailbroken PSP and are loading all your games off a microSD adapter.

    The soldering part for this mod is difficult, I had success with one motherboard (barely), but the 2nd psp1000 motherboard i was working on had even tinier points to bridge. I ended up leaving it alone because I didn't want to damage any components around it. I'd just go find a 2000 or 3000 unless you come across a 1000 very cheap, but assess the board yourself and see if it's feasible.

    Some homebrew games actually take full advantage of the extra RAM on PSP-2000 and PSP-3000 models for improved performance, and leaked game prototypes often will require a PSP-2000 or PSP-3000 in order to run them properly, since, devkits and all. Some homebrew titles like the Half-Life port will outright refuse to run on a PSP-1000.
