DIY PSP 3000 buttons

No one sells colored buttons(symbols not the whole button) for the psp 3000. So i gotta do it myself. i used a soldering iron, melted in the symbols, added color, put a drop of epoxy on top. honestly it may have looked cleaner if i just bought stickers and put epoxy over it, but i was in too deep when i got that idea. anyways how's the DIY buttons look. may not look the best but it gives it character.

I have a PSP!

I've been holding off on buying a PSPs because I thought I was done with many of its games. Recently, I finally understood how the musou warriors games worked so now I'm excited to go through warriors orochi 1 and 2 on PSP. I am also excited to go through portable ops and peace walker again. I can never commit to a monster hunter playthrough so it's there as a courtesy to the shell.

My collection thus far

Growing up as a late 90s kid, the PSPs were, in my opinion, the best handhelds. Always wanted one for myself. My mom had a 1000 OG PSP in gray that i hardly ever got to use. And when the GOs came out I wanted one so badly. So needless to say my inner child is LOVING my small “retro” gaming collection. I still want to get the newer vita variant (I’m thinking in the white, it looks so clean) and still want to get the OG PSPs to complete the Era.

I still have to swap out the joycons in my vita because there’s some nasty stick drift that deadzone software can’t even touch. And I need the M2->SD memory card so I can actually play the vita instead of it collecting dust in my closet 😅

Psp 3000 pearl white

This was the biggest steal ive ever had in my entire life, like this psp wanted me to find it, i got it for a price that i cant even say here because it will bring bad eye of how lucky i was 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and its hands down the newest cleanest psp ive ever seen, when i got it it had no battery, i had no charger and no battery at home, so i was skeptical especially how the encounter went when i went to buy it from a guy on fb market who didnt wtite any description other that it works very well no psp mentioned at all, and after 2 hours he deleted all of his 5 articles he just posted that day and all have same description ( it works perfectly) not gonna talk about the encounter cuz it was very suspicious, anyway i ordered a battery and charger and the thing turned on and was working perfectly 🤣🤣 i hacked it and was soo happy then i ordered a glass lense and a duo stick adapter and installed it, its now running ark 4 with all gba and my psp old nostalgic games 🥹, okay i got it for 20 $ canadian 🤝

I'm porting the full Need for Speed Underground 2 to the PSP – first WIP video (open world Bayview, races, traffic)

Hey everyone!

I'm happy to share the first video of a project I've been working on: a port of Need for Speed Underground 2 to the PSP. Not a cut-down version like Underground Rivals, but the full game, with the same gameplay and features as the PS2 version.

The goal is a well-optimized build that holds a stable 30 FPS at minimum, so it feels like a true native PSP game.

What's already working (at some level):
- A native PSP engine running the original game data, including most of the graphics features
- Car models
- The entire open world of Bayview, with free roam working
- Circuit races with AI opponents and city traffic
- Audio and music

What's still missing:
- UI / menus
- Career mode, story and dialogue
- The other race types (drag, drift, etc.)
- Garage and cars customization
- Lots of bug fixes and polish

Special thanks to all contributors of the OpenUG2 project that made this port possible https://github.com/whoismept/OpenUG2

If you want to follow the development, I'll be posting updates on my channel:

GBAdhoc 3.5.0 released: GBA Link Cable over WiFi (Mario Kart, Advance Wars), Game Boy Trades, New Menus, Button Remapping, and more!

GBAdhoc is a Game Boy Advance emulator for the PSP that also plays Game Boy and Game Boy Color. This release links two PSPs together like two consoles and a link cable, over the PSP's own ad-hoc WiFi: race in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, fight in Advance Wars 2, trade Pokémon from Red to Crystal. No cable, no router, no Internet. It still runs the hard ROM hacks at full speed on a PSP-1000, because the renderer lives on the console's second processor. Free, open source (GPL-2.0), no BIOS needed.

Download 3.5.0 · Source and README

What's new in 3.5.0

GBA link cable between two PSPs. The GBA's link-cable games, with no cable. Open the game on both PSPs; one picks Wireless → Host and keeps playing while it waits, the other picks Join: scan for rooms. A short LINKING screen, and both games carry on from where they are: nobody starts over. Your friend's moves play out on your screen exactly as two GBAs on a cable would show them, battle animations and all.

https://i.redd.it/wacua49wlgth1.gif

https://i.redd.it/ex5tlhrwlgth1.gif

How it works without a cable: a real link cable answers in microseconds and WiFi answers in milliseconds, so sending the cable over the air can't work, and GBAdhoc doesn't try. Each PSP runs both games: yours, on screen with sound, plus an invisible copy of your friend's, joined by a perfect cable in memory. The only thing that crosses the air is which buttons each player pressed, one tiny message per frame. Same buttons, same order, same result on both PSPs. No game needs special code: if it links by cable, it can link this way.

https://preview.redd.it/r3te7h6ylgth1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=6dc5a88e15ecde4c210f2093fa4759591445217d

Safe by design. About once a second the two PSPs compare a fingerprint of both games. If they ever disagree, the link ends and nothing is saved. If the other PSP leaves, your game carries on.

Tested on two real consoles (a PSP-3000 hosting, a PSP-1000 joining): Advance Wars 2 at 59.2 fps, a Mario Kart: Super Circuit two-player race at 58.9 fps. Also passing in emulated pairs: Sonic Advance, Mario Tennis: Power Tour, and Pokémon Emerald's Cable Club. You need the same ROM on both PSPs; two players.

Game Boy and Game Boy Color link cable (from the 3.1 beta). Trades and battles between two PSPs, tested with Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver and Crystal. Only one of you needs the cartridge: if your friend doesn't have it, it is sent over for the session, kept in memory and never written to their Memory Stick.

https://i.redd.it/il0zk71zlgth1.gif

A new in-game menu, over your paused game: Resume, Save states, Wireless, Settings, Quit to game list, Exit. Save states you can see: five slots, each with a picture and the time you saved; ✕ loads, □ saves, △ deletes.

https://i.redd.it/wbgq2p00mgth1.gif

Remap every button. Every game button and every shortcut (fast-forward, quick save/load, screenshot, Mystery Gift, the menu), or leave one blank to turn it off. HOME can open the menu if you want it to (START+SELECT stays the default).

Quit to game list in about a second. The game unloads inside the app and fades into your library, no relaunch, save written first.

Sharper pictures, per console. GBA, GB and GBC each remember their own picture: integer 2x, a sharp bilinear filter (crisp pixels, no shimmer), and Ambient bars that fill the sides with the game's own art. More accurate Game Boy Color colours too.

https://preview.redd.it/5vxvvry0mgth1.png?width=970&format=png&auto=webp&s=5bf4ddeb87c9ec2f4065a59f892ecf9b0cb18426

Also new: Settings and the loading screen sit over the game's art; fast-forward reworked (Unlimited draws 30 frames a second, Unlimited Smooth 60, the rest goes to the game); dynarec optimisations; a PSP-2000/3000/Go crash traced to the PSP firmware itself and worked around; audio that no longer drifts; Media Engine renderer fixes.

What it does

  • Link play: GBA Link Cable and GB/GBC link cable between two PSPs (new), plus full AGB-015 Wireless Adapter emulation for Emerald, FireRed and LeafGreen: Union Room, Trade Center, link battles, Mystery Gift.
  • Mystery Gift: real Gen-3 Wonder Cards from an Android phone (Mystery Gift Station).
  • Two processors: the Media Engine draws every frame while the main CPU emulates the next. Full speed on a PSP-1000.
  • GB and GBC: the same browser, save states, menus and remapping as GBA.
  • A browser worth using: Marquee or Shelf, dark or light, one list per console, favourites, hero art.
  • Wake from sleep: slide it shut, come back tomorrow, the game is exactly where it was.
  • All three PSPs: 1000, 2000/3000 and Go, tested on hardware. Custom firmware needed (developed on ARK-4).

Linking: the three things to get right

  • The WLAN switch must be on (on the Go it is a setting).
  • Both PSPs on the same fixed ad-hoc channel, not Automatic: Settings → Network Settings → Ad Hoc Mode, pick 1, 6 or 11 on both, away from your router's channel.
  • Start from the in-game menu: Wireless → Host on one PSP, Join: scan for rooms on the other. For GBA, both PSPs need the same ROM.

Install

  • Unzip the release to the root of your Memory Stick; it lands in PSP/GAME/GBAdhoc.
  • Put your .gba, .gb and .gbc files in GBAdhoc/roms/ (subfolders are fine).
  • Launch it from the XMB. No BIOS needed. Upgrading: copy EBOOT.PBP, gbadhoc_me.prx and gbadhoc_home.prx over your install, always all three together. Your config.ini carries over.

Box art and hero art are optional and matched by filename; ready-made packs and the tool that renames them to your ROMs live in GBAdhoc-heroart.

This stands on other people's work. The Wireless Adapter reverse-engineering and emulation are davidgfnet's (gpSP); the GB/GBC core is TGB Dual by Hii, built to run two Game Boys on a cable, as ported to the PSP in Brunni's MasterBoy; sleep/wake with code on the Media Engine exists because of mcidclan's libraries. GBAdhoc is the PSP shell, the link and the radio transport around them. Full credits, the architecture notes and the changelog are in the README.

No ROMs, no BIOS, no game files are included or linked. Bug reports: GitHub issues, with your PSP model and the game.

color swapped my psp😍

i love both sides i might buy another one just for this😂 the main reason was cause the screen on the white one sadly had got a few scratches before i get my screen protectors i ordered, and i didnt just want to order another white one (and the backplate is red so i didn't have too many options because i am NOT doing a shell swap)

Found my old PSP Go — decided not to sell it. What mods should I start with?

Found my old PSP Go and originally put it up for sale, but after getting a bunch of lowball offers I started looking into the modding side of these.

The more I looked into it, the more I figured it’d probably be hard to replace later for what I’d get selling it now, so I decided to keep it and mod it instead.

Never modded a PSP before. What would you recommend doing first? CFW, storage upgrade, emulators, plugins, quality-of-life stuff, etc.

What are the must-do mods for a PSP Go these days?

UPDATE 3 — Kingpin: Life of Crime PSP Edition 🔥

My team and I have been working incredibly hard over the past few weeks, and we're excited to officially confirm that Kingpin: Life of Crime has now been fully ported to the PSP! 🎉

Next week, we'll be playing through the entire game from start to finish to identify and fix any remaining bugs and issues. Our goal is to release a fully functional and stable version for everyone to enjoy.

⚠️ Important: Hardware Requirements

The port will currently only run on the PSP-3000 with ARK-5 and an overclocked CPU running at 403 MHz.

We've done our best to optimize the game for the PSP-1000 as well. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to achieve a stable experience on that model. Its hardware limitations cause persistent texture glitches and various other issues that we haven't been able to resolve.

For now, our focus is on delivering the best possible experience on the PSP-3000.

We're almost there! Thank you all for your support and patience. We hope you'll enjoy playing Kingpin: Life of Crime on your PSP very soon! 💀🔥
