Please see the second part: • Install Followup IPS L...
I'm not really sure if I recommend this "upgrade." Based on the images on the listings I found (including some listings offering to upgrade my PSP if I send it in), I should not be having that issue with the image being shifted up on the LCD. Aside from that issue though, the colors are definitely different and more saturated but I'm not sure I'd call it better. The OEM PSP 1K LCD is not bad so there's already a pretty high standard for improvement. If nothing else, at least the LCD is less than $3 per. It's definitely brighter though.

I went with the "1000 brightness IPS" screen.

For taobao, I generally use an agent to purchase through. I used superbuy in this case but I can't say I recommend them. I am going to be trying out new agents in the near future.
Anyway, what are your thoughts? Anything you want me to try out with this screen?

What diferent are bettwen 500 and 1000 brightness IPS screen??
@@daniv8386 I don't know. I assume that it's nits but you'd have to ask the seller for more info.
Does the ips screen take more battery life?
One of those "Fantastic Nintendo dsd consoles"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahahahahahahahahhahahaha
I searched for dsd for 1 hour in Internet but found nothing 😂
The psp 1000 horrible response times causing smearing was the biggest issue imo.
The reason why the brightness levels are different is because when the psp is plugged in it gets an extra level of brightness compared to the one unplugged at the top
You beat me to it. You need both to be plugged in for a fair comparison. One benefit of the newer models is AV output, which the Phat model doesn't have.
@@jimmimak And if you want to bring the screen to the brightest level of backlight, you need to custom firmware it, to unlock the brightest level of backlight. Anyway, about the 300x models, I understand why people don't like the 300x screens, maybe because the scanlines texture clarity, but to be honest, scanlines never bother me, I still use my 3001 for the most times, than the 200x models, now, obviously, this doesn't mean I don't like the 200x models, I use them as well, but I use more my 3001 often, as I have more content! :D
The weight of the original 1000 is much more comfortable.
I very liked PSP Street. Even when i had 3004 In the same Room.
@@HuraganPrzesteru how could you prefer that fugly thing? its the cheapest feeling PSP out of all of them, has the least amount of features, it has a not so good, not even loud enough single mono speaker, lack of TV connection support and from my understanding it has an even worse scanlines issue than the psp 3000 series
For me better experience. I mean- my hands Love this material And thicknest of Street. Just more comfortable for me.
@@HuraganPrzesteru Yeah i agree, also + the fact that the street mat black instead of the normal fingerprint-magnets (1k, 2k, 3k)
@@itzzover4662 Yes, more esthetic over time :)
The level of clumsy going on here is adorable. Keep up the good work!
I have a PSP 3000. perfect condition and original battery which still seems in top condition. But! Picking up an exceptional psp 1002 tomorrow! Just because its the same as I had when I was in early high school. I remember my original one I smashed the screen...psp was in my pocket and it hit something while I was walking! I bought a replacement screen and fitted it. Didn't seem difficult at all. So just thinking I'd like to get an upgraded screen for the one I pick-up tomorrow! It charges and holds charge and apparently its had very little use in its life. Thanks for the video. Enjoy watching your content. I did my GBA SP 001 with a 10 brightness level LCD. What a difference!
Personally I still prefer psp for playing regular old psp games due to the perfect vita screen showing off more of the jaggy pixels even larger
Your Nintendo DSD is the left handed model. Look how the face buttons are on the left.
I like the 1000 series chunk factor, since I have big hands. It makes it more comfortable for me to use.
I love my 1000
As a kid my 2000 felt great. As an adult, a 1000 now feels better in my hands, I like the ridges on the battery cover and other back plate more, better grip in the hands there. So for me the 1000 is the best UMD drive model, the Go is the best after that for its originality
After watching your last vid, I think an IPS mod for original DS would be a more interesting option than PSP, which already has a great screen.
Omg I would pay so much for that to get in IPS on a ds lite or dsi bro
@@johnharrington87 dsi already have an IPS screen
@@gotpixeled I meant like a High quality ips screen like the one of the GBA mods
john harrington just get a new 3ds off eBay with an IPS top. You don’t look at the bottom too much so I find it a really nice compromise. I personally have an XL model and play in pixel perfect mode.
@@johnharrington87 The DSI already does have great screens, the original DS has abysmal screens on the other hand
That’s BEAUTIFUL!
If I remember correctly the PSP 1000 has two different screens depending on the region of the PSP. The 1000 Western ones have the Samsung Screens (they look kinda washed out) and the Japanese ones have Sharp screens which have (arguably) the better colors.
This one was a Sharp. I'll take apart my US 1K and see if it has the same screen.
And for those who didn't see the part 2 video despite all the links, spoiler alert, it was the same screen.
Either way, they have extreme ghosting issues.
I was wondering about the ips screen for my psp 1000 (I have it since the premiere), he survived a dog attack, but it pisses me off how the image is blurry when moving. I know it's old equipment, but even today I look at gba with ips v2 from FP. It is a bit of a regret that psp does not have a good display. In Poland, maybe it can be bought in a few years, or on Aliexpress.
Gotta love the thiccie DSD 1000
did you not solder the little pins like i’ve seen other videos of people do? or is it not necessary?
The psp 2000 which I have is a real Mirror. Even in daylight on highest brightness is hard to see something.
Does anyone know a good website to buy psp games from? And also a new front shell because mine is pretty scratched up
The oem screen is quite good but the ghosting isn't great. It's not exactly a game gear though.
I just ordered a totally mint PSP 1000 because I have been feeling nostalgic. Now I am wondering if I should install this screen? Can anyone who has done this give me some input about the battery life difference after the install? Also where can I send my PSP to have this done because I have no assembly skills whatsoever.
Hey! Which one did you buy? There seems to be a few different (I assume) nit options. General, 500 and 1000.
1000
Why was the ips screen in top the battery sign place was cut off, however the bottom was in lieu of a black section, how comes？and how to adjust it, or it was this ips unfit the original system ？
I want to fix my screen because it has little tiny lines all over the screen that look like the spots on your phone screen when you get grease on your screen from food
Does the screen work without soldering? I just want to replace my broken screen
Hello, do your's PSP IPS screen suffers from image retention too?
Hi, makho. Do you know what kind of a screen is this? By the adaptor we can assume it was not originally meant for PSP? Maybe we can get it even cheaper. :)
I wish there was an IPS screen version for PSP 3000 available...
no idea what the specific LCD is for, no. Could be anything, even a coffee maker.
Ohhhhhhhh this looks like fun. Wonder if there are any new developments on this.
wow it looks great. thanks for video
does the ips have the same ghosting problem as the original display?
I got bought a PSP recently, but the image is not as clear as I remember the PSP to have. You can clearly see the pixels like scan lines and while having a grey or green theme the letter on the menu become barely readable. I don't know if it was always like that with the PSP 3000, or have I grown too accustom to HD, 4K and such that the difference has become jarring?
He talks about this in the video. It was the criticism in the reviews of the 3000 when it came out.
@@RetroDawn It was a faulty PSP, I returned it and got a another one.
I LOVE the 1000 shape and weight , it's built like a tank. The grip doesn't hurt my hands for long game play
My 3000 units are all very noisy cause the plastic is so weak. BUT the biggest issue is that the 3000s disc drive is trash and always stop working. My 1000 runs quite while reading the disc's. The screen blur is annoying but its not that big a deal. I think the 2000 is good medium still a bit chunky yet brighter.
That said the replacement looks good and the new ribbon mod is a huge deal so way much better.
Screen blur gives the 1000 even more charm.
I still prefer the 1000 screen. The 2000 had bigger gaps between each pixel if I remember correctly. (Cool mod btw)
That was the 3000, not the 2000 IIRC... The 1000 came with a by now dated, but very high quality SHARP panel, the 2000 was kinda meh in the color quality department and the 3000 had a much better screen colors -wise, but had a weird pixel matrix (it was intended for vertical, rather than horizontal orientation and looked like a weird interlaced image)
The biggest flaw I see with the IPS mod is that the whole display is shifted up a couple mm, you can see when browsing the XMB menu, the top row of icons are sligthly cut off and there's a visible black border on the bottom of the screen.
part 2
@@makho Yup, I watched part 2 right after this and was like "well that comment was redundant"
Hi, would an oled for switch be possible? Thats like my real only complain about it, with one it would be really the best
Possible, yes, but unlikely. Someone would need to manufacture a new LCD or find an existing LCD with the proper size and spec and make an active adapter to make it fit. Neither are within my skill set but it's not impossible.
Does this effect the battery life at all
Did they ever revise the square button on the later PSP-1000s? I had a launch unit with a sticky square button but then my later one from 2007 has no issues at all. Not tempted to open it up to check since it's fully functioning.
I haven't heard that was an issue. It's certainly never been an issue on my units.
@@makho They probably just found a way to make a better contact with the buttons despite being offset. But the launch PSPs had sticky square buttons, dead pixels and a potential for UMDs to be sent flying out. I tried replicating that with mine at the time for fun but couldn't do it though haha.
in the recovery menu there is an option to swap around X and O for accepting and going back in the main menu.
why is that in the recovery menu...?
Is there a shell with glass for these as the acrylic always scratches so easily?
no
Got my 1002 today. Just finished modding it. Got Liberty city stories and a couple other games with it. Screen looks amazing compared to the 3000. Although it does seem to ghost a fair bit noticeable in GTA. How's the replacement LCD? Even if same quality, a bit brighter and ghosting free would be worth it??
my opinion of PSP consoles i pretty low but the screen is nice. I don't think it's worth upgrading a PSP though, it's better to just buy a better system like a Vita
@@makho yeah already have a vita 1000. It's lovely and have the psp emu on it. But its just not the same. 😅 despite being better in every way. Lol. Yeah psp not the greatest screens I agree although they old AF now.
@@robthomson1581 Yeah, nothing beats running on actual hardware instead of emulation.
The original PSP screen was made by Sharp so obviously it holds up good
It's still a LCD from 2005 and the industry didn't quite have LCD tech figured out until later. I mean, the replacement LCD looks like it's from the same era too so it's not that much better but still.
you forgot to bridge a connection on the motherboard to center the image, its on the taobao site for the LCD adapter.
I did, yes. I'm working on that right now.
How exactly does that work,?
@@WarpPal watch the part 2 video...
Awesome Video Makho! I have a request, could you upload the file for the NGPC centering bracket? Didn't exist on thingiverse anymore!!
www.thingiverse.com/thing:3834392 ?
@@makho yes man, that one!! I have a military blue one, the one with the piece of plastic which hold the lcd on the bottom, the files on thingiverse of your centering bracket seems to be missing buddy! 404 page continues to come when I am trying to download it! Thanks for it!!
remember a soldering point for no backlight i still have a sharp screen new but no psp a oled mod coulbe crazy-
Can this mod work on the slim models?
you didn’t solder the mother board pins that’s why the screen don’t match up and is off
No way, you think?
hello. If you look closely at this replaced ips liquid crystal, the screen is shifted upward. It seems that such a phenomenon occurs when the main body version is close to the latest. However, it seems that the position of the screen returns when the point on the main board is shorted with solder. I think you can do it, so I would be happy if you could make a video when you have time.
literally the pinned comment.
Lol love the intro. What battery do you recommend? Mine doesn't seem to hold a charge and wondering where to get replacements.
The battery situation on the PSP is an absolute mess. I cannot recommend any batteries because I have not found any good ones.
@@makho What about Cameron Sino brand? They make PSP 1000 batteries I haven't bought one yet but considering.
lol you can mod your own batteries into it..i once did long ago when i was i high school cos too much fake batteries. you should check the capacity though
@@neocortez9254 I did that on my 2k, it still doesn't fix the issue. The PSP has active circuitry in the battery boards (which are required to use batteries) and this active circuitry just eats batteries up whether you are using the console or not.
My grandma would call it a DSD from holding it upside down 🤣
My grandma would call it a Walkman
How does it secure into place? The same way the original LCD panel does? Does it have clips or screws? To me it looks day and night different but I have tritanopia so see things differently, saturation is what I need
same as OEM
thanks for the reply. Did it come with padding to use between the lcd and casing? Like this one has (black felt):

@@MartinChir if you watched the video, you saw what it came with.
I just watched "Why The Game Boy Pocket Sucks". As you seem to be really good with batteries, do you have anything to say about the PSP battery drain problem...? I'm talking about how after a while the PSP battery starts to drain to dead when turned off...?
PSP uses a terrible battery design and there currently is no work around.
@@makho wow, thanks for that.
Hey dude, can you mod a real joystick on the psp? Ben heck did it years ago in an article with a ps2 analog, but it was lost to time and not even the internet archive could save the article.

@@makho yes. amazing, now this plus the dual stick mod and a big battery for epic win.
Can you link me to a good quality screen front shell
no. I specifically said in my video that I don't even think they exist.
I installed this mod but part of the top of the screen is cut off like where the time would be and battery indicator at 21:00 the ips screen position is off it is pushed up too far. There is some space at bottom which is dark and unused. It’s almost a deal breaker because of this.
see part 2
@@makho Thanks! I went back to the OEM screen haha.
I Love the PSP. About the X and O, If you have CFW, In the Recovery Menu you can swap those around regardless if you have US or JPN model. Also, Infinity is only Useful on PSP 2000 TA-88 v3, PSP 3000, PSP Street and PSP Go that don't support Permanent CFW like PSP 1000 and PSP 2000 v2 and V1. You should install ME CFW or Pro CFW on that PSP 1000.
And about sa IPS Mod, kinda disappointing, not as good as the Mods on the GB, GBC, DMG, GBA and GBA SP.
You know that infinity supports all psp models now and even on the psp street it can be made permanent now?
D. T. Yes I know. But the infinity 2.0 isnt a permanent CFW like on the PSP 1000 and PSP 2000. Meaning it just launch LCFW at boot time. If you compare the boot time of Infinity and Permanent CFW like ME, Permanent CFW is faster.
That memory card was out of my 3K. My other memory cards have different CFW installers on them.
@@makho Do you have proper Pro Duo cards or do you have adapters? I have a proper 16gb Pro Duo but last year I got an adapter with a 64gb micro SD. I have also seen adapters with 2 Micro SD slots and I'm wondering if performance is good with those. The bigger the storage and the more games you have and the longer it take when you click on the game tab.
What's the diff between PRO and ME Firmware?
la oantalla se te ve asi muy subida porque no colocaste el soporte que trae la original por eso se ve asi cortada arriba y elevada abajo
Wait so you didn’t have to solder and bridge the mother board?
You do. See the pinned comment.
PSP1000 is my 2nd favorite as the PSP3000 had better processing power and a more reliable thumb stick
Nice video. Would this mod solve the scanlines un the 3000 model?
no since this screen is still only compatible with the 1K
@@makho uh bummer. It would be nice if you could get a 3000 because it is very umcomfortable playing with those lines.

You do realize that the cropped area is fixed by installing the screen properly, right? That's why this video is PART 1 OF 2
@@makho Didnt realise that, kinda lost interest after the first comparison. Would you say its worth doing then? I do love the 1000 model but i have always wanted a nice new clear screen for it. I should probably watch part 2
@@Twi66e No, just get a better console like a Vita instead
Having no ghosting is a giant plus though.
Hi do you know if there is any mods for the psp go
none that I know of
I have all psp model....but I like the psp 1000 more than other because it big heavy and the screen is beautifull than other models.....not sure why everyone like psp 3000 for it screen look horrible actually...
The 3000 is the best console for the PSP, but I still want to get a PSP street just to have one!
Yeah this is cool, but as you say, the sharp panel in the original is plenty good already, plus the PSVita exists if one wants a FAR better OLED panel :)
Yes but playing on the old 1000 psp just feels right....That said VITA all the way , esp shooters and games like God Eaters . That second analog stick made many psp games new to me . The Vita is amazing.
Wait so I can possibly add a 3000 psp screen on to my 1001 psp

@Shyverin is 100% correct. Here's how: www.ifixit.com/Device/Sony_Handheld_Console
There is an artifacts when I playing Ridge Racer on that ips mod.
Is their ips for a 3000 lcd?
no
Why did you say Nintendo DS starting off?
The contrast on my ips screen is garbage I tried 3 different panels too
Ips panel has better contrast , better viewing angles. If the cost is low ,its worth the upgrade.
now for the downside:
1. it drains battery faster
2. harder to install (requires tedious soldier)
3. only doable for PSP 1000 and so far not on 2k, 3k & go
@@Spheredalai I wonder what the input lag is like?
Are the consoles overclocked? I was really looking forward to this solely for the decreased ghosting.
Aside from CFW prerequisites to run games off of the memory card (and the IPS LCD in one unit and case mods for the other units), all the consoles are functionally stock.
@@makho I see. You can overclock them very easily with cfw by pressing select in the main menu and selecting the option using the overlay menu. Can you test how gta runs on the IPS psp running at 333mhz?
I have Vita 1000 and still love my PSP 2000 and 3000.
I have to admit the ips is more vibrant than the 2000 model on camera
If you're curious about the replacement housing for the PSP 1000/1/6/etc. ...check this video out...I would reccommend ceramic white but you got several colors to choose from, it's not that bad.

Finally got arond to doing this and I decided to come abck to this video. I love the brightness of the IPS one. But my old screen was totalled in terms of burn in and watermarks. This new IPS kinda gave new life to it. That being said, I still like the PSP3000 screen better than this IPS. But for the 1000 I feel its a pretty solid screen.. maybe i should grab a new SHARP one from china and see what those are like
so it is not better than 3000 originals screen?
@@kamil40013 there’s better contrast on the 3000 in my opinion. I like it better. But I prefer holding the 1000 more so I’m still always using the 1000. The IPS screen is 100% worth it now that I’ve used it for over a year
What's with the "DSD" are you pronouncing it upside down? Its "PSP"
yes, it's called a "joke". I often use a form of "humor" in my videos.
Can you do that in ps vita?
no, 1K PSP only
PSVita has an OLED panel on the 1000 series and an IPS on the 2000. No need for any mod, although I believe OLED to IPS replacements for the Vita exist, I don't know why you'd want one.
The new ips screen seems to be out of alignment? Its cutting the top off of the screen and has a thin black bar going across the bottom? Or is it just my eyes! Great vid though, thanks for posting.
Yes, see pinned comment.
Ips looks better than 3000 screen.
This is crazyness! Who would bother with a PSP... when there's a PSPGo?
The PSP go is not great at all to control.
Why would anyone bother with a psp go when there's a vita. Yeah sounds stupid right? It's personal preference.
@@chamoo232 the storage is very limited on the pspgo even with the m2 memory card which can max out at 16GB without using a external adapter. psvita would be a better option
You should buy a broken Japanese PSP on ebay and use its shell to fix yours. They go for like $10-15, and usually are in good condition cosmetic wise.

The PSP I bought was only $10 in the first place. I'm not spending more on it to fix it. I just don't really care about it. Besides, my fix is holding up very well.
Ah, okay.
Yeah Japanese people tend to look after their stuff.
Please fix that drifting thumb stick.
I could. Or since PSPs suck compared to Vita consoles, I'll just use my Vita and not put in the effort.
yes you're correct it's not worth it. get a psp 3000. or a vita. also why use infinity on psp 1000, that's for 3000 and 2000 with patched motherboards.
why are people getting so hung up on infinity on the 1K? It works fine on all models.
@@makho coz it is not for psp 1000. Lol
not worth it unless you need to replace the screen. the original looked better to me. Super easy Though to thats a big plus
