  • For the longest time I have been buying my PSPs from either Ebay or some classified listings website like Craigslist. This time I tried AliExpress. So this is how it went.

      ​@TotalKommando I picked up a psp 1000 from your link and managed to get a pink one in very good shape. Slight dark patch on a spot of the screen but overall very happy. I do however have a umd drive that spins up but doesn't start up. Would you recommend a umd drive replacement? I checked some simple fixes online but no luck. Is it possible that the current software doesn't register north American umds or is that even a thing?

      @@demijebus6831 Sick, screen you will eventually replace anyways but UMD, it could be anything, could be dirty, if it was a region issue, it should at least show something in the menu, but give an error when trying to launch, in the past I sometimes had a bad UMD disc that does what you described.
      If it spins smoothly, thats a good sign, the UMD drive optical lens might just be dirty, you can spray some isopropyl onto a microfiber and try to get a couple wipes across it, without taking the whole thing apart if you can, wrap the microfiber onto something thats can reach.
      I did some UMD cleaning in my shell swap video, perhaps you can take a look: czcams.com/video/yTVGM6Nlr40/video.htmlsi=hOdalDI934tm_R1s

    I had a psp 1000 with the TA-079 board and one psp 2000 with the TA-085 board, both with CFW 6.60 pro Neuron with LEDA, PROMETEUS and pops-loader, for years I used them to emulate PSX, GBA, SNES, NES, GBC, GB and Sega Genesis. The only mod I did to the hardware was remove the UMD drive and put a bigger battery, about 6 yrs ago the psp 1000 died and 2 yrs later the 2000 followed (not even perfection last forever). During the pandemic situation with the lack of options I purchased a Powkiddy q90, last year I purchased an AMBERNIC R351MP and for Christmas I got a retroid Pocket 3 from a friend. 3 consoles to substitute the functionality of my beloved piano black gone treasures.

    Hey, another question. I bought from one of the sellers you recommended. Happy with the device, it’s spot on. I wondered though. I wanted to copy all the data onto one of my reliable SanDisk cards rather than relying on the cheap one they send. I put the card in after doing like for like copy but the PSP couldn’t find the games. Any reason for this or are the memory cards locked to the devices?

    • @TotalKommando
      @TotalKommando  Před 2 měsíci +2

      Here is how I clone my cards.
      - Put new card in moded psp and format inside the psp ( it should create a the usual moded psp folder structure )
      - Then plug in the new and old cards onto your pc ( if you dont have another card reader, copy everything to your pc then to the new card )
      - In the root directory, select all and paste from the old to the new
      Its pretty simple, if its not reading your games, then either your cfw is not working or something wrong with your ISO folder

    It can be really dangerous to buy a PSP on Aliexpress. They call them refurbished, but they just put a little work into them...
    On my 1000, the shell quality was poor and the umd drive doesn't work.
    The 3000 had a shell that was in poor condition
    and with the 2000 I only got the charging cable and device without a battery and memory card...
    OK, but the fact that it was hacked in advance was cool and practical and it's probably better than Ebay despite everything

      I buy from AliExpress I get a working base unit with extras that I can use to further modify and test with, so its a win win, get extra goodies (cheap battery & SD & analog stick I will modify ) + a working unit which I will reshell anyways : )

      Dangerous? That’s being extremely overdramatic I have been purchasing from AliExpress for years and they have very good customer service if you got a defective unit it’s very easy to exchange it and most people would reshell the consoles you get anyways if anything eBay has more scams and Amazon rips you off on price every time nearly $200 dollars for a PSP 3000 and I got mine in perfect condition from AliExpress for $75 and I reshelled it with a limited edition oem.

    I think your assumption on the battery power is a little off, considering we have super alkaline AAA batteries from Duracell, half the size of them at 1085Mah, so saying those above 1000Mah are "impossible" isn't true. unlikely maybe, but it's not impossible.
    Still a great vid nonetheless, I plan to buy an aftermarket upgraded PS Vita online and this is a good indicator of what to look out for.

    • @TotalKommando
      @TotalKommando  Před 19 dny

      It's a known fact, its impossible to fit anything above 1400 mah (for the slim) or 2200 mah (for the phat) at 3.7v with current lithium ion batteries in those small shells.

      It sounds like a pretty easy fix:
      - Order a new battery

      - Get a cheap micro sd card reader
      - follow a simple modding tutorial on youtube ( I will have one in the future that is easy to follow )
      and you should be able to download games after a little reddit search : )
