- I found a hard drive for the PSP 1000..... You shouldn't buy it.
Don't even look for it.
Its bad......
Sorry everything was kind of dark. I don't have a good set up for stuff like this.
Anyway check out my other stuff here!

Thanks for watching! - Hry
3 things to improve your videos
1. Better lighting
2. Cutscenes (the blank times between each monologue are awkward)
3. Colorful thumbnail with big fonts
I wasn't trying to blame. Nice vid tho.
I actually owned this at retail sometime when it released. This thing was priced like $200-$300. At the time, it was the highest and only way to get 4GB… I also remember that the HDD part would not stay in place like the battery side because the battery side actually clips in compared to the HDD side just kind of going into the back screw holes of the psp. I really loved the psp back then and really wanted the most possible space for it.
Crazy how far tech has come along that so much space can now be crammed into a small memory stick and cheaper as opposed to back then, all that being needed in an enclosure for the psp and being priced so high. I am so ashamed to have bought it 😭😭😭😭😭😭
You could try modding it. open it up find out the type of drive used and see how much a faster one maybe even an SSD runs and swap it out. Could prove very interesting.
Really no need for it, you can get a $3 adapter to use microsd cards in the PSP instead of the proprietary memorystick pro duo. Can grab a 512gb microsd card for like $40 and away ya go. This was bought purely for the novelty of it and not as some sort of usable addition to his PSP haha
Hey mate I've seen a few comments in here about your lighting and also you mentioned the darkness in the video. Jump onto A l i express and look up this product:
6000mAh Chargeable LED Table Lamp USB 3 Color Stepless Dimmable Desk Lamp Touch Foldable Eye Protection Reading Night Light
It's a lamp with 3 brightness settings (tap button to cycle them) and has a built in battery that charges from USB cable. The light output would be perfect for this setup of yours.
It'll be under $10 delivered to you.
I never knew this existed, so i thank you for that.
Great video man i love the stuff you do but you could use some lighting on the desk it would be awesome to do but overall 10/10 ❤
I wanted this so bad as a kid, the DS had a max media player too, which I wanted. this came out during a time when flash memory was expensive and this was still cheaper than getting a magicgate card.
It would be interesting to replace the 4gb hardrive with an ssd
oh wow, i didn't realize i was viewer 6. cool vid, nicely done :)
The thing that always cracked me up about this pack is that it costed like 2x the GDP of Morocco. Seriously, this thing was $50 less than the PSP AT LAUNCH. And yes, it does feel better on the model it was designed for (1000)
The worst part: It WASN'T even made with gaming in mind.
8:52 it could be the smaller ram on the 1000
Great point! I always forget the RAM in the slims got doubled.
You got me curious so I timed it. Using Hoth Conquest in Star Wars Battlerfront 2.
From pressing "Launch" in instant action to faction select.
PSP 1000
Loading from UMD - 51.79 Seconds. (I'm sure this varies depending on the health of the drive)
Loading from the Hard Drive - 28.19 Seconds.
Loading from the Memory Stick - 14.92 Seconds.
PSP 3000 (I Don't have a 2000 but it would probably be similar)
UMD - 50.78
HDD - 32.47 (The connector did not want to go in. Really had to cram it in for it to read lol)
MemStic - 15.42
Not gonna lie. I wasn't expecting this. It's possible the increased RAM helps in other games
or emulating other systems. According to people on reddit, most PSP games don't see a benefit from the extra RAM.
Thanks for the comment! I had fun exploring this :D
@@Schnell_Things Ah! Interesting!..
This was an experience
Never even knew that these existed. I just thought that there's only memory sticks.
Why was this even a thing when memory sticks pro duo went up to 16 an 32 gb.
This thing has been in the box for nearly 20years.... Definitely a bad battery that drained and died
I never heard of this😂 but I would definitely buy it if it was including L2 and R2 buttons for playing PlayStation one games that would be awesome 🤩 yeah and I know it’s not possible but it could be so cool
I just found my psp.. How do I update the software so I can get more emulators like ps1 games
www.pspunk.com/psp-cfw/
This is the guide that I use. It's not the most beginner-friendly guide out there but it is the most up-to-date one. Take it slow and read carefully!
If you run into problems or get confused try searching for a PSP ARK-4 installation guide. ARK-4 is the latest and best custom firmware available for all PSP models.
They also have this guide for converting PS1 games to PSP format.
www.pspunk.com/psp-psx2psp/
This requires you to own a physical copy of the PS1 game and a disc drive to dump the game. I use ImgBurn to dump all my games.
Hope this helps!
Thos is even slower than loading from umd directly xD
It's so chunky 😂
Why ?! 😂😂😂
