Thank you for showcasing our work so well! As always your videos are top notch! I’d never have thought when I started the BT mod nearly 3 years ago for fun it would have evolved into this. It’s a shame I couldn’t get the hardware for the portable version complete intime, got prototype videos on my channel if anyone is interested. As mentioned in the video lots of refinement and enhancements on the way :) Found out an hour ago we can use mouse and keyboards for example!
At this point, I think everything has been consolized except the one handheld I have wanted. But this mod is really neat and a huge show of effort by its developers. Makes me want to try this.
@@Neoxubu the PSTV sports dual shock 3 & 4 controllers which many people have and it also supports Bluetooth headphones which even the switch doesn't support!!! The support for BT headphones really puts it over the top for me.
this is awesome to see, and honestly the pricing is extremely appealing. I think the biggest con is that you can get most of these benefits with a psp go and not need any mods…but if you really love using UMDs then that isn’t viable
@@alexyo3927 the PSX (PS2 DVR) had XMB before the psp or ps3. And graphically it looked close to the ps2, but it wasnt really as close as it seems, it was a lot of trickery.
I wanted to do something like this with a wired PS2 controller back when I was in college and the PSP 2k was released. This project is the push I need to finally check out the nearby Goodwill Computer Works store.
I really like this mod. However, it would be really neat to add HDMI to the BT board to integrate HDMI out of the device. Other than that, this is a really cool mod! I want to play GTA China town wars on the big screen :) haha
This looks very interesting. But this seems like a great deal of labor to consolize a PSP that still doesn't output lossless digital video and audio output. I'll patiently wait for a version that properly brings these signals into the digital domain!
Feel like this would benefit from a HDMI mod. I know there is one already out there but I feel like that one is just it gets the job done and could be a lot better
Well, finally! I'm really excited about this since I heard about it. I'm following Stephen Cooper I guess a full year now and then Benergy Live. It's actually impressive how the project was evolving and now we can not only use Bluetooth controller on the PSP but rather make a full consolize version that is pretty straightforward. Kudos for all the people involved on this, and as always thanks to Tito to show this to the masses 🙌 PS: I can't wait to bring this to Uruguay and start playing!
Funny this video pops up in 2024 like this. A few weeks ago while looking for something my 5 year old and I stumbled across my old PSP 1000 which he was enthralled with. When we visited Santa he asked for a Red PSP (guy was lost had no clue what he was asking for) Fast forward I found one on Ebay for him ($22) and ordered it a new shell in red, IPS Display and installed ARK 4. I think he's going to be really excited Christmas morning.
Я как-то давно подключал пиху к телику и укладывал её в подарочный коробок и в этот момент подумал ( это где-то примерно в нулевых было ) . А вот бы сделать полноценный корпус. Так и отложил проект в долгий ящик. Как я рад, что не я один с такой мыслью. Респект парням за проделанную работу.
kinda crazy to tell the viewers to order the boards directly from the 2 guys and follow it up with PCBWay advertisment 😂 but i love that, it supports the little guys ❤
I think this is absolutely necessary because it's only going to be a losing battle with PSP batteries, and having the power cable plugged in is the only solution I can trust. And sure, while we can technically play our PSPs with no battery at all and the power cable plugged in, the slightest twist of the cable can cause you to lose power. This mod also eliminates the need for the expensive PSPgo and its dock, as your power, video, and wireless controller needs are now covered. And I'm guessing we'll now have a proper right analog setup too, something you definitely can't get with a PSPgo and PS3 controller. Would be nice if Retromodworks would also take a crack at repairing UMD drives while he's taking apart the PSP. A working drive is kind of a big deal for this mod, isn't it?
Boy, do I love UMD. Such a satisfying little disc. This would be great for a psp with a broken display. Really doesn't make sense without a good upscaler, though.
PSP emulation has been in such a good place for so long, it's hard to put a use case on this device. No uprez alone is tough for me. I guess the physical game compatibility is neat.
Remember when Sony called it “art” for the PSP-1000’s square button pad to be truncated by the LCD frame causing flaky inputs? Basically said we shouldn’t question their engineers for their artistic choices. Consequently, it could use a Bluetooth controller more than these other models. :(
Just picked up a Psp 2000 with a busted screen about an hour ago!!! Looks like ill be ordering the Shell, and Kit next week (If they arent sold out by then)
22:12 with all the extra space in the new case..... isn't there room for the HDMI kit too? It probably wouldn't be too difficult to make a taller mid frame to allow the space for it
This mod looks fantastic, thank you very much for the video on it! I was curious about the lag that might be introduced from using the Bluetooth controller. I ask because one of my favorite games in Patapon and the last time I tried to play that with a Bluetooth controller the timing ended up being slightly off, and later levels became almost impossible for me. I checked the website and didn't see anything about it. I wonder if anything was noticed in the games that were played on it. Also, what games were played on it.
Agreed. One of my biggest pet peeves is when an idiot just destroys a perfectly functioning device to do trendy mod. If a person can't use a broken "donar" device, they shouldn't be destroying perfectly working ones. Etsy artists were infamous for doing this to a lot of retro hardware.
@@DocTime56 My 1000 motherboard LCD Connector is broken. I could try soldering a new one on and fix 2 broken traces. But with a kit like this I can just skip all of that.
This is a fun build when your PSP is broken or damaged in a certain way. But because the resolution quality from PSP to TV is not that great a PS Vita TV is still the better option although you can not play your physical games on that. There is also a DIY PS Vita Dock option you can build for yourself with a Raspberry Pi and play PSP games by using a modded Vita and this so called Vita Dock😁
It feels to me like they could have designed a second ribbon cable with the unused pins blanked out and included both in the kit just to prevent issues/shorts.
For PSP video out. It uses both types of AV. Just jailbreak the PSP and that unlocks it to all regions. I have 2 PSPs, 1000 modded and default 3000, got hundreds of physical games and umd movies for it. Love the PSP
(PSP GO/PSTV) If you're not concerned with the physical media part and wanting to be able to run physical UMDs, then the easiest way to go about this is to buy PSP Go. I was curious if you guys were going to add any type of upscaler or soundboard. Since there's not any boards or upscalers been added the only advantage this has over a PSP Go is the fact that it runs physical media if that's not a concern you can do everything that this does with a PSP Go with a fraction of the footprint, you can pair your PS3 controller to it, granted you will have to have a physical PS3 console to do that, but then run it to the TV and Bob's your uncle. You can also use the PSTV, again as long as you're not concerned with physical media/ UMD's. This is an awesome little project I will probably eventually do to one of mine, I believe I have a 3000 with a bad screen I intended to replace. I may do this instead just because I want one lol. Awesome video and concept Guys 👌 Thank You for your hard work 🙏!! BTW there is also a fairly rare dock that you can get for the PSP Go that basically makes it a Switch type console.
I'm sure iv seen a hdmi mod for the psp think it was a video the retro future did, if I'm not mistaken it piggy backs the signal directly from the screen and diverts it to the hdmi port. Just thought that might work well with this mod as you would have hdmi functionality and no need for the cable used in it atm. Cool idea though definitely plan something similar myself.
That’s an interesting device, due the psp is already disassembled it’s possible to use the available space in the case for different things like an external scalator pcb and hdmi, really the possibilities are endless, and would be better if the umd cover would change for a matching 3d print one, that’s not necessary, it’s a cosmetic improvement but it would look so awesome
2k/3k are still great on their own. If this was for 1000, i'd say this mod is great but that fact right there killed it for me. 1000s have a bad screen, battery life and are just bulky... unless you 2K/3K has a heavily yellowed / dead screen (it's a pain to replace), please don't undo these handhelds. L. Also the 2K/3K have native video out capability, and look fine with the Retrotink5x, so this is still pointless anyway.
Very tempting. Can we mod / jailbreak a PSP after this? Or is there some reason we can only do it using its original buttons etc? Great vid as per, and cool project.
I love the look, but needing to open up the case every time to mess with the A/V cables is kinda meh. I feel like something could be done with the Remote Joy Lite codebase that would negate the need to even open the PSP. Though that would also require a modded PSP and probably cost 10x as much since you'd need something like an FPGA on the PCB to handle the I/O...
