    This is a cool mod and I'd deffo do it in any faulty PSP1000 I come across. Can't help but feel this should have been listed in the cons section: No PSP game support yet, and the ps1 emulation could also be slightly lacking when compared to POPS loading also available in standard cfw PSP.
    So while I'm sure it's a bump in power and will give better n64 emulation performance, it's also fair to say there is some loss in PSP \ PS1 performance too.

    This mod shows that the PSP was an incredible marvel of engineering. Not only the construction as you can see, but the power of the device. A goddang PS2 almost, in 2004, portable. Their choice to go with optical discs was something only Sony would have the balls to do as well, and really allowed it to shine with all the graphics it can pull off and the depth of games.
    PSP's marvel of engineering aside, this mod really follows. That level of proper engineering of boards is as incredible as it can get and as an engineer myself, I know, absolutely love and respect the effort and ability put into this. And it's upgradable to boot, considering it's modularity. The only thing I could point as a change would be using the Memory Stick slot for the Pi's SD slot on the carrier board, and that sure isn't much of a thing to complain even.
    One funny thing tho is running PS1 games on it or PSP emulated, that's the silliest most roundabout way of achieving the functionality it already had, but of course that isn't the point, I can imagine this being a beast running Wii games even when the software support is there and the Pi compute modules get powerful enough.
    Imagine a PSP running Switch games? That would be crazy!

      A raspberry pi priced computer isn't going to powerful enough to run wii games for the next 20 years. We are approaching the physical limits for shrinking transistors, and so pretty soon were going to have to just start making things bigger for performance and we'll basically have hit a hard limit on how much computing power a modern sized CPU dye could ever have. Not considering quantum computers.

      This mod isn't going to emulate better than what the PSP is already capable of doing through simple software mods already.

      @@Queso305 When the Pi 5 is fully developed and community supported I think this will be a useful mod. However it is still going to be mostly limited to the people who want to find use for their broken PSPs. We are living in a time of oversaturation as far as emulation handhelds are concerned and nothing about the version of Raspberry Pi being used in the video is worth the effort beyond a very small group. I'm all for options, but Tito made this mod seem like a perfect option for retro emulation, while completely negating the countless other choices and even those software based for the PSP itself. I don't know what you used to struggle with your PSP emulation options, but emulation has come a long way over time and there is a reason why modded PSPs with proper emulation software fetch so much money online!

    Good mod if something happens to the mainboard of the PSP. I think the only issue I can think of is the question about whether or not a person wants to replace the mainboard for the PSP cause then it wouldn't REALLY be a PSP anymore, for those purists. Feel like it would be cool to go full custom with different color shells and buttons and whatnot.

      @daimer8660 Let's say that there are a hundred seventeen million console players out there. This was the number of units shipped for the PS4 during the eighth generation and the best-selling system. This makes it a good baseline if anything else. The playstation vita only sold sixteen million units. This means that there's only one playstation vita for every seven people to share. Do you see why low level Or even cycle accurate emulation of failed systems is important? And why destroying the only units that can play these games By making unnecessary modifications to them natively is a bad idea? Not to mention the vita has a built in camera, microphone, motion controls, and the rear touch panel. All those things are rather difficult to emulate unless the hardware It's being emulated on also has those things. This is why preservation of the system is extremely important for the sake of archival.

    A very nice project, but I'm not sure it's worth it at the moment. If this CM can run up to PS1 and N64 games, and maybe a psp emulator, it doesn't really offer much more than a unmodded psp in terms of power and systems. And one can always swap a better LCD, or a bigger battery, on the original PSP 1000 guts. Definitely interesting, indeed, will follow for future evolutions :) This can obv be a nice way to reuse faulty psps

    I think that the PS Vita might be the best retro emulation console(with only software mods). The main issue I used to have was with the locked down memory card, but OFW allows you to set an SD in the game card slot as the memory card. The New 3DS is a close second because then you can play DS games, but I don't often find myself wanting to play DS games I don't own.

      This mod would be impressive if it had a simpler install design. A slim down pi board cut to fit a UMD disc base that can be inserted or removed from the bay, just like all other PSP games. Benefiting from a compact design, with an easy install all while maintaining aesthetic uniformity with the PSP. Best of all, eliminating the need to gut the entire console. I'm thinking of something along the lines of how the Dreamcast can have it's optical drive replaced with a physical emulator. Although this would not particularly be an alteration to the PSP, but something that is portable like any other UMD disc.

    I stand by my opinion that this is a terrible and pointless mod. For starters you can install retroarch on a normal PSP. For finishers, it'll play PSP games WORSE than the original hardware. There is literally zero reason to do this. Just put a cm4 in a Retroflag gameboy case. There are 40$ handhelds that are more powerful than this too. Your phone is a better option than this.

    we're not sure if we could do that to our 1001 as it's still a working console, but if we came across a non-working example it would be hard to resist turning it into the powerful Linux handheld we've always wanted it to be.
