- 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: th-cam.com/video/yTVGM6Nlr40/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hOdalDI934tm_R1s

Hope this helps, lemme know how it goes
I know people automatically think aftermarket or fake when shopping on Ali Express, but just like eBay, there are a lot of import items on Ali Express.
So true, it reminds me of GPUs too, many people think most of the ones that are available on Aliexpress are fake or aftermarket until you do research and they are actual products just from local chinese distributors instead of the usual ones we know in the west, I have had two Aliexpress GPUs and no complains aside from swapping the thermal paste
@@ricardog.s2505 bought a Xiaomi laptop from AliExpress from a "reputable" vendor and it broke within few months. No chance of getting it fixed or even purchasing spare parts. It was a over $1k laptop and swore I will never buy electronics without a proper warranty again.
i think it has a lot to do with how they present articles, they don't look really trustworthy oftentimes
You can't make a blanket statement like that. The shady sellers definitely send you stuff like a 1060 when you thought you were getting a sick deal on a 3080. Sure, you should be smart and realize you can't get a 3080 for 150 dollars, but a scam is still a scam.@@ricardog.s2505
Also big you tubers buy the fake ones on purpose and pretend they don't know lol
PSP is my Sony last love. They had so much going right at that point and supported that little handheld well. A PSP is so remarkable. Especially at $60 usd. Great video. You're edits for unboxing are magnificent!
Last console designed by Ken Kutaragi. Playstation died when he was let go...
damn :(
@robertharper3114 if Kutaragi-san wasn't involved it's not a REAL PlayStation!
I've never had a bad experience with Ali. I've never really taken a big risk and I examine listings closely, but I've never been surprised.
Never have I never ever!
Yep. I also don't look at new listings with almost no reviews, unless its from a certified seller.
Yup, if you know what you're doing aliexpress can be really good
i got scammed once
@@Chronor yup that's why you should always do a bit of research before buying it
Like look at the reviews, how much they sold and if the seller is popular
That intro and the hand gestures.
Genius!
Thanks lol I debated if I should keep it
I remember being so excited playing Assasins Creed Bloodlines on my PSP back in the day. Now I play them all on my Steam Deck. Gaming tech is advancing and it brings a tear to my eye. Many of us don't have the time to sit and play in front of a TV these days, so it's awesome emulation is strong enough to allow us freedom to play wire-lessly.
Just found an old psp 1000 in a drawer and was planning to do shell swap and lcd mod, Nice video!

Ive Never been Interested in the PSP but since a few Videos ive Seen i now love These.
And your Video was very good!
Love how passionate you're about these❤
The psp was ahead of its time
Bro your videos are awesome i would watch them for the rest of the day
I just bought an OG 1000 from a 2nd hand shop, and it's in pristine condition (or recent referbed) I still absolutely love the psp to this day! My fav game is GTA VCS .❤👍👍🔥
I thank TH-cam because they suggested this great video to me. Two weeks ago I bought a psvita and for some reason TH-cam started suggesting to me a lot of content related to the psp or psvita. It is truly a wonderful field for content creater.

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.

On PS VITA you can emulate the whole psp ambient trough Arenaline.
PSP was a cool little system
This white one is such a beauty. I have black one but need to replace worn off shell

I ordered psp 3000 from Ali Express. I hope it will be good. Although I can order one from eBay, but I must have an American address, and the shipping service increases the price of the product, so my best option is Ali Express.
Great video. Subbed, keep working brotha, youll grow fast
I ordered a 3000 model earlier today, when I was younger I bought a 1000 model from my cousin, the UMD drive worked to some extent before it gave out on me, that's when I went with CFW, it worked for sometime and then didn't work anymore for me so not sure what happened to it, so today I figured it's time to get that handheld again cause I really miss those days of playing Medal Of Honor and Socom Navy Seals along with Hot shots golf and many other titles, I'm gonna go to a guy on Main street here to get a new battery just in case, I still have the original charger and accessories from the other PSP I has so look forward to seeing this thing arrive,I prefer to buy on AliExpress cause it's way cheaper than spending around $100 on Ebay, my first PSP I payed $60 for, the one I got today was $70, could you do a video on a PSVITA from Ali Express?
Good times, Vita video is in the works, just waiting for things to arrive : )
It will be an AliExpress vs Ebay version
Love the white PSP
This is amazing
Do you think it’s worth ?
FYI, Netac is a known brand in SA, and as far as SD cards, and SSD's go, I'll much rather buy Netac than Sandisk. They just last so much longer.
Sick, thanks for letting us know
great video man, thinking about buying a pspvita on aliexpress, do you think i should be ok?
Thanks : )
I found the Vitas on AliExpress to be a bit too pricy, I would recommend getting Japanese units from eBay instead.
There seems to be a handful of people who have asked for a Vita AliExpress video so, I may just do that
Instead of the referb batteries, I wonder if the batteries might just be dead. In the test you ran, the cells might be old. Although, the Miss labeling is disconcerting
They work, and i have an intense battery testing video i have been working on looking to answer all the questions.
The psp was the Mobile console that dared challenge the Nintendo ds and it almost won too. One of my favorite consoles.
It would have kicked the ds's ass if the psp go could use sd cards. It would have been the perfect on the go multimedia device you could also play games on.
@@Romar-io that's true you could not only play games on it but you can watch full on movies with it I remember have a stack of UMD movies when I had my first psp. The Playstation portable was a power house.
6:26 ooopps. A rager, I see. ;P
i want all the retro games into the psp?
like snes,nintendo.sega, dream cast, so on? but i dont know how to set this up?
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.
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.
Btw I recently released the Vita version of this video if you are interested: th-cam.com/video/HDjFjl59P8Y/w-d-xo.html
Been searching. How did you find these beauties?
AliExpress is weird sometimes and doesnt show proper search results or doesnt ship to your area, I have links in the description.
Seems that foam boxes are slightly big for PSP and they put 2 charging cables on sides, to keep the unit in place. )))
LOL
They are worth but you have to change the battery
awesome video. Can you do the same for nintendo ds ?
I'll consider it for a future video
Just a question, did u test the true capacity of the memory cards? I think they charge more for "extra" space but they are actually just spoffing and chinise sellers do most of the times, that would be a great point to add.
True, it wouls have been a nice addition indeed.
If these were fake the sellers would be in trouble, 16gb/32gb are basic capacities, it wouldnt make sense for them to do it.
It would also cause major errors loading saves, but I have not encountered any issues (other than that one faulty copy of ATV), I have copied games in and out while the card nearing full capacity without problems.
@@TotalKommandothe problem with those spoffed cards is that they will work as "legit" until they dont :/ Whille I was seeing the video I was checking and the fact that they are upselling space makes me question if it's really worth the price incress or just buy a micro sd from a store sience they dont really cost that much anyway... but them being pre-loader helps a bit on that sience I'm not really in the mod to just dump my roms or even looking to buy new or even download that massive library xD
@@stonybaboon Yea I always recommend buying a cheap brand name from amazon for like $5-10 for 32gb - 64gb, I still dont trust them in case they fail and lose my save files.
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
How I see it personally, since I'm refurbishing them my self is this:
I buy from ebay with around the same prices usually with more problems and missing analog, battery, sd, adapter, etc
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.
@@TotalKommando where are you getting shells from? all i saw is crappy cheap plastic thats not worth buying
@@aluplaya6544 AliExpress, Im working towards a shell swap video for each model talking about whats good and whats not. They all have problems of varing degrees
10 years ago I thought mobile gaming will take over handheld market after ps vita failed so bad. Once, mobile gaming became p2w trash yard and ns switch succeeded, I realized that sony missed the chance. A company that made revolutionary handheld that still holds better game library than ns switch. However, this time the device should be at lease ps1, ps2, psp back compatible to compete, I wish they could have done it earlier, bcz now the competition is much harder from chinese manufacaturers.
It still amazes me how much power was packed into a handheld this small.. 20 years ago
To be fair, Vita is compatible with PS1 and PSP.
I'm looking into those videos but realistically, I won't buy a handheld. My phone is doing perfect PSP/DS emulation (especially with gamepad accessory)
It hits different with original hardware, id rather carry a dedicated pocketable slim device than a gamegrip but thats just me. I used to carry my psp at all timea, and soon I will be doing the same in 2024 once my build is complete.
I would love for a new slim pocketable tv capable handheld from sony, i just hopr they dont follow the pc handheld trend. Its way too big for me personally.
@@TotalKommando sure, nostalgia is playing key role here, i never had any console, only phone/PC. I am thinking to get a Java phone but I'm already having too much devices to play on😸
If I remember correctly, there were leaks recently showing that Sony is working on a new handheld that isn't the new PS5 streaming only thing they made. So cross those fingers and hope they deliver something magical.

I bought a white psp 1000 and I’m sure the buttons and dpad were clear. Maybe not though, was a long time ago.
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?
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
@@TotalKommando nice one. Will try tomorrow. Thanks
@@TotalKommando this worked btw. Thanks very much. I assume you can’t do the same and put a copied card into another random psp console?
@@ByronUK You can totally do that, thats what I did for a while on some cheap 16gb for my adhoc party psps

Can u drop ur other channels in the description next time? Or on ur channel page?

@@theshadowman1398any legitimate websites you can recommend?

Would love to see this for the Ps Vita
Im not sure they exist on Ali express though
Prior to this video they were very hard to find, several people have asked for it.
Now they are slightly easier to find, stuff is on the way, so expect an epic Ebay vs AliExpress Vita video : )
with that price i suggest buy 2nd ps vita xD
psp under 40$ is a good deal, higher, it's not, buy oem retro handheld is much better, rgb300 etc
So flood the market, unlimited games Pinellas park Florida ,PSP 1000 around $150. , Jailbreak ?
what model of psp is the best to get and why? ty for the video
I will do a deep comparison in the future, each psp has different problems with the screen.
1000 is the worst but also the best, because you can buy an upgrade IPS screen only for the 1000, if you dont upgrade it, it would be the worse screen.
I bought one from a dealer you linked and this may be a dumb question but can you change the emulators to English?
You could, but you also need to translate and rename those game file names from Chinese to english, probbaly easier to just start from scratch
In 10:20, that sound, i have exacly the same sound on my psp and i dont know what is this (probably something with CD) and how to fix it?
I plan to explore this topic in a future video
:000 okay im w8@@TotalKommando
Do they have ps vitas on aliexpress?
Did you request a specific color or is it luck of the draw?
The only one I selected a color for was the 2000 mint green, it was one of the clickable options. The rest are random and usually mostly black.
... I'd love to see this done with the Vita.
Do they sell those on AliExpress?
Yea, they are a bit overpriced but come with storage and preloaded with cfw. Ebay japan is generally much cheaper.

Hi does anyone have a link to buy a psvita from aliexpress?
i wonder if my psp will ever show up somewhere in my house, lost it during a move... still got a psvita nowadays tho!

Yea I have noticed but damn are they expensive
i ordered a psp go from aliexpress last year. the wireless did not work and i could not play local adhoc games with others. other than that it was fine.
@TK; Hi TK . I got a psp on a flea market with a wallplug ( battery doesn't work) and I found that I cant load games on to it or connect to the internet (psn) and it has a broken diskplayer. I knew the disc didn't work when bought for pennies but not that it cant update or load anything on it. How can I fix that I can log in or load stuff on the PSP? Thanks for the vids! I have no tech skills so a mod would not be possible for me and I have a handicap...
It sounds like a pretty easy fix:
- Order a new battery
- If you have a 4gb or 8gb memory card its works otherwise buy a psp sd card adapter and a cheap 32gb micro sd card
- 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 : )
@@TotalKommando Well thats the thing, it doesnt matter wich card I put in... Thanks for the help!
@@richardheumann1887 Ahh ok so the card isnt being read? perhaps open it up and take a look at the contacts, they might be corroded, watch my detailed disassembly video, and part of the cleaning process in the shell swap video. If you can see clear corosion then spray some contact cleaner and scrape each memory card reader contact point. you may need to spray the board connection point that pairs the main mobo with the memcard/wifi/audio jack mobo
@@richardheumann1887 If you dont want to open it, you can spray contact cleaner inside and insert and disconnect the card to try and losen up the possible debris, if that doesnt do the job open it up.
@@TotalKommando Thank you very much!

I disconnected then reconnected quickly to check that the perm cfw is installed.
is there anyway to get ps vitas cheap too? all i find are on the $200
AliExpress Vitas are overpriced, in some places local listings are also as expensive.

Bro i have a Nintendo switch with a nitro deck on it but im thinking about getting one
I thought these were new PSPs. I was thinking it was cool if China saved all the manufacturing schematics and were making brand new ones. It would be so great if they did that and even got Chinese developers to make new games for them too.
If the UMD Drive doesn't work, its just disconnected flex cable.
In the video I put the psp close to the mic, you can hear it clicking like its jammed and in need of cleaning
@@TotalKommando There are 2 or Three Flex cable for the UMD Drive, if one is not connected or badly connected, the drive head doesn't move, just the motor turn, its a common omit when the console is disassembled, i myself missed that when i fixed my 3000.
Really interesting to see what state the psps are on Ali express - my aya Neo 2021 handheld pc is pretty much my: pc,psp, ps2, Dreamcast, GameCube,Wii, ds, snes, nes, gba,n64: ps3
I still have mine 2000 original one, but the problem is the right stick doesn't work, i already change tbe cable but is the same problem
Does it drift or not work at all?
Do you still have the jelly that bridges the contacts?
And is it using an original shell or a third party shell?
@@TotalKommando Tha right button doesnt work at all, i already change the cable that goes all way up but nothing changes, is the original shell, i think all the psp is original only that cable and it had custom firware to install games
could be a damaged ribbon port, you first said stick, so i thought analog, now its a button, so is it the right dpad or square button?
There is a plugin out there that lets you remap buttons with combos, you can give it a try if you wanna get some use in the mean time.
@@TotalKommando sorry for the miss understanding, it was the top right square button, the problem is most the games use all the buttons so is hard to play most of them
I changed the cable and I didn't think about the port, just changed the cable it self
@@filipepereira9155 Take a closer look, hopefully its some corroded contacts that can be cleaned with some contact cleaner

so the battery drain for PSP when not in use is a normal?
It's normal especially if your battery is old or is cheap / fake.
I just got one I’ll let know how I like it
I got it and I love it
so do these have oem psp motherboards in them?
Yes they are original motherboards, 3/4 of the ones I got were Japanese units that were fixed up with a new faceplate or battery door, etc
Fake PSP motherboards never existed
Can I add roms to the sd card it came with?
Yes
nice content , well thought out explanation ..... might wanna touch on how aliexpress is much more loaded with scammers than ebay and offers absolutely not protection if you do get ripped off
Thank and you are right, I plan to have a buying guide for eBay vs AliExpress, since I have been a heavy user for many years now and have been through a lot of different scenarios from each one.
Are those hack games ?.
Can someone please tell my why 3600 isn’t possible in a battery of that size? 3600 is a lot but it’s totally feasible in that form factor.
It's physically not possible, there is no battery that is 3600mAh @ 3.6v that can fit in the phat psp battery shell
Go find a legit one then
