- The long awaited mod for all the family. Everyone I know has wanted a PSP HDMI mod. Even the lady who served me at the super market back in 2012. I think I only bought a Freddo but she was telling me just how badly she wants this mod.
Buy this mod (if u want)

Thank you for doing this so that I know not to.
hahahahahah
I was kinda worried for a bit you were gonna also coincidentally put a video up with this HDMI mod and it'd basically be you probably complaining about how you completely borked your PSP because of all the instructions Elliot said were missing or something. XD
Come on Wulf we all know you're gonna do it anyway
Now you absolutely have to.
Don't be a baby wulff do it 😂
Probably would be awesome if it was for the PSP Go. It has bluetooth and works with ps3 controllers wirelessly
DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT WHY DID I HAVE TO SEE THIS VIDEO!!!??!!!
This is an outstanding ad for emulation! lol
Especially since it removes the UMD drive - if it's going to play ROMs anyway, I'd rather just emulate on something that can output to the TV already.
If that disc drive works I’d love to have it
Best option is to use component cables. The second generation supports it natively.
I was looking for this comment
I was like you can just get cables. I use a set of original hd cables that work on my new tv. I do it mainly to play some of the umd movies for a bit of nostalgia
There was also a plugin for modded PSPs that would use the USB to output video to a computer; i don't remember what it was called and there were limitations to it (no audio, and it needed to be connected to a computer)
@@bald1z I think that is made for PSVita not PSP
@@bald1zyeah RemoteJoyLite. Absolutely incredible piece of software
i used the IR sensor plenty back in the day. i used to go to stores and turn off their TVs. no one suspected it was me. good times!
Good ole fashion IRshell.
@@supersexyass bingoooo
You like to do a little bit of trolling, don't you?
@@supersexyass omg you unlocked a core memory!
can you tell me how I would love to do this to my boyfriend
If it didn't remove the disk drive, I'd say this is a great mod. That said, you have a good point about systems whose drive is broken or won't read disks...in that case hey you're not losing anything.
Yeah that was my thoughts. If you have a faulty PSP this could be a cheap bit of fun and be useful for some games!
Also, if you remove the UMD drive, it is possible to fit in a much larger/higher capacity battery into the PSP (I've at least seen in be done with 2000/3000 models). I've heard you can fit up to a 5000mAh battery in a PSP and that will give you way more battery life than any regular PSP battery. The PSP also uses more battery when using the UMD drive compared to running games off external storage.
So if you do have a broken UMD drive or you don't mind sacrificing the UMD drive, a battery mod might be more worth it.
@@bigbangbot-SuperSqank I did that on my PSP-2000 but you also need the little board that's inside a PSP battery. I used a really cheap aftermarket battery and unfortunately the charging board in there is total crap. It doesn't really check the voltage and works more on a timer. It goes from 100% to 10% in 1 and a half hour and then it blinks for another half hour. At 0% it still goes but the PSP goes into sleep mode every minute. You really need the board from a real Sony battery to do this mod properly.
@TheRetroFuture now that you mentioned this I may have a go at this later cuz my new screen came with a dead pixel and a half so may operate again later. But main thing & idk if something happened when I replaced the screen but basically umd drive faulty but not game breaking. Luckily it's modded
The PSP deserves more love
Should’ve done a IPS MOD while you were already in it and had it apart, but still a entertaining video as always. Loving the whole comedic thing you’ve been doing with videos lately 😅
Component cables are a thing for PSP 2000 and 3000.
Edit: As the video goes on, it becomes more of a disaster and really justifies the cost of the component cable, even if the resolution isnt the greatest and it doesnt fill the screen.
With an upscaler it does! Looks great as well.
Was about to mention that
So glad I bought that cable when it was still cheap and available second hand at a local GameStop.
I hate that I missed out on official cables for my PS2/PS3. Third party cables are trash.
@@rashira9610 I have a component cable for ps2/3. I got it at a goodwill in Colorado like 4 years ago for $3.99.
Composite cables too. Can’t play PSP games over them, but it’s the easiest way to get 240p output for PS1 game for a CRT or upscaler
Please don't get rid of the original battery - I'm sure you already know, but all/most PSP replacement batteries have inferior control circuits to the original that crash in strange ways when USB charging is on. The replacement control PCB then needs resetting by shorting a couple of pins. Solution: disassemble the original Sony battery, salvage the control circuit and replace the lithium cell.
Thank you! I just today found out the battery in my old PSP turned into a cursed pillow, kicking the battery door out
Alternative solution: don't use USB charging...?
LOL this was me fixing my phone. I replaced the screen but broke the headphone jack, the camera ribbon cable, and the fingerprint sensor ribbon cable. At least I know how to open it back up now!

I got the value pack for Christmas in 2005, bringing it to school was such a flex, most people were still using GBAs. Seeing the packaging brings back so many memories, including Mims "this is why I'm hot" which was the first song I downloaded onto it because it was popular at the time
Should have just gone with a PSPi v6 and used a CM4. Don't get me wrong though I may order this to cause it looks like fun 😂
Microsoft wii 💀
Has anyone in the last 10+ years used physical UMDs anyway? I mean I love the PSP and do not even consider it an option
I love this. You're so good at making engaging content.
Watching this ultimately successful disaster was a total ride. Like an anti-Macho-Nacho modding video (whose content I likewise love.)
Elliot became the anti Tito.
@@MrLind87 An AnTito if you will.
@@Nexxxeh kinda like a small anti
YESS!🎉🎉 Now I don't have to show off this mod! 🎉🎉
Ngl psp was amazing i had one and very easy to mod also there was a cool feature to be able to play it on the tv without this mod but its a much bigger pain
With the slim you could just buy a cable from Sony.
I really loved this video. I don’t know why but I just found the still photos of you reacting to what was happening so funny.
.... as someone that has fond memories of their psp ... this mod made me cry. T.T btw the psp has probibly the best arcade port of initial d (called street stage). I suggest checking it out if you can get your hands on it its a serious Gem!
I oddly relate to trying to open stuff/small gaps up with guitar pick. It's a force of habit when you play guitar and bass for so long haha
you uploading this just reminded me that i have a really dirty star wars battlefront (i think) edition psp
You should do the IPS mod for PSP next.
Hey, but you can stream the screen from psp using a plugin, or share the screen on pc with Remote Joy Lite thingy using just the usb and all that for free
This was painful to watch
...but the PSP-1000 natively supports HDMI, you just need the right cable, which you can get for less than $10...
Granted they removed that port on the PAP2000 and PSP-3000 models, but you opened the video saying that's a PSP-1000... So you didn't need this mod...
You know I have a broken PSP 1000 that just needs a screen. The UMD drive is broken too. I should do this to it. Otherwise it's garbage.
Anything with input lag is a straight turn off for me. I just cannot fathom any kind of delay when I'm trying to play a game, no matter how small. But I can see how this might be beneficial for people who want to stream/capture PSP gameplay while still playing the game off the internal display. - It's a shame about the UMD drive though.
No UMD is a dealbreaker for me. I asked, in 2020, for help getting my PSP disc drive repaired (turned out it and my Power Stone game disc each just needed cleaning) and others told me to “just get rid of the disc drive” without a thought for the fact that others may not want to play games the same way as them! I normally don’t like to mod systems, I’d rather keep them (as) authentic (as possible), but I would like to be able to play certain games with certain modifications made, some of which I’d like to see but don’t exist yet. I would get a hack for Crazy Taxi Fare Wars that reinstates the Offspring music but I’m sure there’s an MP3 editing program out there that lets me paste in the MP3s of the songs and trim them to the length they are heard for in the original game! More importantly, there really needs to be a patch for ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin’ Trails that censors and replaces the Lostprophets logos seen on certain courses. You don’t want to know why. Have a good one!
Goddamn dude lol dope and funny vid but sheesh. If only it was a simple as the thing you was trying to put in the UMD at the start😭. I'd love something like this but i just recently modded my 3ds and psp and also replaced the psp 3k screen and man even those were tedious tasks😭. Well lol the psp modding was a breeze and is amazing😅
If this could be improved to where one does NOT have to sacrifice being able to play UMD media, that would be ideal.
Sony made a Composite and Component cable that would plug in to the PSP-2000. No modding needed. it works very well. Not the same as HDMI, but my video projector can take a component input. So game on!
would have been a nice option of adding video out to a first generation PSP but that installation process plus losing the umd makes it a hard sell
Yeah this doesn't seem worth it at all to me. The lack of physical discs isn't as much of a problem for me, it's just everything else about it for not that great a result from what I'm seeing.
Especially when you could just get a 2000 or 3000 series PSP and natively output video through component cables
And close up the Microsoft Wii 😂
I remember my old PSP 2000, I could open and close it for almost blindly, sure I lost half of the screws and the UMD drive made weird noises due to the lack of some of them but still worked, I ended up flipping it for an electric guitar which I never learned how to play correctly and ended up flipping it again for a freaking XBOX 360 later on, I had great dealing skills back then.
Lol. I have psp E1004 with USB type c mod i done myself. Psp moding is the whole other level.
Great video I’m sorry you had to go through all the pain of putting this together 😭😭😭
But does it crop the Home Menu like the Component Cables?
Im going to assume Ifixit would be your friend here.
Loved this video! I wish I still had my box and lanyard. Your videos get me through some tough days. As always, thanks Elliott 🙏
Watching this video now from seeing the other vid on your second channel. Nothing wrong with this one!
that looks more like micro hdmi (yes there are 3 sizes)
Woah! that was waaaay more difficult than any of us probably expected. neat result, especially if you have a rooted or hacked psp or no drive but wow, dont think id have the patience for this one. loved the comedic timing as always! love the mod videos and the sarcasm. well done Elliot!
Better idea: get a 2000 or 3000 model. Both support component video out and physical games.
did you change this video's title or am i tripping 😂
regrettably i did. i rushed it out and didn’t think about it properly.
bruh great job at mangeling the console.
Microsoft Wii got me lol. Great video, was fun to come along on this journey with you!
Gotta love the good ol Microsoft Wii!
3:06 thats fine. And no you dont need to be a software engineer, just need a HEN and/or custom firmware and BOOM you can load iso game files off the memory stick
Edit: unfortunately youll lose the ability to make backups via your cfw menu tho :(
Double edit: 4:27 oof, there goes making your PSP a TV remote or whatever else IR did... ope
Hello
I watched your 2nd channel vid before this. Youve gone from Ahens to Guru Larry 😂. Not a bad thing! But the lofi feel you had might be drowned in the corn. Fake emotion can leave a bad taste. But youre experimenting trying to make better content for me, so have at it!
Didn't Tito mention he was going to do this?
I remember you could get a component cable for the psp. You could use that to play/record on a tv while using a unmodded console with real games. I doubt it would look any different quality wise.
JUST GET A PSTV!! 🤣
this is why i have a 3000 model. Built in video out to composite and much better screen (though there are drop in ips screens that are better than both). and there are external upscalers and hdmi converters so you can have video out in HD and your umd drive! I love my little disks and you cant take them away from me!
Love your videos though! and welcome to the wonderful world of the psp! its an amazing portable that just didnt get the support from sony that it deserved
A few quick notes though: you can change the language on the psp through the settings. I had a nifty blue japanese exclusive model (that my brother nicked from me) that i did this to. And as far as i remember the psp is region free (except for like the movies or somthing). Also custom firmware is trivially easy to get running on any model of the psp, so you'll be able to run backups of your game iso's fairly easily, and there are quite a few japanese exclusive games that have fan translations made.
Keep up the good work!
7:57 its not an SD Card slot, thats a memory stick pro duo slot
Although you can get a MSPD to SD card converter...
can you connect a wireless pad?
I've been planning to do this. I just didn't want to probe all the contacts for hours.
И играть в шакальном разрешении
What a great community even wulfden is in on it 👍🏾
Hyperkin makes an HDMI cable for the 2000/3000. It's an option.
I play all my games from a MicroSD card so removing the UMD drive wouldn't bother me (and I keep spools of silicon insulated wire for high accuracy stuff like this), but you called it: the latency is a deal breaker.
Hopefully in the future something better will be available that can also coexist with a LiPo battery mod, but in the meantime I'm just enjoying my PSP as a portable retro gaming machine.
First, that was terrible to watch my guy.
Secondly, I would never mutilate an OG PSP that is in that good of condition just to add an HDMI port just to please some kids who don't understand that keeping things stock is better than trying to mod something, failing, and ultimately ruining the nostalgic experience from years past.
But, hey, you do you. Just glad that the thing worked... hopefully it still does.
Also, good video.
You will need a pandora battery and one of the many custom firmwares (neuron 6.61 is my favorite), install LEDA and Prometeus, after that you not only will be able to play psp games from the card (without umd ) but youll be able to play PS1, SNES and GBA games if you put, popsloader, gba and snes emulators, up to 32 gb pro-duo card will become recognizable by the system. My beloved PSP died a couple of years ago after years and years of giving me my best handheld console experience.
I can see this being pretty good for screen capturing. For live gameplay... not so much.
Followed your guide and now my Gameboy gets the Playboy channel! Thanks Macho Toast!
Difficult installation, ruining a PSP for to play a handheld on the TV with quite decent lag. No thx :) Instead of that, I will rather use my PSP 3000 with the component adapter cable or my PSP Go with the dock, while I could (not ideal at all, with this lousy resolution) play on the TV, coupled with a PS3 controller. Better idea and save some money, your mental state (and a poor PSP): Playing on the go with a modded PS Vita and do the same with a modded PSTV on the big screen. But thanks anyways for the entertaining video :)
This is probably a dumb question, but, how on earth do you remember where everything went (IE, cables, switches, buttons, etc) when it's time to put everything back. Do you take photos during the tear down? I go target shooting from time to time and am terrified every time I have to clean a firearm (I mean the disassembly and reassembly).
0:21 That might seem like stupid question, but did you try putting it in refrigerator? Sometimes battery doesn't work because controller board inside the battery glitches. To fix that you need to reset it by cutting off its power. Reducing the temperature of a lithium ion battery below zero celcius for a long time can do exactly that
Ps: sorry for my English, it's not my first language
Hey I have a feelworld touchscreen monitor too that I picked up recently. Not the same model you have but a dh101. One of the only monitors in that size that has two full function USB c ports+mini HDMI.
Instead of the
1 full function USB c
1 power only USB c
1 mini hdmi
This would be a good time to do the other mods as well. 1,000 nit screen is about $35. US. Maybe a USB C mod as well.
I'm thinking this for some good screen capture footage.
I kinda feel like using a male micro to female full HDMI adapter would almost be preferable to a cable that has male micro and male full on the ends; with the male-micro to female-full cable, you can use any HDMI cable to connect it to your TV, whereas if you get the micro-to-full male-to-male cable, the length of that cable is all you've got - so if you find yourself with a need to position the PSP further from the TV, you can do it easily with the male-to-female adapter by using a longer cable - which can be repurposed for something else as and when necessary - whereas the male-to-male cable will only really ever be useful for your PSP, and the handful of fondleslabs with micro-HDMI out.
Well, the Optical Drive would be useless to me anyway because one day the laser is gonna die.
0:39 Oh, I beg to differ sir. A lot of us actually appreciate one of the best handhelds ever made. I'm especially fond of the 1000 model for it's sturdy built quality. They don't make em like this anymore.
Honestly, at this point I'd just buy a PlayStation TV, then play PSP games using Adrenaline and a PS3 controller. The overall experience would be so much better, with nicer graphics, no lag, 2 analog sticks and the ability to play PS Vita games too
Impressive how adding a simple HDMI out is more destructive than turning the whole PSP into a Raspberry pi computer with the PSPi mod. That mod is 100% reversible and a way better mod for an old PSP.
I had this PSP kit, but I sold the PSP to my cousin… 12 years later, I still regret it
I remember taking apart my old PSP 3000. Let's just say it didn't survive haha. Was way more complicated than I expected. Nowadays I'm better at this kind of thing tho.
psp 2000 and above have tv support. use component to hdmi converter. also get a 3000+ for controller support dummies. psp1000 is way too heavy and its dpad buttons never hit diagonals well. get good. good grief.
Hard to install, unreversable, can't play UMD, input lag... What a waste of product 😅.
PSP have a lot of potential when it goes to modding.
My we can't have a consolizer project that make the PSP a tiny console, with still the UMD and a PS2 contrôler port to play it ?
Or a brand new Dock for the PSP Go with HDMI out, that is something I dream about it.
I still have my psp from 2009 I believe and it works fine although volume doesn't work and it has a loud fan noise when it's on. I still have videogames and the same psp case and I'm surprised I still have it after all these years 🤣
BEST option for PSP on TV is to use Playstation TV with Adrenaline. ;-) And yes, you can play PS Vita games or other emulators on big TV with PS4 controller...
Mistake number one buying from the black market.
Mistake number two adding hdmi support to a console that already supports digital output.
Sony did release a very short lived hdmi cable for the psp but that was only available for a few months before the console was discontinued. A Chinese company took over production but thanks to it being a Chinese company quality is mixed.
man this was painful lol poor PSP, thankfully it´s not hard to put CFW on the PSP but god it sucks that you can´t play physical games on it anymore
So with the music playing everywhere... you trying to be retro renew aka tito or something 😂
Not sure if you've heard this before, but you sound similar to The Spiffing Brit. Interesting! Also, I love your content! The restoration videos are so satisfying.
It really feels pointless if it removes the UMD drive. The only reason I want any kind of output on my PSP is to play UMD games on a bigger screen. I can just use my PSTV for the downloadable ones.
The most useless mod. you already have tv out with this sop why bother? now a DS TV output mod akka a way to play ds/3ds/new3ds cartridges on a tv,. thats worth ir. this is just wasted money and time.
If I had a clean 1000 model like that I would've gone the PSPi route instead, lol.
Is this really necessary, considering you have to remove the disc drive and you can just buy a psp output adapter with hdmi?
i wonder! what if there was a usb mod not usb c or any other mod just a mod that alows u to use a webcam on the psp mouse keyboard or controller etc i mostly think of this cuz the psp has a screen i mostly dont care about the mouse or keyboard or controlller basicly i saw u can hookup a webcam to a psp but ? what if there was a mod that allows u to connect a elgato webcam on the psp for example ! i would love that type of mod so 1 usb port that u can connect any type of usb on it wich is normaly in a pc
so usb sticks mod that allows that type of stuf
Nah, not for me considering my original psp 1000 still works just fine. It’s not in as nice of condition as the one you bought and butchered for a bad mod. I’ll stick to my vita tv if I wanna play psp games on my tv.
That is a terrible mod so much destruction to add a not good hdmi solution the component cable for psp's put out a relatively good video and isn't that expensive. Even if your laser is dead I wouldn't recommend this mod just because I know what a pain in the ars it is to take any model psp apart and try to reassemble. And 3rd part shells are horribly cheaply made sacrificing a factory shell made me want to cry.
Back in my teenager days I use to watch this guy because how calm his videos is and now I came back it’s like he switch personality. Wth happen to him?😂
Upgrade that PSP needs is possibility to stream from PC. Nobody did it but it would actually make PSP better console than many modern "retro games and streaming" handhelds
No offense, but why didn't you look up a disassembly guide? At least the video left the impression that you didn't. I know that 1000's are rather annoying to work with because of all the screws, I had to work with one in comically bad condition, and it was pretty annoying.
Love your content Elliot, but please don't start doing the shit piano jazz soundtrack all the time. I can't watch Nacho Matcho vids becasue he uses the same crap music on every vid! Thanks 🙂
