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
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)
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.
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
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 😅
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
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.)
Anime Title: “I purchased a retro console while traveling abroad with the intent to mod it but the instructions were unclear and now it’s become a painful process.”
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!
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.
First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the quality of the video and make it clear that I am passionate about mods, upgrades and restorations. But in this case I believe it would be more interesting to purchase the version of the PSP 3000 that allows connection to the television via an AVI cable. Or if the need is to use HDMI, perhaps a PS Vita TV would be even more interesting. Making it possible to play the extensive catalog of PSOne, PSP, PSVita and other emulators.
.... 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!
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😅
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.
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
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?😂
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!
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.
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 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.
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
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
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.
The infrared sensor really was never used. Some homebrew applications took advantage of it like IRShell, but they were really only for turning the PSP into TV remotes.
The tv remote homebrew was neat but I also remember another program that allowed to transfer files via IR. It was very dodgy and you had to line up the 2 sensors and it would take forever to transfer a simple picture.
I think that this was the first console I opened in my life. I didnt even know what a ribbon cable was. I was amazed by how many screws this thing had and thought that It is an awesome work of engineering
Actually i did use the IR a lot with a software emulating tv ir controllers. It basically learned the buttons imput and asigned a buttom combination for each action and there you go, you had a psp universal IR control for any device that use IR of course.
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.
Looks like the board had two chips, likely one translating the video and the other an HDMI scaler. It's a real shame too, because they are likely buffering frames before sending them to the scaler for processing. The only real use I could see with this is to make it easier to capture output for recording video or streaming, but most peeps in that boat are using other methods (component video, emulation, etc.) already...I'd love to see Woozle take a shot at this: His GBA consolizer is fantastic, and he could probably pull off a no cut mod too...
...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...
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!
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.
Thank you for doing this so that I know not to.
hahahahahah

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 😂
Best option is to use component cables. The second generation supports it natively.

Good ole fashion IRshell.

@@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
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 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.

This is the best video so far, i know the PSP is HORRIBLE to disassembly but it's a good mod to try out, it could be cool to see more PSP mods
Thank you!
Only the 1000 series is hard, the 2000 and 3000 series have less screws so they are easier to take apart and put back together.

With the slim you could just buy a cable from Sony.
YESS!🎉🎉 Now I don't have to show off this mod! 🎉🎉
bruh great job at mangeling the console.
Im going to assume Ifixit would be your friend here.
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
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?😂
I had this PSP kit, but I sold the PSP to my cousin… 12 years later, I still regret it
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 😂
Lmao. This is what happens when you try to mod something other than a gameboy. Love the video!
The HD screen for psp 1000 looks like a good upgrade. Video is great
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!
that looks more like micro hdmi (yes there are 3 sizes)
Very cool mod and funny video!
Good old times using my PSP as a remote to mess with the tv's at school
You should do the IPS mod for PSP next.

Dude I hope you didn't loose your Screws doing this Modd. 😂👍💯
I can see this being pretty good for screen capturing. For live gameplay... not so much.
Better idea: get a 2000 or 3000 model. Both support component video out and physical games.
IR blaster was always used for TV and the other stuff but you need to have something called IR shell
The only time I ever used the infrared on the PSP was to mess with the tv in the classroom.
Really cool mod. There needs to be a kit for this that retains the UMD. Pixel FX make one.
Awesome video as always 😊
Afaik, the IR sensor was not used by any game on the PSP hahaha but we had IRShell that used to work as a universal remote conttoller
At least you get pictures. I guts swapped a psp 2000 and 3000 one time with nothing.

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
Oh, I used the IR port all the time to disable loud TVs public. Usually just mute them but other times change the channel.
Someone has had to make a better way to make this happen...
I loved the video ❤ #muchlove
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.
there will come a day where something like this will be far easier to install.
