killamch89 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Over the years, I’ve seen and tried various hardware mods on my PSP 1000 and PSP 2000 models. I installed a larger third-party battery to extend playtime and swapped in a backlit screen from a PSP 3000 to improve visibility. I even soldered on a custom charging port for universal compatibility. Friends have done LED backlight upgrades, replaced UMD drives with custom firmware, and created custom faceplates with built-in analog nub covers. What’s the most ambitious or surprising hardware modification you’ve seen or attempted on a PSP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I've seen modifications like custom firmware, screen replacements, and battery upgrades on the PSP. I've tried installing custom firmware myself, which allows for emulators and homebrew. These modifications enhance performance, battery life, and overall versatility of the device.
