I’m getting crucified by the aspect ratio police on my previous post lol, I will still go for 16:9 which one do ya’ll prefer?

I was disassembling my psp 3000 to do a case swap watching a tutorial but my psp seems to be a little different to the PSP's tutorial. Why is that?

Monster Hunter version I’m considering buying. Anything I should look for or ask to see beforehand?

Long story short, i have a 1000 and 2000 already but am purchasing a go this week. Because of form factor, Any games i should avoid putting on it?

Hello Guys!

Hey everyone! 👋

I (and Claude 😁) have been building a launcher for my PSP and I'm excited to finally share it.

Glad to present you NovaOS!

Real screenshots available on GitHub repo 😎!

Want the details? Everything below is for anyone who wants to learn more. 👇

✨ The idea

• Calm and simple. True black background, three tones of grey, and no borders, glows or clutter.
• Focus is a step in lightness. The game you're on is lit, and its neighbours dim.
• One accent colour. Blue by default. Pick another: teal, green, amber, coral or pink.
• Your wallpaper. Black by default, with built-in backgrounds or your own photo (always dimmed so text stays readable).

🎮 What's inside

📦 Install in 3 steps

Github Release

1. Download the zip for your firmware: -ark4 for ARK-4, -ark5 for ARK-5.
2. Unzip it onto the root of your Memory Stick. You get PSP/GAME/NovaOS/EBOOT.PBP.
3. Start NovaOS from the Game menu.

🚀 Make it your default launcher (optional)

Want NovaOS to start instead of the XMB every time you boot? The README has the step-by-step guide, including how to back up ARK's own menu first.

Getting back to the XMB is always one step away:

• Exit to XMB in the Control Center
• Hold SELECT while the PSP starts to skip NovaOS

🔒 Safety and honesty

• NovaOS only writes to your Memory Stick, never to flash0 or flash1.
• It's free to use and share unmodified.
• It's closed source for now. I'd rather be upfront about that.
• The ARK-5 build doesn't load on ARK-4, so pick the zip that matches your firmware.

❓ Quick FAQ

Does it work on my PSP model? I've tested it on a PSP-3004 on ARK-4. Other models are untested, so please tell me how it goes.

Can I go back to the XMB? Yes, any time. See the steps above.

Will it break my games? NovaOS doesn't modify your games. It reads your library and launches them.

Where do I report bugs? Here in the comments, or in the issues tab of the releases repo.

Thanks for reading! I'd love to hear what you think, what you'd change, and anything that breaks. Happy gaming! 🎮

What would I be losing performance wise and visual customization wise if I get monster hunter 3000 over normal 3000? Thank you.

I know nothing about any of this stuff, but I’m trying to convert this ps2 bios of San Andreas to PSP like everyone else has been but it stops at 65% every time and I don’t understand what any of this means. Can anyone tell me me what time doing wrong or link me to a slow step by step video on how everyone is doing this?

I got this psp go a few years ago second hand with a broken screen. I got around to putting a new screen in it and tried updating it to 6.60 firmware as I’m stuck on 5.70. I get this error message which may indicate it had a CFW on it at some point? I see a common answer for this is IDstorage but not sure how to run homebrew applications if I’m not on CFW?

DRNFFFFFFFCE missing 0x5 keys?

Any help would be great before I give up 😅

Hello! Can you recommend a good car game with great graphics? Thanks!

I ported Sonic R to the PSP, built on jnmartin84's Sonic R decompilation.

• 60 fps (the game logic stays at 30 Hz like on PC; the PSP draws an extra interpolated frame)
• Widescreen in single-player races, or 4:3
• Longer draw distance than the PC version
• CD music in ATRAC3, fast loading
• Made to fit the PSP-1000's 32 MB too (checked by simulating its memory; if you have a 1000, please tell me how it runs!)
• Also runs on PPSSPP

You need your own copy of the Sonic R PC CD (1998): the repo has scripts that turn it into the folder the PSP reads. The release only has the EBOOT, no game data. Needs a PSP with CFW.

So I brought this psp and they had a dearth Vader version tbh I like this color I love the white color

Now that I got the oot port to work I tried sum other ports from the mega list of ports and now its the undertale one that just wont start on ark5 even tho it did on ark4 is it just not compatible or am I js challenged

It looks and feel better than new, cleaned everything and assembled it, the screen is gorgeous damn. I need advices about making the joystick as smooth as possible tho, also any plugin to enhance the experience would be good too. I still have to fix the battery clip and decide if i can finally be brave enough to trim the shell to make the Big battery mod, i'll still unsure about that tho, so i'm using it like that don't blame me lol. This is my first psp!

This this what I own so far !!

a test of the game Slendytubbies II PSP in Quake

Got my new psp this weekend and I can’t put it down

I played Ghost of Sparta before Chains of Olympus because I didn't know it was the sequel, so maybe that biased my opinion, but I found Chains of Olympus pretty boring.

What I like most about Ghost of Sparta is the Spartan sword and shield, really nice.

Recently just bought a PSP, any recommendations for good horror/ FF games ? I’ve heard about Silent Hill Origins and FFIV but idk any other good ones.

This is what i have been working on. Now there is a score, tutorial, ex shoot, and all Cuphead Mechanics. I used AI for the complex Cuphead movement, to make it more similar to the original Cuphead movement. On a real PSP-3001, it runs at smoothly 60fps, with some little stuttering, but i will fix that.

I got this Japanese psp GO off whatnot for $115, I finally get the battery 1 month later and there's no battery connector pins...

I don't know how to solder but it can't be too hard right??
