Remember, readily available MicroSD card converters from China weren’t a thing yet. #Sonic unleashed ps2 crashing on camera changes pcsx2 proHe created the first ISO compressor called DAX ZISO due to the very small storage sizes for Memory Stick PRO DUOs back in the day. #Sonic unleashed ps2 crashing on camera changes pcsx2 pspDark Alex was the father of PSP hacking and without him, we wouldn’t be here today. There was the MagicGate swap in which you had to swap your sticks in the middle of loading a specific file to exploit a loophole. I remember the Japanese 1.0 firmware PSPs had already been easily hacked and Sony had fixed this between the US launch with the 1.50 firmware that the launch units shipped with. Out of respect for the community I wanted to put a little history behind the PSP hacking scene. The below shot is my board variation, but there are two others I will also list. It takes all the ghosting and “screen door” effect away and makes it the best panel out of any unit. They are at least cheap being less than $25 and are a breeze to install. You need to solder a bridge between two points on the motherboard otherwise the screen will be shifted to the left and off-center. You can easily make this PSP the best out of any unit by just modding the IPS screen. #Sonic unleashed ps2 crashing on camera changes pcsx2 modHow do I make it a better experience? IPS Panel Mod Lacks the larger RAM that newer systems have.Terrible screen with ghosting, dead pixels, and dull colors.Most compatible with every custom firmware.Most units are loose however and they used to have the most hackable motherboards, but that’s irrelevant today. While this is meaningless today, it was a great deal back in the day. If you find a launch unit they usually came with the value pack box. #Sonic unleashed ps2 crashing on camera changes pcsx2 fullMy launch unit had a few, but some people had full lines out of the box. Sony had to send reps out to nearly every game store to explain to them that they won’t warranty out screens with dead pixels as this was expected with the technology at the time. This stemmed from the panels having a low refresh rate. What was there to compare it to? LCD TVs were insanely expensive as well as monitors for PCs. These screens were pretty new back in the day so no one really noticed the ghosting. The biggest weakness is the ghosting on the original LCD. ![]() Overall, the 1000 unit will feel the most solid in your hand. It has more aluminum parts, a stronger UMD door, and a bigger battery. Not just because of my nostalgia for it, but it’s the only one that feels truly solid and well built. This is my favorite unit out of any iteration. I remember the sheer beauty of the LCD display and the widescreen picture blowing me away. Thankfully we lived a few blocks away so when I got home I tore the box open (not literally) and I had Ridge Racer to play. I remember the joy and sheer contained excitement when I saw my box get scanned and handed to me. I didn’t want to lose my place in line so I had my youngest sister run out to my mom for a penny when the guy behind me gave me one. I remember the employees playing their system inside (I remember talks of Lumines) and I also remember putting down my final deposit and coming up a single cent short. I remember waiting in line at Game Crazy 30 minutes before they opened along with a few dozen other excited people. I saved up my allowance for 6 months to get the Value Pack launch unit which I still have to this day. Sony daring to challenge the almighty GameBoy and DS line? Nintendo was no longer the dominant handheld maker now. Sony created a handheld? No! It was mind-blowing and shook the entire game industry to its core. In 2004, when I saw an article for the reveal of the PSP, I lost my mind. It was one of the most memorable as well. March 24, 2005, was a very important day to me. ***My guide made it to the sidebar of r/PSP subreddit. ![]()
