This is so nice, and then is me with my cringe PSP 3000 which I got new in the box in 2016 and it failed some years after lol.

The battery was messed up (something not uncommon) and then it stopped recognizing batteries at all, something about the bios kinda thingy that is soldered in the motherboard, I read that if you cleaned it up it would help, I opened my unit and I couldn't de attach correctly the cable that powers the unit, I ripped the piece where it plugs all with my hand, to have it half working I glued that piece to the motherboard, which seemed to work (unit wired) for some time, so yeah, this whole mess was a big fail from my part ๐Ÿคก

I think the best route for me would be to swap the motherboard entirely, or call it a day and get a Retrod Pocket 3 Plus lol.

This is so cool, but I don't think it would handle PSP games better than... Well the actual PSP ๐Ÿ˜
