Yes! Every PSP starts with genuine Sony hardware, which I carefully refurbish and rebuild using a combination of original and replacement parts. Each custom PSP 3000 gets a fresh shell and battery, while the internal hardware is inspected and tested.

Everything you need to get started! Each PSP comes with a 64GB memory card, USB charging cable, USB-C charging adapter, hard carrying case, screen protector, and microfiber cloth. You'll also receive a brand-new OSTENT battery. Just check your chosen product listing for the exact specifications!

Games aren't included with the console, but every PSP comes with ARK-5 custom firmware preinstalled, so adding your own is pretty simple. Just copy your compatible .ISO files to the ISO folder on your Memory Stick, and you're good to go.

You can find more details here.

Absolutely! Every PSP is carefully inspected and tested before shipping, including the buttons, analog stick, display, speakers, UMD drive, and charging functionality.

Every PSP comes with a standard LCD screen by default. You can upgrade to an IPS display for better viewing angles, significantly reduced ghosting, no visible scanlines, and more accurate, natural-looking colours. Both options look great, but the IPS upgrade offers the best visual experience!

Yes! Each PSP comes with ARK-5 custom firmware preinstalled, allowing you to use homebrew applications, compatible emulators, and other features beyond the original software.

Quite a few! With custom firmware, the PSP can run emulators for Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, Sega Genesis, and even some SNES games. It also has native support for PlayStation 1 games. So whether you want to revisit Pokémon on the GBA or Silent Hill on the original PlayStation, your PSP has you covered! 

Yes! The UMD drive is serviced and tested, so you can still enjoy your original physical PSP games.

Yes! All my PSP consoles are imported from Japan, but they can play physical PSP games from any region, including Europe and the US. ARK-5 custom firmware also lets you switch between UMD movie regions. I've also changed the Japanese button configuration to the familiar Western layout, with X to confirm and O to cancel, so everything works just as you'd expect!

Yes! Every PSP comes with a USB-C charging adapter, so you can use your own USB-C cable to charge it. I recommend using a standard 5V charger rather than a fast-charging power brick.

Yes! With ARK-5 custom firmware, the PSP can connect to many modern 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks with WPA2 support enabled. Local multiplayer also works with compatible PSP games, allowing you to play wirelessly with friends nearby.

Of course! If you'd prefer to keep your PSP completely stock in terms of software, just leave a note with your order, and I'll ship it with the original Sony firmware instead.

I usually prepare and ship orders within 2–5 business days. Once dispatched, delivery typically takes 5–14 business days within Europe and 7–30 business days for the USA and other international destinations.

Express shipping is also available if you'd like your PSP sooner! Keep in mind that customs, holidays, and postal delays can sometimes affect delivery times.

You can find more details on my Shipping page.

Every PSP comes with a new OSTENT 1200mAh battery, providing around 3–4 hours of gameplay, depending on screen brightness, volume, and the game you're playing. The optional IPS screen is also more power-efficient, which may help extend battery life.

Yes! Every PSP comes with a 6-month limited warranty starting from the day it's delivered. It covers hardware defects, faulty components, and issues related to refurbishment or assembly under normal use.

If anything goes wrong, just reach out! I'll help troubleshoot the issue and arrange a repair, replacement, or refund if needed. :)
