Experienced Issues 

We are constantly working on improving this project and Stephen is doing all the work on his own. Please have patients as this is a pure hobby for him and not his job or his main goal in life. As things are updated we wish to see all errors removed. 

​​

If you feel you have skills that will help with this project feel free to head over to Stephens github and offer you help. 

TV out issue 

The video out for the PSP is all handled by the PSP itself. The 2000 and 3000 models all have native YRPB component video out. We took advantage of this. We do not change that internal setup. So if you want the best results you must use a OEM component cable connected to a good retro console upscaler.

 

Lots of HDMI converters exist for the PSP, the shell can accommodate this converters however sometimes the PSP itself blocks the use of 3rd part TV out cables. At least two of the cables I tried from amazon had this issue. 

​

I have tested after market 3rd party component cables with an upscaler and they seem to work. OEM is best but 9$ component cables from amazon will work if you have a good scaler.  You also can do component to HDMI converter I have had a few customers say this works well for them.

BlueTooth Pairing and OTA updates

The updates for firmware on the PS Placeable are done all OTA this is a new tech and is still being developed. There will be times where connecting and updating will drop or have errors. These errors are normal and most often will be solved with a press of the reset button on your console and a refresh of your web browser then try again. 

​

We use chrome for all BT functions. Some browsers block the ability to access BT devices. So please use chrome for the best end results.

​

Windows will some times not find any Bluetooth devices, flicking the Bluetooth off in the windows settings then back on again often fixes this issue.

Connect your system to power

It is important that you are using an OEM PSP charging cable to power your placeable. This console and the mod have been rated for the 5V the power charger supply's. Using after market chargers and wiring your own devices or additions will effect the power consumption and can cause issues.

Ribbon Cables

The PSP uses ribbon cables to connect the various buttons. The BT mod has to connect to those same FFC's if you are having button issues the FFC's are where you should start to trouble shoot. The BT board labels and breaks down the buttons into three groups. 

​

- Left (or L on the BT board) This connector handles the D pad and left trigger. This ribbon can cause issues for 3K builds. DOUBLE CHECK that you have connected it all the way to the left or you will experience issues. 

​

- Center (or C on the BT board) This connector handles all the menu buttons on the PSP including the display out, start as well as select. If you are having issues outputting your display. This ribbon should be checked.

​

- Right ( or R on the BT board) This connector handles the shape buttons and the Right trigger, this cable also handles the power and sleep functions. This should be a straight forward connection always double check though.
