Purchased a used psp off ebay and it powered on but the screen was damaged. No big deal. Finally got the psp powering on and able to see what is going on. Sadly it seems to just continuously boot into a PRO recovery menu and no matter what i press it just navigates down by itself and I am unable to select any of the choices. Can I just do a factory reset? Was the new screen and button ribbon cables purchase for nothing? Thanks for any input

Hmm... As I understand it, there would seem to be problems with the x button and the Dpad, which appear to be pressed even though they are not, if you say that software starts on its own and navigates down automatically. Open the console and check for problems with the buttons, if you are able to do that.

Everything looks fine as far as I can tell. Even booted up with no faceplate I get the same situation

    If you get a chance to get a Pi5, get it, its like 3 times as fast as the Pi4 for Emu. GameCube and Wii games even play well.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure if it would behoove me, mines that B model with 8GBs of RAM got mine OCed to 2GHz and the only two games I found that might work better N64 Killer Instinct and PSP Motor Storm Arctic Thunder
