Comment on My PSP Scrapbook: Part Retrospective, Part Collage
TheOakTree@lemmy.zip 1 week ago
Love the PSP! Grew up with it and loved the more mature titles available compared to Nintendo’s handheld game library. A couple years ago I purchased a faulty PSP for dirt cheap and replaced the display, shell, and UMD drive. Unfortunately the clear analog stick I purchased is quite rubbish and needs to be replaced, but I haven’t gotten around to it.

This looks amazing!
But yes, the aftermarket replacement shells are often quite good (or, equally often not good at all - they’re a gamble whether they’ll be a nice one or not!) But the sticks are known to be bad. People tend to stick with original sticks, from what I recall.
Though your effort looks amazing, I love the transparent shell!
Fix it up completely!!! Consider this your reminder to do so

The shell I got was mediocre. It all comes together, but there are definitely some weird gaps and bad tolerances. I had to trim down some plastic to get everything to line up half-decently.
I’m glad you like the transparent shell as well, as I was a bit on the fence about it at first.
