I want to mod a psp 3001 but don't know a thing about doing it nor can I find any new videos on modding a psp 3001. I would like emulate a bunch of games on it and preferably upgrade the battery and replace the case.
The last digit on the model number stands for the region of the console, (0 = Japan, 1 = North America, 2 = Australlia/New Zealand 3 = UK, 4 = Europe, 5 = Korea, 6 = Singapore/Hong Kong, 7 = Taiwan, 8 = Russia, 9 = China and 10 = Mexico) so basically there's no difference between 3001 and any other 300X model except the country/region the device was sold in.
For the modding part, you can use any Infinity 2.0 guide on YouTube. I recommend you to follow MrMario2011's PSP Modding Tutorial since his tutorial is pretty clear and straightforward. He shows where to put your backup games & homebrews (emulators are homebrews too) aswell.
You can find batteries and shells (casings) from online shopping websites like eBay, Amazon, Aliexpress etc. If you want to replace both you should buy a slim battery (2000 and 3000 models share the same battery) and a shell specifically for the 3000 model.
Don't get me wrong, every PSP is non-region locked. You can play any game from any region on any PSP. Only UMD Movies and region specific apps (Digital Comics, Comic Reader, T-DMB, X-Radar Portable) are region-locked. As I said on my previous post, the last digit of the model just stands for the country/region the PSP was sold in. In your case your PSP was sold in North America but is not region-locked.

You control a kitten. You fall out the window and have to make your way back home. Solve some light puzzles, do cat things like knock stuff over and steal things, trip people up when theyre walking, pounce on birds, complete goals/tasks etc. in the process of getting back to your home.
@SylverReZ It's short but adorable imo. Im a HUGE cat lover.Can be completed in a couple of hours if just going for the main goals. But can be stretched out a good deal by exploring and doing everything there is to do and see.
