I've not touched my psp 1000 in forever until I saw his IPS mod video and decided to install that and get a glass screen mod. It's awesome but after that I experienced joystick drift and I took apart the joystick and cleaned it and I also bought replacements (THEY ARE BAD, KEEP YOUR ORIGINAL) and it still didn't fix the drift so it's something else. It kept happening even with my original top shell so I don't know. I haven't tried the joysense joystick software yet. I ordered a new rubber part that goes between the main board and the joystick to see if that fixes it. I own three vita's and a psp go but I'm still a bit bummed because the IPS screen with the glass lense looks so clear and it's great. I googled the joystick replacements and there's a problem with them where they get stuck when you move them around. I managed to kinda fix it but the original joysticks are way better. Also for anybody maybe wanting a glass screen - get the top shell replacement on ali or ebay and the glass and use B-7000 glue. It's real good.

I've been looking at some PSP 1000 models for parts on eBay to maybe do this project. When did "parts" become so expensive?
I've got a 1000 in working condition if you're still looking. Would probably be willing to part with it for a fair price. Depends on what parts you specifically are looking for, I guess. The housing is a little beat up (was like that when I got it).

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
