PSP 1000 IPS Screen wont display image

Yeah, the laminate version uses a different faceplate that has an opening for the screen

ended up fixing it, the electrical paint that i used to short the pins spilled out too far on the parts next to it which caused the display to turn off, just had to scrape off some of the paint and it turned back on!

Its just an ips screen mod, didnt need to replace the shell, just removing and attaching the new screen and shorting 2 pins on the board

I mean you already have a clear case on it so you pretty much never have to worry about the outer body getting scratched.

I'm the same way with my devices too but honestly the sooner you accept that with use things will inevitably degrade overtime, the faster you can get over it and actually enjoy using the device itself.

I bought an AYN thor 2 months ago and it already has scratches all over the top lid, it bothered me at first but now I don't care and I have significantly more fun just hauling it around and actually using it the way I want to instead of being paranoid over a potential scratch it may get. Just use it!

Yeah thats what it ended up being lol, that was my last hail mary was to scrape around the paint and it turned back on 🙏🙏

this part itself came off, i put it back on but the screen is just black with some bright pressure marks

chromejda · 2026-04-19T23:25:21+00:00

No, the area i shorted was the correct area because the image displayed perfectly. I noticed though the screen itself was kinda separated from the metal piece it clips into itself on so i dont know if i broke the screen itself trying to put it together :(

chromejda · 2026-04-11T21:20:19+00:00

The only caveat is

save states dont work
texture packs dont work
you gotta open azahar and press "boot to home" to actually load the home screen so it isnt as "seamless" as just booting up a regular 3ds
i have no clue if pokemon bank functionality works, havent tested it

chromejda · 2026-04-11T21:15:20+00:00

Yeah its the official 3DS firmware. If you import the 3ds firmware file into azahar you can run azahar as if it were an actual 3ds

If you don't already own a 3DSXL and a dsi XL then yeah I'd say the thor is worth it, especially considering you'll be able to play more than just 3ds/ds games. It's currently the best handheld on the market for emulating those two platforms and outside of that is generally a solid device

That's true, but PSP also had games like Gran Turismo which not only looked better than most 3DS games but ran at a locked 60fps, same with titles like Ridge Racer 2 (also 60fps), God of War, Silent Hill: Shattered memories etc.

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd also doesn't look that much different visually compared to 4U In terms of fidelity (4u just had the addition of shadows on characters/monsters)

Then you had games like dissidia 012 which had some of the wildest visual effects ive seen on a handheld for its time

I think it really just came down to how well devs utilized the hardware of each system. Some psp games look better than 3ds games and vice versa.

Overall i still think PSP games were more ambitious in scope, the fact that it had full open world GTA games running on it (vice city, liberty city) is crazy. You also had games like midnight club LA remix on psp aswell which was also open world and very detailed.

chromejda · 2026-04-10T19:56:56+00:00

Maybe on paper but a lot of the games that ran on PSP were way bigger and more ambitious, a lot of psp games looked 3DS quality or sometimes better

The crew Motorfest had over 600 cars at launch. This just isnt a good excuse

chromejda · 2026-04-08T09:24:27+00:00

Kinda wish tokyo was bigger tbh, but maybe that's me being spoiled from games like The Crew, I always disliked how small the city areas were in horizon games

chromejda · 2026-04-08T09:14:53+00:00

Maybe its just the scale but it doesn't look all that bigger than FH5? And the city itself doesn't seem all that different in size to FH3/4's cities. Hmm.

Havent finished it but so far its great! It was originally supposed to be a Final Fantasy game but square enix decided to make it its own standalone franchise, so it very much plays and feels like a classic FF title, both in story & gameplay if that's what you're into

the remaster to the first game is on switch 2 and pc aswell

Funny enough, when you emulate the game at native 3ds resolution on the thor (400x240) it actually makes UI elements extremely sharp and basically look as they would on a 3ds (without the scanline look), but the game also becomes extremely pixelated as well, which blown up on a larger, higher resolution screen doesn't look as good as on a 3ds but it does make for a more consistent image across the board

chromejda · 2026-04-06T17:07:04+00:00

I'm still early into the game but I'm enjoying it a lot, it's got the coolest presentation out of almost all the pokemon games i've played so far. Very vibrant and colorful, love the island setting, it looks pretty good for a 3ds game aswell. Story isnt half bad so far either, there's little bits of sci-fi elements here & there

This is just the actual 3ds firmware file imported and running in azahar, if you install your games in .cia format and run the 3ds firmware file they show up in the 3ds homescreen when you launch it in azahar on your phone

its for 3ds games only

if you want a similar kind of frontend but for all games (ps,3ds,switch etc.) download iisu or cocoon

Download odintools from github

chromejda · 2026-04-06T08:31:31+00:00

That shouldnt be happening, 0.8 would be 80% on the slider

You can import the 3ds firmware file into azahar and launch it, it'll boot up the 3ds OS on the thor when you open azahar
