Where it came from, what we did to it

A Sony PSP-1000 in champagne gold, a Japanese-region (NTSC-J) unit with an IPS screen installed — though the screen may need realignment. Tested and working, and it reads UMD games properly. The system appears to have older custom firmware installed (5.50 Prome-4), and we can't say for certain whether the shell is original or a reshell. Sold as the console and battery only — no charger, memory card, or game. No games, ROMs, BIOS, or copyrighted data of any kind are included or advertised — the system ships without a memory card. Load only homebrew or content you legally own.

Flaws we found

• ▲ IPS screen may need realignment
• ▲ Shell may be original or a reshell — not 100% certain
