This version is a bit of a maintenance release. We’ve provided some backward compatibility with OpenGL, so it even works in VMWare! We’ve also increased performance on the PSP. Check out the rest of what’s changed in the changelist, see the new screenshots, and, of course, download! Leave us any feedback in the comments of this news post! Here is the latest screenshot!

The PSP Ultimate Repair Guide v1 provides you a step by step how-to on several hardware issues.

Featured in this tutorial are the steps for PSP disassembly, LED tutorial, what to do when your UMD does not read, power switch replacement, analog replacement, and more tips for repair. It’s actually simplified yet comprehensive, so am sure it’ll be helpful to the new users out there. Only thing lacking for me would be a “Back to Menu” button.
