![Haobase 3 X Analog Joystick Stick Cap Cover Button for PSP 1000 [Sony PSP]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41eDjdVhQfL.jpg)
That's cheap for a gimmick speaker, actually.
They have already delivered at least one product, that seems to work, 3.8/5 stars on Amazon. So it seems likely that they'll deliver this one, and it'll work.
Whether you'll be one of the five-star or the two-star users is hard to predict. It might depend on what your expectations were.
Doesn't seem shitty to me, just a bit overhyped.
Buy these, pull that thing off, replace it.
I know you've put in a lot of effort on getting your current set up to work. But there's a component cable for the PSP go that was made by sony. That would be a pretty easy solution..
Edit: Amazon link -- https://www.amazon.com/PSPgo-Component-AV-Cable-Sony-PSP/dp/B002LH4UB0
I think I can do that for ya, honestly. I also have, for the left joystick, little caps that make grip better if that interests you too. Maybe private message me I suppose, get this goin!
Edit: and no purchasing, they're so silly cheap, I got it n the postage etc..
Edit 2: This is the left joystick cover, could hook you up with one of those. I honestly love it. Long gaming sessions are perfect for this seemingly simple and pointless lil' grip.
Edit 3: And this is the c-stick replacement. Someone else linked it above as well, but yeah, the psp-1,000 joystick or whatever. Works really great.
Edit 4: Since I'm really gettin down on all this N3DS speak, I'd like to share this as well. My goodness, it makes gaming 1,000x better. Since the grips are not directly under the 3DS, and they are almost basically on the sides, it makes it feel like a legit, comfortable ass videogame controller! (In the vein of an Xbox or PS4 controller) With how I said the grips are on the sides, it makes it not feel so damn cramped like some of the other N3DS grips can. It's seriously so, SO worth the $15 bucks.
PDP PSVita Pull 'N Go Folio is a great case, I have no regrets about buying it.
I've done it to 2 different N3DS XLs. Use Haobase brand caps if you can find them. I've tried Instens and 2 generic brands and they never quite fit properly. The Haobase ones seem to fit the best.
I recently did this mod, here are the caps you need. OP failed to mention it has to be PSP 1000.
I will say I definitely prefer it, but it's not guaranteed better, it's a personal preference. The stick still doesn't move around like the circle pad, meaning you don't really feel it moving, but I will say it feels better to use.
While this may not answer your question directly, here is a really good case for your Vita (Link for more pictures). You will need to buy a memory card separate though.
My concern is that the analog sticks would get pushed around in the case itself causing unnecessary wear. I purchased this case from GameStop for just that reason. The case itself has two notches where the analog sticks fit in and it gives space so that they aren't touched when carrying the vita around. I don't really have to worry about that problem with it.
This case: https://www.amazon.com/CTA-Digital-Vita-Travel-Protective-Case/dp/B0073ESYZO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499231679&sr=8-1&keywords=vita+case
and this card holder - https://www.amazon.com/Nyko-Game-Case-Vita-PlayStation/dp/B007AJZ5PY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1499231679&sr=8-5&keywords=vita+case
Slips right in the case, and holds 10 cards.

[screen protector]
(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J00BLRM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) - i put it on slightly crooked, but it hasn't curled up at all, so i just live w/ the tiny imperfection in it's placement.
[bonus: game case]
(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007AJZ5PY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) - fits in the vita case alongside a pair of headphones. the vita case has like 5 little pockets for games, but this holds more, protects games better, and has a couple inserts for holding memory cards.
On that note, i think i'm gonna go lay down and wrap up chapter 5 of Trails of Cold Steel 1. Woohoo!

Yes you could.

Buy a psp 1000 analog stick cover and replace your C-stick nipple is all I can say. I did it and the system feels entirely different and much easier to use. Here is a link to the ones I bought-https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005IF00ZM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Installing it is literally as easy as using your nail to peel the rubber off the c-stick and then putting this on there instead.
I like it! However, there are some tweaks you may want to consider (if you want some unsolicited feedback):
Otherwise, it looks AWESOME and I really love the stand you've included. Definitely great work! I wish I could find a mashup of your grip and the one I'm currently using because they both have things I want :)

I have this for the Vita. I realllllly want a Switch version. Essentially what you have here
Would like to tag on to this to say buying a controller grip and if you're using a N3DSXL, replacing the nub with a PSP 1000 series stick will hugely increase the quality of play. My brother owns a N2DSXL and made the same changes. If ripping out the nub makes you uncomfortable, videos on YouTube are easy to find. I do not regret it one bit, the psp stick is a full upgrade from the shitty nub.
In 2016 I bought a N3DSXL to exclusively play Pokemon and to enter the MH franchise. I tried MHGEN first and the barrier of the controls, and Gen's assumption that you're already an experienced Hunter made me quit before I even killed a Great Maccao.
Advice online suggested MH4U was a better entry point to the series, and it 100% was for me. That motivated me to find ways to make the handheld more comfortable for my giant fucking sausage fingers.
To me, MH4U legitimately feels like a full sized game stuffed into a handheld system. I still found myself fully immersed, even with 3ds graphics, which really fly below the radar when you're occupied with the technical mechanics that make this series so addicting.
Yes it is. You just need a cable to do it.http://www.amazon.com/PSP-Composite-AV-Cable-Sony/dp/B000VIUNZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1292422040&sr=8-1
have you tried [this] (http://www.amazon.com/PSP-AV-Cable-Sony/dp/B000VIUNZI) kind of cable?
One thing you should observe is what model is your psp ( 1000, 2000, 3000 or Go), because i think the cable will vary from one to another. If you want to know more about your TV, these red, yellow, and white holes are called 'Component Video'. Read a little on [this] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_video) wikipedia article.
I've got 2 for my Go, an official one
, and another cheapie charging one from amazon that I can't even find a link for anymore.
for the psp 2k's I've got tv out docks as well
Like this
The component AV cable for connecting the PSP Go to your TV.
You could always replace your nub with this.

Sorry for the long link btw.
Put a PSP nub in place of the Nintendo one
Video on how to put the nub in
The nub 3x pack I bought
I just did this over the weekend and the game is unbelievably more enjoyable. It’s absolutely a game changer when it comes to the camera. A lot more comfortable and a lot more pressure sensitive, but not to the point of you overshooting the camera swings. You’ll get a feel for it after a minute.
Warning: you’ll have to be comfortable with the idea of taking the nub out permanently. But honestly, once you do, you’ll never look back.
http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Pull-Folio-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JTY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416471327&sr=8-1&keywords=pdp+vita+folio this will not only carry your vita but it will also carry 23 games! its pretty expensive though but from what i hear its actually really good! and the vita case can be removed and carried on its own.and the vita case itself holds 3 games i believe. EDIT the vita case inside itself holds 4 games and the rest of the package holds 23!
Hey here it is, it's the pull-n-go folio:
PDP PSVita Pull 'N Go Folio https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072A4JTY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_qZ6MybSEYXRBF
It has a smaller detachable pouch that fits just the Vita and some games alone. It's already snug for just the vita, but the larger folio does have a section next to the pouch where the grips might fit. http://i.imgur.com/NR2gl9g.jpg http://i.imgur.com/3AnuXKz.jpg http://i.imgur.com/T3We6Hj.jpg
I use the PDP PSVita Pull 'N Go Folio and would definitely recommend it. You can throw your charger and 19 games in the main case, or remove the smaller case and store 4 games. Bought it a while ago and I'm still loving it.

This might help as you can put your little cart cases to place in the Vita or ac adapter pouch for your extra games.

I don't know if that one.
Hope this helps
depends on the grips you get these are ok i used them for a while
http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408481861&sr=8-1&keywords=pdp+trigger
then i got these and they are so much more comfortable and the triggers feel softer and easier to pull
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/171233578510?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Wow those grips look better than mines! What are they called and where do you get them?. My main problem with the PDP grips is that the triggers aren't easier to press.
I own these and while they are comfy the L trigger feels squishy. Tried out the Nyko one without the battery pack and it felt to big for my hands.
I am going to jump to the $5 one myself.
you get used to it after a while.... get these grips or something similar, they help keep your hands more confortable.

Honestly, I think we'll see a third party manufacturer make exactly what you said: a holder with palm grips and comfortable shoulder buttons.
I tried something like this for the PS Vita and it felt so good. https://www.amazon.com/PDP-PSVita-Trigger-Grips/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1488120601&sr=8-4&keywords=ps+vita+grip
The screens are the same dimensions so the 2000 screen protectors will work fine.
And I have this trigger grip which works great for extended play sessions.

You can rotate games so I wouldn't worry about a bigger memory card but I highly recommend getting trigger grips as the bumpers are awful. It'd also be nice if Sony created a good L1/L2/R1/R2 solution. Here's the one I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0072A4JVW?cache=ffe6f2a6f31e0c1ba6336eea7769d2a1&pi=SX200_QL40&qid=1404337399&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1
I tried this one and hated it:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073ESZ58/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
But then I bought this one and it is amazing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072A4JVW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm sure if you search on Amazon you'll find the same one for the same price I got it (around $10).
Look for ones that expand the trigger grips and don't block the charger.
I bought this for $5. I mean it looks fine and all but I don't know how many people have that stuff laying around.
If you are looking for a good microSD with adaptor all included I bough this recently and I am very happy with it.

The original camera had a nice optional stand:

If you have the old camera, I would highly recommend this..
You just need something like this...

My TV is super thin also and it works fine.

HORI creates the highest quality cases for consoles period. For $15, you get both in one product. However, if you want a different screen protector, then go ahead, since they HORI cheap'd out on it.
I use this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Tomee-Vita-Protective-Carrying-Pouch-playstation/dp/B00LHTR87G/
It's good enough to protect against scratches and small bumps when in my messenger bag.
If you want something a bit more protective, I highly recommend the WaterField Designs VITA case.
https://www.sfbags.com/collections/sony-ps-vita-cases/products/sony-ps-vita-cityslicker-case
It's expensive but I think it's worth the cost. Feels sturdy, holds a few games, and has a rear pocket for accessories like a charging cable.

There's a 6 pack.
I have no experience with it, but I saw something on Amazon yesterday that claims to work with any console. Looked interesting, so I'd be curious to hear from anyone who has actually used it.

You would need to buy a TV component out cable, a USB video capture device for your MacBook (can't help ya there) and probably some video editing software to crop out the black borders.
(Be aware different PSPs have different ports for TV out, the one above only works on 2000)
It looks fine. I used to play Dissidia on my 42 inch tv using these all the time.
I played WOTL (the PSP version) on my TV using component cables: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Computer-Entertainment-PSP-2000-Cable-PlayStation/dp/B000VIPJ0W
Actually the one you want is this one: http://www.amazon.com/PSP-Component-AV-Cable-Sony/dp/B000VIPJ0W/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_img_b
The composite cable DOES NOT support gameplay. I found this out the hard way.
The PSP 2000 can use usb video output (the usb goes into ps3 and turn on usb output in the psp's settings). That or you can use the cables sold that are designed specifically to plug in your 2-3000 into a monitor/tv. These are the cables http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000VIPJ0W
There may also just be human error, I've used a 2000 with a remotejoy successfully.
I know the PSP 1000 had the serial port but I admit I'm not 100% sure if it supported video out. I am however, sure that the PSP slim/3000 supported it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000VIUNZI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1465242940&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=psp+video+out&dpPl=1&dpID=41hYYSiiwfL&ref=plSrch So this just adds to my point. The PSP slim came out in 2007 and supported Video Out.
The PS3 controller connects via Bluetooth, so the PSP X000s will not function this way as they lack BT.
The PSP Go has Bluetooth (as does the Xperia Play phone/handheld hybrid) so they both have been shown to be able to connect with the PS3 controller (maybe someone can provide a specific example or tutorial). To get the PSP Go connected to a TV you will need the PSPGo cradle. Keep in mind that one of the reviews says the cradle does not come with the cables to do TV out ... so that will be extra.
Also I've read in /r/Android that you can do PS3 controller over BT + Android phone -> TV, though it may need some software/HDMI cable to do so, depending on your setup (and whether or not your TV has WiFi).
Edit: fixed link
With a cable you can get component video out https://www.amazon.com/PSPgo-Component-AV-Cable-Sony-PSP/dp/B002LH4UB0
You can get a converter box to then go to HDMI if that's all your display has.
It actually replaces it! I bought a set of 3 for $4.99 off amazon. and all you have to do it Pry out the old C stick gently, cut the loops holding it in place, then press the cap over the C-stick area, Here's a video I watched before deciding to do it:

Unfortunately they're no longer available through Prime. I do have two extras here though if you would like for me to ship you one! :)
Hope this helps! :D
amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Haobase-Analog-Joystick-Button-PSP-Sony/dp/B005IF00ZM
you get 3 so you can't mess up.
I replaced my C-stick with a PSP C-Stick. It's much better than the 3DS C-stick, imo.
You can buy a PSP C-stick here
And here is a tutorial on how to replace it.
Just a warning, you need to open up your 3DS for this so will need a screwdriver. I highly recommend you use a Phillips #00 screwdriver.
Now it might feel a little weird when you use PSP c-stick, but you will get used to it. I use it all the time in Monster Hunter and it works really great.
So are These not official then?
PDP Ps Vita Pull 'N Go Folio Case
https://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Pull-Folio-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JTY
This is the one I've been rolling with and it's served me so well. Space for the charger and some 20-ish games as well as 4 memory cards. There's a smaller case within that can be pulled out that serves for when I'm not gonna be gone long but want to game that also holds 4 game cards and the vita.
If you plan on playing games in it, then my suggestion is not the one you're looking for.
I went with the Pull and go Folio--haven't regretted it yet. It's basically separated into two cases; one that can be pulled out for maximum efficiency... Or something like that.
Anyway, it works well for me.
It's this one: http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Pull-Folio-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JTY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374860310&sr=8-1&keywords=pull+n+go+vita
The small case holds 4 carts, but the bigger binder holds a lot more than that.
You want a screen protector for the back, at the very least. The front is pretty hardy, but the back needs something, or it's going to pick up scratches when you just set it down.
Personally, I went with a generic-brand crystal case with a generic protector on both the back and front screens. It doesn't look amazing, but it gets the job done without increasing the bulk of the system so much that it won't fit into whatever case you buy.
The Pull N Go Folio is a pretty nice way to transport it. The pull-out case is hard enough to endure getting thrown around in a bag, and you have the option of also packing it into the full folio if you want more room for cartridges/accessories.
I got the BD&A Media Stand in blue:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/BD%26amp%3BA+-+Media+Stand+for+PlayStation+Vita/4759751.p?id=1218523195635&skuId=4759751
And the PDB Pull 'N Go Folio:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072A4JTY/ref=oh_o06_s00_i00_details
I like both of them, the Vita fits in the folio with the media stand attached, which I wasn't sure about until I got them both.
The folio has slots for many games plus the pouch that holds the Vita has a few slots for games as well and it detachable from the folio for when you don't want to take the whole thing with you.
I don't trust the brand. I do have the PDP Pull N' Go Folio and I love everything about it.
This is what I use. It's no longer available from Amazon it seems, but it's very nice. It holds 23 PS Vita games, 2 memory cards, the PS Vita system, and the charger.
If you don't want to take the full case around, it has a mini-case inside that's removable, and can hold the PS Vita, and 4 games. If you can find it available somewhere, I highly recommend it. I've had it since 2012 and it's still in fine condition.
I ordered this and it should be arriving today. It has the most consistently high reviews on Amazon. I'll try to check in later when I actually have my hands on it. What interested me most was the fact that it has a small, detachable case for just the PS and a few game cards, but the larger case will hold even more game cards as well as the charger for longer trips. I'm flying to Colorado next week, so it will get a good test run.
I bought the PS one. Fits it just fine.
dock
As long as the handles aren't bigger then grips , you should be fine.
hey thanks! yes they are super comfy. these are the ones i have
FWIW I play my Vita way more often since I got these. The Vita by itself makes my hands cramp up because of awkward finger placements and the handles help so much.
But also yes, PS+ is pretty rad and even if you decide to get rid of your Vita you'll still get the games for PS3.

I play Battlefield 4 remote play and this has helped me personally. PDP PSVita Trigger Grips by PDP http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_n-GStb1K0242K
There's the Nyko Power Grip which has an external battery to "double" the Vita's battery life.
There is also the PDP Trigger Grip which uses triggers to push your Vita's shoulder buttons.
There are also a variety of plain grips which don't really add any functionality other than the grip.
As for case that can fit a Vita with a grip, I've heard of people using iPad Mini cases, such as this. Also this case on Amazon has been recommended. Here is a picture: click.
I have both the Nyko Power Grip and the PDP Trigger Grip and I really like them both. I've found the Nyko is just a little more comfortable for me and I love the extra battery life but having the extended triggers on the PDP grip is useful at times. Either grip is definitely better than no grip. I'm a girl but 6ft and apparently my hands are just too large to play without them.
EDIT: The Nyko Power grip can be picked up in the wild for cheaper than that amazon link. I just put it up for reference. If you don't care about the extra battery life also check out the CTA Grip.
Wish i would have seen this a week ago
I bought the trigger grips, the nyko power grips and the nyko clones (no power) i think ct or something.
I threw the trigger grips in the trash (only paid $6 for them)
The nyko battery died but its by far the most comfortable. good luck
p.s. the triggers on the pdp suck and are not an improvement over the regular vita triggers imho. I play a lot of destiny. YMMV with other games
http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416511565&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=ps+vita+trigger+grrp
I went through this same dilemma recently, and ended up with two different grips.
First I bought the PDP because it seemed to be the most "dual shock" like. It's pretty expensive, so I bought one used off eBay. It came smelling like cigarettes, but after leaving it in a bowl of warm dishsoap for an hour it was good as new. However, the shoulder triggers are terrible. Very spongey and they are prone to getting stuck at times. Plus they make an awful squeaky crunching sound that made it hard to play at night without waking up my SO. A lot of other people had this problem online, so I tried a few different solutions I found. I took out the top screws to make the case looser, which didn't make much of a difference. Later I used some WD-40 on the triggers which made a tiny difference, but not enough.
I decided I was done with the stupid thing and about a week ago I ordered the Dreamgear Comfort Grip off Amazon. It doesn't feel as much like a dual shock, but it is waaaay better than the stupid overpriced PDP in every other aspect. Going from the PDP to the Dreamgear was like taking gloves made of cement off my hands. I recommend the DG 100%.
So far I bought:
PDP trigger grips
An adapter so I can char be via any USB charger
Sony screen protective film
Kinda ridiculous that they purposely disabled the ability to charge via any USB charger.
I find it is a little. I got the Trigger Grip and for games where you use the sticks more it's okay, but the grip part isn't as long as I'd like it to be.

You echo my impressions. The slow down is similar (but not as bad) to what happens on my 2009 Macbook Pro. This was fixed on PC by being able to disable full screen effects. Still it's disappointing to see it on Vita and with no options to turn off full screen effects here. One might even argue that ghosting is easier with the slight lag. However the "dead are restless" levels are much worse and the "wet fur" levels have this issue as well.
Regarding point #3, you can buy external attachments for the Vita. This model which I use has PS3/360 style triggers and makes prolonged gaming periods tolerable. Something like this will be even better although it's missing the faux triggers of the first model.
I'm glad I could be of help! I love my Vita and I couldn't be happier to help someone else decide if they want one of their own.
FPS have been really hit or miss depending on your play style. For instance the Black ops declassified campaign was really poor. It was basically a bunch of time trials strung together. However I had a really good time with the horde mode the game offers and drop back in to it every now and again when I have a few minutes to spare.
I've been hearing really good things about Killzone mercenary so much so in fact that I'm starting to believe that this game could end up being a heavy system seller.
Here's a gameplay trailer
For the record I also enjoy the single player campaign to these games, they come off as corny action movies. Which is the best thing ever.
Can you elaborate on the rear touchpad? What is it made for? Will it get in the way of me trying to play the games I've purchased?
The rear touch pad adds a significant amount of interaction to many Vita titles. For instance Little big planet Vita allows you to interact with some objects in the environment in different ways. It also functions as the L-2 and R-2 buttons for PS2 titles. Many games don't bother with it's use what so ever however, so it's kind of hit or miss.
The difficulty you'll have with it really depends on the size of your hands, as a giant handed monstrosity I have some issues with it personally. Getting some grips for your Vita well help out quite a bit if you're a fellow monstrosity.
These trigger grips help a bunch
Lastly, I'm guessing that I can DL games from PS+ while I'm on my home wifi. Is that correct, or is there a specific cable that I need to DL games from PS+ directly to the Vita?
You can indeed download games via wifi quite easily with the Vita, while also being able to transfer them to either cloud storage or your PC to save space when not playing them. Additionally the the AC adapter doubles as a USB cord to plug the system into your PC for easy transfers and whatnot. It's good stuff.
I hope this helped! And don't worry about asking questions, we're a pretty helpful community overall! :D
*Edit: So many typos -_-
Here is the grip I have.
If I'm at home it has very low latency which is good, even the aiming is somewhat accurate (better then I'd expect). Because my hands are leaner than I'd say yours (according to your disclaimer ) its not too bad, no where near as good as the ds4, also the controls are mapped as l2 and r2 are the left and right of the back touchpad and l3 and r3 are the two bottoms corners so it makes it somewhat easier to handle then say having all the buttons mapped to the back (example being battlefield 4) all in all its great for bed side gaming I'd say, also there are grips like these that make it easier to hold
you can still find it on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072A4JVW
I really like the PDP Grips. You might be able to find them cheaper on eBay or elsewhere. Lately, I've considered upgrading to the Nyko Power Grip though. They seem bulky, but I've heard they're great.
I personally use these cases. I have around 11 of them and if you take out the memory card holder, these cases can fit 10 games.
https://www.amazon.com/Nyko-Game-Case-Vita-Sony-PS/dp/B007AJZ5PY
I got this carrying case:
Smatree P100L Carrying Case for PS Vita 1000, PSV 2000 with Cover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JUEWS4W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_XJCA2HODEoweR
And these game cases:
Nyko Game Case for Vita - PlayStation Vita https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007AJZ5PY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CGRuzbX81BKWE
And this case to put on the Vita:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/KMD-Crystal-Case-Clear-PS-Vita-PS-Vita/21692780
The carrying case fits my Vita with the clear case on plus 3 of the game cases (just managed to fit the third case).
If you store them in a game case like this then you could probably stick a small sticker near it as a label.
I have 3 16GBs and a 4GB card so my method is to just try and remember what's on them, and swap until I get the right one
Guess you have the original camera. I use this:

You can put it right on top of your tv. :D
Just a heads up with buying refurbished vitas:
I've purchased three refurbished vitas- one for myself and two as gifts from Amazon.
Vita #1 came with a 32 GB Memory Card + Burnout Paradise inside of it.
Vita #2 came with a 4 GB Memory Card
Vita #3 also came with a 4 GB Memory Card, and it also came with a custom L and R trigger grip, which I highly recommend if you have larger hands. https://www.amazon.com/Vita-2000-Trigger-Grip-Sony-PSP/dp/B00JYE8L9K
If you're patient, you can get the vita sans any memory cards / accessories and see if it comes with anything neat. On every order I told the seller that it came with extra stuff, but they never cared and told me to keep it.
I probably won't go with grips for a while. I game on the go quite a bit, don't do many long sessions on my mobiles, and like having it be small (well... I did buy a 3DS XL though... so "small" is relative)
If I look, what ones do you have/recommend? Most I've looked at look kind of shit.
(On a related note, the trigger grip for Vita2000 from PDP looks comfy. Hopefully I can find one like it for PSP)
I love my vita, I prefer to play most indies on it either natively or through remote play. Also the PSOne library is pretty great especially for old-school RPGs. Of course PS+ is a must.
If you end up buying one look into getting grips for it. My only complaint was that it's awkward holding the console for long periods of time with out any handgrips (I have really big hands). I bought these and it made a world of difference.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JYE8L9K/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_at_ws_us?ie=UTF8
This is a more expensive option but I bought this, it has served me well and it's a perfect fit.

I got this solely for the case. I'm trying to get rid of the other stuff, but no one wants it.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Elite-Pack-Protective-Starter-PlayStation/dp/B00L6AVNE0/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1451439900&sr=1-1&keywords=elite+pack+vita
I got this Hori bundle for my Vita a while back, and I love it so far: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L6AVNE0/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1453765743&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=ps+vita+hori+case&dpPl=1&dpID=51PqIB4QuoL&ref=plSrch
But holy cow, it did NOT cost this much when I bought it. I think it was in the $20 range when I bought it. I can't attest for any other cases, but I really like the hard pouch this bundle came with.
You can purchase it by itself here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00F34B6JW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1453765792&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=ps+vita+hori+case&dpPl=1&dpID=51VDNXHbqhL&ref=plSrch
I don't know if it will fit in your pocket, but the case itself only fits the vita, so I thought it wasn't bulky.
http://amzn.com/B00L6AVNE0
This is a fairly high quality clear protective shell and comes with a carrying case as well. I haven't seen any individual protective shells being sold by Hori in America, but they have two different clear protective shell styles being sold in Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong as far as I know, if you're willing to import.
http://www.play-asia.com/protection-frame-for-ps-vita-pch-2000-clear-paOS-13-49-en-70-723x.html Just the frame, same as the one that comes in the Americas region Hori Elite Pack Starter Kit

What are people's thoughts of quality on this product and is it a pouch or a zipped case thanks. http://www.amazon.com/Tomee-Vita-Protective-Carrying-Pouch-playstation/dp/B00LHTR87G
I don't think so, but they do make TV cables for the PSP.
http://www.amazon.com/PSP-Component-AV-Cable-Sony/dp/B000VIPJ0W
http://www.amazon.com/PSP-Composite-AV-Cable-Sony/dp/B000VIUNZI
the original PSP could also be played on the TV, just need a cable for it.
Not if you have a PSP 1000.
If you have a PSP 2000 or 3000, you can use the official component cables.
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Computer-Entertainment-PSP-2000-Cable-PlayStation/dp/B000VIPJ0W
If you have a PSP Go you will need a different set of component cables.
http://www.amazon.com/PSPgo-Component-AV-Cable-Sony-PSP/dp/B002LH4UB0
You get the added bonus of being able to use the PS3 controller for a more "console like" experience.
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-play-yout-PSP-Go-with-a-PS3-controller/
Do note that video out preserves the aspect ratio and resolution of the PSP and will cause significant black bars on screen. I deal with it fine, but it turns off quite a few people. This can be stretched if your TV supports it.

I have a set that I bought from amazon for $10, and I use them frequently. I would not have paid $25 for them, but I do like them enough that I still use them to this day. Purely for video playback though, not games. definitely makes UMDs look better.
https://www.amazon.com/PSPgo-Cradle-Sony-PSP/dp/B002EQE58Q
You consider Overclocking Revolutionary ? just curious
Just a heads up to anyone looking to do this; I purchased
these from Amazon and had to shave the hole a bit to have it less wobbly since it does not sit flush. Some reviews stated that it worked well with theirs while some reported that it wobbled a bit.
I researched further and found a few people state that Insten PSP 1000 sticks do indeed work, but it may not be the case with every 3DS; I have purchased a 3 pack of Insten PSP 1000 sticks, but while I wait for them to arrive I make due with the wobble. TBH, even with a small wobble it is still way better than the nub.
The stick itself doesnt seem wobbly only the plastic cover that you actually touch. this part:http://www.amazon.com/Analog-Joystick-Stick-Button-PSP-Sony/dp/B005IF00ZM i can lift the cap up a little bit or have it at an angle. Having it at an angle is what makes it catch. This PSP is as old as a psp 2000 can be. It was my friends before mine.
Also keep in mind that you can buy a PSP cap to replace the c-stick :)
I just got one and installed it. Have yet to play any games with it, but at least just scrolling through the main menu is a lot more comfortable with the new cap.
These are the ones that I was recommended as being pretty good:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005IF00ZM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also recommend the PSP replacement. I was also nervous to do it, but it was surprisingly effortless and natural. I bought these caps and they fit in flawlessly like they were designed for it.
Looking at [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Insten-Analog-Joystick-Compatible-Sony-PSP/dp/B006STL2UY), it looks like the back is nearly the same. It might work the same, but I'm not sure, as I've never seen it in person, so I don't know the size or anything.
If you have or plan on having a physical cart collection, I'd recommend the PDP Pull N Go Folio. It can sometimes be hard to find and tends to be a tad pricey when you do, but it's versatile.
For a digital collection, Hori made a wonderful God Eater 2: Rage Burst flip hard case, but it's crazy expensive (a bit cheaper on nippon-yassan).
This is what I have and it's the best. Sorry it's sold out here. I think I picked mine up at Gamestop way back when P4G came out.
​
https://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Pull-Folio-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JTY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416471327&sr=8-1&keywords=pdp+vita+folio
PDP Pull 'N Go Folio because the included PS Vita case itself has slots for the analog sticks to slide in and four slots for games on the front of the pocket. Functionality > aesthetics when it comes to cases imo. It's a shame it's unavailable right now though...
I use the Pull 'N Go Folio, mostly just the smaller case. Only take the big one if I am travelling and need the cables or more physical games. I pretty much always keep it in the little case when not in use. Other than that I just have a screen protector on it.
Amazon Link
I didn't pay nearly that much for it though, 20 bucks tops but that was 2+ years ago.
Here's a link to the case from Amazon, though its far more expensive, for whatever reason.

Any good carrying cases like this one? Preferably with the removable pouch.
That's wicked cool! I think I might jump for that one. I was originally gonna go for this because it had triggers (https://www.amazon.com/PDP-PSVita-Trigger-Grips/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483762584&sr=8-1&keywords=vita+trigger) but I think I'm gonna go with that one. Thanks for the help!

Is this what you're looking for? I bought my original vita off eBay years ago and it came with one like this but mine has no label or markings to indicate a brand or model. I've actually never played my vita without it. It seems weird at first but I feel like it's much more normal feeling and feels more like a controller to me.
Makes me wonder after finding these, if anyone here has used them? http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=pd_bxgy_sw_text_y
Holding the Vita isn't the most comfortable thing for me and these look like they might be a good solution.
Screw it for 6 bucks its worth a shot.
I saw this one, mixed reviews though https://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW
I got a vita the other day for Destiny. Absolutely worth the purchase. If you are looking for a good grip to go with the vita, check this one out. I ordered one and will be trying it out tomorrow. I have heard very good reviews about it. Also, in order to get mine to connect I had to update some of the ports in my router for the PS4. You can find the guide here. You just find your router on that page and then follow the instructions. Very simple.
It's not grippy, unfortunately. It doesn't feel bulky to me, but maybe it does to you. If you want something with better grip, I suggest looking into something that has triggers: https://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=vita+trigger&qid=1566493161&s=gateway&sr=8-6
Why not get these: http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW/
just as good, I have them, feel great man.
I have the PDP trigger grip, and it's really nice :)
http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW
If you get one make sure to get these grips for it, so much more comfortable to play on.
I like it for light solo missions, bounty farming, etc. It is excellent for mobile casual play. I prefer to stick to my PS4 and dualshock for major missions (Nightfall, Weekly Heroic, VoG where things get really intense) and PVP.
How big are your hands?
Edit: Eh. I'll just throw the cheapest two grips I know of and have used. These grips are for the 1000 model.
PDP Trigger Grip is the only trigger grip that I know of that works well. Good for big hands and small hands. Medium hands... not so much.
CTA Grip is the best non trigger grip for your money. It does what the Nyko Grip does at a cheaper price and... that's all there is to it. It's a grip. The other alternative to this is the Japanese Assist Grip and the Nyko Vita Grip. Great for any size hands.
Have you tried the PDP Trigger Grip? I bought it and it's not very comfortable, so I've been thinking about the Nyko One.
I had some left over credit and ended up buying these grips for my Vita on a whim. I couldnt be more happy with them and notice that it makes longer gaming sessions much more comfortable. :)
http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331212743&sr=8-1-spell
This resolved my issue with the shoulder buttons.
Edit: fix link
I have these but I honestly have NO idea why they're so expensive on amazon haha.
I have heard that depending on which brand and production run you can get a wide variety on the quality of the Insten type grips.
I have the PDP grip (https://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW) too. It certainly holds the vita secure but over time I grew to like the trigger action less and less. I came to believe that the trigger action felt a tad sloppy and it didn't necessarily recognize each trigger pull. I tried using the Vita with and without the triggers during Killzone and I noticed I just performed better using the Vita's natural shoulder buttons. Still believe it come down to preference.
Possibly the only grip I haven't purchased is the one that adds buttons. I would love to try one of the Hori L2/R2 grips but they are so expensive ($80) I doubt I will ever get one.
I ended up snagging one of these guys and it works like a charm.
http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW
I got the PDP grip and totally recommend it. It's very hard to find and I only managed to get one off of eBay.
It adds just enough grip to the Vita to make it easier to hold for long periods of time but it's very thin and weights practically nothing. Very solid build, and fits perfectly (doesn't budge or anything). The grips are ok. Nothing outstanding, but work well and are pretty responsive.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with it. A pain in the ass to find one outside of the US, but other than that...
This is what i'm talking about:
http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW
I'm loving these 2 with remote play. Nothing i have found yet to add L2/R2 but these combined make a big difference especially when playing FPS.

Have you tested remote play over the internet yet? Some people don't realize the upload speed required. (at least 2mb/s upload is OK, 5mb/s is recommended i guess)
To run you press the down arrow ..
Otherwise - I use mine all the time.. and honestly the only issue is with aiming. The analog sticks are not nearly as good as the dualshock 4. I added a grip to mine shortly after I got it which helps and there are some analog grips you can try that might help.

I found these. They’re pretty good quality and nice design. But they used to be cheaper. Now it’s not really in stock. It is but for a higher price.

Here's one of the best:
PDP PSVita Trigger Grips https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_.BzRzbTEE6YW4
I don't think I've been gifted by you, but at this point I'm honestly not sure.
Assuming I haven't (and that its price is considered 'reasonable'), this Vita grip would be fantastic.
I wish that and this could make an amazing baby. That being said, the triggers on mine(the PDP) could use a little work.
Let me preface this by saying I'm not local as I live on the coast of NC so take it as you will.
I actually just got finished wiring my house with CAT5 and setup a server closet with an enterprise router/switch/firewall/AP. Fist and foremost for experience as I'm going for Cisco certs currently. Now I really need a server or two to interface with within the network and looking for options because most of my budget has been blown.
I have a Vita that I was just thinking the other day that I needed to sell as I barley even game on the PC anymore. It's a first gen but the OLED is sooo much better looking than the LCD. I was planning on selling it along with my account so I could transfer over the 25+ PS+ games I've acquired on it. It has a 32GB card and I have a soft padded carrying case for it along with this trigger grip. I also have a $20 PSN card I'll throw in too but you'll probably need to use $10 of it to reactivate the PS+ membership as it's currently expired.
If you're interested, lmk so I can list off all the games I've purchased along with the PS+ ones. Sadly everything is linked to my account as it's all been digitally purchased outside the physical copy of Killzone Mercenary.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in these. It feels waaaaaaaay better to play with trigger grips!
Here's the same trigger case on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072A4JVW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That's for the OLED version, I believe they make a version for the Slim as well.
It doesn't have the extra battery life, but it turns the shoulder buttons into triggers and the price is right.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0072A4JVW/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1499604849&sr=8-8&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=vita+pdp&dpPl=1&dpID=41RyBWJ40AL&ref=plSrch
I use this. I think i got mine for about $29.99 usd. Much more comfortable to play. Also added some thumb stick extenders.
It's actually funny, as I had bought one when they first launched. Played the Uncharted game... and that was about it. Well, until Destiny that is. I've logged a ton of hours of Destiny on my Vita. My girlfriend isn't to fond of gaming, and me sitting in front of the TV in another room all night. So I usually will end my night running strikes or farming for materials laying in bed while shes watching some reality shows or something lol. Totally worth it. Although, you will want to get one of these for it. hope this helps. (make sure you buy the right set of triggers for your model. This link is to the ones for the original PS VITA.

That's the exact one I have but I didn't pay $50 for it. I don't know why it's listed at such a high price now. I paid like $20 for it.
Congrats! Vita is a great machine with a HUGE catalog.
I like this case and this card holder, which fits nicely inside.
I have the Butterfox case and really like it. However, I use the Nyko Power Grips, which won't allow me to close the case. So, I bought the Amazon Basics Case, which works perfectly for my needs. Because the Amazon case is not made for the Vita, you will need to carry game-protecting case (e.g., this one) if you want to carry multiple cartridges with you.
There's a few different ones on Amazon that are pretty cheap.
There are a few others but I think these are probably the better ones. Hope you find what you're looking for!
You can get two similar for $15 less:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007H4YXJG/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_HaDVub0P0ZQAM
Or this one:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007AJZ5PY/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_3cDVub14P45JT
For what it's worth, I have that case. I find it serviceable, but I also find it difficult to get the system out of the case if I strap it in with both elastics. While it's not a hard-shell, it is pretty rigid. I've accidentally dropped mine with the Vita in it a couple times, and my system has suffered no ill effects. Because of this, however, I did end up getting a separate hard case for my games, which fits inside the top section fairly well. When I dropped the case, all the games in the slots bounced out, and the next time I opened it I had to pick up the cards off the floor. After the second time, I bought the hard case.

I picked this up off amazon just before Xmas. The memory card slot are actually removable inserts so you can take them out for a total storage space of ten games.
I really like it. It shuts down tight so you don't have to worry about it coming undone even with a bit of rough handling and its pretty streamline.
Would this work?

Hey thanks for the response and maybe you can help me answer this question. This item https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007WPM8WO/ref=sxbs_sxwds-stvp_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1519896990&sr=1&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=2972398022&pd_rd_wg=kw1Jy&pf_rd_r=5DETH37BDTNCTWMZ6M1M&pf_rd_s=mobile-sx-bottom-slot&pf_rd_t=9701&pd_rd_i=B007WPM8WO&pd_rd_w=NjInq&pf_rd_i=ps+vita+charger&pd_rd_r=70f7dd9a-ecf5-4345-9c4d-6c77852b6673&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65
It’s the 3 piece set that comes with the orginal vita. You think it’s better to have this 3 piece set or just the usb cable to connect to a regular phone USB adapter.
I'm pretty sure this is the one I have: https://www.amazon.ca/HDE-Charge-Data-Cable-compatible/dp/B009E8VYPY
I bought an HDE branded usb cable and it has worked perfectly for my wife and I's psp go's.

Did you purchase one that was fulfilled by Amazon? Almost all of the ones available on Amazon.ca are fulfilled by Chinese sellers and ship from China (which takes 20+ business days to ship). Since my last one was lost in the mail I'm considering spending a bit more and getting this one since it's fulfilled through Amazon and I won't have to wait forever (and it probably won't get lost in the mail). I can always use the extra Microsd card for my tablet.
That micro sd card comes with an adapter for sd cards. You want an adapter for memory stick pro duo cards. Something like https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00EJWVNLK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I picked up these from Gamestop when I bought the Vita: http://www.amazon.com/Vita-2000-Trigger-Grip-Sony-PSP/dp/B00JYE8L9K
It's actually a really nice product so far. It's soft to the touch, but thick and rigid enough to hold the Vita tightly. The triggers aren't as smooth as I'd like (due to just pressing down the existing L/R buttons), but nothing game breaking so far. It's easy to attach and remove. I would recommend it for someone looking for grips.
http://www.amazon.com/Vita-2000-Trigger-Grip-Sony-PSP/dp/B00JYE8L9K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1459294604&sr=8-2&keywords=ps+vita+grip
So my few suggestions:
-Case: Depending on your needs (travel, storage, etc.) you might want to invest in a case to hold your VITA. I have a case like this I use for my day to day. I also have a hard case I use for long distance travelling.
-Grip: Depending on your hands and what you're playing, the VITA can get uncomfortable after extended play. You can order these grips or other longer handle grips.
That's it from me. Maybe others will have other suggestions.
Here is the one I own.

Its pretty comfortable but I might start looking for something with a larger grip. Definitely better than not using it
Does it look like this?

Looks like that would help me tell where my fingers are. I mostly play PS1 classic rpgs and stuff but been thinking about picking up Freedom Wars and a couple other newer games that I think require L2/R2.
I have fat hands not long hands, and I have the PDP trigger grips
http://www.amazon.com/Vita-2000-Trigger-Grip-Sony-PSP/dp/B00JYE8L9K/ref=pd_sim_63_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41selrRKObL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1NBM1JBT8G0S4BP1XXTS
They work great when I am using the D-pad but, they get uncomfortable when I use the analog sticks. I take the grips off to play games with the sticks.
As for portability, any grip you have is going to make it so your vita cant fit in your pocket. I dunno if you keep your Vita in your bag or somewhere else, but for the sake of argument I think the PDP trigger grips are the smallest of the trigger grips I've seen.
it started to make my hands hurt really bad after playing it for hours on end. so I got the grip and admittedly its not the best one and the left side kind of slips after about a couple of weeks of use but its worked as a decent placeholder until I get a nicer one. Here's the one I have They have them at most gamestops too for fairly cheap (for what you're getting)
I have the grip with triggers. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JYE8L9K/ref=pd_aw_sim_63_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41selrRKObL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL100_SR100%2C100_&refRID=07MP76Z2VC1HSEJPFY1K I don't usually feel like my hand cramps up like when I play my original 3ds.
Thats fucking crazy, this was like $39 Canadian (So like $3.00 US) maybe 2 months ago. I cant find an original Sony charge/data cable for less than $40 on Amazon right now. Bull Shit. Anyway I have one of these OffBrand, like the PDP (https://amzn.com/B00JYE8L9K) I got for like $10 or so off Amazon about a year ago, its decent quality, no scratching.
Just curious, what's a TPU case? If it's just a rubber case then this is really good and comes with the best screen protector out there. For $5 more you can get the carrying case bundle on amazon
There are clear vita protective cases. i got a white assassins creed vita and didnt want to cover it up. So that's what I got.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Elite-Pack-Protective-Starter-PlayStation/dp/B00L6AVNE0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1411443763&sr=8-2&keywords=clear+vita+case
this is a good deal here. You get a screen protector *HORI is the best when it comes to them. You get the clear protective case and a carrying case (when traveling, putting your vita in your pocket is an easy way to crack your screen.
If you have one of these things already though, there are plenty of different brands of clear vita cases. You can't go wrong.
I bought the Hori Starter pack that comes with a case, screen protector and plastic cover thing and I then purchased a skin from ebay. I bought two from that one but there's a lot of different kinds on there for $5 to $10 cheaper than what you'd get from decalgirl and other places.

I really like this set. The case is nice, simple and compact. It comes with a plastic cover to put over your Vita and it has a screen protector. I'd just add a second screen protector to the back touch pad, that thing scratches like hell (just buy a cheap ass screen protector and cut it to the shape of the back touch screen).
The only downside is that there's no pouch for games.
We were talking about protective cases. The one I have on my Vita looks the same as that image that I posted.

I'll prob order this with my vita in 2 weeks. Seems nice.
Well, out of your choices, I have both and would recommend neither. The pdp trigger grips have a very plastic feel and sound when clicking the triggers. Annoyed me day one, came off day two. The dreamgear comfort grips do not really give justice in pictures as to how large the back humps (bottom of vita in the back) are on that thing. They are massive and very rounded. Your Vita will not lay flat at all once you put it down, it will actually rock back and forth. I have bought all the grips for both the 1000 and slim model vita's. For the 1000 model I recommend this: Aweek® Bracket Handgrip Handle Grip Case for Playstation Vita 1000 PSVita PS Vita - Blue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MB53DQ0/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_1w8QybWSHQJJ8
For a slim model I gave up on trying to find a good grip as I always just return to a silicone case for it. Recommendation here: HORI Silicone Protector and Screen Filter Set for PlayStation Vita 2000 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L6AVPLQ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_hA8Qyb7K16E0C
Good luck in finding the right one for you!

Insten PSP Battery
EDIT: Fixed the malformed link.
Here's the battery that I bought from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Rechargeable-Replacement-Compatible-Sony-PSP-PSP-2001/dp/B00QGTUILU/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=psp+3000+battery&qid=1571427796&s=videogames&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzOVBYMDk5WDZITFJUJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDMyMTU5M1VSOFBYRkw4OE05UCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDMyOTg3M0FDTTlFT1dNSlVKVSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
Has anyone used this specific listing for PSP analog nubs for the C-stick replacement? I assume it'll be fine but I figure I'll ask just to be sure: HUELE 6 Pack...
Figure I might as well go with the PSP stick over the thinkpad cap since I have an old PSP1000 with no nub, lol.
This has been done a few times, what's new?
https://www.amazon.com/Woojer-Vest-Pro-Location-Specific-Built-Experience/dp/B07Q6VJLWF/
I have 2 of those and they're great. Price on Amazon isn't the same as it was before though, so I use one of these too now. http://www.amazon.com/Nyko-Game-Case-Vita-Sony-PS/dp/B007AJZ5PY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419310272&sr=8-1&keywords=vita+game+case

Get rid of that nub. It's EXTREMELY worth it. You can also customize your bottom screen so you won't need to have that d-pad there. Here's a link to the cap you would need in case you take my advice
