At RecklessMods, we provide full, professional-grade PlayStation Portable (PSP) modding services, covering all models: PSP-1000, PSP-2000, PSP-3000, PSP Go, and PSP Street/E1000. Every system is handled with expert care, including free external cleaning and detailed status reporting.

Supported Models & Modding Types

We support every PSP model on nearly any firmware. We install Permanent or Temporary Custom Firmware (CFW) depending on your model:

• PSP-1000 and early PSP-2000 models – Fully permanent CFW possible (6.61 Infinity or earlier).

• Later PSP-2000, PSP-3000, PSP Go, and PSP Street/E1000 – Hybrid/Temporary CFW (6.61 PRO-C2, LME, or Infinity depending on firmware). Non-permanent CFW re-enables on boot with a single click or automatically with Infinity.

We’ll check your PSP’s motherboard and firmware to install the most stable, modern CFW automatically.

Included Software & Features

Every modded system comes pre-installed with:

• Latest Custom Firmware (PRO-C2, LME, or Infinity) – Permanent where supported, hybrid on others

• VSH Menu / Recovery Menu – Quick access to advanced settings

• ISO/CSO Loader – Run backups of your PSP games directly from the Memory Stick

• Homebrew Launcher – Play a wide range of PSP homebrew games and apps

• Emulators – Retro consoles supported via homebrew

• Optional Games & Emulation Setup (Extra $50) – We do our very best to add as many PSP, PS1, and retro games as your Memory Stick will allow, leaving some free space for future installs.

NAND Backup Policy:

• Free Software-Level Backup – During normal modding we back up your PSP’s IDStorage and NAND (where supported) via software. This is included at no extra cost and we provide a secure Google Drive link so you can download and store it.

• Hardware-Level Backup ($200+) – For bricked units or cases where a software dump isn’t possible, we offer a full hardware-level NAND backup. This involves disassembly, direct chip access, and specialized equipment. Only performed when necessary or upon request.

You will receive full directions on how to use everything properly.

Cleaning & Premium Services

Free External Cleaning – Every PSP we work on receives a complimentary outside cleaning for a polished look.

Premium Deep Cleaning ($50) – Complete inside-and-out cleaning:

• Full disassembly

• Dust removal from every part

• Buttons and triggers cleaned

• UMD drive cleaned (if present)

• All components inspected for wear/damage

• System reassembled and tested

Turnaround Times

• Same-Day Service – $75

• 1–2 Day Service – $50

• Standard Turnaround – Included at no extra cost

We inspect every system upon arrival. If we find additional issues, we’ll contact you immediately to discuss repair options or proceed with your requested service.

Disclaimer: While we strive to meet all advertised turnaround times, there may be situations where we are backed up or short-staffed. If you purchase the same-day or 1–2 day service, we will do our absolute best to complete your order within the selected timeframe, but delays may occur during high-volume periods. Additionally, if you request specific games or emulation packages that we do not already have prepared, or a hardware-level NAND backup, it may take additional time to complete your order. We appreciate your understanding.

• Customer Pays Shipping to Us – Unless your total service is over $120, then shipping both ways is free.

• We Pay Return Shipping – Always included, regardless of service level.

• Free Shipping Both Ways Over $120 – If your service total exceeds $120, we’ll cover the cost to send the system to us and back to you.
