HDMI Cable for PSP 2000, PSP 3000 Handheld Console

Works great, playing PSP-3000 model on a 4k TV with ease. Video is upgraded with no noticeable lag and fits into the entire screen (make sure you have the PSP on the right setting, took me a bit to switch to P resolution rather than I, forgot that was a thing.) and the audio is perfect 1 to 1 and sounds great on a soundbar.

I do a lot of game playthrough videos for YouTube and Ive been using this HDMI cable alongside my Elgato capture card to record my PSP gaming footage. Its really amazing! Why did this never come out until fairly recently!? The picture quality isnt bad, but it does seem a little bit stretched to me alongside the black border even when the little switch is set to Game mode instead of Menu. Im not a fan of the black border. I do have to use video editing software to sharpen the quality, but hey, its a PSP. It was created a fairly long time ago. If it means I dont have to go through installing the somewhat shady RemoteJoyLite to do recordings, Im happy! When my LevelHike HDMI cord for PSP suddenly stopped producing sound a week ago, I contacted LevelHike right away and they sent me a new cord! I was impressed with the timing and customer service. The one year warranty makes things a lot easier for me! If I ever decide to record anything with PS2 or other retro gaming consoles, I think Ill purchase from LevelHike again!

It wont work with my PSP which turned out to be a1000, because the plug is reversed. This was a mistake on my part. So, I wont give the product a poor rating.

(Video Review for this posted on GamersXtreme.org, as the file size was too large) When the PSP entered the market back in Japan late 2004 and early 2005 in North America, it served as Sony’s first gaming handheld device that was set to compete with Nintendo’s handheld dominance. While it never sold near the numbers of Nintendo’s handheld, the device itself was still excellent and one worth owning. Throughout the years, the PSP received model revisions: the original PSP-1000, slim PSP-2000, slim and more vibrant LCD PSP-3000, and the all-digital PSP Go. When the PSP-2000 model released, all further models received a feature that let users output their PSPs to TVs to play their games on. There were composite and component cables released for them, but in our current technological standpoint, those inputs are becoming more difficult to find on TVs. The folks over at LevelHike have been on a mission to provide HDMI solutions for retro gaming consoles, and the PSP is one they put out recently. They kindly provided us a review unit so let’s give this a look. The PSP HDMI adapter is very simple to use. Simply plug the device into the AV out port of the PSP, plug the micro USB adapter into the device to power it up, and plug the HDMI cable from the device into the TV, and then go to the PSP’s display settings to output the device to the TV…and that’s it. Oh, and you can also just hold the display button on the PSP device itself for a few seconds to switch the output to your TV as well. You’ll notice the device itself has a Menu and Game toggle switch, which lets you basically change the aspect ratio to either keep its native output resolution, or fill the whole TV. Now, the device is not meant to upscale the visuals by any means, so jagged edges will be present and more noticeable than on the portable screen itself, but that’s no different than if you used the official Sony component or composite cables. Throughout my use of the device, everything worked really well. There was no noticeable lag at all, and visually everything appeared to look identical to the output the official Sony cables. Even audio is handled quite well and nothing sounded off or jarring by any means. Even during video capture, the visuals and audio were on-point. Now, the device retails for $29.99, which is reasonable for what it is intended to do. The ability to play PSP games on the TV (without a PlayStation TV device, which is fetching for a fairly high price currently) is always one that intrigued me since the PSP-2000 model released. Seeing that the PSP got this HDMI adapter is pretty great. Just remember, that if you only have the PSP-1000 model or PSP Go, this will not work. This is strictly for the PSP-2000 and 3000 models. I know this review is probably on the short side, but I really don’t have any gripes with it after testing it out the past few months. The build quality of the device is pretty solid, and it does exactly what it’s meant to do quite well. LevelHike may not be a popular known brand like Hyperkin or Pound, but this is the second unit we have reviewed of theirs (the Sega Saturn HDMI being the first) and I’m pleasantly surprised at the quality of the their product. Whether you want to play your PSP games on the TV, capture footage, or stream games, this is a must-have for any PSP enthusiast.

Product wasn’t necessarily defective, just did not output from the PSP. Their info card stated very promptly that if a “No Output” appeared on screen that you should contact their support for a warranty replacement. Something about that sketched me out and I did not want to proceed to give an unknown company my contact info over something there are alternatives for.

I love the video quality produced by the HDMI adapter. PSP component cables are pretty hard to find these days and my TV doesn’t support component.

This adapter is absolutely amazing! Its great to play my psp games in hd on my tv. This is a must buy for all gamers who own a psp. Its simple plug and play with a full screen option! Not many adapters have that from what I have seen.

I didn’t expect it to come with an HDMI cord too. Didn’t need it, but thanks. Between the HDMI, and the actual cable there is a ton of very necessary length that I didn’t get with component cables. Only thing that I’d change is to get the correct aspect ratio for the PSP. But do know, the aspect ratio it does display isn’t far off. I highly recommend this product.

Great product, customer service was great as our first cable did not work and we were sent a 2nd one with no issues. 2nd cable worked great.

Product works great!
