Hi my PSP 3001c is not keeping the date/time. Through googling I've learned that there is an internal battery that needs replacing like a CMOS battery on a standard computer motherboard. It is the "680-41 button cell battery". However I can't find this battery via google. I see LR41 in Walmart but don't know if it's the same thing. Anyone?

According to this Reddit comment, that "battery" is a supercapacitor for keeping time (similar to the Xbox's RTC capacitor - except this one doesn't blow up).

Unfortunately the part they linked to (EECEN0F204AK) is for the PSP fat motherboards (you can tell because the prongs stick out and are long) and no longer being made.

Looked around on Digikey for a similar looking part on the PSP 3000 motherboard and found the EEC-EN0F204J2. It has a similar (if not exact) tab design ("horns" and curves down with a window), has 3 dots on top, has the M and + symbol, same capacitance (200 mF) and voltage (3.3v), same ESR rating (200mOhm), and they're both made by Panasonic.

Unfortunately again, the new part is discontinued. And the substitute part for the fat motherboards is completely out of stock.

If you feel like being the guinea pig, go ahead and use one of the regular battery coin cells. However I can't guarantee it'll end well (could blow up?)

EDIT: Looking a bit more, I found a potential substitute part. The nice thing is it has higher capacitance than the regular one, but I don't know if this will cause an issue with the charge circuit (for the supercapacitor, not the battery). The main problem is it sits too high / takes up too much space.

Thanks for the replies. Yea seems like its a pretty complex issue since no basic google searches return anything. Guess I'll just experiment down the line and see what happens. When that time comes I'll post an update.

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
