try reverting to the old version, check if the games are still on the drive of the system. You could also re download the games you had purchased if that's a thing that you could maybe possibly do.
Cj, under the Dpad buttons are little rubber bumpers. These act like springs and provide the "off" force when you don't press the buttons. I would suggest a Dpad rebuild/repair kit from Ebay or Amazon. I'll put in a quick link to hopefully steer you in the right direction. ^^

Depends on what you mean by adding music. If you want to just add music files then you can just get mini USB to USB cord and connect to your computer. You'll need to put your psp into USB mode first though. Once connected to your computer you can just drag and drop your files into your psp memory card. Thier should be a music file already created in the memory card. As for getting music from a provider like spotify then I'm sorry to say but that's not possible. You could try the radio app on the psp. I'm not sure if it is still working but it doesn't hurt to try.
1)Connect PSP to computer with USB supplied with PSP.
2)Now, press "home" button on PSP
3)Scroll down menu to option "setting" using right and left directional buttons
4)When you reach the option "USB Connection", press X button to indicate your selection
5)The "my computer" window will now show a removable drive
6)Double click on removable drive to open it. You will see a folder named "PSP" inside it.
7)Open the folder "PSP" and see whether there is a folder named "Music" inside it.
8)If you cannot see the folder named "Music", then create it inside the folder named "PSP." Make sure to name it "Music".
9)Now simply and paste the music files from hard disk to the "Music" folder, just the way you would transfer files from a CD to your hard disk.
10)Once you are done, press the "o" button on your PSP. PSP will exit from the USB connection. Now unplug PSP from the USB data cable. Now you can carry around your music collection and listen to your favourite tunes, whenever you want. Enjoy!
Dustin, this is happening because as a computer, the PSP and PS3 systems are very weak. For example; facebook runs flash videos, and they are constantly updating the flashplayer codex. However, SONY products will not allow you to update to the current Flashplayer because they are a third party participant. SONY believes if you can't watch it on their systems, than you shouldn't be watching it.(Personal opinion) My advice to you would be, for games and full movies, play them on your PSP. For online websites and social media, use a pc/mac/tablet. Hope this helps. Good luck.
Marco, It does sound however, that the battery took a **** at just the wrong time. It happens sometimes with no notice at all. Pull the battery and see if it's bulging in any way. The simple fix is to simply replace the battery. If this is the issue, it's fixed. If not, then you have a much bigger issue. With those generations of PSP's, the battery must maintain 3-5% charge to even turn on. You can't even update the firmware with out at least 20% in the battery! Frustrating, I know! ^^ Good luck, and I hope this helps.
Matthew, check your NAT type. For live games like GTA5, it needs to be set to "open" If it's type 2 then media is being sent, but blocked when coming in. Limited communication with the servers. It's usually caused by the wrong settings over a wireless connection. If you use a cat5 "hard wire" from your modem directly to your system, it should report back "open"
Hi, you need to test the memory stick to ascertain whether it is the size it purports to have.May memory sticks are hacked, small drives that are reflashed with different firmware in order to misreport their actual size in order that they can be sold for a gigher price to the consumer.This practice is , obviously, a type of fraud. The effects of the practice leads say an 8gb flash drive to report that it is 32gb, for example, and when you get beyond the point where the 8gb becomes full the drive starts to overwrite the data that has previously been stored. So to get 32gb of data you would overwrite everything 4 times, it would all be corrupt.In order to check that this is not the case on your flash drive download/ install and run H2TESTW on the flash drive. The latest version is 1.4 Good Luck
1. Launch EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard and select the file types you want to recover. Then click "Next" button to move to the next step.
2. Select the disk where you lost your data and click "Scan" button, the software will quickly scan the selected disk to find all your target files. If you lost your partition, select "Lost Disk Drives" and "Scan" to continue the recovery process.
3. After scan, you can preview all the listed recoverable files one by one and select out those you want. Then, click "Recover" button to get them back once. Here you should save all the recovered files on another disk to avoid data overwriting.
Finish all above 3 steps, and you will recover your data from PSP memory stick successfully.
It's actually quite easy to setup an account on the Playstation network (PSN) for the first time. You can setup your account using either your computer or your Playstation. Both will need to have internet access. Simply go to the link below if using your computer, and click on setup account. If using your Playstation, power on the console, without a game inside, scroll over to setup and connect your Playstation to your network. Once connected, scroll over to sign-in. You will be able to setup your account, such as user-name, password and demographics. Good luck.

If the apps were purchased, then connect to the PlayStation store, and redownload them. If you have already paid for them once, you won't be charged again.
#1 - If its a video that has an unsupported file format for the PSP, It will never play until you convert it to a supported format. For ex: the notebook.mkv, ironman.avi, etc... Look for free video converters for PSP on google, I'm pretty sure you will find one. Process is the same for music.
#2 - If its a downloaded game, you will need to flash your PSP console in order to play it (Research in google, you will find some useful information). Flashing enables all kinds of games (downloaded), Be WARNED, flashing can really hurt your system if you don't know what you are doing. It can even cause your system to be unusable.
