Recently i've been noticing that when i push up in the thumb stick my character actually moves down, i've mainly been noticing this in Disgaea in the overloads castle where using the thumbstick is preferred for movement there
Now at first i thought that maybe the stick was wearing out cause it's a first gen PSP and i've never swapped it (the second one i got was for the purpose to play on the TVT, not a replacement) but thinking back evidence of that would be the character automatically moving up because i used to play a lot of Dissidia Final Fantasy
So i'm wondering what could be wrong with my thumb stick that it would make a character move down when i press up, what actually happens is that Lahal moves up but then stops and starts switching his facing front front to back and start slightly move downwards, if i move the stick slightly to the right he moves strait down and because of the thumb stick i can't down exactly the position of the stick

The problem might be an issue with calibration. Sometimes the stick sets the center of its movement range to somewhere other than the center due to getting worn out.
Try going to the Settings area of the PSP's main menu, then down to System Settings section, then to the System Information section, and on that screen, try rotating the stick along the very edge of it's available area a few times, and see if that helps .
