to be fair, the psp was a 2004 device and 5v 2a usb chargers weren't so common since most devices, especially phones, had proprietary ports.
You can just get a barrel plug -> usb cable to charge your psp via usb now though
Did yours turn to piss?
I don't know what the frick plastic the japs were using at the time, but so many japanese electronics have screens that will yellow over time with no way to reverse or fix it
yeah the 2000 has pretty bad ghosting if that's what you mean
the 3000 has an odd interlacing effect to compensate, and the 1000 is dim as shit.
You just can't have your cake and eat it too with the psp.
still a kino console though, I think my left index finger is permanently tilted from clawing kek

Literally this. It's the best controller driver. It's very lightweight and easy to use. Literally a skill issue at this point.

Holy shit what fricking year is this? Do anons really still download literal malware of DS4windows onto their computers? Seriously just use Steam Input. It's so good that when I buy some games of GoG and it doesn't recognize my DS4 controller that I just load it via Steam and it just werkz (Coldsteel 4 is a recent example).

we didn't have wifi so I walked autistically around the neighbourhood checking every few metres for a connection like with some schizo dowsing rod so I could google sex and download the pictures to jerk off at night
>checking every few metres for a connection like with some schizo dowsing rod
I was the degenerate kid downloading futa hentai using public library wifi
It was probably over http too so I KNOW someone was watching
the psp genuinely provided the sexual awakening for millions of boys

there were sites just dedicated to psp porn
>Its incredible how small they were making stuff back in the day.
That's because there was a distinction of what laptops and desktops were used for so people valued having something small that can fit in their pocket and use with one hand. Now you have morons that want their phone to be a portal music player and a full blown desktop experience so you get these mammoth phones that can't even fit in your pocket.
Phones are unironically the best way to play music because they can support high quality usb DACs and on android jamesDSP gives you desktop level parametric equalization.
I'll take that over a shitty mp3 player any day of the week. I say that owning several rockbox players
Yeah but are you carrying your DAC and amp around with you everywhere you go? I mean if you are just setting up your DAC on the commute just to listen to some high quality tunes then more power to you. But most audiophiles put importance into the sound stage which you're not going to get while in public where you use your mobile device.
>he doesn't know
usb-c dacs are tiny and even cheap $30 ones perform better than many desktop dacs
with a bit of EQ (which is why jamesdsp is important) a cheap (but good not pos) IEM will sound better than kilobuck headphones.
You probably don't lurk Ganker and missed out on the CCA CRA, a $15 iem that quite literally btfos headphones and iems costing around the 1000 usd range.
too bad they stopped making them.
Maybe if you only ever used shit dacs and not Schiit dacs and you're a poorgay worried about money. And the fact remains that in public where you use mobile devices is an objectively shitty sound stage to listen to music in so no matter how nice of a DAC you got. >but I use noise cancelling headphones and crank it up
Enjoy your tinnitus. If you aren't in public, then you use a real audio setup with a proper sound stage.

Listening to music in a crowded area with your nice dac is a shitty experience which is the only advantage having using a mobile phone affords you. That's all I am getting at. If you aren't in a crowded area, then you can just use your desktop/laptop with the same DAC you are sperging about.
>Phones are unironically the best way to play music because they can support high quality usb DACs [which can be used on any computer] and on android jamesDSP gives you [the same functionality you can use on any computer]
Based moron. Basically you're too poor to afford a computer and make due using your phone for everything. That's exactly why they don't make things small anymore like how that one anon was lamenting. There tons of 3rd worlders and zoomers that just don't have computers and use their phone for what people had used their computers for in the past.
>it's just a few screws anon. do it before it's too late
I do use mine regularly and keep charge between 20/80%
so i dont fear it so much
though i have no idea how previous owner treated it
and man I do not want to open it up.
>and man I do not want to open it up.
dude it's an almost decade old battery
it will absolutely destroy your device if you let it bloat in there
just fricking do it, you don't wanna know how much vitas and 3ds' go for now
>start using my precious hyrule N3DSXL that I preordered way back then >battery only lasts around 2 hours and dies suddenly >open it up >its starting to bloat
God FRICKING damn it
All these devices are cursed. In a few years the amount of older handhelds that are still in good condition will be close to zero.
As someone with dozens of handhelds I'm worried
Anons charge your devices to 80% and take the battery out on devices you're not using, especially the 3ds and vita.
A swollen vita battery will at the very least crack the back glass, if not wreck the entire device in general.
The best part is that you can't even boot the 3ds or vita without a functional battery.
With the PSP you could just run it off mains but that was too good for the goiym I guess
no >chink batteries >"refurb" units are using disgusting feeling chink shells and buttons >yellowing screens, especially on japanese units because it's so humid there >retroomers drove up prices
Do yourself a favor and just disregard handhelds at this point.
They all have good emulators now thankfully.
If the deck is too big there's tons of other devices but the 'eck does so much that it's worth dealing with the size
drove up prices
I hate this the most about old games, millennials are treating them as an "investment" now and prices have been shooting up ever since COVID.
At least PPSSPP is good enough that it'll play anything I would want it to.
let them hoard their rotting plastic
nature hates retroomers: >disk rot >NAND/NOR chips dying >leaky caps >bloating batteries >rubber bits melting >degrading screens
Unless you spend a significant amount of time maintaining these things, which most retroomers don't even know how to, it will all be dust in the end.
They will open up those "CIB" consoles that they paid thousnads for, only to find them absolutely destroyed by the spicy battery bomb the chinks cheekily threw inside.
I was going to buy a GBA AGS101 a few months back, but I'm so fricking tired of it all. The batteries, making sure it isn't a refurb with a shitty china shell, the cost, flash carts and their knockoffs etc etc.
Frick all that. I'll just use my 3DS even if the scaling sucks.
Who fricking cares, I just want to play the game. I would have pissed my pants in joy when I was a kid if you handed me a hacked 3ds with literally every pokemon game on it.
you need a phone with Memedragon and 999,999 Antutu scores for emulate PSP. And because phones are so diverse in sizes, that device not fit. And bluetooth grips are useless, they have crappy bluetooth.
if you care about using the hardware just fricking do the screen replacement mod
it looks 3x better
or just emulate the thing a cheap phone can fullspeed any game in its library
The whole point of using original hardware is the 1:1 pixel mapping
If you're gonna scale shit up just fricking emulate.
By the way, all the chinaman ips screens for the GBA have at least 1 frame of lag since they need a frame buffer for the scaling
>I didn't see anything interesting in its library but maybe I didn't search enough.
it's got one of the largest exclusive libraries of any console ever released. but you can emulate it anyway so just do that.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
kino…
One funny post days ago and now the ZOOMER homosexualS must repost it for yous and discord cred. Jannys delete this shit for God's sake.
this is the only way to make a psp thread these days you stupid homosexual
do i have to play the chink lottery to get a replacement battery anons? i was a dumb kid when i threw out my original one
Pretty much, I had a 3DS battery die on me so I bought a replacement thats absolute garbage.
Luckily my psp battery is still solid
Why in the frick are there trigger warnings in games but there was never a WARNING IN 20 YEARS THIS DEVICE WILL SELF DESTRUCT
the frick?
at least you can easily replace the battery
the vita on the other hand....
lets not even get into nintendo screen yellowing...
Sold my PSP years ago. Even back then I thought it was fricking weird those batteries would swell up like balloons. Never trusted it.
both of my SPs batteries are fine. NintenGODS stay winning
did it like 4 years ago. it was already too late.
Whoever made it so you have to turn it on before you can charge it via usb is a double Black person
to be fair, the psp was a 2004 device and 5v 2a usb chargers weren't so common since most devices, especially phones, had proprietary ports.
You can just get a barrel plug -> usb cable to charge your psp via usb now though
Holy frick, I checked mine and it is about ready to hatch
yeah mine exploded, I bought a replacement
then put that psp back in the box because the screen is shit
Did yours turn to piss?
I don't know what the frick plastic the japs were using at the time, but so many japanese electronics have screens that will yellow over time with no way to reverse or fix it
mine is like blueish, I compared with a psvita and it was so bad I just couldn't play it, it 's a model 2000 I think
yeah the 2000 has pretty bad ghosting if that's what you mean
the 3000 has an odd interlacing effect to compensate, and the 1000 is dim as shit.
You just can't have your cake and eat it too with the psp.
still a kino console though, I think my left index finger is permanently tilted from clawing kek
I was literally addicted to monster hunter and the nail on my index finger literally grows crooked I could sue capcom

sadly vita has unremovable bat
no it doesnt
you cant remove the battery of the vita without disassembling it.
Is it worth buying a PSP in 2024? Been wanting to play some old games and the Steam Deck is a bit too bulky for my taste.
Honestly id suggest just getting and modding a vita.
since it can emulate PSP.
no

Just emulate it.
do you have a smartphone? people don't realize how good a phone is at emulation.
you need a phone with Memedragon and 999,999 Antutu scores for emulate PSP. And because phones are so diverse in sizes, that device not fit. And bluetooth grips are useless, they have crappy bluetooth.
>that device not fit
frick off chang, no one is buying your chink handhelds
No, either emulate it on your phone (doesnt need much hardware tbh) or just get a Vita you can mod or that was already modded.
i actually checked mine because of these threads and it was bulging up like a rabbi at a maternity ward. could have caused a fire so thank you
take the board out and chuck it in the closest river
Kids at school laughed at me back in 2009 for getting this thing. Who's laughing now?
no u
Sold mine last year without saying anything about the swollen battery on the listing. The buyer either hasn't noticed or doesn't care.
I threw out both my PSP batteries 2 years back, they were definitely swollen, not cracked yet
Did you dump them in your local river? That's the correct disposal method for PSP batteries specifically.
>local river
>not going directly to the fountain head itself and dumping it
mine looks fine, altho it's a 1800mah not a 1200
I have six GBA SPs, and other than the screens having some light bleed in the edges they seem alright.
If I charge them every six months, the batteries will be fine right?
>If I charge them every six months, the batteries will be fine right?
no moron they're almost 2 decades old
>psp in the year of our lord 2024

I don't care if you continue to be a shitter. By all means, continue.
i'm pretty sure this has happened to my DS
it still works but the back is slightly bulging and there's sticky brown shit back there
FRICK FRICK FRICK WHAT DO I DO
eat the forbidden toffee
Why save it? The ghosting on all of the models was awful.
if you care about using the hardware just fricking do the screen replacement mod
it looks 3x better

How much longer does my lauch Vita have?
1ks seem to all have faulty GPUs that will die eventually so who knows
What happened to portable
handhelds bros?
And no, neither the Switch nor the Deck are portable.
My battery is fine because I still play DoA Paradise with my psp at least once a week.
>he's still playing PSP games on a PSP
You dinosaurs need to level up your gaming already.
>wasting money on that shit when PSP emulation has been running smoothly on fricking smartphones for years
emu chads are obsessed with getting emus to run on everything
its why later emulators still get backported to things like the wii and xbox
Now if it can emulate both 3ds and Vita, that would be pretty nice, though from what I know, Vita emulation is pretty much dead.
Its better than ever actually
Vita3k can play almost all remaining exclusives
Should I buy a PSP? I didn't see anything interesting in its library but maybe I didn't search enough.
>I didn't see anything interesting in its library but maybe I didn't search enough.
it's got one of the largest exclusive libraries of any console ever released. but you can emulate it anyway so just do that.
My psp was stolen 18 years ago
