      PSP has native PS1 emulator because PSP was selling digital ps1 games back then.
      So PSP is basically built for PS1 games on a hardware level.

      How did so many people get tricked into thinking the PS1 capabilities of a PSP are not emulation

        PSP was really ahead of its time. Chinkhelds were still in the garbage bin famiclone phase so PSP didn't really have any real competition, it was THE emulator handheld in the early to late 2000s. The only other handheld that could emulate PS1 back then was GP2X and its PS1 emulator was nowhere near as good as POPS

          Absolutely not you revisionist dipshit. The psp wasn’t even around till 2005 that’s not early 2000’s. THE handheld emulator of the early 2000’s was the GP32. It was the first “homebrew handheld” that was made specifically for hombrew and emulation. It had a huge scene in the early 2000’s with hundreds of games and even some game engines written for it. It also had commercial releases too. You probably don’t remember cause you were too young to into coding homebrew and the underground scene. Everybody who was into hacking and coding knew about it, if you were into emulators you probably knew about it. Just cause they didn’t sell it at wall mart doesn’t mean it didn’t have a huge impact on handheld the emulation scene today. It literally started the space race of handheld emulation and was a top contender through the many iterations of the gamepark company until the pyra and gpd win started to gain traction. But I doubt you know an iota of what I’m talking about because you probably just puppet YouTubers opinions.

I beat a bunch of games and got into Pokemon for the first time. Way more people had a hacked PSP than a GP32. The PSP was better and more popular. It had a bigger influence in portable emulation and hacking consoles.

              Absolutely not. It took off where gamepark left off for sure I'm not gonna deny the psp it's legacy of homebrew and emulation but you're just wrong. The gp32 still has more homebrew stuff than the psp. It was a huge influence to handheld homebrew/emulation. It was around 4 years before the psp and in that time it influenced many people and companies. It's way more important than the psp. why are you so fricking stupid, why can't you understand this?

Lots of those people got into hacking and emulation because of the gp32. It was the first handheld to be built around homebrew, it still has one of the largest homebrew libraries of all handheld device. It never failed it got multiple revisions up into the early 2010's. Youre just not actually in the homebrew scene, homosexual. You're a surface feeder leeching off of those who actually hack things and put in the work.

                Do you think 30,000 Koreans bought it just to develop software on it? The PSP was exposed to more developers and developers-to-be GLOBALLY than the GP32 and that is a fact. The skilled programmers are here in the West, not in fricking Korea: they have a handful of tech companies with zero startups and zero hacker culture. The most renowned Korean software is Samsung's UI for Android.

                I already stated the psp took off where the gp32 left off. My whole point was from idiot claiming psp was THE emulation machine of the early 2000s and that's just not true. The gp32 was extremely important for kick-starting the whole handheld emulation and homebrew scene. Like I already said as well, the gp32 still to this day has one of the largest homebrew libraries. You cant deny it's influence and major hombrew scene. You just weren't around back then, please stop trying to revise history from the point of view as a consumer and not somebody who was actually participating in the homebrew scene. You're trying to downplay the importance of the gp32 because you are ignorant of what perspired in those days of early handheld homebrew and I'm not gonna just let you Wikipedia historians YouTubeify reality.

Everybody had to import their console from liksang.com(Alibaba before Alibaba) or try and get one on ebay. The homebrew scene is small. The same people are in most other console homebrew scenes. The gp32 was on everybody's radar who was into hacking and homebrew. These people, who bring you the emulators and softmods you freely enjoy, they loved the gp32 and lots of them got into homebrew because of the gp32. You're shitting on the legacy of emulation you now stand on. How fricking more moronic can you get?

The average consumer doesn't hack or make homebrew for consoles. The influence of the gp32 isn't on the average consumer it's on the actual coders and hackers who got there hands on a gp32 way before the psp even came out.

                Do you think there's even a homebrew scene without coders? Wtf does the amount of units sold have to do with homebrew for consoles from the 2000s? It's a completely different game, billions more people in the world and the world is much more connected. The only people who were hacking consoles back then were into weird obscure shit like the gp32. There was not hundreds of YouTubers and redditors spewing anything retro videogame related. In the 2000s it was common for the average videogamer to think retro games were dumb and it was cool to only play the newest games and consoles. It was only because things like the gp32 did the idea of handheld emulation machines even hit the mainstream. People who owned a psp in 2007 didn't know or care about homebrew. Which brings me to another point. The original psp mods so you could even run homebrew involved soldering the battery, this didn't change for some time.

The psp did take off where the gp32 left off, it wasn't the only console on the homebrew scene. The psp,ds and GBA were huge consoles that also had homebrew scenes, but there was the whole gp32(gamepark) line of handheld emulation machines that pushed the way for all emulation machines. Gp32, gp2x, canooo, dingoo... All the way up until the pyra and the gpd win. Of course you probably don't know any of this you only benefit from this arduous homebrew journey.

I don't care about your homosexual scene that achieved nothing. The PSP was the catalyst that refueled my love of old games. Every personal attack you tried has failed because the only way you can argue about the relevance of your irrelevant console is to create a character that doesn't exists.

I understand the psp has become an impressive emulation machine, that was not the case in the 2000s, that didn't happen until the 2010s. Emulation in the 2000s was rough, except for the nes. Most people didn't even know what the frick it was and it was also hard to find roms compared to today.

        I know the deck is bigger than a switch which is already massive, not really ideal for pick up and play stuff.

        What does PSP have over them? I don't get it.
        Judging by the other posts in the thread it seems llke you will call me a Vita shill for not understanding but I've never owned either and I'm genuinely curious.

        Honestly the GPD handhelds look like it would be more comfortable but I'm unwilling to spend that much money on Chinese products because it'll probably crumble the moment I pick it up.

              not anymore. PSP is good but with SteamDeck you can buy just for 400$ and fill it up with literally ALL GAMES there is no point to have any other handheld if you want emulators

              I'm playing handhelds only and my regular consoles collecting dust.

              PSP is great and i have THREE of them (first one then psp 3000 and the special edition one) but Steam Deck literally cancels all other consoles except 2 screen ones (DS/3DS) because you can't imitate that naturally.
              You get used to huge size really quickly. I don't mind the size of deck at all now.
              And fricking god it's so amazing to have literally all games.

        No thats ps vita. As a hacked console, its PSP 2.0 and without losing the benefit of being an actual portable console. Switch and Deck are handhelds, but they are very far from being actual portables, which is what a handheld console should be also about

        The deck is too big. My choice for gaming on the go is either a 3ds for Nintendo games or a Psvita for psp/psx games. The ps vita I find to be a better emulation machine than something like the 3ds but the 3ds does have a much better Gba emulator. Maybe in the future the switch will become a good machine for /vr/ on the go but the lack of native backward compatibility does hinder it a little and the switch's game library isn't retro so I can't mention that.

        Back when I had mine, I think I played Jet Moto 2 and Resident Evil 3 on it and was turned off by improper L2/R2 support so I gave up. Mainly used my PSP for Minis, NeoGeo, and PC Engine classics from the store cause they were small and I could add several to my 1GB memory stick.

        I'm saving up for one of these actually but because I have a few games I'd like to play on the go like Fire Pro Wrestling World, MGSV, and soon Street Fighter 6.

        The battery mod and better resolution/aspect ratio is the only reason to get a psp. The Vita stretches the psps resolution when emulating it.

        The Vita benefits from being able to do the exact same quasi-native PS1 playback that the PSP does thanks to sharing the same CPU between those consoles, using the same backwards compatibility method that the PS2 uses. It's why I use my PSTV for PS1 games more than my actual PS1 now, it's a great way to get them running on an HDTV without any hitches.

                Btw PSP games on the Vita are crisp clear because it uses integer scaling by default.
                PS1 games are scaled depending on their resolution, and you can disable scaling altogether.

                Yes, it does. No TV out on the Vita, and some apps/homebrews/plugins/manuals may not work but all the official PSP games work on the Vita exactly the same as on the PSP, DLC included.

            I tried selling my psp at Game but the woman there put a game in and it took a while to load the UMD and she went all "can't buy it! Doesn't read the discs right" so I kept it.

              Kek. I traded a N64, no cables, games or controllers and I was unsure if it even worked to some random chick on Craigslist for a PSP and games back in the late 00's or so. Had dog bite marks, did not like to read umd discs and generally was trash. Took it to Gamestop the next day and traded it for a used but like new PSP 2k, MHFU and Viewtiful Joe. Dunno how I got so lucky with the trade, but I appreciate the dude letting me blatantly cheat the system like that.

If only Sony had realised to lean into the emulation market subtly instead of throwing fits about their memory cards and firmware they would've probably sold more of those things.

    My psp needs a new battery to get up and running again but the screens scratched to shit..
    Maybe I'll get a psp go and relive the psp days on that.

    What's the best model of a PSP?

    • 10 months ago

      2k or 3k is fine
      1k has half the ram and less homebrew compatibility as a result. also a really shitty screen
      Go is fine if you can make do with 16gb of internal storage as those micro pro duo cards are a b***h to find

        dont they all use the hard to find cards

          Sort of but not really. The 1/2/3K are designed to use Memory Stick Pro Duo, but micro SD adapters for them are cheap as hell so it doesn't matter.

          The Go uses Memory Stick Micro, which has no adapter and you can barely even find them in 16gb, let alone 32gb.

            >psp go
            >no adapter
            They exist but they're uncommon since you have to cut the plastic inside the go to fit them in. They're more similar to Vita 3G slot sd card adapter

              Why hasn't this adapter been cloned yet? I really want a couple of these so bad.

              Good that there's an option then. Hopefully it's easier for people to install a PSVSD, I bought one for my 3G vita and wound up stripping all the screws holding the modem in and ended up having to cut it out. The mess of fiberglass shards and conductive PCB materials that made all over my Vita's guts was about as pretty as it was to clean up, but it hasn't blown up yet.

                Man, I just want a Vita memory card that does not cost a frickton or take up my game card slot, since I own way too many Vita games.

    I was thinking of getting a PSP Go to use kinda like a "hybrid" PS1, set it up on my CRT and take it on the go when I need it.
    I thought about getting one from Japan but these things are apparently super expensive. Why is that? It's actually way cheaper to just look for one locally.

    there's some corrosion on the plastic film on my PSP Street's screen. Replacement faceplates aren't manufactured because the circuits for the Start, Select, etc buttons are on the faceplate themselves. When cleaning the thing out years ago I also lost the membrane for the d-pad and a 3000 series d-pad membrane doesn't fit.

    What do?

    How do I prevent DuckStation from automatically creating a moronic "resume" save state whenever I alt+f4? Trust me, I've tried ALL the options. There simply is no way to disable this except by either 1) clicking power off without saving, or 2) enable confirm exit and deselect the save state box EVERY single time you want to quit a game.

    Psp could still be a daily driver media device if you could somehow connect to the modern web.

        Oh yes I am well aware, that's why it is so close to being viable.
        The SSL certs restricting the RSS feeds is the biggest drawback.

          i blame html5
          that's what actually killed psp's web capabilities, not ssl
          there is homebrew for java emulator which can run really quirky opera mini browser designed for old phones and that supports modern ssl, so you can still do https
          but issue is... modern web being html5 still gimps your ability

            The lack of memory really hinders it, having built in functions no longer work because of security is unfortunate.

        quite honestly. i tried playing persona 2 as psp ps1 eboot at first falling for whole "it's comfy to play long jrpg on portable device, especially if it's battery modded", but persona 2 is slow as shit, all animations take ages to play out, the animation for each battle start is not helping either. i cannot play that game without turbo button so i moved my save to phone instead

    if you're an old gay you should play steinsgate. its peak nostalgia. theres so many weird 2chan and 2010 pop culture junk in it. I totally remember all the junk about how CERN was gonna create a black hole with the LHC and all that bullshit. Fun times.

    I was pretty active on the old PSP hacking forums and did graphic work on a few shitty homebrew games. I can confirm that the GP32 was the big homebrew handheld before PSP and DS. I will also confirm the reason later handhelds didn't have a cool homebrew scene, just retroarch and piracy, is because a large part of the PSP scene saw dollar signs when the iphone came out and went into mobile coding.
