I'm of the opinion that gen 7 will be the last generation that can ever become "retro". Gens 8 and 9 have been such a minimal change in comparison to previous generation transitions that there's nothing distinct about them to be specifically nostalgic for.
PBR isn't really 7th gen. it started with 7th gen but barely any 7th gen games actually had it. it came about with games like Crysis 3 at the very late end of the generation, a long generation. PBR is 8th gen to me.
THE 7th gen feature are global real-time shadows. COD 4, AC, GTA 4, Far Cry 2. the 7th gen look is basically 6th gen + higher res + bad motion blur and depth of field + real-time shadows that are either aliased or noisy or both. honorary mention: the Unreal Engine 3 bloom that almost doubles as a depth of field effect it makes everything so blurry and smeary.
the sun has to move in every open world game. night time has to look like dog shit because the most expensive feature barely pays off at night etc.
then there's the late 7th gen look that adds primitive ambient occlusion (thick dark lines in every corner) and lots of light sources thanks to deferred shading.
once you add PBR to this package it starts to look 8th gen right away. you'd have to really cripple the resolution to make a PBR game feel 7th gen.
I disagree
Gen 6 (and by extension later systems with similar capabilities like the PSP, 3DS, Wii) are the last ones. As you say 8th gen and 9th gen are largely just extensions of the 7th. Nothing radically different.
For me, for something to be retro it has to be old and very different from what we experience today. Maybe one day when gaming becomes VR-only 7th gen HD systems will be retro.
The early 7th gen is markedly different from the late 7th gen. Even though GTA IV and GTA V are both in the "HD universe" GTA IV feels much more dated.
Gen 7 I can admit is retro, and has its charms. But I personally dislike it more than I don't, since it sowed the seeds that would become the shit we have now actively ruining games and game culture. Also Japanese devs really had a hard fricking time this gen, and tried every trick in the book to be relevant in the west to no avail, which ruined the perception of Japanese games for years.
Well gen 8 generally had better graphics thanks to good art direction and smart lighting conditions. It also generalized VR games and casual streaming so it also has that going for it.
Maybe gen 9 will be remembered for its controllers and next to no loading times. The dualsense is genuinely a very immersive and the series one is the best xbox controller that Microsoft has put out.
I do feel that gen 9 will be more infamous than the rest, being defined by live service slop just how gen 7 had the middle eastern, brown and yellow filter shooter.

Even Gen 6 doesn't register as proper retro to me. They're dated but still at the cusp of modern gaming, and aside from graphics, not much has changed.
Gen 5 and downwards I consider retro though. And anything before the NES deserves its own name as retro doesn't cut it.
In terms of hardware it was ahead of its time. The games are mostly disappointments, lots of ports that are better on console and jrpgs I don't care about
Literally this though, the games sucked wiener for the most part but had way more graphical capability than any other mobile gaming device on the market at the time. It came out when games were loosing their touch. 05, 06 were the least aesthetic when compared to 01, 02, and 03. If a good 3d capable handheld came out in 01, its games would be dramatically different.
The DS had a far better library it's not even a competition there.
Zoomers ruin everything they touch
I just hate how pretentious zoomers are, just say you like the console and think it's cool because of nostalgia.
All this dressing up your surface level observation with words like "liminal space" is fricking moronic.
The psp fricked up because every game you expected to enjoy was a monkeys paw.
Metal gear on the go but it's a strategy rpg.
God of War on the go but it has a fraction of the resources and the combat sucks.
Etc.
Kingdom hearts on the go but they ruined the gameplay from 2 and added some weird command deck building shit nobody wanted.
Yeah because they experimented new mechanics with those games and that's precisely why they were so much kino. You're just autistic and changes make you seethe.
Both PSP and the NDS were legendary. I know moronic homosexuals will try to put one against the other because they were technically competing products, but you can play both.
I never spent so much of a good time quantity-wise than with PSP & NDS and I had the best consoles.
The NDS sucked wiener, homosexual. That shit's for girls. Enjoy moronic and pointless mk ultra GATEd brainage or Nintendo dogs, b***h. The PSP's games sucked too, ngl.
That's another thing, does OP realize you could be 10 when the PSP came out and now be 30? How is it exclusively a "zoomer" thing, shouldn't it be more zillennial?
It's melinial. Chances are op is one as well and just larping as le hip retro gaymer but has a fricking meltdown when his child hood games offcially become retro. Big problem in the retro community.
No, OP is just moronic and thinks anyone he doesn't like is a zoomer. I'd wager he doesn't even know what the word means, and that he just thinks it's a slur he picked up off of his favorite Brazilian wire fraud forum.
I bought a GO a while ago because i needed a handheld i could actually fit in my pocket to kill time at work, shit arrived on the latest firmware with a permanent hack, freedom unite with a save nearing 300 hours, a GBA emulator with a near perfect aria of sorrow file and this picture in it.
I cleaned it thoroughly obviously, imagine buying second hand shit and not dusting it off at the very least. And it's not like i can blame him because i did the same with my first PSP as well. I also jerked off that to picture before formatting the thing.
It was the most clunky version of the MM games because of the hardware but it still had far more heart put into it than the absolute dogshit that was 3
Frick Playstation and Sumo for shitting up one of the best series at that time and then trying to parade around its corpse with a completely unrelated spinoff
>decided to start playing Portable 3rd on my PSP again over the weekend for the hell of it >PSP thread the day I return to Ganker
Poetic, truly. Need to replace my battery though, it's shot to the point it'll barely hold a half an hour's worth of charge. Also Sega needs to put both Phantasy Stars on concurrent platforms, and do the same with 0 while they're at it the worthless fricks.
The licensed music they got was nice, but other than that I much preferred playing 1 and 2.
I never had ps3 or any other sony console before, so it was my first experience with this franchise and I'd say I really liked it and didn't feel it was clunky or lacking in content
When I was like 14 or 15 I knew a guy who owned one and used it as his music player in school while everyone else had some cheap ass mp3 player. I remember how jealous I was because I only owned some fricking cheap ass stick looking mp3 player and I had to crawl behind my PC to insert it.
The vita was so sexy, too bad their is go good upgrade to the touchpad and touchscreen. There were clearly a few too many mistakes when designing it, but the thing slapped hard, even their games were 1000x better than the shitted PSP. It just doesn't have a very long shelf life which I hate more than anything else about it. The PSP has a near infinite shelf life given a few mods

I think they should've beefed it up more in terms of performance too. There's PSP titles who look better than the 3DS graphically. I still like it (and the DS) but it wasn't as much of a leap forward when compared to the DS.

I fricking hate this game so much
All the best games on it were just PS2 ports, and every black person i know owned one and used it for porn(me too even though im a honkey). The ratchet and clank game that came with it was pretty dope tho
That was my PS1 emulator and porn device back in highschool. It rocked, and I'll always love it for being able to speed run Resident Evil 2 or Digimon world wherever I went.
Not that anon but i just don't have the patience for FU anymore, not even a world shitter either, i started with F1 but P3rd spoiled me. I don't quite like the "new" titles (read: everything after 3U) so the only games i go back to are P3rd and 3U.
They weren't mobile games at all, they just had shittier graphics, ~~*rockstar*~~ even made two whole GTA games for it that expanded the original 3 and VC cities.
Nah, you need to get a new one. These batteries have a tendency to swell when they have zero power for long periods of time. Be glad you found it before it exploded and killed you.
It's best to store it at a 70% charge. If the battery voltage drops too much they permanently lose capacity and can potentially inflate.
On the other hand, if you keep the battery "alive" with periodic use, it can last you a very long time. I bought the last model PSP in 2011 or something like that and it has a built-in battery. I still haven't had to replace it.
Prior to this I had a 2000, but it got broken beyond repair. The point I'm making is that the batteries can last pretty long if you're not neglectful for lack of a better word.
As for the Street, I like the build quality and the fact that it's beefier because I have bigger hands. Thought about getting a used original Fat model, but it has worse specs and I didn't know if it runs the later titles at full speed.
get a 3000 if possible, i have a 1000 and im planning on upgrading pretty soon because of the increased ram + i need a second psp for when the battery dies
So basically there wont be issues as long as the battery keeps getting charge from time to time. In PSP case it runs out of power quite fast even without use, I need to charge mine like once a month.
I see everyone online always saying this so I went and checked my PSP and the battery looks perfectly fine. I haven't used it since like 2009 or something so I was expecting the battery to be like yours.
Maybe it had a charge in it that helped it to not die. I have 2 psps but I've only played one of them over the years and the other one's battery got swollen while my main psp is fine.
Excess moisture built up through humidity.
The only way to remove is to throw it in a microwave and heat it for no more than 1 minute. hot enough to evaporate and remove the moisture.
Just do it in a well ventilated space, the moisture will pull out any plastic vapors along with it.
>nostalgic
well yeah it was hands down the best handheld ever made. The vita is so fricking soulless in comparison. UMDs alone were so fricking cool looking. I spit on todays snoytroons and people who bought a vita can go kill themselves (todays decktrannies)
>tfw you're an idort who still owns a Vita and 3DS
honestly, it's not even about the exclusives, but it's cool having multiple handhelds to emulate my entire library from the 5th gen prior.
Lmao this. I wish my Vita didn't have a dead pixel on it 🙁 Action games don't feel as nice to play on 3DS, the top half wobbles too much (New 2DS XL model)
>feels like a relic from a whole other world
It was from the 2000s and the 2000s was essentially the last breath of the 20th century so that makes sense.
he's not wrong
comparing it to a modern handheld console like the switch is uncanny
it's graphically inferior and lacks additional buttons but the sheer freedom it presents to the user is only seen in high end android smartphones nowadays
Nothing will ever beat the feeling of holding one of these bad boys the day it came out in 2005 and playing some stupid shit like Twisted Metal Head-On. The thing felt like a decade ahead of its time, sony put absolutely everything they got into this thing and for once it didn't turn out shit because of it.
>beep boop >"x was ahead of its time" >beep boop >"my. favorite. console. was... the underrated." >beep boop >"aah yes, the good old days of the PS4 Pro and Sony Virtual Reality, oh. those. old. graphics. how we.. loved them." >beep boop
im nostalgic for it too because it brings me back to days when i just played Vice city stories and fifa nonstop after school. Now life is boring working and having barely 2 hours of free time every night because your job/traffic/cooking/chores take the rest of your shitty day
I remember some kid playing a PSP at McD's, I thought about asking my parents for one but at the time I was pretty sure they wouldn't of bought me one so I never did. Please, frick off with making nostalgia for old mainstream things mainstream, it fricking hikes the 2nd hand market prices.
Maybe we'll all be lucky and techies and solders will buy it and fix those bad boys up for the future instead of welfare check morons who'll compulsively leave their asiaticchink batteries in it and store it in their mother's flat where housing is so fricking cheap because of constant tornadoes or a flooding. Heck, so long as those fricking morons don't go spending their whole savings on some plastic, I think we'll be okay economically.
I don't know about zoomers because I'm 34, but the PSP was one of the first things I bought with my own money I made from my first job. It not being region locked was pretty important in making me who I am today.
PSP was the first device I had that could play mp3s and mp4s that wasn't the family PC. I have a similar love of the Wii for being my first way to use a browser and Youtube on a TV.
That's some plug and play grade tech bro. Real and actual pos and I would honestly say the Dreamcast did it better with the PS2 being a slight decline from such.
I'm quite partial to the GBA and especially the SP as my favorite handheld of all time. But I can also play its entire library on a PSP so that is another bonus.
The GBA suffers the same faults as the PSX, they were low key, leapster-grade education games.

Resident evil, pharma company umbrella seams vastly similar to Pfizer, moderna, and the other laboratories that are all in Cambridge. Half Life 2 has plenty of trains and railways, it's about uranium (Gordon Freeman) passing through plutonium (Combine), basically nukes. Where would you make and transport a nuke? MIT maybe? They have rails that pass through the entire campus that are entirely serviceable but not for public transport reasons. The game has a likeness of the aesthetic of the campus too.
C'mon anon, do you really think these games weren't created by the US government? Have you ever seen those games that have those descending loading bay platforms? The kind in Akira, half life's black mesa and they even have it in kill zone mercenary with the inference of a virus in its story.

I don't think so, if i remember well the guy that was fan-translating it stopped his work on the game when Spike Chunsoft announced the games would get a western release.
How do you bypass the captcha? I browse this shithole at work but never phonepost because kuroba dev keeps breaking every two days, currently it cannot load the captcha.
it's mostly luck
the current captcha system is incompatible with the psp but the website will sometimes let you post without verifying it
I had to turn the system on and off, try to post and repeat until it got the classic >verification not required
which luckily only took about 3 tries
That's cool, i remember the psp couldn't play porn videos from its browser, but it let you download them and they worked on its media player, there was this one website that let you download anime the same way, can't remember its name but i'm 100% sure it no longer exists.
>Forum where you could grab PSP games also hosted anime >Directly download anime to my PS3 because PC shat the bed and watch from the comfort of your chair then copying whatever episodes to the PSP to watch elsewhere
I have much more convenient shit today but fricking take me back being able to play new vidya, emulate old vidya, listen to music, watch shit, etc. all on one handheld device before smartphones blew up felt like I was living in the future
It probably has something more to do with some sort of vulnerability than people just not using it. Although I can't imagine the type of person that would use a browser on their PS5 instead of your phone. Actually I take that back, I CAN imagine them.
Silly how Shitllennials grew up as the basedchugging weak immigrant loving generation while zoomers who mostly get shat on are overwhelmingly more cynical of modern industry and social manipulation
This separation of generations is an American cope, they don't want to admit that the problem with "millennials" and "zoomers" is just with American millennials and American zoomers, who are two flavors of homosexualry and npc behavior.
Its meh, it being a prequel with a new cast somewhat helps but yeah, as the other anon explained, it somewhat assumes you know a couple things like characters and all that. It also takes impact away from many good moments from 1 and 2.
It's not as good as 358/2. Kingdom Hearts' story isn't all that great, it was popular because of its childish gameplay that didn't require a lot of thinking. Tourists don't seem to realize that. 358/2 has the most core elements of what made KH fun
>thinking I'd have nostaglia for a console with one of the shittiest controllers to date
Dreamcast deserved its fate and Sega's led by fricking idiots.
32here My only experience with the psp was in 2007 a classmate had porn oh his and he showed it to the moronic kid who loved trains. I distinctly remember "why did that girl have two butt holes?"
Later on in 2008 it was my week friend playing persona.
Then in 2010 my friends smelly, fedora wearing, nunchuck practicing, brother playing monster hunter and complaining about the low droprate for brain stems.
Help out an italiangay here, I can't find a used Vita for a fricking decent price.
homosexuals on ebay, subito.it (italian craiglist) are asking 100€ for assbusted states consoles with zero cables and shit.
I payd 60€ for a used PSP GO with box, all the manuals, the fricking stand and a protective case; why Vitas are so hard to come by at cheap price, or at least at decent conditions?
Don't bother pasta anon. Vitas have always been sold for atleast 100€ in used markets even when it was alive. For some reason it just won't decrease in price.
I'm mad at Konami for not releasing more Castlevania games on it. I mean, Dracula X is fine but it's ultimately an overhaul with 2 ports of pre-existing games.
Something like Dawn of Sorrow would've been great.
I pretty much got it to unlock Rondo + SotN on the go.
But I remember being disappointed that they didn't release more original games because it was my portable of choice at the time.
Aside from Peace Walker the best Konami releases on PSP were the Twinbee/Parodius/Gradius/Salamander ports, most of these games came out when Konami was about to ruin every single one of their franchises starting from Silent Hill so yeah you shouldn't have expected much.
The battery consumption (Cameron Sino for 100x model) of my PSP is way too high when it's powered off, it lasts maybe 3 days before discharging completely. Why? Screen on time is normal, something around 3-4 hours, charging times are also normal.
Yeah, it doesn't matter if I >remove the battery to cause a shutdown >turn it off with the physical slider >turn it off through CFW menu
they all have the same results. >get it replaced
shit, i just did
Then it could be some faulty component within the psp. It happens sometimes, I remember a case where someone opened a unit and discovered that it was heating up some place near the battery.
How it got to that point is anyone's guess.
>Ah yes the geat PSP game catalogue with hits like:
pretty much every PS1 game that matters + emulators or homebrew ports of shit like cave story + some cool anime games like monster hunter and dissidia
when the PSP is the only handheld device at the time that can play these games, they are effectively PSP games because only by getting a PSP can I enjoy them portable.
If you were 8 years old and too stupid to get homebrew on your PSP then yeah I can see it being pretty underwhelming if you aren't a huge weeb
Back in the day I was surprised you could even play FPS games on the go, not only with the psp but even on the ds.
Guess I had the assumption it was the most demanding kind of game. But PS2 ports were also impressive.

I guess it helps that I still have mine and play emulated games on it so it hasn't been gone from memory for a while.
The slimmer PSP was god tier, it's a shame Sony knee-capped it by denying so many games being brought over from Japan just because they were 2D or a remaster of a PS1 game.
>psp screen >small
It has a 4.3 in or so screen, the og gameboy had a 2.6 or so.
Now we get devices that have 6-8 inch or more screens.
When did people stop giving a shit about the actual portability of handhelds?
I think a screen should be no bigger than the Vita's at maximum.
And that comment in OP's post is pretty accurate too, the PSP screen doesn't feel small when you're actually playing a game.

>Do SNES games run well on it?
I've never had any issues with SNES titles. I think the early emulators were kind of shitty and that gave them a bad reputation but the latest versions run games fine.
Based, and same. So many hours spent in world tour, dramatic battle, and playing arcade mode over and over. >alpha 3 max, guilty gear judgement, power stone collection
I'm pretty sure I only played multi-player versus maybe once, yet I've over 1,000 hours on fighting game single player alone through my psp.
Also, Did you ever beat the Kumite? *WU TAH!*"
Wipeout. I used to play it on my phone. I'm not nostalgic about PSP/DS yet since they're too "recent" in my mind, but I'm super nostalgic about old phones and Java games.
I bought a PSP entirely because I thought gameplay footage of this game looked super cool and wanted to check it out - between this and twewy square was really killing it in 2008
I loved capcom shit back then so I bought megaman powered up. Don't regret it, I loved making levels for myself and my little brother to complete back then.
I still have my OG psp 2000. It's funny, what I am nostalgic for is the method of hacking it. I remember the pandora battery trick, and was lucky to know a fellow anon I become friends with who helped hack my psp.
And then years later, that major PS3 hack which made CFW easy as pie. The psp was ahead of its time in terms of raw power and features. I put movies, music and roms on there as a kid.
There is only 1 thing that kills that machine for me, and that is the charger. Damn thing was so impractical to carry around. And when the PSP battery drained, you would constantly have to reset the date/time. Even charging from usb was awfully slow. But anyways, yeah, great fricking console.
I remember back then hacking all my younger siblings PSPs for them and I bought memory sticks for all of them and downloaded new games for them every couple of weeks. As a result my sister is nostalgic for a lot of random PSP games like Portable Ops Plus online. She used to play it everyday during the summer holidays from school.
I used to work in an office during the summers back then (2006-2009) and the boss would hardly ever be there and never left me work to do. He just wanted me there to answer the phone basically. So I used to play so many random PSP games on my hacked PSP while I was at work. Getting paid to play games all day was based as a teenager.
>more expensive that DS >proprietary storage, crappy screen >One analog >The majority of the PSP's catalog are only-jp, anime visual novels >more complex homebrew, with DS you only need a R4
>more expensive that DS
You could also play a multitude of other systems on it and not just DS games. Not to mention other multimedia capabilities. >proprietary storage, crappy screen
You only need a mem. card if you're going to hack it. Wouldn't say the screen is crappy because DS screens can deteriorate over time and I haven't seen that on a PSP. >One analog
Vs no analog on the DS. >The majority of the PSP's catalog are only-jp, anime visual novels
The catalog is definitely its weakest side but not bad overall, and again this was before the notion of a portable PS1 around every corner. >more complex homebrew, with DS you only need a R4
The homebrew is easy as piss.
I like both systems but you get more bang for your buck with a PSP and that's a fact.
It got a frickton of price cuts over the years, but it was selling so fricking much at some point sony cut its losses and just sold them for $199 well aware that the owners would just hack it ASAP. The storage wasn't quite proprietary, every single portable camera used those same SD cards. Having one analog doesn't even matter, literally only SOCOM and peace walker would have used it. Buying an R4 and just downloading games to it was infinitely easier, i'll give you that, but homebrew (you meant CFW) wasn't an issue as long as you had a three digit IQ.
>Having one analog doesn't even matter, literally only SOCOM and peace walker would have used it.
most people played monster hunter like this because the movement and camera were right next to eachother. I can see the logic of having the dpad and the stick next to eachother but it made a lot of games kind of awkward
>Having one analog doesn't even matter, literally only SOCOM and peace walker would have used it.
Why couldn't they add second stick to PSP Slim, they doubled the RAM in this model, so Sony wasn't against major hardware revisions. And most PSX games after relase of Dualshock were also playable on original PlayStation gamepad, so forcing developers to make games using second stick playable on systems without second analog stick shouldn't be too hard.
>it's another old people getting mad that younger people have nostalgia for things they don't thread
These threads make me embarrassed to be a millennial
I did. Why are millennials starting to act like boomers? I reject that but other millennials are starting to b***h about shit young people like and do. Who gives a frick about stupid shit zoomers like?
No you didn't. We're all nostalgic for the PSP here, because the fricking thing is over 20 years old. Just because you were a toddler when it came out doesn't mean the rest of us didn't grow up with it too, albeit a bit older.
And the rest of us told him to frick off, and got nostalgic for it. I'm a millennial who just kissed my 20s goodbye and I'm nostalgic for it, because I played it a shit ton in 5th and 6th grade up to middle school
Both are good but the PSP was more ahead of its time compared to the Vita.
Vita was simply more of the same but even better. Sony is responsible for its failure but it could've been one of the goats and I think the form factor is superior to modern day handhelds even currently.
Smartphones already existed when the Vita became a thing. PDAs could not compare to the power of a PSP.
I do think the Vita is optimal if you're interested in playing PSP games nowadays though.
The PSP had a LOT more than people like to give it credit for.
I just started playing this a few weeks ago, and holy shit is it good, and it's a crime nobody talks about
It was made exactly at the wrong time, when Capcom was flooding the market with BN games, which were a different genre entirely, and too early to cash in on the nostalgia boom
It never stood a chance.
It was fun, honestly liked it a lot more than MHX.
Also it's impressive that the servers were kept alive untill last year, gave the chance to download all the Roll outfits.
So what? homie I'm 28 and i get nostalgic for the PSP too. Also >nostalgia can only relate to your childhood
Then how am I nostalgic about Morrowind, which I played for the first time in my life just under a year ago?
Millennials were already defined before 9/11 even happened. You gotta remember the turn of the millennium and not have been an infant. Otherwise we'd be calling people born in 1997 millennials because they remember 9/11.
>Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years
suffice to say if you were born after 1995 you'll never truly be a millennial
I thought it was "if you don't remember 9/11 you're a zoomer"
fwiw i was born in late 95 and i don't remember 9/11, but i do remember watching cartoons in the morning as my older bro went to school in the late 90s.
>Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years
suffice to say if you were born after 1995 you'll never truly be a millennial
My PSP was an emulation Machine. I had like 10 different consoles represented on it. I was playing Sega CD games on that shit and was addicted to Popful Mail.
It should have been a ps2 portable and ps1 remaster device cause all the oc sucked
Meanwhile Valkyrie profile and ff tactics ports were the best games on the platform
The PSP was great as an SNES emulator. Irrelevant now with how many other options there are such as your phone or many dedicated devices, but back then being able to play classic SNES (with save states! Extremely convenient when you're on the plane or something) with buttons that seemed to be designed for that exact purpose was great. The ROM files were so small you could easily put a massive library on a memory stick.
Buy a vita instead, you can still get them for $100 and they're essentially a PSP 2.
>Having one analog doesn't even matter, literally only SOCOM and peace walker would have used it.
most people played monster hunter like this because the movement and camera were right next to eachother. I can see the logic of having the dpad and the stick next to eachother but it made a lot of games kind of awkward
The 3DS had a second anaog stick as an attachment, iirc it even launched with 3U, and people STILL used the claw.

The PSP is how I ended up a programmer and why to this day I can live comfortably. I'll never forget that little device and learning about what it could do. The day I modded my PSP was the first day of me graduating to a real deal programmer and that knowledge has kept me paid, functional and happy into adulthood. Thanks to that little PSP I learned more about electronics than any of my friends. Thanks to that PSP I was able to help my best bud's dad get through two Afghanistan deployments without being bored. Thanks to that PSP I managed to create a functional business and make enough pocket change to support my electronics love. Thanks to that PSP I learned about an insane underground scene and learned about some crazy legends before they disappeared forever. Thanks PSP you were a damn good console and an even better educator.
You're very blessed, anon. The Vita got me into my passion hobby of tech analysis/learning about hardware because I was there at the right time as homebrew kicked off and there were overclocking plugins coming out. I spent a ton of time in ePSP mode too with TN-V when 3.18 was still the golden firmware before Henkaku came out. They're great little devices
It will probably boot tbh. The biggest points of failure on these is the Analog stick, spring loaded UMD drive, and battery. In that order of likely failure. The main board is almost eternal. Screen burn in can also happen, but it's pretty easy to service.
This thread fellates the PSP but spits on the Dreamcast. Frick all of you for having such abysmal tastes.
The Dreamcast is essentially a nonentity. The PSP outsold it by a factor of almost 10. The Dreamcast while neat and forward thinking is firmly in the who the frick actually owned this category. Whereas the PSP had a lifespan much longer and contributed more to the modern console landscape by having features that became defacto standard.
Screen didn't feel small because the games were designed for it. Nowadays a handheld game is designed for multiplatform so the DPI is fricked on small screens. This is why theres a ton of complaints about switch games being unreadable or giving people headaches in handheld mode.
great console
great games
great functions
great porn
great road trip mornings of playing vidya
great school afternoons of watching movies
great home evenings of listening to music
great abroad midnights of browsing the internet
great times
3 hours, if it lasts any less than that you need to swap it, though even a brand new battery won't last more than 5 and modding in a bigger one is a hassle.
Do PSP games look any good on Vita? I have a 3ds and a dsi xl, and the ds games look so dogshit and blurry on 3ds in comparison that it might as well not be backwards compatible
Why shouldn't they be, it's 20 years old.
When the PSP came out, the NES was 20 years old
because zoomers are moronic
So no one should ever be nostalgic for anything that came out after 2000?
Yes
oh so it's retro
>In one more year the 360 will be 20 years old
I'm of the opinion that gen 7 will be the last generation that can ever become "retro". Gens 8 and 9 have been such a minimal change in comparison to previous generation transitions that there's nothing distinct about them to be specifically nostalgic for.
That depends on if you count handhelds, which this thread obviously does, fittingly I think Nintendo might be the last horse to cross that line
There is nothing retro about gen 7. Hdr and pbr look like dogshit.
PBR isn't really 7th gen. it started with 7th gen but barely any 7th gen games actually had it. it came about with games like Crysis 3 at the very late end of the generation, a long generation. PBR is 8th gen to me.
THE 7th gen feature are global real-time shadows. COD 4, AC, GTA 4, Far Cry 2. the 7th gen look is basically 6th gen + higher res + bad motion blur and depth of field + real-time shadows that are either aliased or noisy or both. honorary mention: the Unreal Engine 3 bloom that almost doubles as a depth of field effect it makes everything so blurry and smeary.
the sun has to move in every open world game. night time has to look like dog shit because the most expensive feature barely pays off at night etc.
then there's the late 7th gen look that adds primitive ambient occlusion (thick dark lines in every corner) and lots of light sources thanks to deferred shading.
once you add PBR to this package it starts to look 8th gen right away. you'd have to really cripple the resolution to make a PBR game feel 7th gen.
Gen 7 I can admit is retro, and has its charms. But I personally dislike it more than I don't, since it sowed the seeds that would become the shit we have now actively ruining games and game culture. Also Japanese devs really had a hard fricking time this gen, and tried every trick in the book to be relevant in the west to no avail, which ruined the perception of Japanese games for years.
Well gen 8 generally had better graphics thanks to good art direction and smart lighting conditions. It also generalized VR games and casual streaming so it also has that going for it.
Maybe gen 9 will be remembered for its controllers and next to no loading times. The dualsense is genuinely a very immersive and the series one is the best xbox controller that Microsoft has put out.
I do feel that gen 9 will be more infamous than the rest, being defined by live service slop just how gen 7 had the middle eastern, brown and yellow filter shooter.
I disagree
Gen 6 (and by extension later systems with similar capabilities like the PSP, 3DS, Wii) are the last ones. As you say 8th gen and 9th gen are largely just extensions of the 7th. Nothing radically different.
For me, for something to be retro it has to be old and very different from what we experience today. Maybe one day when gaming becomes VR-only 7th gen HD systems will be retro.
The early 7th gen is markedly different from the late 7th gen. Even though GTA IV and GTA V are both in the "HD universe" GTA IV feels much more dated.
Even Gen 6 doesn't register as proper retro to me. They're dated but still at the cusp of modern gaming, and aside from graphics, not much has changed.
Gen 5 and downwards I consider retro though. And anything before the NES deserves its own name as retro doesn't cut it.
people were saying the same thing about gen 6 like 2 years ago
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Frick you
In terms of hardware it was ahead of its time. The games are mostly disappointments, lots of ports that are better on console and jrpgs I don't care about
>stands in your way
so funny konami made the arc-v game on psp cause the vita was doing so bad
that and/or it was the easiest asset flip for a series that already had 6 entries on one platform. the same thing happens today with ps4/xbone.
Still salty they never brought this over the the U.S.
>The only actually good Yu-Gi-Oh game
Seriously, how were they unable to replicate this?
The game they released on Switch fricking sucked.
Literally this though, the games sucked wiener for the most part but had way more graphical capability than any other mobile gaming device on the market at the time. It came out when games were loosing their touch. 05, 06 were the least aesthetic when compared to 01, 02, and 03. If a good 3d capable handheld came out in 01, its games would be dramatically different.
Better than DS games.
Better graphics maybe
Better everything really.
Not really. I owned both systems. I enjoyed customizing the PSP UI more but the DS library was more fun to play
The DS had a far better library it's not even a competition there.
I just hate how pretentious zoomers are, just say you like the console and think it's cool because of nostalgia.
All this dressing up your surface level observation with words like "liminal space" is fricking moronic.
pokemon games are terrible, develop taste.
No you are wrong, also the DS had one of the best handheld transformers games of all time.
The best PSP games were the two Danganronpa games, you know its true
Honestly having handheld ports of awesome PS1 jrpgs was a huge selling point for me. The psp library is better than it gets credit for
The psp fricked up because every game you expected to enjoy was a monkeys paw.
Metal gear on the go but it's a strategy rpg.
God of War on the go but it has a fraction of the resources and the combat sucks.
Etc.
Kingdom hearts on the go but they ruined the gameplay from 2 and added some weird command deck building shit nobody wanted.
>Metal gear on the go but it's a strategy rpg.
Frick you, Acid was great
Yeah because they experimented new mechanics with those games and that's precisely why they were so much kino. You're just autistic and changes make you seethe.
Great graphic, great games.
I still play in some of them even now.
>that are better on console
I don't want to play on console. I want to play in a subway and bed.
This, I sold my PSP for a DS. Even now, I’ve emulated dozens of DS titles but only replay MG Acid or Crisis Core.
Both PSP and the NDS were legendary. I know moronic homosexuals will try to put one against the other because they were technically competing products, but you can play both.
I never spent so much of a good time quantity-wise than with PSP & NDS and I had the best consoles.
tpbp
The NDS sucked wiener, homosexual. That shit's for girls. Enjoy moronic and pointless mk ultra GATEd brainage or Nintendo dogs, b***h. The PSP's games sucked too, ngl.
>That shit's for girls
Not true. It had Wario games on it and girls find Wario gross and unappealing.
You're not going to tell me that Mario mandate warioware or (not) wario land 5 is somehow better than pre 04 gba, b***h
Why are you so mad?
Bussin fr fr
no cap?
No you don't idort
I had every machine that gen. I had the wii,360,ps3,ds and psp.
t'was a good gen to own them all
i did too, couldn't imagine limiting myself with console war homosexualry
that's great cuz the PSP was really good
>zoomer
I was born in 94 and have psp nostalgia, getting upset and coping over how fast time is going anon?
Neir automata is 10 years old in 2 months :*~~)
That's another thing, does OP realize you could be 10 when the PSP came out and now be 30? How is it exclusively a "zoomer" thing, shouldn't it be more zillennial?
>zillennial
stop trying to push this meme word
it'll catch on eventually, like "native isekai" did for whatever reason
it'll catch on just like how "slop" became a forced meme, so will zillennial.
It's melinial. Chances are op is one as well and just larping as le hip retro gaymer but has a fricking meltdown when his child hood games offcially become retro. Big problem in the retro community.
>melinial
Frick off, ESL.
Look at the games and tell us if you think it's melinial, unless you're not real melinial?
Vice City Stories is millennial.
Vice city stories is 06 DVD store box set. Not good
>Neir automata is 10 years old in 2 months
>10 years
Don't worry anon, it's only 7.
You must be fricking joking.

Frickian liar.
Damn, that bih is cute
>Neir automata is 10 years old in 2 months :*~~)
It came out in 2017, It'll be 7 years old.
>born in 94
>thinks he's not a zoomer
I've got some bad news for you, son...
1994-1995 are zoomers who we get lumped in with by corporations
God damn, middle child syndrome affects every aspect of my life. No one even knows what generation I'm in
Yep. 1995 and middle child is an abstract kind of feel.
You're just an early edition zoomer. Basically a PSP Fat compared to a Slim.
moron
>thinks 94 is zoomer
I have some bad news anon, you're moronic.
I played once in my cousin's house and to this day I remember it, it was pretty iconic
I played monster hunter in my room at night on my psp and I was born in 92. Is this really zoomer?
No, OP is just moronic and thinks anyone he doesn't like is a zoomer. I'd wager he doesn't even know what the word means, and that he just thinks it's a slur he picked up off of his favorite Brazilian wire fraud forum.
The PSP is nearly 20 years old at this point, you got damn moronic jaded idiot.
It's just shroommeister spamming the shit he's obsessed with and samegayging with his phone if the thread is inactive
Experiencing PSP games on the Vita spoiled me from using a PSP-3000
Come home, white man.
>psp user is a sexually deviant degenerate
like clockwork
bro you're on Ganker don't act like you're not a deviant degenerate too
I bought a GO a while ago because i needed a handheld i could actually fit in my pocket to kill time at work, shit arrived on the latest firmware with a permanent hack, freedom unite with a save nearing 300 hours, a GBA emulator with a near perfect aria of sorrow file and this picture in it.
https://files.catbox.moe/0b8itk.jpg
Aren't you worried he put his 'ick on it?
I cleaned it thoroughly obviously, imagine buying second hand shit and not dusting it off at the very least. And it's not like i can blame him because i did the same with my first PSP as well. I also jerked off that to picture before formatting the thing.
Sauce?
I think the girl is super sonico, so just type her name+paizuri in any booru and you'll find it.
Found it. Thanks for the help man.
Sounds like a win to me you even got free Super Sonico hentai
XMB reminds me of how I'd shove a USB into my PS3 and watch Breaking Bad
I used to do the same
hot
PSP is a retro system now
moron
You're old.
>zoomies trying to steal OUR PSP nostalgia
frick off zoomoids, PSP is millenialcore
I'm a 99er and a kid was playing on his PSP in the first grade
It came out in the 2000s. It's a zoomer console.
psp did the Nintendo Switch thing years ago
so did the sega nomad but it sucked
yeah, PSP games never fill the entire screen, but some TVs have a "Zoom In" feature for adjust the size
What did you think of it?
99% of the game's content disappeared with the servers...
i never liked played any of these games growing up because i thought sackboy was ugly
vita version was better
It was the most clunky version of the MM games because of the hardware but it still had far more heart put into it than the absolute dogshit that was 3
Frick Playstation and Sumo for shitting up one of the best series at that time and then trying to parade around its corpse with a completely unrelated spinoff
>decided to start playing Portable 3rd on my PSP again over the weekend for the hell of it
>PSP thread the day I return to Ganker
Poetic, truly. Need to replace my battery though, it's shot to the point it'll barely hold a half an hour's worth of charge. Also Sega needs to put both Phantasy Stars on concurrent platforms, and do the same with 0 while they're at it the worthless fricks.
The licensed music they got was nice, but other than that I much preferred playing 1 and 2.
I never had ps3 or any other sony console before, so it was my first experience with this franchise and I'd say I really liked it and didn't feel it was clunky or lacking in content
Handhelds are not consoles
They're handheld what now?
When I was like 14 or 15 I knew a guy who owned one and used it as his music player in school while everyone else had some cheap ass mp3 player. I remember how jealous I was because I only owned some fricking cheap ass stick looking mp3 player and I had to crawl behind my PC to insert it.
The 2004 PSP having a higher res screen than the 3DS was what caused me to pirate all Nintendo software for the last 13 years
it was insane at the time
This makes me want to get Blazblue for 3DS and Vita
the vita version is basically ps3 version ported over. 3ds is its own beast.
>image comparing resolution is fricking tiny
The vita was so sexy, too bad their is go good upgrade to the touchpad and touchscreen. There were clearly a few too many mistakes when designing it, but the thing slapped hard, even their games were 1000x better than the shitted PSP. It just doesn't have a very long shelf life which I hate more than anything else about it. The PSP has a near infinite shelf life given a few mods
*There is no good upgrade
Sory or typo
>were 1000x better than the
I don't like vita games, sorry.
Only good games is p4g, srw and that adventure game that was a big hit when vita released.
nintendo gimped the 3ds so fricking hard with that shitty screen.
all for the useless 3D that they gave up on not even halfway into it's life
I think they should've beefed it up more in terms of performance too. There's PSP titles who look better than the 3DS graphically. I still like it (and the DS) but it wasn't as much of a leap forward when compared to the DS.
that look*
The PSP is flatout more powerful than the 3DS all things considered.
3DS had resident evil revelations which sometimes looked like a 360 game thought
>posting the abortion of the franchise
I fricking hate this game so much
Nintendo is the Apple of the gaming world.
Next gen pricing for last gens' specs. They eat it up every time.
UMDs were such a shit format
It's the last soulful disc format before blu ray became common.
>soulful disc format
Jesus
correct
All the best games on it were just PS2 ports, and every black person i know owned one and used it for porn(me too even though im a honkey). The ratchet and clank game that came with it was pretty dope tho
Still mad they murdered Dissidia.
That was my PS1 emulator and porn device back in highschool. It rocked, and I'll always love it for being able to speed run Resident Evil 2 or Digimon world wherever I went.
fr no cap gyattbruh
the psp was deadass gucci drip
Yeah because it was fricking based, you tasteless casual.
Nothing will ever be better than this time in my life, I should have died after this period in my life. Frick this gay earth.
We can go back to it, Anon. I am currently farming Fatalis. This fricker is super annoying solo. But together we can manage! Join me!
Not that anon but i just don't have the patience for FU anymore, not even a world shitter either, i started with F1 but P3rd spoiled me. I don't quite like the "new" titles (read: everything after 3U) so the only games i go back to are P3rd and 3U.
The good old days. Back when mobile games where mobile games instead of mobile GaaS
They weren't mobile games at all, they just had shittier graphics, ~~*rockstar*~~ even made two whole GTA games for it that expanded the original 3 and VC cities.
My mother still has my old PSP lying around
When I checked it out the battery had swollen and crackled
are these batteries safe to use or not?
To think that they still manufacture and sell the batteries is incredible, I might just buy a new one so I can play Chains of Olympus
yes just push it harder
the panel won't even close with the swollen battery
Post ID 666, battery's gonna explode, watch out
Nah, you need to get a new one. These batteries have a tendency to swell when they have zero power for long periods of time. Be glad you found it before it exploded and killed you.
PSP batteries are known to do this, throw it out and buy a chink replacement. Yes, it's dangerous to keep it around.
It's best to store it at a 70% charge. If the battery voltage drops too much they permanently lose capacity and can potentially inflate.
On the other hand, if you keep the battery "alive" with periodic use, it can last you a very long time. I bought the last model PSP in 2011 or something like that and it has a built-in battery. I still haven't had to replace it.
>Street
Jesus Christ replace that thing
Prior to this I had a 2000, but it got broken beyond repair. The point I'm making is that the batteries can last pretty long if you're not neglectful for lack of a better word.
As for the Street, I like the build quality and the fact that it's beefier because I have bigger hands. Thought about getting a used original Fat model, but it has worse specs and I didn't know if it runs the later titles at full speed.
get a 3000 if possible, i have a 1000 and im planning on upgrading pretty soon because of the increased ram + i need a second psp for when the battery dies
>Haven't turned on my PSP in 15 years
>lost my charger for it and have to buy a new one
>learn this
Oh no...
15 years? That boy is dead anon, sorry. Good news is that batteries are easy to replace, even on the models with the built-in bats.
I think he should test it first to be sure. If it's a relatively stock battery it could still be alive.
So basically there wont be issues as long as the battery keeps getting charge from time to time. In PSP case it runs out of power quite fast even without use, I need to charge mine like once a month.
Get rid of that asap you fricking ape brain
I see everyone online always saying this so I went and checked my PSP and the battery looks perfectly fine. I haven't used it since like 2009 or something so I was expecting the battery to be like yours.
Maybe it had a charge in it that helped it to not die. I have 2 psps but I've only played one of them over the years and the other one's battery got swollen while my main psp is fine.
Excess moisture built up through humidity.
The only way to remove is to throw it in a microwave and heat it for no more than 1 minute. hot enough to evaporate and remove the moisture.
Just do it in a well ventilated space, the moisture will pull out any plastic vapors along with it.
i have mine on my shelf as i type this just collecting dust. been there for like a year now.
Ganker has been nostalgic about the psp since it launched because it was dead on arrival
a lot of people in my highschool had modded PSPs.
It was the best handheld
Vita was GOAT
>nostalgic
well yeah it was hands down the best handheld ever made. The vita is so fricking soulless in comparison. UMDs alone were so fricking cool looking. I spit on todays snoytroons and people who bought a vita can go kill themselves (todays decktrannies)
>tfw you're an idort who still owns a Vita and 3DS
honestly, it's not even about the exclusives, but it's cool having multiple handhelds to emulate my entire library from the 5th gen prior.
Lmao this. I wish my Vita didn't have a dead pixel on it 🙁 Action games don't feel as nice to play on 3DS, the top half wobbles too much (New 2DS XL model)
I got one last week and it has a whole line of them. They're at the very bottom so it's not too bad but ughhhh
Oh damn, mine isn't that bad. Hope you're still having fun though.
What colors?
Black PSP, blue 3DS, white Vita.
Zoomers ruin everything they touch
I agree with the rest of the post but that idiot doesn't know what liminal space or uncanny valley means.
>feels like a relic from a whole other world
It was from the 2000s and the 2000s was essentially the last breath of the 20th century so that makes sense.
he's not wrong
comparing it to a modern handheld console like the switch is uncanny
it's graphically inferior and lacks additional buttons but the sheer freedom it presents to the user is only seen in high end android smartphones nowadays
Sounds like a professional "quote maker" to me.
it is retro
I'm 33 and nostalgic for the psp
pokke village... home
And James Rolfe was nostalgic about Simon's Quest in 2006 which came out 18 years earlier just like the PSP
I've been playing my PSP every night in bed for almost 20 years.
the dpad sucks
wish your mom sucked so I didn't have to read your post
I'm nostalgic for the PS Vita actually. God it's so good and deserved better from Sony.
I like the PSP because I can play games from 2014 on my UMPC that has a GMA 500 in it
Nothing will ever beat the feeling of holding one of these bad boys the day it came out in 2005 and playing some stupid shit like Twisted Metal Head-On. The thing felt like a decade ahead of its time, sony put absolutely everything they got into this thing and for once it didn't turn out shit because of it.
>beep boop
>"x was ahead of its time"

I'm 36 and everything they said is correct.
im nostalgic for it too because it brings me back to days when i just played Vice city stories and fifa nonstop after school. Now life is boring working and having barely 2 hours of free time every night because your job/traffic/cooking/chores take the rest of your shitty day
I'm sorry are you saying that's what the people in this thread are acting like or that your stance reflects the pictured caricature?
I see... they miss and love being battered by their beloved sony all the time.
shame that
The 64GB cards had a notoriously high failure rate too. Thankfully, you can just use a regular Micro SD with CFW.
yeah, snoys got used to be screwed up left and right by Sony. lol
it's not even that bad. 64GB wasn't widely available and the sd2vita started popping up around 2016.
>Zoomers
bro I know you can't stop the norwood at this point but why don't you leave us alone
total boomer death btw
homie i'm already nostalgic for corona, let alone something from 2 decades ago
I remember some kid playing a PSP at McD's, I thought about asking my parents for one but at the time I was pretty sure they wouldn't of bought me one so I never did. Please, frick off with making nostalgia for old mainstream things mainstream, it fricking hikes the 2nd hand market prices.
Maybe we'll all be lucky and techies and solders will buy it and fix those bad boys up for the future instead of welfare check morons who'll compulsively leave their asiaticchink batteries in it and store it in their mother's flat where housing is so fricking cheap because of constant tornadoes or a flooding. Heck, so long as those fricking morons don't go spending their whole savings on some plastic, I think we'll be okay economically.
literally no games, then monster hunter came out and saved sony. rest is history
>this console was so ahead of it's time
How?
PS5 level graphics on the go
Oh yeah the psp with all these great games like .. uhh .. gravity rush and .. hmm .. the rest was kinda shit.
I don't know about zoomers because I'm 34, but the PSP was one of the first things I bought with my own money I made from my first job. It not being region locked was pretty important in making me who I am today.
PSP was the first device I had that could play mp3s and mp4s that wasn't the family PC. I have a similar love of the Wii for being my first way to use a browser and Youtube on a TV.
That's some plug and play grade tech bro. Real and actual pos and I would honestly say the Dreamcast did it better with the PS2 being a slight decline from such.
I remember browsing Aeris Dies on my PSP back in the day. Good times.
I made this post on a working psp
This system is cool as hell even today
Here's the proof by the way
That's pretty cool.
While its own catalog might not be legendary, the multimedia capabilities and emulation alone makes this one of the best machines they ever released.
The selection of games is better than the gba and ds, yet people pretend the ds had some incredible library.
I'm quite partial to the GBA and especially the SP as my favorite handheld of all time. But I can also play its entire library on a PSP so that is another bonus.
The GBA suffers the same faults as the PSX, they were low key, leapster-grade education games.
The PSX library is goated
It is, but did you know that some of the best games take place in Cambridge, Massachusetts? Do you think all those games having secret unground laboratories was a mere coincidence?
What are you on about?
Resident evil, pharma company umbrella seams vastly similar to Pfizer, moderna, and the other laboratories that are all in Cambridge. Half Life 2 has plenty of trains and railways, it's about uranium (Gordon Freeman) passing through plutonium (Combine), basically nukes. Where would you make and transport a nuke? MIT maybe? They have rails that pass through the entire campus that are entirely serviceable but not for public transport reasons. The game has a likeness of the aesthetic of the campus too.
C'mon anon, do you really think these games weren't created by the US government? Have you ever seen those games that have those descending loading bay platforms? The kind in Akira, half life's black mesa and they even have it in kill zone mercenary with the inference of a virus in its story.
What did he mean by this?

Does psp danganronpa 2 have a full translation, if so is it any good?
I don't think so, if i remember well the guy that was fan-translating it stopped his work on the game when Spike Chunsoft announced the games would get a western release.
I now want a PSP Go.
soul vs soulless
absolutely. I knew a few kids in high school who modded peoples PSPs as a side hustle. its pretty amazing for a handheld
How do you bypass the captcha? I browse this shithole at work but never phonepost because kuroba dev keeps breaking every two days, currently it cannot load the captcha.
it's mostly luck
the current captcha system is incompatible with the psp but the website will sometimes let you post without verifying it
I had to turn the system on and off, try to post and repeat until it got the classic
>verification not required
which luckily only took about 3 tries
That's cool, i remember the psp couldn't play porn videos from its browser, but it let you download them and they worked on its media player, there was this one website that let you download anime the same way, can't remember its name but i'm 100% sure it no longer exists.
>Forum where you could grab PSP games also hosted anime
>Directly download anime to my PS3 because PC shat the bed and watch from the comfort of your chair then copying whatever episodes to the PSP to watch elsewhere
I have much more convenient shit today but fricking take me back being able to play new vidya, emulate old vidya, listen to music, watch shit, etc. all on one handheld device before smartphones blew up felt like I was living in the future
Reminder that you cannot do this on a piss5.
It doesnt have an internet browser?
It *technically* does, but you aren't allowed to freely use it because frick you.
That sounds like something I should have heard about even before the launch, I guess most people just dont use it?
It probably has something more to do with some sort of vulnerability than people just not using it. Although I can't imagine the type of person that would use a browser on their PS5 instead of your phone. Actually I take that back, I CAN imagine them.
Mostly because they are afraid of people hacking it.
The PS Vita these days can be hacked just by entering a specific website.
it had one at launch but they removed it if I remember correctly
it doesn't have one currently
No idea why, the Steam Deck exists, it's the perfect successor to a PSP with CFW.
Silly how Shitllennials grew up as the basedchugging weak immigrant loving generation while zoomers who mostly get shat on are overwhelmingly more cynical of modern industry and social manipulation
This separation of generations is an American cope, they don't want to admit that the problem with "millennials" and "zoomers" is just with American millennials and American zoomers, who are two flavors of homosexualry and npc behavior.
>zoomers are cynical losers
How is that a flex again?
i look like this and say this but im also a zoomzoom
Wonderful console
It and the DS hard carried the downhill that the 7th gen was.
Very true, I probably played WAY more DS/PSP games than I did PS3/360/Wii.
They also held up better than the home consoles of that gen, imo. I could bust one of these out at any time but my 360 probably has cobwebs.
may as well ask here since it's a psp thread
is BBS a good starting point for getting into Kingdom Hearts?
Not really. There's a lot of required reading as the game assumes you played the others
Its meh, it being a prequel with a new cast somewhat helps but yeah, as the other anon explained, it somewhat assumes you know a couple things like characters and all that. It also takes impact away from many good moments from 1 and 2.
It's not as good as 358/2. Kingdom Hearts' story isn't all that great, it was popular because of its childish gameplay that didn't require a lot of thinking. Tourists don't seem to realize that. 358/2 has the most core elements of what made KH fun
Im still in shock how fricking re:coded had much better gameplay than bbs..
I'm almost 40 and I am nostalgic for the PSP/DS days.
>jumping straight to PSP nostalgia
Where the frick is the Dreamcast nostalgia?
2018-2019
you probably weren't paying attention
Doesn't the Dreamcast have a cult following at this point? I remember people being nostalgic about it in like 2008
Basically everything since the release of the original XBOX.
barely anyone had a dream cast
I'm not barely anyone.
true
you're barely anything
Nobody had that shit so nobody can feel nostalgia for it
Can't have nostalgia for something nobody actually had
>thinking I'd have nostaglia for a console with one of the shittiest controllers to date
Dreamcast deserved its fate and Sega's led by fricking idiots.
He was not used to Smartphone and Tablets screens. Portable devices had small screens
32here My only experience with the psp was in 2007 a classmate had porn oh his and he showed it to the moronic kid who loved trains. I distinctly remember "why did that girl have two butt holes?"
Later on in 2008 it was my week friend playing persona.
Then in 2010 my friends smelly, fedora wearing, nunchuck practicing, brother playing monster hunter and complaining about the low droprate for brain stems.
If only Sony gave it games that weren't ports.
the Vita had more games than the PS5 has now
PSP batteries in particular are extra spicy for any morons thinking of consooming
ginny on the sp
Help out an italiangay here, I can't find a used Vita for a fricking decent price.
homosexuals on ebay, subito.it (italian craiglist) are asking 100€ for assbusted states consoles with zero cables and shit.
I payd 60€ for a used PSP GO with box, all the manuals, the fricking stand and a protective case; why Vitas are so hard to come by at cheap price, or at least at decent conditions?
Don't bother pasta anon. Vitas have always been sold for atleast 100€ in used markets even when it was alive. For some reason it just won't decrease in price.
porco di quel dio cane
IT WAS
IT FRICKING WAS
so many characters and surprisingly not that clunky fighting system, I remember loving it and being blown away by the scope when playing it as wee lad
I will never forgive Capcom for never doing anything more with Mega Man Powered Up. I loved that game.
I'm mad at Konami for not releasing more Castlevania games on it. I mean, Dracula X is fine but it's ultimately an overhaul with 2 ports of pre-existing games.
Something like Dawn of Sorrow would've been great.
>overhaul
Rondo of Blood remake is actually a demake with cheap looking 2.5 graphics, a much worse soundtrack and no anime Dracula FMVs
I pretty much got it to unlock Rondo + SotN on the go.
But I remember being disappointed that they didn't release more original games because it was my portable of choice at the time.
Aside from Peace Walker the best Konami releases on PSP were the Twinbee/Parodius/Gradius/Salamander ports, most of these games came out when Konami was about to ruin every single one of their franchises starting from Silent Hill so yeah you shouldn't have expected much.
Castlevania was better on the DS
The battery consumption (Cameron Sino for 100x model) of my PSP is way too high when it's powered off, it lasts maybe 3 days before discharging completely. Why? Screen on time is normal, something around 3-4 hours, charging times are also normal.
Are you sure you're turning off the system completely or its just on standby?
Aside from that, I don't know. You might need to get it replaced.
Yeah, it doesn't matter if I
>remove the battery to cause a shutdown
>turn it off with the physical slider
>turn it off through CFW menu
they all have the same results.
>get it replaced
shit, i just did
Then it could be some faulty component within the psp. It happens sometimes, I remember a case where someone opened a unit and discovered that it was heating up some place near the battery.
How it got to that point is anyone's guess.
Did you overclock your system? Try the default clock rate
Ah yes the geat PSP game catalogue with hits like:
Lmao
>Ah yes the geat PSP game catalogue with hits like:
pretty much every PS1 game that matters + emulators or homebrew ports of shit like cave story + some cool anime games like monster hunter and dissidia
>pretty much every PS1 game that matters + emulators
Not PSP games
when the PSP is the only handheld device at the time that can play these games, they are effectively PSP games because only by getting a PSP can I enjoy them portable.
If you were 8 years old and too stupid to get homebrew on your PSP then yeah I can see it being pretty underwhelming if you aren't a huge weeb
Back in the day I was surprised you could even play FPS games on the go, not only with the psp but even on the ds.
Guess I had the assumption it was the most demanding kind of game. But PS2 ports were also impressive.
The performance was bad on a lot of psx games until later firmwares

literally every single PS1 game sans valkyrie profile, which got ported (it was the shitty og JP version without any of the USA qol changes, but still)
The wii is so nostalgic bros
I'm nostalgic for the era with the PSP, but not the PSP itself.
I guess it helps that I still have mine and play emulated games on it so it hasn't been gone from memory for a while.
The slimmer PSP was god tier, it's a shame Sony knee-capped it by denying so many games being brought over from Japan just because they were 2D or a remaster of a PS1 game.
It was also their stupid policies that prevented MHP3rd HD from being brought over.
>psp screen
>small
It has a 4.3 in or so screen, the og gameboy had a 2.6 or so.
Now we get devices that have 6-8 inch or more screens.
When did people stop giving a shit about the actual portability of handhelds?
I think a screen should be no bigger than the Vita's at maximum.
And that comment in OP's post is pretty accurate too, the PSP screen doesn't feel small when you're actually playing a game.
>When did people stop giving a shit about the actual portability of handhelds?
It started with the fricking Switch and it has only gotten worse.
You gays are old
24 is not that old
The PSP and Vita was where the last ounces of Sony's soul went to die.
the vita was soulless
Shut the frick up

The story of why I never bought a psp
It was a good system and even better when you hacked it
WTF your portable consoles actually fit in your pockets???
HOW???
Might hack my old PSP GO. Do SNES games run well on it?
>Do SNES games run well on it?
I've never had any issues with SNES titles. I think the early emulators were kind of shitty and that gave them a bad reputation but the latest versions run games fine.
Anything that’s not 64 bits should run just fine
are you fine with frameskipping and input lag?
its over
I loved playing Prinny on my PSP back in the day. Too bad the battery is dead now so i can only play with the charger plugged
I was born nostalgic for PSP. Many years before it even existed, I would have prophetic dreams about it bringing about an era of prosperity.
What was your 1st PSP game?
Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX. God, I sunk so much time into it.
Based, and same. So many hours spent in world tour, dramatic battle, and playing arcade mode over and over.
>alpha 3 max, guilty gear judgement, power stone collection
I'm pretty sure I only played multi-player versus maybe once, yet I've over 1,000 hours on fighting game single player alone through my psp.
Also,
Did you ever beat the Kumite? *WU TAH!*"
Pretty decent turn-based game. This was before I'd played Tactics.
Fate UC, TM Headon and Dissidia I purchased all at once.
Wipeout. I used to play it on my phone. I'm not nostalgic about PSP/DS yet since they're too "recent" in my mind, but I'm super nostalgic about old phones and Java games.
Ridge Racer and Lumines and not much else after that
Looking back on it, I shoul've made more use of it as a child.
So many games I missed out on...
It was an Assassin's Creed game that came with my White PSP. It was meh.
I played that. I remember you could connect it to AC2 on PS3 to unlock stuff.
Yeah, that was a selling point but i didn't have a PS3 so it was not useful to me.
I bought a PSP entirely because I thought gameplay footage of this game looked super cool and wanted to check it out - between this and twewy square was really killing it in 2008
A burnout game I played for ten minutes because it came with the used psp.
I played way more dbz ttt
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
I loved capcom shit back then so I bought megaman powered up. Don't regret it, I loved making levels for myself and my little brother to complete back then.
>people are getting nostalgic over protable no games and proprietary expensive SD cards
what a time to be alive
I have one with a pregnant battery in a drawer somewhere
Maybe its time to sling it to some zoomer at double what i paid for
I still have my OG psp 2000. It's funny, what I am nostalgic for is the method of hacking it. I remember the pandora battery trick, and was lucky to know a fellow anon I become friends with who helped hack my psp.
And then years later, that major PS3 hack which made CFW easy as pie. The psp was ahead of its time in terms of raw power and features. I put movies, music and roms on there as a kid.
There is only 1 thing that kills that machine for me, and that is the charger. Damn thing was so impractical to carry around. And when the PSP battery drained, you would constantly have to reset the date/time. Even charging from usb was awfully slow. But anyways, yeah, great fricking console.
I remember back then hacking all my younger siblings PSPs for them and I bought memory sticks for all of them and downloaded new games for them every couple of weeks. As a result my sister is nostalgic for a lot of random PSP games like Portable Ops Plus online. She used to play it everyday during the summer holidays from school.
The tiny buttons made my fricking thumbs hurt.
Anyone remember this? The story mode was surprisingly well made for a side game. I must have played it 3 or 4 times as a kid.
I never finished it...
Didn't this also have a vita version which kinda made the psp version irrelevant..?
It does have the best version of Final Fantasy IV.
Valkyria Chronicles 2 and 3 are also quite good.
This was the only game I wanted a PSP for, and despite everything I can't find it in myself to hate it
I used to work in an office during the summers back then (2006-2009) and the boss would hardly ever be there and never left me work to do. He just wanted me there to answer the phone basically. So I used to play so many random PSP games on my hacked PSP while I was at work. Getting paid to play games all day was based as a teenager.
>more expensive that DS
>proprietary storage, crappy screen
>One analog
>The majority of the PSP's catalog are only-jp, anime visual novels
>more complex homebrew, with DS you only need a R4
>with DS you need to buy dedicated hardware
>with PSP you...only needed an update package
>more expensive that DS
You could also play a multitude of other systems on it and not just DS games. Not to mention other multimedia capabilities.
>proprietary storage, crappy screen
You only need a mem. card if you're going to hack it. Wouldn't say the screen is crappy because DS screens can deteriorate over time and I haven't seen that on a PSP.
>One analog
Vs no analog on the DS.
>The majority of the PSP's catalog are only-jp, anime visual novels
The catalog is definitely its weakest side but not bad overall, and again this was before the notion of a portable PS1 around every corner.
>more complex homebrew, with DS you only need a R4
The homebrew is easy as piss.
I like both systems but you get more bang for your buck with a PSP and that's a fact.
The PSP could emulate DS titles (albeit shittily) shortly after its launch. For the time, this is a big flex by Sony.
>all things the 3DS is guilty of and Gankerintendo loves it
As if you ever needed proof this board has always been a shithole full of tendies.
It got a frickton of price cuts over the years, but it was selling so fricking much at some point sony cut its losses and just sold them for $199 well aware that the owners would just hack it ASAP. The storage wasn't quite proprietary, every single portable camera used those same SD cards. Having one analog doesn't even matter, literally only SOCOM and peace walker would have used it. Buying an R4 and just downloading games to it was infinitely easier, i'll give you that, but homebrew (you meant CFW) wasn't an issue as long as you had a three digit IQ.
*$149
>Having one analog doesn't even matter, literally only SOCOM and peace walker would have used it.
most people played monster hunter like this because the movement and camera were right next to eachother. I can see the logic of having the dpad and the stick next to eachother but it made a lot of games kind of awkward
>Having one analog doesn't even matter, literally only SOCOM and peace walker would have used it.
Why couldn't they add second stick to PSP Slim, they doubled the RAM in this model, so Sony wasn't against major hardware revisions. And most PSX games after relase of Dualshock were also playable on original PlayStation gamepad, so forcing developers to make games using second stick playable on systems without second analog stick shouldn't be too hard.
>more complex homebrew
You have never hacked a PSP.
>more expensive that DS
>more complex homebrew, with DS you only need a R4
isn't this a contradiction? the PSP could be homebrewed for free while DS was "buy this flashcart online for a bunch of money"
The dumbass was probably buying the sony branded 8GB memory sticks for $100.
>My PSP Battery is all swollen
I can just buy a new battery right? My PSP is going to live right? Give it to me straight.
Yup you can buy chink batteries online
Nice. I had an old extended batter that served me well. Time for a new one.
>it's another old people getting mad that younger people have nostalgia for things they don't thread
These threads make me embarrassed to be a millennial
Read the thread dumb dumb
I did. Why are millennials starting to act like boomers? I reject that but other millennials are starting to b***h about shit young people like and do. Who gives a frick about stupid shit zoomers like?
No you didn't. We're all nostalgic for the PSP here, because the fricking thing is over 20 years old. Just because you were a toddler when it came out doesn't mean the rest of us didn't grow up with it too, albeit a bit older.
The OP was mocking people nostalgic for it
And the rest of us told him to frick off, and got nostalgic for it. I'm a millennial who just kissed my 20s goodbye and I'm nostalgic for it, because I played it a shit ton in 5th and 6th grade up to middle school
1993s are truly the last millennials
Meh the PSP was never good
The Vita however was vastly underrated, way ahead of its time. Sony really fricked that console over.
Both are good but the PSP was more ahead of its time compared to the Vita.
Vita was simply more of the same but even better. Sony is responsible for its failure but it could've been one of the goats and I think the form factor is superior to modern day handhelds even currently.
Smartphones already existed when the Vita became a thing. PDAs could not compare to the power of a PSP.
I do think the Vita is optimal if you're interested in playing PSP games nowadays though.
The PSP had a LOT more than people like to give it credit for.
I just started playing this a few weeks ago, and holy shit is it good, and it's a crime nobody talks about
It's one of my favorites, but feels like it's mostly forgotten, also fairly certain that most 8bit hipsters never truly took much of a liking for it.
It was made exactly at the wrong time, when Capcom was flooding the market with BN games, which were a different genre entirely, and too early to cash in on the nostalgia boom
It never stood a chance.
It was fun, honestly liked it a lot more than MHX.
Also it's impressive that the servers were kept alive untill last year, gave the chance to download all the Roll outfits.
For what it's worth at least the psp was baller. I didn't even have one until I was an adult and my wife brought hers.
A 30-40 year old man came here and made a thread b***hing about what younger people enjoy.
So what? homie I'm 28 and i get nostalgic for the PSP too. Also
>nostalgia can only relate to your childhood
Then how am I nostalgic about Morrowind, which I played for the first time in my life just under a year ago?
>I'm 28
Do a Fortnite dance zoomie!
>1995-6 is a zoomer
moronic-kun...
Mf doesn't even remember the 90s
I thought it was "if you don't remember 9/11 you're a zoomer"
Millennials were already defined before 9/11 even happened. You gotta remember the turn of the millennium and not have been an infant. Otherwise we'd be calling people born in 1997 millennials because they remember 9/11.
fwiw i was born in late 95 and i don't remember 9/11, but i do remember watching cartoons in the morning as my older bro went to school in the late 90s.
>tfw Mr. Dressup gets turned off so we can watch a stupid plane fly into a tower
>Researchers and popular media use the mid-to-late 1990s as starting birth years
suffice to say if you were born after 1995 you'll never truly be a millennial
I'm nostalgic about old pornhub and xhamster
how about megarotic
I'm 34 this year and I have nostalgia for the PSP. Its not just a zoomer thing.

My PSP was an emulation Machine. I had like 10 different consoles represented on it. I was playing Sega CD games on that shit and was addicted to Popful Mail.
It should have been a ps2 portable and ps1 remaster device cause all the oc sucked
Meanwhile Valkyrie profile and ff tactics ports were the best games on the platform
The PSP was great as an SNES emulator. Irrelevant now with how many other options there are such as your phone or many dedicated devices, but back then being able to play classic SNES (with save states! Extremely convenient when you're on the plane or something) with buttons that seemed to be designed for that exact purpose was great. The ROM files were so small you could easily put a massive library on a memory stick.
i guess this is my call to get a felicia blue psp before prices skyrocket
Buy a vita instead, you can still get them for $100 and they're essentially a PSP 2.
The 3DS had a second anaog stick as an attachment, iirc it even launched with 3U, and people STILL used the claw.
>handheld console
>mp3 player
>movie player
>emulation machine

>in 2005
It was the first thing I bought with my first every paycheck. The only thing that could've made it better at the time would've been a camera.
Plot twist, screens that size don't feel small at all and you've been tricked into buying "HD" crap by marketers and useful idiots.

The PSP is how I ended up a programmer and why to this day I can live comfortably. I'll never forget that little device and learning about what it could do. The day I modded my PSP was the first day of me graduating to a real deal programmer and that knowledge has kept me paid, functional and happy into adulthood. Thanks to that little PSP I learned more about electronics than any of my friends. Thanks to that PSP I was able to help my best bud's dad get through two Afghanistan deployments without being bored. Thanks to that PSP I managed to create a functional business and make enough pocket change to support my electronics love. Thanks to that PSP I learned about an insane underground scene and learned about some crazy legends before they disappeared forever. Thanks PSP you were a damn good console and an even better educator.
I'll screencap this so we can read it at your funeral
You're very blessed, anon. The Vita got me into my passion hobby of tech analysis/learning about hardware because I was there at the right time as homebrew kicked off and there were overclocking plugins coming out. I spent a ton of time in ePSP mode too with TN-V when 3.18 was still the golden firmware before Henkaku came out. They're great little devices
Good
Here's all I have left of the old gals, my massive UMD collection is upstairs
I will never not have nostalgia for the original 1000 model. Mine probably won't boot anymore but I still have fond memories of it.
It will probably boot tbh. The biggest points of failure on these is the Analog stick, spring loaded UMD drive, and battery. In that order of likely failure. The main board is almost eternal. Screen burn in can also happen, but it's pretty easy to service.
The Dreamcast is essentially a nonentity. The PSP outsold it by a factor of almost 10. The Dreamcast while neat and forward thinking is firmly in the who the frick actually owned this category. Whereas the PSP had a lifespan much longer and contributed more to the modern console landscape by having features that became defacto standard.
Watch out for that battery anon.

Screen didn't feel small because the games were designed for it. Nowadays a handheld game is designed for multiplatform so the DPI is fricked on small screens. This is why theres a ton of complaints about switch games being unreadable or giving people headaches in handheld mode.

How long should my second hand vita battery last?
3 hours, if it lasts any less than that you need to swap it, though even a brand new battery won't last more than 5 and modding in a bigger one is a hassle.
Do PSP games look any good on Vita? I have a 3ds and a dsi xl, and the ds games look so dogshit and blurry on 3ds in comparison that it might as well not be backwards compatible
They look fine to me and also perform better, obviously.
I have the OLED vita instead of the LCD one though.
vita res is 2x psp, so games are sharp and cleanly upscaled.
on the XL boot them at 1x size. you can thank Nintendo for making the LEAP from 192p to 240p!!!
not the XL I guess. on the 3DS you'd be stuck at postage stamp size.
This thread fellates the PSP but spits on the Dreamcast. Frick all of you for having such abysmal tastes.
