I was very lucky to find an almost good-as-new PSP 2000 locally. I am very excited about it! It will need a new battery though and it only came with an USB charger. Would appreciate any tips pertaining chargers and batteries. But if you have any gaming related suggestions or general tips I’m open for that too :)
Get yourself a microSD to Ms pro duo card, and hack the shit out of it!
Also official batteries aren’t made anymore as far as I know, so just find yourself a battery from a reputable source. Mind your model number if you do.
do not eat it
My own recommendation: mod it, this way you can download and play any PSP game you want, also de PSP is able to run PS1 games natively so yep, you can also play the PS1 library (with a few exceptions).
You can also install homebrews or even retroarch. It’s a magnificient console to play retro games on the go.
For me, the psp and the psvita are ones of the best handleds out there. Perfect size and so much to play!
I have so many fond memories of playing my modded PSP. Everything from NES ROMs, to PS1 native emulation or Crisis Core, I even used it as an MP3 player with an aux cable in my car before there were better solutions, or watching Futurama on my breaks at work. Back in the day there was no single device that could do all of this. Even now it’s so comfortable and the buttons feel so great compared to newer handhelds, so I just replaced the battery and started replaying Puzzle Quest.
Nothing to add except calling the PSP retro made me feel old.
Oh, shit, look. My favorite emulation station and second favorite console.
