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 :)

That it is a great handheld.

I’d recommend to check Cameron Sino batteries, they are often recommended as good aftermarket batteries.

As for games I recommend you the God of War Games, Patapon, Loco Roco and the Burnout games! If you are a fan of Dragon Ball you have some great games there 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.

I did not know adapters like that exist for MicroSD cards. Thank you!

This is the #1 most important tip lol
Those proprietary memory sticks were really expensive even when they were being actively manufactured, can’t imagine what they must cost now

I absolutely adored that game! Im not normally a turn based game person too but the characters in that game were so entertaining to me for some reason.

Now I gotta figure out how I can replay it

PSP emulation is solid! I just played through Crisis Core on my modded switch at 2x resolution.

This brings me back to plugging my PSP into my TV with the big component cable adapter to play that game. This thread is making me so nostalgic.

Mod it with a CFW and put a new battery!

That is all you need. The homebrew scene is amazing and so is this console.

I remember back when I had my 3004 mystic silver and messed around so much with CFW, I wouldn’t be surprised if my love for tinkering was significantly due to it :D

I still love the plugin architecture of its OS. The entire device is very well designed from ground up and is really easy to develop for (even without an actual SDK).

It’s no wonder why the homebrew scene was so good.
