Some kind viewers have sent me the iPSP portal files! Much appreciated from you guys.
I would love to see it in action :D
I'm sure we would all love to see a separate vid of it!
Fuck yeah I was wondering about this
They probably used the wayback machine for it.
I have some iphone game on my psp i got from a homebrew pack that looks almost exactly like the portal but it can use the full power of the psp
The PSP Go had an official dock (they're stupidly expensive now) where you can dock it and it'll output to the tv, like the component cables on the 2000 and 3000, but the Go had bluetooth so you could bluetooth your ps3 controller and play on your couch. It was quite literally the Switch before the Switch.
i still amaze by this feature till now, like how a device that realesed almost a decade ago has that feature. and yes, the dock is so expensive rn..
how much is it?
Actually the psp go uses the same port for charging and connecting to the tv, the dock just lets you do both at the same time
@@that_one_goose2003 around 180$
Ok not switch before the switch
Still can't believe how badly sony screwed the PS Vita up, after the PSP being what it was.
In my opinion, they didn't screw up the Vita. It was a bit ahead of its competitors in terms of hardware, and even today the Vita still has more features than the Switch. It was just the wrong time for this little gem.
@@roqpir and there wasnt enough good exclusive games for the vita.
Low Capacity (4 Gigabytes) would have made it at least tolerable enough to live a full enough lifecycle before it got slaughtered by the Rise of the 3DS.
@@roqpir I think the problem was price
@@roqpirNo. They definitely screwed up with that rear touchpad and proprietary memory card.
the PSP here in Brazil was an incredible success, everyone had a psp with the most varied homebrews you can imagine, it was a beautiful time
Os portateis aqui no Brasil fizeram muito sucesso por conta do homebrew, tenho um PSP, Vita, DS Lite e 3DS com todo tipo de Emulador possivel kkk
Não sei de onde que todo mundo tinha psp, isso era brinquedo de rico...
Yeah! i literally have my PSP to be fixed here in my town, the same one i got in the 2012.
@@BrunoHsdc de certa forma sim, poderia se conseguir um por uns 400-450 reais em 2012, 2013. Foi o valor que paguei
Ainda tenho o meu psp 3000 comprado em 2013, nao vendo por nada e nunca deu problema
The thing with the optical disk, or UMD disk as they are called, is that Sony did not want to distribute games on flash cards, or memory cards, as these were quite expensive back then and an optical disc was way cheaper. This was really remarkable from Sony to manage to shrink down a CD drive to that size and making the media more durable in the housing it came with.
No kidding. Have you seen the prices of what a 1GB or 2GB MSPRO stick cost back then? let alone... FOUR Gigabyte? And the PSP could only use Sony's expensive proprietary format and nothing else. So you had no options. Getting a Memory Stick would set you back as much as buying 1-2 games back then. The tiny 64MB MSPRO Duo stick you got with the PSP was just enough to at least save your savestates.
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 =THANKFULLY THERE LOTS OF STUFF CAME AROUND QUITE SOON,BUT STILL...
=BUT THE MAIN PROBLEM OF BOTH PSP AND VITA WAS..... *_THEY WERENT EQUIPPED WITH CELLPHONE MODULES_* ,THAT COULD'VE BE THE REAL SUCCESS HAVING NOTHING WITH FAIL OF N GAGE
..........AT LEAST WHEN VITA CAME AROUND I DIRECTLY MENTIONED THAT THIS WILL BE A FAILURE BECAUSE OF LACKS OF CAPABILITY OF MAKING CALLS,SO ALSO IT'S A MUST TO HAVE A SMARTPHONE IN A POCKET TOO
=AND THESE TOO EXPENSIVE MEMORY CARDS SHOULD VE TO BE NORMAL SD'S AND MICRO SD'S AS WELL......
..........IF ONLY.....SONY WOULD'VE TO RELEASE VITA WITH ABILITY TO MAKE PHONE CALLS,AND ABILITY TO ACTUALLY USE MICROSD..............IT WOULD VE TO BE A GAME CHANGER
=OF COURSE MAIN GAMES SHOULD'VE TO BE ON DISCS.........LIKE PSP BUT BLU RAY........WITH POSSIBILITY TO PLAY ORIGINAL PSP DISCS AS WELL...........AND GAMES MUST'VE TO BE OF SO HUGE SIZE,SO NO INTENTION TO PUT A PIRATED GAME ON MICRO SD TO BE AT FIRST PLACE.....YUP........OF COURSE INDIES TO BE DOWNLOADABLE TO A CARD,BUT AAA PROJECTS ONLY ON DISCS..............THAT'S HOW EVEN THEORETICAL PIRACY WOULDNT DO ANYTHING
=AND I WAS HAVING LOTS OF OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY GET BOTH PSP AND VITA,BUT..........HAVING TO ACTUALLY TAKING 2 DEVICES IN 2 POCKETS.............WAS REAL KILLING FEATURE
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 kinda off-topic question, does the psp require a special SD card or can i pick any SD card and use it on the psp like a phone SD card and like that
@@therealhussein it needs a specific memory card. but you could also buy a PSP Pro Duo micro SD adapter so you could use a regular micro SD card on your PSP.
@@therealhussein No it requires a Memory Pro Duo Stick. HOWEVER.... there are micro SD card adapters for Memory Stick Duo slots. I have one like that and added it to my Firmware hacked PSP so now i could add incredible storage size at a reasonable price for my PSP. However back then these adapters did not exist and Micro SD was not around yet.
The PSP was wildly popular in the Philippines at the time, to the point that most cellphone repair shops offer jailbreaking and sideloading services for less than a UMD's worth, and that pickpockets would actually prefer nabbing a PSP over a DS. The PlayStation brand power combined with its media capabilities made it even more impressive if not for the Nintendo portable juggernaut especially with Pokemon.
PSP was so popular at the time in asian countries, my family had one but it FOR SOME REASON broke.
yeah, after gba psp takeover handheld console
@@G_Fantastic especially in japan, where it was made.
I agree, it was of the best back in the day. I had two classmates from HS that kept flaunting their PSP during recess and lunch break. I even remember malls selling pirated copies of the games for less than a 100 pesos. Even bundling it with the memory cards being sold back then. Fun times, pero tangna kupal yung isang classmate ko noon na may PSP pinag aambag kami nung nasira niya yung kanya kami daw nakasira eh hindi niya nga pinapahiram iyon sa amin hahaha.
Yea I remembered
My favorite part of PSP modding were the trainers that were developed. Especially for the GTA series. It was so much fun modding the game WHILE IT WAS RUNNING! Stealing a car and then putting 34" rims on it to do your mission was the best.
cheat device!!!!!!!!
Fun fact there was an early downgrade hack using the same technique that these trainers used for GTA. I hacked my version 2.70 PSP back in 2007 using an exploited GTA save which allowed downgrading to 1.50. Those were the days man. I fucking loved my PSP.
I loved this so much back in the day. I especially remember using LCS Cheat Device to place down shipping containers to create ramps, jumps and bridges. I also have fond memories of raising the water level and then flying through the city in a helicopter, landing on building rooftops as if something apocalyptic had happened to the city.
Edison Carter was the goat
@Trey Brown damn man those were the days
I remember playing COD Zombies on my psp. The homebrew community had a HUGE amount of content. Lots of maps, guns, I even remember one with a boss fight. Such good memories
They just ported it to 3ds, pretty weird with no c stick or ZL/ZR button support yet but still cool proof of concept
Where can i download cod zombie on psp?..
@@rythmnarnia3377 I can tell you
@@rythmnarnia3377 The homebrew COD zombies is called nazi zombies portable. its very watered down compaired to other consoles and pc versions, but it was a pivotal part of my childhood, its recently gotten a reboot in the past few years aswell.
@@liviflame4958 Nazi Zombies Portable is still in active development, by the way, a new build just came out two days ago.
i explored every inch of my psp inside and out. every mod, emulator, and themes. i also took apart my psp countless times to do LED mods by wiring LEDS to the speakers and imbedding the LEDS into the L and R bumpers since they were transparent. i removed the UMD drive and cut a hole on the UMD door to add an additional Speaker that fit perfectly within the silver circle on the disk door. i was about 13-14 years old doing all this. god those were the good times.
So are you like in the electrical engineering industry now? Lol
I'm feeling you as I have managed to keep my OG PsP 1000 alive by replacing basically everything from the board down to the power switch tab that I broke off being dumb replacing the wifi wire. I don't play it as much anymore, but when it came out I was working at EBGames and bought the #2 when it launched and actually wasnt able to pay my rent that month because of it.
Looking back now I don't regret a thing as my lil monster allowed me internet, movies, games, music, and SOCOM Multiplayer with the proprietary headphone mic that sadly has now fallen apart due to its age.
LED Shoulder lights and a transparent case was all the rage for me.
Just ordered a brighter LCD display just for when...ya know...something breaks. haha.
How many analog pots have you burned through up until now should be a question for any PSP vet to know!
😢 I did the same thing! I learned to code and mod. It was so much fun. I'm in my 30s now and I lost my touch with technology.
Back then I had time, loads of it. Now I work and raise family
@@thegoober8797story of my life here’s to trying to get back into it 🤣 got myself another psp to reminisce on the good old days.
Underrated youtube channel, keep it up dude, you'll keep growing if you keep pushing quality content out
Great video!
I have fond memories of being a kid and just messing with homebrews and lua scripting, changing the boot video and completely customizing the theme and menus, creating my own eboot files of ps1 games or ripping my own ISOs. Piracy/hacking (and the homebrew scene to an extent) gets a bad rep, but I'm currently finishing my masters in computer science and I just wanted to say that the PSP and all the crazy stuff you could do with it, ignited my passion for learning stuff about computers, and are a big reason why I chose this path.
Hell yea, been modding my portables since 2008l and never stopped. PSP, PSVita, NDS, 3DS, Switch. It's a cool field to get into, however this year has given us some amazing emulation handhelds that have decent power in them. I got a Retroid Pocket 3+ and I can play psp games at 2 to 3x resolution on it. It's like a remaster of psp games! Thanks for the trip down nostalgia lain.
I just play PSP games on my modded switch
The PSP was one of the quintessential consoles of my childhood. I played the shit out of my PSP. I especially loved crisis core final fantasy, flat out head-on, and dissidia final fantasy. I too was sad when the PS Vita became hot garbage. But now that they remade crisis core final fantasy for the switch. I think I know what I'm going to be buying next. You know, when I have the money.
man, PSP was great, i played on psvita for a bit. but it stopped being active. so i moved on. but i played Borderlands 2, persona, uncharted, etc and those were the perfect showcase imo i wish sony would make another handheld and ARM cpus are just getting more and more powerful.
The Flat Out Head-On demo was a great discovery on the early PSN store.
@@natype YES!! BACK WHEN I DIDNT KNOW HOW TO MOD CONSOLES!
Yes! Crisis Core was amazing on PSP!
Steamdeck is the new PSP )))
First time watching your channel and surprised by the amount of subscribers. You have a great editing style, commentary, and production quality. Keep it up!
Man this vid floods a lot of nostalgia I had with my PSP back in the day. Mods even back then were crazy. Time to pull my PSP out of my electronics junk drawer to play it again!
Awesome vid. Definitely loved playing PS1 games back in the day on my PSP. Loved running FF7 on long ass school trips.
This brought back so many memories of my freshman year in high school. A friend in my biology class had a friend who knew how not soft mod the psp. Keep in mind this was 2007 when the soft mod still required pandoras battery so I was so excited to finally be able to mod mine. I played so many “backups” and emulators on that console.
Also, haven’t thought about those web portal things in ages! I had an iPhone one the windows xp one. Amazing times.
you just brought back some great memories for me by mentioning the pandora battery. i messed up my battery in those early days trying to make one. had to play with the ac connected for a while before getting a new battery and never trying again 😂
@@jamskaterpete lol we did the same. My cousin had heard about it and really wanted to try it, and his battery was crapping out anyway. Needless to say we ruined it and we split the cost of a new battery for him since I felt bad also being a part of the damage. Luckily after getting mine hacked, it was easy to soft mod a battery into a pandora and turn it back.
If the psp had a second analog stick for camera control it probably would be the greatest handheld of all time (relative to it's time).
I have never been able to find a concrete reason why there wasn't one and it hindered so much of its potential omitting it.
from what i heard its due to cramping issues, dunno if there hands were too big etc. but a 2nd analogue stick would basically open its market to fps.
ps vita
@@Nitro2275if the vita had triggers it would be the greatest handheld of all time
@@socio637 It does if you have a hundred bucks to drop on the Hori remote play assistant or whatever the knock off ones cost these days, Just don't expect the knock off's to last long.
@@socio637very late, but you can get cases that give it triggers
i dont even remember subscribing to your page, that said I have enjoyed your videos. I like the structure and information you provide especially in this one. Brought back some fond memories that compels me to get another psp when I see one.
I absolutely loved the UMD media design.
Love that you're showing the PSP some love. I upgraded to a Vita and the homebrew scene for that is insane. The best part is Adrenaline for Vita will let you have a hacked version of the PSP inside the Vita. All of the homebrew works perfectly on it.
I got my psp in 2012, and I still use it when I go to places I don't have my consoles and pc. It's just a blast to play it everytime! Not to mention the emulation capabilities of this beast.
I got one recently and I love how simple it is to mod it, one file and BAM, now it can homebrew
I've been running that thing since the beginning. One of my favorite consoles ever. It was everything form my music player to emulation station
Thank you so much for showing some of the web browser based stuff, brought back a lot of good memories. I remember spending so much time on the "Windows Vista" one thinking it was so cool back in the day.
0:07 thankyou for rememberingme this masterpiece.
hey man nice video. I like the editing for sure. I've been playing Wipeout Pure on the go and enjoyed the footage especially since your were using my main.
I love the PSP, I've still got a Slim, but my go to for PSP gaming urges is my Go. It fits in my pocket, I can use my Bluetooth headphones with them, and it still looks brand new even after so long.
I remember the tiff exploit, now that was one of the hacking methods that blew my mind back then.
In 2005 this device blew my mind into pieces. I didn't get my own until a few years later, 17 years later and I still LOVE my psps
I gotta be honest, I missed the entire PSP modding scene in that era. I "left" sony after my mini disk player and PS1. I played Nintendo, Xbox, and PC after that because most of the titles I was interested in were on those systems. I find myself more gravitating to SNES, GameCube, and select WiiU titles personally. Because I "missed the boat" I find myself VERY comfortable emulating on High end Android and the steamdeck because GameCube and PS2 are very accessible. I need to get back to the PS2 library a bit particularly in the case of shadow of the colossus. ALL of that being said, I can appreciate that the PSP was in many ways the "steamdeck" of it's era when it comes specifically to console emulation and portable gaming. It really shook up the space and was far more versatile than most of Nintendo's offerings. All of this makes me sad that sony left the space after the VITA, but if you look at the handheld market right now it's EXPLODING with every brad looking to get into the action. The SteamDeck, the Switch, the Logitech G-Cloud, the AYN Odin, OneXplayer, GPD Win 3 & 4... and on the low end Anbernic, Miyoo, Powkiddy, and many others contribute to an amazing space and I am constantly excited to see what is next.
Can't forget about the analogue pocket.
@@Zark-Muckerberg It's like an apple product. Amazing design & premium feel, VERY overpriced. The Miyoo Mini does what the pocket can do and you could buy nearly 4x minis for the price of one Analogue Pocket. Software emulation performance is not perfect, but it's SO close that it's nearly a wash. I would say it's good competition for premium original hardware moded consoles but NOT from a price to performance perspective. Also if you wanted a "premium" handheld gaming experience you could easily step up to something like the Anbernic RG353m and get MORE power, hall sticks, and an aluminum shell OR go price to performance again and grab a RP3+ or RG505. RG353, RG505, and RP3+ ALL are under $200 and give you WAY more than the Analogue. I struggle to recommend the Analogue pocket to anyone except people who MUST have FPGA.
Great handheld tbh I remember receiving one of this as a birthday gift from my aunt overseas. She sent me her daughter's used FAT ver. PSP back in 2009. I immediately googled how to run emulators on it scowering various emulation forums, reading instructions, contacting various forum members, downloading various files roms, while renting a computer at our local computer shops. Fun times.
Funny video man. You've got yourself a subscriber!
I had a slim silver PSP and then one day my dad found a PSP Go at his job and gave it to me. I loved that thing while on a ride home on the bus. I home brewed my original PSP by the time I had the Go so naturally I immediately did the same to it.
i didn't know i have a PSP damn
Dude, what a great video.
This deserves way more views. Bravo ❤️
Ok not gonna lie
This editing is fire 🔥🔥🔥
PSP and the Homebrew was my high school experience. Everybody was fucking around with that thing. Good times.
I remember the dark Alex firmware and the Pandora battery. Being able to play emulators. I love PSP.
the OG xbox also has a spot on my heart. my first console, and i still love it, although haven't played with it for ages (mainly because i can't connect to my monitor lol)i reeally like your style and humor, you just got another subscriber :D
This video has inspired me to be on the look out for a PSP. I'm gettin' those gamer urges big time.
Seeing Master Chief get shredded by two shamblers from Quake in mere seconds warms my heart
Absolutely loved this video. I can safely determine we’re about the same age haha. Favorite PSP memory of mine is more of a cumulative one than something specific. My dad got my brother and I MGS Portable Ops mid-late 2008. We were both early teens at the time. That game was our first online gaming experience and - as corny as this sounds - sorta shaped the trajectory of our lives thereafter. On top of playing the game for the following 4 years, we met people, I learned how to make websites for clans and stuff, that introduced me to more people and communities, etc etc. My teens were literally formed into what they were due to the PSP, and truthfully the only reason I shelved mine was because I finally got my Steam Deck back in July. Ol faithful is still under lock and key however, for when I get a “gamer urge” and don’t wanna take a whole travel bag to do so!
definitely my whole child hood in 14 mins defiantly earned my sub when you started talking about the web browser and having the iPhone on the PSP I remember I doing all this growing up
and i may have that iphone tweakon my old sd have to check
It's my first time coming across you with this video and I loved it!
I remember finally figuring out how the wifi worked as a kid and playing the gta multiplayers and peace walker multiplayer, great times
This is awesome stuff. I still believe that the PSP is the best handheld of all time and stuff like this is a big reason why. I picked the PSP over the DS back in the day and I'm still glad I made that choice even all these years later. I will always love the PSP for what it was capable of back in 2005 and what it can still do in 2022 and beyond.
Sure man and the price ,psp can have such high end graphic games like god of war ghosts of sparta, assassin's creed bloodlines, gta vice city stories, spiderman 3 ,meanwhile you can rarely find even a proper open world game in ds And 3ds combined
Even today the best way to emulate PS2 games on lower end systems is to use the PSP versions. It's awesome.
@@lolam9878 I've had all those games but i sold them akseped god of war Ghost of sparta
@@lolam9878 the PSP is good but don't compare it to Nintendo. The DS can do more than it looks
Love the PSP. It has my favorite racing game of all time on it. Ridge Racer on the PSP is so freaking fun. I found out a few years ago that there was a Ridge Racer 2 on the system that it only came out in...EU maybe? Hard to remember at this point. Anyway, bought it on ebay and found out that it is pretty much the EXACT same game as the first with 1 or 2 new cars and different music. I don't even remember if it had new tracks. Laziest sequel ever. I couldn't have been happier. More of what I love.
Thanks for the video! It brought back memories of people like Dark Alex.
I still have my PSP with custom firmware (can't recall which one). Not sure whether it needs a replacement battery.
I remember sitting on the floor of my bedroom with a butter knife and pencil, making my own pandora battery. Custom themes, emulation, etc... Exciting stuff at the time, lol.
I found my side of youtube again :) loved my fat psp back in the day, it was way more robust than the slim version of my sibling, the disc opening was so flimsy xD. i remember to play hot wheels, killzone liberation, nfs most wanted 510, sport games, and many more , i still have all of them somewhere, maybe one day I give modding a shot :) awesome video !
You just got a new subscriber bro!
When you said how Sony had a much simpler goal on mind, "turn this into that" with the PS2 and GBA posted on screen that did it for me bro, thank you so much for the laughs, and nostalgia trip!
The T-Mobile hotspot compatibility feature was nifty.
I used my psp for everything. Music, games, videos, internet access...it was essentially a smartphone before smartphones were a thing. You're right, it could still hold its own today as an EDC.
The more I get into console modding the more I regret not holding onto my older consoles. Great video, you've inspired me to pick up a PSP
Guy who haves a mobile phone and emulate everything

Do you are have stupid?
1. feeling is worse 2. nostalga wise nonexistent

if youre like me you grew up experiencing the hype of nintendo handhelds. sony was the only one to compete with that. the cfw era was crazy. this thing was so ahead of its time. the web browser itself was insane. this is before everybody had a smartphone in their pocket...man the memories
Yeah, I remember Tekken 6 on the PSP, it blew me away. I already had Tekken 5: Dark Ressurection, but having the newest title on that thing, was just amazing.
Thankyou, this really helped
BRO THIS VID IS SO TRUE AND COOL LOVE YOUR CONTENT MAN
The PS Vita has a mod called Adrenaline which runs the entire PSP firmware and lets you emulate and run all the homebrew apps. I'm pretty sure it runs natively and it's really great to have a second analog stick.
Jetstream Sam Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Terraria Calamity mod
I was actually super big into emulation for the PSP back in high school with the Pandora's battery and the magic memory stick. My favorite thing about the PSP is when it came out it wasn't able to actually run PlayStation 1 games, Sony didn't think you could emulate the PSX successfully until modders. Designed a custom file system known as the eboots, Sony ended up stealing the idea and just threw it on the PlayStation Network. After a while. It was the first time I saw the power of homebrew and modders outshine the manufacturers
Wait what?
I thought the ps1 emulator was added to the firmware (which used eboots), then modders figured out the format of eboots and how to make their own from ps1 games.
such a breath of fresh air to see a channel like this not tip toe around piracy like most other channels do
gotten to the point where the game companies are telling you that you cant own anything and like it. that and the majority of titles released today are just shells of what the developers original vision. i hope this trend gets corrected.
great video man!
If you ever want to get into PSP homebrewing, I highly recommend getting an SD Card to Memory Stick converter. The Memory Stick is very limited, and you can get much more data for cheaper by going with this method. Same applies to the vita, though it is a bit more esoteric due to reasons such as "I am too tired to give a guide on this right now"
there are installers ready to go if you put Hen on your Vita. YAMT driver I think it's called, you just use that and an SD2Vita that fits in your game card and contains an SD Card of your choosing, and voilà!
didn't the PSP used to have issues accessing more than 12gb of Data off of the Memory sticks? Is that something fixed with "newer" custom firmware? I remember my brother bought me a 16gb Memory stick and it kept corrupting stuff when I tried to use it, and back when I googled it at the time, it said PSP's would corrupt data on any sticks larger than 12gb
@@MrPerson61Yes this was an issue.
When I was a kid a friend of my sister had a PSP, and when they said they could use Google search on it I was amazed since no handhelds at the time could really do that and certainly no game consoles, but the PSP was the first I became aware of to allow real online access.
The PSP was such a beast back in the day. The console is still so fun to come back to that I still take it with me on every vacation I take and I actually stopped bringing my Switch because I never use it when my PSP is around.
Funny enough I know everything what was mentioned in this video but still watched it till the end. This soft jailbreak with tennis game CD brings so much nostalgia. If not this mode don't know what I would be doing on my 2 hour commuter train back in the day.
I also still believe the PSP to be a modern marvel. Only issue I had with it was the removable storage. I have broken so many of these on accident
PSP was way ahead of it's time, can't believe Sony never worked on it more
Think i found my new favourite youtuber..amazing work.. earned a subscriber good sir
I need to buy a new digitizer/screen and see if I can bring my old psp 3000 back to life. You just reminded me of lots of good memories.
I loved the UMD discs and thought it was amazing that I could carry movies around with me to watch. These days though I am a bit of a heretic as I don't think the PSP is the best way to play PSP games any longer.
Yooooo you just made me remember that I had the first Spider-Man movie on a UMD lol. And to be honest, with what emulators can do with 60fps patches and upscaling, the quality of life improvement of playing PSP games on things that aren't PSPs is significant.
You can even rip the UMD movie discs, store them on the memory stick and watch them on your PSP
I remember custom firmware also allowed you to adjust CPU speed too. The default was 222mhz and you could increase up to 300mhz (if my mind recollects it correctly). Some games ran much better in terms fps and loadings were shorter. Some games had to run on default clock speed though. Nonetheless, overclocking gave me an edge when playing action intensive games.
Dark Alex and the M33 custom firmware team were so awesome. My PSP still has the last custom firmware they released.
333Mhz do be specific ;) The chip itself was allways capable of that speed, but in the early days Sony limited the Speed to 222Mhz for all games in order to squeeze more battery life out of it, they liftet this restriction during the lifespan and later more demanding games used 333Mhz by default. However, its indeed a great function to eliminate some stuttering, especially on earlier PSP games.
@@Ashitaka0815 I kept at 300 in order not to use the process at the maximum power. Max power in any electrical component does kill the lifespan.
@@ErkanMehmedali that's basically true, but the CPU is designed for that speed, it's not like overclocking to an unsupported clockspeed where the chips aging would be accelerated drastically. Even when running at full 333Mhz, it's more likely that any other component like capacitors, buttons or the display will go out way sooner.
Man, I learned how to make eboot files for the ps1 emulator that was on there. I even learned which files to change to make the icon on the psp’s xmb change (I made a bad little “logo” that was whatever my online name was at the time) but I remember ripping every single disc from my ps1 library. I also had a home brew app that let me use the psp as a game pad for my pc, and of course I had to put doom on it. Good times.
first time watching your vidio and the intro was so fireee
I did a battery mod on my psp. Its awesome. Removed the UMD drive and put in a cell phone battery. Charges super slow bc of the size but it lasts forever.
Do you think you might try and make a slim and quiet original Xbox?
Already in progress
Oh man, that point about Lamecraft and Pokemon GBA really got to me! the PSP was the console I first experienced both those games in
I was not expecting an intro that epic
It's hard to imagine a day when you could actually let your kids at that age wander around in the mall without too much to worry about.
Shiddd you still can. Ain’t nobody at the mall anymore. They’re on the internet. That’s where I’m concerned about my son wondering around lol
That day was already long gone by the 2000s. I wasn't alive before the 2000s myself. However, abduction and the like have been common since at least post-World War II.
@@blackwrits Well, I was a 90s kid. It existed to an extent then. My parents would leave me in the arcade/game/toy store to wander freely but I wasn't really "suppose" to leave. And that was mainly because cell phones weren't a thing then and they didn't want to have to go looking for me. Today, I wouldn't take that risk even with today's cell phones. Watching this broght back a lot of nostalgia, sad how the times have changed in America. I have family overseas and there it's safe, but unfortunately not in the "good ol USA"
Still have my psp since13 years. Never regretted buying it. Still actively playing and enjoying every moment of it. Love that thing to bits. ❤
I grew with a DS but I picked up a PSP recently for my birthday and I’m still amazed about the amount of features that the PSP had over the DS. Especially with Homebrew, it’s just more straightforward than DS/3DS modding and I’m still trying to find more ways to mod it now
Great video 💪
My uncle gave me his old PSP because I always loved playing on it when I was younger. My clearest memory is when I went through the SD card and found some old photos of him and his daughter when he'd just gotten it, along with a bookmark that somehow survived the system reset that lead to "naughty places." I was 15 and had no idea what I was looking at for a second, really soured my day.
same with the umd prying... still have that original ridge racer umd and it still works to this day :)
Got mine in 2011, still have it and use it. Greatest portable console.
Had a broken UMD of a Tomb Raider game, fixed it by snapping open the Demo Disc that came with the PSP and putting the disk in that casing worked great somehow.
Even with a 3DS and Switch Lite I still enjoy picking up the PSP and rocking it out from time to time.
Nice Intro.I love my PSP cince the first day
Gosh. I remember the days. Had a PSP 2000. Was the best hand held console I’ve ever had. Just did more.
I remember having to soft mod my psp because the disk drive stopped working and I couldn't afford a new psp at the time. This also enabled me to play some Japanese games that were very popular in my friend group at the time. Kinda miss it.
I live in Brazil, where games are too expansive. So, I bought a PSP in 2006 or 7 ad had a lot of good memories with it. The emulators let me play a lot of games that I didn't have access, nowadays I have a PSP, where I love to play Disgaea, Initial D and some emulators like SNES and GBA. Great video.
i love your videos ,i sub + thumb up !
I love how I run into this video a mere 2 days after I picked up a like new white psp go for $70 a blue 2000 for $30 and a broken 1000 for $25, growing up the PSP was my favorite, throughout my young years I owned like 6 different ones, and I recently decided to start collecting/ get into the homebrew scene with the go I picked up.
Absolutely agree, dumping the UMD's and just using those on the memory card was way better. I played Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep with a friend who used the UMD, the difference in performance and loading the game was night and day.
Love the PSP, was a very fun and neat portable console.
Your delivery reminds me of NakeyJakey (compliment), awesome video
Last year I bought a refurbished PSP to emulate games and play my totally legal definitely legit copies of GOW.
Running custom firmware on your PSP in the mid-2000’s (pre-iPhone) was like having a super power, very few people at school had a PSP let alone running custom firmware that could do all kinds of neat stuff.
Gotta say man, love the intro!
Oh my god that pirate skit was so funny I cried laughing and showed all my coworkers at work that hahah
