    Man, i still remember my late dad coming up to me while I was watching TV and said "do you want the new Playstation? And what games do you want?". Fast-forward to later that night, he bought me a PSP and the game was Medievil: Ressurection, and the date of purchase was 6/6/06, so quite ironic! I still have it along with the console's box.
    Thanks dad, I hope to see you again someday ❤️.

    Don't forget that you can also compress PSP games from iso to cso without any downsides such as longer loading times. That can shave down the filesize tremendously. I'm talking anywhere between 10% - 80% less space required per game. There's a tool simply called PSP iso compressor that can do this.

    Looking at the PSP Go, always reminds me of the Xperia Play, and I wish that the smartphone had actually succeeded, because having your phone act in as your handheld was a very innovative idea at the time, but the way Sony handled it wasn't well because it was pretty pricey, and did not have the specs to back it up as you could just get a Galaxy Note, which was way better and buy a bluetooth gamepad for a far better experience, but nonetheless nowadays we have things like the ROG Ally or the ROG Phone series, so there is proof that this market has always existed and there is demand for it, but the problem is that its not very affordable which is they are not big successes.

    I just installed this mod over the weekend, I ended up just downloading random games or ones I might know by name only, to fill the SD. Also, you will need a router that supports older security connection types, I created a hidden guest network on WEP security and it worked just fine with PKGi. You should make a video on the battery mod with the new back cover, the battery on the PSP Go lasts nothing, even less if you've used it for a while now. The PSP is an amazing console, a must have for anyone.

Now I have PSP-3000 Silver, PSPGo White, and 4 Vitas. The best is the PSP 1000 but after the third one was stolen, I accept that the universe just doesn't want me to have a 1000 model 😂

    i managed to get one of those crazy deals you only ever read about online a few weeks ago. FB marketplace, picked up a PSP Go with a dead battery and no charge cable for $10. another $40 later, it has a new battery, usb charge cable, and that m2 to micro sd card adapter. there's a scratch on the screen that i'm going to try to buff out with plastic polish, but a replacement isn't too expensive. i only ever had a psp 1000 when i was younger, then i picked up a Vita for a good price over the summer, but this is my first Go. a larger screen would be nice, but i really do like the form factor, it's a pocket console that actually fits in a pocket. the button layout feels nice, and the bluetooth audio is a great touch. my only gripe is that the wifi card will not talk to my network.

    There is also a mod where you can replace the battery with a PSVita battery and it will last a lot longer. The only drawback is it’s a 3d printed back and makes the console a little thicker but I thinks it worth it.

    Personally, I prefer the Vita for playing PSP and PSone games. Many first person shooters on PSP mapped the looking buttons to the face buttons, you can map them to the Vita's right analog stick for a more natural feel. And for PS1 games that use the L2 and R2 triggers, you can use attach a Vita trigger grip and play it as intended.

      For what? Nintendo has always covered that need very well. Sony has no interest in going for the portable market again. Not when they’re still leading the home console market. Too much risk in exchange for virtually negligible profits, at best. It’s the same reason why Nintendo never developed powerfull home consoles to compete with Sony and Microsoft since the Game Cube. No problem admiting their limitations but also proving successful with their own business model.

    Nice, a friend of mine has a Go that this would go well with. I been modding PSPs since the old days, back when you had to convert a specific battery into the exploit method. I still have a 1000 & 2000 somewhere, but I went over to the Vita a few years back. I even bought a second JP Vita to mess around with, but I never got the chance. A few months after I bought it the thing just kept power cycling like it was possessed until I killed the battery.
    I hadn't done anything to it, just verified it worked and signed into it before accidentally leaving it in the sleep mode for a few weeks on my shelf. I tried asking a subreddit about it but most of them just downvoted & talked shit. It's still just sitting on my shelf today, I'm thinking one of the boards needs to be replaced considering there's a chip/crack on one edge of the shell where I'm assuming it had been dropped, it came like that. Thankfully my original US Vita is still a-ok and fully cfw'd...

    the main problem i've found with having massive amounts of storage on a psp is that some games just straight up don't like it, and will complain that you don't have enough space to create a save file, outrun 2006 does this
    the (bandaid) solution i've found was to create a save file for the offending games in an emulator like PPSSPP, then copy it over to the psp and it'll read and write to the save files just fine

    The PSP (every revision) was far ahead of its time when it came out. I remember my mom gifting me this as an early birthday present to have it carried with me when we were in a hotel in Turkey for 2 weeks and she drove to some oldschool games store in a town nearby to have the guy mod it for me (back then you needed a "pandora battery" to install custom Firmware).
    I had a blast playing tony hawks project 8, ridge racer, my favorite psx games and pokemon emerald on gpsp emulator while sitting at the pool.
    Now even today I sometimes pick my psp up to play some psp games on it. I have different android based handhelds that can run psp on 2x or sometimes 3x the original resolution, but playing on the original psp is just not comparable. Its a different feeling.
    I love that device to a point where I still recommend it nowadays to friends who want to have a cheap way to play good games on the go.

The fact that you could have pictures, videos, and most of all MUSIC in it was just incredible, and the speakers played pretty loudly too (for the time especially).

And at least I had rescued and got a sixaxis working again, and was then able to pair it with the PSP go for use for the games. But between the storage and just the absolutely miserable battery, I found myself frustrated to the point of just giving it all to another friend to trade for a Pseudo Saturn cartridge for my then freshly scored Saturn console.
