Thread 282942361

I have way too little space on my shitty phone to download anime so I decided to torrent a bunch of anime and put it on my old PSP as it has a shit ton of space and is pretty portable. Sure, i'd be easier to just find a site to watch stuff online but I don't really like using those and I like to keep my stuff downloaded. It seems like a quick novelty but it's really great, the PSP is actually a great handheld,
it's one of the last handhelds that can actually fit in your pocket. I watched the first half of Little Witch Academia on it just kicking it back on my couch and I have a backlog of other things to watch.

I doubt anyone here has a PSP, but if you do I reccomend trying this!
Only roadblock is converting your videos so the PSP can actually play them.
There's some misinformation online about how videos work on PSP and
it was pretty confusing at first, but with the help of my friend I made a good Handbreak preset that burns in english subtitles and makes the videos perfect quality and a compact file size.
(usually like 70 megabytes per episode)
After converting it's as simple as connecting your PSP to your PC and dragging your episodes to your PSP's video folder.
You might need a memory card, but I'm actually not sure. You can also get a homebrew video player to take screenshots and stuff which is what I use but it isn't nessecary.
Do you use any non-conventional devices to watch your anime?
I would love seeing pictures, and I'm happy to help!

>>282942361 (OP)
this is awesome!!!! :D
the psp is a very fun console.

>>282942361 (OP)
I have a PS Vita (I used to have a PSP but not anymore). The Vita is an underrated handheld but I'd still rather watch anime on my smartphone if I had to choose a portable device to watch it on

>>282942361 (OP)
>watching anime on a low res, retro console
Awesome, I might even dust off mine to try it. Or see how it works on a Vita, they're the same form factor.
>Do you use any non-conventional devices to watch your anime?
Not really non-conventional, but I use a laptop with a ripped off wifi card, so its a 100% offline device. I torrent on main pc to a portable ssd, then connect that or copy to that laptop so I can watch it in bed. Its nice because I can easily take, edit, and rename screenshots, which I take a ton of. Same with manga.

>>282942361 (OP)

lol

>>282942361 (OP)
NOICE. I have 2 PSPs that I'm not using right now but I could use this to watch some more anime on the go.

Do you mind posting those Handbreak presets to a catbox?

>>282942361 (OP)
Yea, i remember watching soul eater on my psp. It was even the same "bright" revision. It was pretty cool actually. There were even websites with anime torrents already formatted for psp. The only downside that i can remember is that baked-in subtitles were often next to unreadable because they were meant for normal-sized screens, and the built-in subtitle tool is barely functional. That said, i watched a ton of anime on mine and was super happy with it

>>282942361 (OP)
Be clinically insane and buy the 1seg tv tuner and transmit anime from your PC to a 1seg analog signal and watch through your PSP 1seg application. (I've thought of trying to fuck with this as a project because handheld systems with TV tuners have caught my interest recently).

I have a PSP GO so space is unfortunately limited without modifying which I haven't felt inclined to do, otherwise I like the idea behind it.

I recommend making a Plex server and just streaming your collection to your phone, although streaming outside your local network is like $5 a month after a short trial unfortunately, I think there's other services which makes this possible to do for free although I hear it's a bit annoying to set-up.

Also cute McDonald's parappa charm, I bought the full set last year but haven't felt inclined to use them because I don't want them to get damaged.

>>282942361 (OP)

Yes this is an anime, not a manga.

There's Jellyfin which is free but it can be a little annoying to set-up.

>>282942361 (OP)
What do you get out of this kind of trolling?

>>282942575
this is not a thread about anime, this is a thread about trying to be quirky and emulate a time period that you never existed in and barely existed to begin with

It's the same shit as people who do "DURR SHOULD I WATCH LE OLD ANIME ON A CRT???" no motherfucker there's no benefit, this isn't tomb raider there's no dithering, if you gave a shit you'd watch the best quality torrents available on a good screen

>>282942558
Whoops, yeah your right. Some of what I glanced over online gave me the implication it was something akin to an analog frequency but yeah it's a digital UHF frequencies, I'm still new to this stuff.
>>282942586
So I've heard which is why I was disinterested since I got too accustomed to using Plex and the effort to switch over didn't seem worthwhile.

Not your blog

>>282942614
It's about watching anime on different devices. Stop backseat modding and ignore threads you don't like, you autistic cunt.

Why not watch anime on a Game Gear or PC Engine GT?

>>282942361 (OP)
i just listen to it on my walkman

Is that amp really that necessary for those tiny in-ears? Especially when walkman pumps out something like 350 mWt

>>282943469
those are shure kse1500's which are electrostatic IEMs. they require their own amp.

The PSP is 21 years old.

>>282943582
Yeah it was pretty great for its time

>>282942361 (OP)
Aah good times, I even used to read books on my psp
Nowadays I just use my steam deck for everything

>>282943582
Still not retro.

>>282944113
It does dithering and stuff. Seems retro to me.

>>282944441
Most LCDs do dithering.

>>282944113
The X360 and PS3 are considered retro now, Grandpa.

There was a lot of PSP encoded video going around on torrents back in the day. Plus, various direct download websites. Nowadays the hassle of reencoding spoils it a bit but a lot of people did use it before competent smartphones were a thing.

>>282942361 (OP)
>watching anime on anything other than a desktop computer
I refuse to accept you people are real.

>>282946436
Using my current ones for about 2.5 years, haven't been surprised yet. When's it gonna come?

is the psp the most /a/ console?
i know the 3ds had a lot of weeb games too

>>282946436
So that's a no then.

I torrent directly on my steam deck and if am feeling fancy I plug it on my 4k tv.500gb space plus 512gb from micro sd

>>282946543
Gotta be Vita by an astonishing veeb-nonweeb games ratio.

The PSP brings back memories. I still mostly watch anime on my decade-old laptop though. I don't understand the folks needing full screen TVs all the time when you just need a non-shitty video player.

>>282946526
After hooking up a desktop PC to a 40in TV I couldn't go back. Sitting on the couch in my sleeping bag waiting for Yuru Camp raws to finish downloading was such a great time. Far better than planting my rump in a 'puter chair.

Speaking of the PSP and music does anyone know a good audio visualizer as good as the PSP? Used to play Dissidia and stare at the effects like an autis. Still can't find a good audio visualizer sadly

>>282942528
How do you get that Hatsune Miku theme? That looks like the one my limited edition Hatsune Miku PSP had, but I deleted it somehow.

>>282949546
yeah, reading and watching stuff on the computer feels awkward for me, I try and avoid sitting down for longer than 50 minutes at a time. It's nice to lay down and relax while reading manga, while if I sit infront of the computer, the screen just feels too big

Wish I had the cash as a high schooler to get a PSP. Those things were dope.

>>282942361 (OP)
I have all 4 PSP revisions and still not so retarded.

>>282951550
No you don't. Where's your e1000?

I used to watch anime like Death Note (along with live action movies) on an iPod video. It was cool for the time, and long before I had a phone capable of playing video. But at this point if you insist on watching anime on a tiny screen I don't see why you wouldn't just use your phone. Though I guess I see the value in having a separate device for that instead of using your phone battery for it.

>>282951607
My bad, I have 5 revisions, forgot about street, sometimes I accidentally count my xperia play as well.

>>282942361 (OP)
There's no CFW video player app that lets you play MKV? But honestly you still want to compress them regardless so may as well convert them to mp4 too instead of opening the CFW can of worms.

>>282951736
It's probably a matter of using its native codec chip used to play UMD videos because processor/ram aren't that big for modern 720p+ video decoding.

>>282942361 (OP)
>remuxing your anime collection to watch it on a small 240p screen

>>282951736
No one probably thought there was need for that, you could just download already converted videos from many websites and there was xvid4psp for easy converting. Watching video with non native codec could result in high load on cpu and quick discharge.

Nah fuck that inconvenience I'll just continue using my Steam Deck. Bigger screen and higher res. It doesn't fit in my pocket sure but thats the only downside.

I have a psp-3000 that I want to watch old anime on now.

I've found a less tedious method since, though.

Unless there's a paradigm shift, the PS3 and X360 will never be retro since we're just playing scaled up PS360 games with all the same components and the same design philosophy for the most part. However, I think handhelds like the DS and PSP from the 7th gen are pretty retro honestly when you consider that portable gaming in the vein of those consoles died when mobile phones became a thing and they were mostly used to make games that could've easily been ported to the Playstation/N64 if you got rid of the graphical effects and the like (not to mention how many N64/PS1 games were ported to them by their respective first party developers).


>>282949321
Honestly a halfway decent monitor works perfectly fine.

>>282942361 (OP)
I actually remember watching a lot of anime on my DS of all things about 15 years ago. I never had a computer for my own personal use since we were quite poor (and only had one for my brothers school work) so I'd ask my brother to do put shows on there. It was basically like pic related but not a 3DS.

Got through Cowboy Bebop, Code Geass, Death Note, Gurren Lagann and Paprika along with like 200+ episodes of Yugioh on that thing. It was how I watched anime back in like 2009 and was at the mercy of my brother actually putting it on there properly.

I dunno if I'd call them nostalgic or fun memories since I can barely remember them but I know I was able to watch a lot of stuff using that method.

>>282959265
>we're just playing scaled up PS360 games with all the same components and the same design philosophy for the most part.
I think this is pretty dishonest. I don't think games have gotten better but I don't think you could argue games are still fundamentally PS360 games any more than you could argue PS360 games are still fundamentally PS1/N64 games. Maybe not that far back but many of the things the PS360 did were started on the PS2 so that may be a better thing to argue.

>>282959584
It's not really dishonest when you look at how games from the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era were complete games, with all the content in the game being included on-disc. They also tended to focus on arcade type skills of one sort or the other.

Modern games have been casualized heavily ever since the PS360 era. At first it was pretty minimal, but by the middle of that gen (when the graphics jihad was beginning to go into full force), a lot of game developers streamlined their games' mechanics to make way for better graphics. It happened to games like the Elder Scroll games, most FPSes/TPSes and pretty much all action-adventure games. It's why there's no major platformers being released post 2010 (with the exception of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts and Puppeteer). It also marks games being split up into parts that are latter sold for DLC and day-one patches, things that really didn't exist before the Internet made them good enough to try them out.

(I know expansion packs always existed, but those were essentially asset flips made after the fact with pre-existing tools to make a solid almost full-length campaign on par with the original. Most DLC was either cosmetic stuff that would just be mods or 2-5 hour side campaigns, which isn't horrible but it certainly was unthinkable in the 6th gen).

>>282943318
What I don't get is people get all this portable audio equipment and settle for inferior IEMs. Seriously just get some open back headphones, at least you can justify bringing all that crap with you.

>>282942922
I wanted to do this with my modded Switch but the bezels bug me and my OLED's my safe Switch.

>>282942361 (OP)
Did you know you can do this on a tablet? And have a MUCH bigger screen than a phone or psp? Especially if your tablet has a micro SD card slot. Super easy to load many seasons of anime on a 1tb card and then you have plenty of anime for travel and whatnot.

A 9-10" tablet seems to be the sweet spot for travel and weight. Anything bigger is a pain to hold, and smaller hurts to watch. Works for both manga and anime, and if you care to read books.

>>282960046
I can see the point about DLC and selling incomplete games but not entirely about simplification. In some cases it's true but for instance recently I finally played through Medal of Honor Rising Sun (which is a PS2/Xbox game but if you're claiming simplification started after PS360 I imagine that's implying games continued getting more complex up to that point, which I also don't agree with and would say some of the more complex non-strategy games came out using pre-PS2 gen technology) and playing that game now was really surprising. The navigation doesn't rely on intrusive quest markers but at the same time, the number of enemies on screen was pitiful and you could stand out in the open and not be hit. And this wasn't on easy either. So in some ways some genres of games were simplified but you'd be hard pressed to find any modern FPS that feels as simple to play as Medal of Honor Rising Sun, and I imagine there were plenty of those kinds of games back then as well.
>no major platformers
Don't know what your idea of major is but did you play A Hat in Time? Or even Yooka-Laylee.
