The PSP is also indestructible, I've used one for about 3,500 hours and it works perfectly. In comparison I had to change my 3DSXL's thumbpad after 500 hours.

The Go model was the biggest ripoff of these models. Hinge made to disconnect the screen's ribbon cable over time and no way for new players to know most of the library wasn't on or wouldn't make it to PSN.

It seems the monhun Discord figured out how to get PSP hardware to play online with emulator users. That'd be awesome cause I hate having to boot up my PC just to emulate old games. If I could play on actual hardware with online features, that'd be perfect.

I wonder if this works for every game or just monhun though.

I have a strong appreciation for some of the earlier Sony engineering.
It legitimately impresses me what people were able to do with such small mips machines like the PS2 and PSP.
The software design for things like the PS3, the way gameOS is how elegant the debugging and remote capabilities are. The beauty of the XMB uncompromising functionality and performance.
And more.
The PSP is really incredible to me. What a machine, especially for the time but even today it has merits that others don't. When fully unleashed to developers, both professional and hobbyist, these machines can produce works that impress.

Whatever you do, don't penetrate the battery itself, It will shoot flames out if it has charge. Potentially for a long time.
t. knower

>I've read that I need to save the electronics.
Be careful when opening the battery housing if you're removing the board from the memory board inside the battery.
But you shouldn't need that unless you have special data on there like a TOOL / Pandora battery.
If you don't use the battery to get into the special boot phase (to install cfw) you can just discharge it somehow and dispose of it. Replace with any battery.

The bronze look is cool, but the black gold colour scheme + the unique matte-coated housing and joystick of the MH3rd model makes it way better in my eyes, though I am biased since I own that model. My only nitpicks are that the matte coating can chip/flake off unlike an actual finish, same for the golden trim around the edge which is just painted plastic.

It was used as a portable porn machine and you could browse the web and do skype calls and shit. It did a lot of PDA/early smartphone features better than the devices at the time.
The Nokia N-gage should've been this but oh well.
Then the iPhone came out and the rest was history.
I will say, the Xperia Play, while unfortunately unable to play PSP games (it can emulate them but not perfectly) is also a pretty good machine.

PSP was fucking GOAT. I remember having to do the pandora battery trick to put on CFW when I was a kid. It was like an early Christmas to play SNES/GBA/SEGA roms on it.
There was only 2 things that killed the psp for me. The battery would drain fast, even when the psp was off. Everytime I turned it on, I had to reset the clock. Also, charging the thing was an inconvenience. The charger was fucking massive with that power supply brick, and charging it through USB would take hours. I also went through 2 batteries on that damn thing.

I owned both vita and psp, and the only advantages vita has over psp are
>More firm built buttons and shell, which makes for better longevity
>Slightly better emulation and homebrews
>Can play Ninja Gaiden Sigma (30 fps).

That's it. I honestly prefer PSP. For the price of vita, I can buy a mobile phone plus a controller grip case, which can emulate both PSP and PS2 games at 1080p.
Rather then playing streched 280p PSP games with unplayable Jak 2 port.
What I personally despise about vita however, are the infant-sized buttons. My thumb is twice the size of the button grid and I have to press start/select with the tips of my nails.

This is for adhoc multiplayer games. Infrastructure games do have the DNS method.

At least it's possible on the PSP. The DS will never be able to play local multiplayer games like DQ9 with an emulator.
