Thread 724848545

This is the best Playstation device. Maybe not this model specifically, but damn this thing was and still is awesome.

>>724848545 (OP)
The only Sony console that was ever worth owning.

>>724848545 (OP)
The Vita does all that and is way better built.

The vita is better

Fawk no.

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.

>>724848545 (OP)
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.

But let the air out with a knife before you put it in your trash. Otherwise it will catch fire.

>>724848545 (OP)
>hmm, let's add only one joystick on the left
Did everyone just forget to tell the hardware people what first person games are? At least the DS had the possibility of looking around with the touch screen but why the fuck didn't they add one to the PSP?

>>724848545 (OP)
ps2 is better
psp is literally a shitty ps2 port machine lol

>>724849032
>>724849069
came to the thread just to make this post
it's a shame there's only like 5 games that are worth playing there and like 2 are multiplats.

>>724849743
you didn't grow up with either, did you, zoomoid?

>>724848545 (OP)
Its full of hidden gems and great ports like DJ MAX and the best version of Tactic Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics. First console I ever soft moded with CFW. SNES games barely ran on it but it was enough.

Insane to think this was possible on a 2004 handheld. Real hardware capture by the way.

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.

Any modern mobile phone is a better Sony console than PSP

>>724849128
>user interface is gay as fuck and constantly requires touching the screen
I play my Vita at least every few days and often forget that it's a touch screen console. It's not mandatory unless a game requires it for something.

>>724851182
You haven't seen anything yet.

>>724849678
Just get an N3DS for $500 sir

>>724851639
That's what you get a Vita for

>>724851597
why is this harder than the pirate DNS that other consoles use?

>>724852527
The PSP doesn't support it for some technical reason I don't really get it either.

>tfw got a Soul Sacrifice Vita and a Monster Hunter PSP

Luv me Vita, luv me PSP, simple as

>>724848545 (OP)
No you got it right - that model specifically. It had more premium build quality and when we got that thing back in 2005 / 2006 we knew we had something fucking special on our hands. This little bastard got me through some tough times in Iraq and Afghanistan

My battery is fucking bloated bros. I put it in a kitchen pot because I'm scared that it will explode.
What do I do with it?
I've read that I need to save the electronics. How do I do that?

>>724849234
Good one anon

>>724853661
not him but i have the red gow psp since launch, my brother used it in afghanistan, and it still works perfectly and the battery is fine. it's crazy

PSP sales were annoyingly disproportionate to the vidya sales for said handheld.
Sony was pissed about that.

>>724848545 (OP)
PSVita is a straight up upgrade to the PSP, which makes it even bester.

>>724851597
HOLY FUCKING BASED

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.

Is this the sexiest PSP model ever released?

>>724853601
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.

>>724855628
Or is it this one?

Who can I commission to fan translate the rest of Kenka Banchou games?

is there actually an autism divide between PSPfags and Vitafags?
surely you guys aren't that gay

>>724856785
>is there actually an autism divide between PSPfags and Vitafags?
No.
It's just false flags and attention whores craving (you)s. Like always.

>>724848545 (OP)
nah its dogshit, my phone can just run ppsspp and i can use an actual controller instead
we should be praising how good ppsspp is actually

>Open world racing game

Crazy stuff

>>724855628
>>724855665
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.

>>724848545 (OP)
Probably the best console of all time, not just handheld.

>>724848545 (OP)
PS2 is still the undisputed GOAT but the PSP is easily top 3

>>724849447
>most of the library wasn't on or wouldn't make it to PSN.
Who cares about that when you just hack it and load all your games

>>724849032
>better built
...but the opposite is true.

>>724849743
so was the ps2, every fucking game was a port of other consoles and even shovelware was more abundant on it than other consoles

but how would you know? you werent there

>>724849032
yup
install adrenaline and your vita is now a psp with better battery life. except now it can also run a shitload of homebrew ports.

>>724849128
>constantly requires touching the screen
cute meme but vita's xmb can be navigated with buttons and the d-pad

>>724849513
Don't do this. My kitchen just filled up with mustard gas.

it was basically an early smartphone
tech this advanced for its time will probably never be seen again

>>724860790
>it was basically an early smartphone
>has none of the features of a smartphone
what?

>>724861035
dear zoomie, this thing had:
>built in wifi
>mp3 and mp4 playback
>email and social networks through its web browser
>a camera (purchased separately)
>fm radio
in fucking 2005. Phones of that era didn't have half of that shit, unless we're talking early smarphones like what Palm and RIM were offering, for a lot more money.

>>724848545 (OP)
Facts. Whenever I need to play a PS1 game I just load an eboot on my PSP.

>>724848545 (OP)
yes this model specifically

>>724861035
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.

>>724863486
Xperia Play can emulate N64 pretty well, and PS1. But yes, it loses out on the PSP catalog. if they ever made a sequel it would've been really nice.

>>724851182
Some of the later titles were pretty nice to look at. The Third Birthday also comes to mind. It was a similar situation the PS3 where developers didn't unlock the full graphical potential until the console was nearing end of life.

>>724863486
N-Gage hate aside, I honestly enjoyed quite a few Java games back in the day and find the overall catalog superior to current mobile games, which have a few worthy titles (excluding ports) and mostly cash grab shit.

>>724849234
Nah, after 3 years my PSP had all of it's rubber underneath the buttons torn off, making them loose.

Everyone ITT should try Gundam vs Gundam Next

>>724864636
It was fun but gets old really fast.

>>724863815
I played pirated Ngage games (and gameboy/snes emulators) on my 6620, probably the best phone i've ever got

>>724861035
>web browser
>music player
>video player
it was such a massive leap forward being able to do all that stuff on a handheld that could also play games. it was a true multimedia device and not just a game machine, like how phones are now multimedia devices and not just phones.

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 stole my brother's until my mom got me a psp go, my first device where I learned the wonders of an internet browser...

>>724849032
>>724849069
>>724855005
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.

>>724852527
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.

>>724849128
>a bunch of lies so people don't form an opinion I don't agree with
pathetic

>>724865734
>vita has more games
>bigger battery
>bigger screen
>can play all psp games
>has dual stick patches for psp games
And both systems are outdone by mobile phones. Even an old cheap phone that can run android will mog the PSP so I don't get why you even brought this up.

>>724865734
Forgot to mention the vita can use controllers via bluetooth.

For some reason the Vita has no custom shells.

>>724848545 (OP)
i've received my buddys old psp as a gift a couple of months ago and playing peace walker on it has been a ludo experience.
what other games should i get?

>>724867050
>For some reason the Vita has no custom shells
pain in the ass to make them, let alone find genuine ones that aren't ripped off of some sacrificial vita
something something touch panels, PSP is literally just 2 pieces of plastic

Can the Vita play UMD Video games? I know PPSSPP can't. This includes a game published as UMD Video.

>>724849032

>>724866761

to what end?

>>724870025
they're all 720x480, pspemu has a hard limit of 480x272 for any MPEG video content
not much you can do here other than literally ripping the disc itself and then just playing the video on NetStream or another video viewer

I like the PSP but at this point I feel like I should just sell it to some sooner retard for 10x the actual value

>>724852262
It runs on 20 FPS On the original hardware

>>724870025
Do white boys do anything but watch porn?

>>724870680
A small sacrifice to put the entirety of PS2 version of TDU without any compromises to the map size and car roster.

>vita with L2/R2/L3/R3 grip
oh yeah it's time to game

>>724863585
There might be a chink sliding phone soon. I just noticed this.

>>724861703
>Phones of that era didn't have half of that shit
They didn't have wifi, but everything you listed was absolutely on every fucking phone released at that time for less than a PSP, especially camera's were a huge gimmick at the time pushed by Sony Ericsson brand that was shilled everywhere.
