I love how this goes from a review to “let’s pirate shit on this”

"Every system needs to have Doom running on it" -amen

Loved the video. I always upvote PSP content!

To this day I still think the PSP Go clock is one of the coolest looking on screen clocks I've seen.

I can absolutely agree with your recommendation on it, I still find myself going back to the PSP family of systems and for the past week or so have actually been bringing my PSP Go with me. It's truly a great system but that's only if you're going to mod it, which let's face it... Most people buying one will plan to. That was the hard sell with it back in the day, no one was asking for a digital only PSP. I remember when I first saw one in the game shop I worked at my first thought was "Wow, this is perfect for CFW users!" and sadly that proved to be true. I think for the several years I worked there we got 2 of these in stock and it took us over a year to move them out. The price definitely spiked back up after 2013, right before that you could find these at used shops for $40 or less easily. Game shops would gladly discount them and throw in what they could because they always had difficulty selling them, but not the 1000/2000/3000 models.

psp and go aged beautifully

This one is a handheld powerhouse even in 2018, I still use my Go very frequently and I couldn't be happier with it. Battery life isn't so great anymore on my side, But it has been truly respectable for the 6 years or so that I've owned it. I've gotta admit that I'm truly happy that you made a video on it, It's a really underrated device and one that I really love too. Great video, As always!!!

I'm always expecting your videos to open with "The original Xbox..."

The PSP in general is an awesome platform. Probably my favorite handheld overall. It just has a fantastic library and it is still solid as an emulation device.

I still play the PSP Go to this day and own multiple Go devices so my friends can join me on games such as Burnout Legends and Untold Legends from time to time, we have also dabbled with PSX Multiplayer using irShell recently but it isn't the best sadly due to sync issues (A possible mod to allow PSX multiplayer support on Adrenaline perhaps? I best pester theFlow!) I have been active in the PSP scene for more than a decade now and it's great to see a video like this from such a credible KZfaq/Modder so thank you for the upload, the community appreciates it.

I get excited over new MVG videos the same way I used to go nuts whenever there was a new EGM on the magazine rack back in the day. Some things never change.

For your capture card or a CRT, the Go and 3000 can output 240p/288p via component for PS1 titles if set to output interlaced. Pretty neat it can do so.

Amazing video, Im a HandHeld console collector here in Brazil and also love my PSP Go. Very portable, very beautiful. Congrats! :D

Love these vids about reviving handhelds with CFW, homebrew, emulators etc.

One of my favorite channels right now. And speaking of the Vita, would love to see more about it from you.

That short tutorial on how to set up the files was way more useful than anything else I found on the internet. Thanks a ton!

They were so underrated they were basically an older version Nintendo switch

I remember browsing the internet on my psp1001 before smartphones came around and I was very impressed.

The quality of your videos just keeps on getting better! I had also totally frogot about the PSP GO

Modern Vintage Gamer, I love your videos. Very chill and I really like how you explain things so that slow people like myself can keep up. Keep up the great work bro.

i bought my psp 1000 on january 2006, and its still going strong today. gotta love that build quality.

I still remember back when it was released, me and my friends made fun of the PSP Go, because of it's weird design to the older models, but having bought one a few years ago myself i've got to admit: I just love my PSP Go, it is such a nice compact retro solution with emulators. I don't mind not having too much space for the PSP and PSX library, because I prefer to play them with my Vita anyway(because of the second Stick etc). And nowadays it's just so much more affordable compared to when it was released.

I've had 4 of these for the longest time and use them often for power stone collection and other exclusive multiplayer games during my group's get togethers.

Great video! Component video out is not unique to PSP Go, PSP-3000 has it as well. Thanks to a really good PS1 emulation and video output quality, it is a really good way to play PS1 games on a TV if you don't own a PS1, especially with Framemeister and its zoom capabilities. In my opinion, considering the fact that there's an SD memory card mod available, PSP Go may very well be the best PSP revision thanks to Bluetooth and DualShock 3 support.

Still carry my go with me everywhere till this day along side my vita.

I was using the PSPgo as a micro console and EMULATOR to my TV with the PSPgo Dock and a PS3 controller. PSP was amazing.

Hi! Have only just got around to subscribing to your channel - even though I have followed you for a while, now. Within this last week, I have bought a PSP go - AND a PS Vita! Though not together! And I've had a PSP 1003 for few years now, and I think it's a great handheld console! Keep up the great work! 👍👍

Always a treat when you upload. Cheers!

Love my PSP Go. It's almost too small but taking Gran Turismo and Pac Man C.E. so conveniently is awesome.

Great video MVG

Bro, your channel is AWESOME. Very informative.

Thank god someone else loves the Go. Mine got alot of love after the microsd card mod. Love the videos.

For anybody who's interested on installing a cfw on a psp they should checkout the 6.61 infinity firmware that allows any psp (go included) to run a permanent cfw even after reboot.

PSP Go is an aweesome device in 2018! I have one in my backpack.

Thank you very much for another video full of useful information. Seeing what each one of these handhelds is actually capable of, showcased in a way that's clear and easy to grasp makes it a lot easier to decide if it's something that suits your needs or not. As I'm currently trying to decide which portable console to buy, I'll make sure to keep this video in mind!

Yes! I purchased a PSPGO a year ago, for the mod features. Still looks awesome and great possibilities.

I was always attracted to the console phone and so naturally for me the best experience with a portable console was with the Xperia Play, almost perfect for emulation a nice physical pad, after that I migrated to the JxD s5800 which has as much quality (as long as we are not afraid of big mobile phone).

Thanks for this system the Xperia Play smartphone had a built-in Ps1 emulator

psp is so ahead of its time it came out in 2003 and here I'm still holding on to it after 16 years!!!!!!

Great overview. Managed to find one at a car boot sale for cheap. Great device for someone who never owned a PSP there's a stack of not that old gaming to be explored.

Who's from 2020? Had 2 GOs, the first in 2018, and the second in 2020. Had so many regrets after selling it first time. Great handheld)

I picked up a psp-1000 for 20 bucks (with a charger and two games!) I can't wait to get the memory stick adapter. I've had my eyes on a psp for about a year now. You have to keep your eyes out for good deals.

I've been using PSP GO for almoast 10 years, and still play it to this date. IT IS AMAZING, God of war, NFS, GT, everything is just amazing

I owned this since around 2010-2011 and I thought I lost it in a move a year or so ago and recently found it and it still working even after so long of not using it.

I remember back when i was 10 i have a psp go and i actually discovered that my teacher has a psp too! So we played games (MH3RD most of the time) after the class ended :D

Pretty sure the Vita now owns the crown of best handheld after the latest Hencore updates a month ago. The Go is nice if you want something super portable though.

I’ve been meaning to get one of these since my psp slim broke up on me, thanks a bunch!

Damn, lemme brush the cobwebs off this great video!!! - oh and happy 50th dood

My favourite is the PSP. I do own a 3DS but I cannot softmod it. But I do own a PSP 3000 with Infinity Permanent 6.61. I actually did the jailbreak. It came with 5.03 OFW. I play retro games on it

2:59 16 MB of storage...damn Sony are teases!

Just modded my PSP yesterday! One of the best things I've done with a console in a long time.

I totally forget about the psp go I need to pick one up asap. Since my fat psp is almost falling apart these days. 😂 Great video as usual!

I still have a working PSP 1000. I still travel with it.

PSP Go was revived by the hacking community with the launch of the custom firmware. To bad they use proprietary cables. Because of this, I try to avoid it.

sounds awesome. i was playing crisis core ff7 on my psp 3000. battery lasted about an hour or less but my psp was a bit older lol. nice review brother i will pick one up

I have 2 PSP's and Vita, for the rest of my life. Perfect little things to have when traveling or on hollidays. I love them alle 3 :D

People wasn't ready for the PSP Go. 2019: No one is ready for the Xbox One S Digital.

I own the PSP Go since day one. *hugs PSP Go*

Great material, I was looking for something like that, I thought about it, but after that I will reflect

i still have my original psp that i got for christmas back in 2004 and it still works to this day :)

I'm pretty sure wololo.net is a an Age of Empires reference. Convert your psp go to run custom firmware today! Me: Can I please run these emulators? PSPGO: no Me: Wololo! (PSPGO changes color) PSPGO: Ok fine

my favourite is still the original psp

I don't like how the PSP GO looks compared to the 1000-3000. It looks awkward to hold it. Fantastic video as always 😁

I actually bought a PSPgo a year ago and I still play with it every day in my daily commute :)

I think adrenaline on the VITA killed this for me, it does everything the psp go does but faster and with a bigger better screen.

man I remember when gamestop was selling these for like 50 bucks back in 2011-ish. I wish I had invested in a few of these, not because to try and resell them though, just to have a couple of backups in case my white psp go craps out and the price keeps rising on them making it harder to get another one.

Your reviews are so neutral and lively. Much love from India.

Cheers mate! Thanks for the info. I liked what you put out about the Wii U and this one.

Technically it's a great handheld, but I find it far too cramped to play on the console for any prolonged period of time. The PSP models before it were much more comfortable to play on.

The biggest downside to the PSP Go is the propriatory SD Card. 16gb is fine for alls 8 and 16 Bit games, but if you want to put your whole PSP and/or PSX library on it you will run out of space very quick. It is possible to mod the system to use micro SD but I don't have the skills to mod it myself. Got mine for about 40€ in near mint condition btw.

At 08:16 Lovely Pick with the PSP God of War Scene / Capture, this device runs it perfectly. :) Also huge thank you for all the work for the community over the years

One of my favorite Portable systems of the era. The Go was perfect for me.

My favorite handheld in 2018 is my gameboy color and my everdrive gb lmao

The best PSP is a Vita. I got a Go thinking it would be an ideal portable PS1 emulator. No, it's terrible. The controller is a hand cramp waiting to happen. The screen is too small and not as clear as modern LCDs. The storage situation sucks if you need more than a couple GBs. The final nail though: That single analog stick and no L2/R2. The Vita is more comfortable, looks better, runs better, has more storage, plays PS1, PSP, and Vita games - and will emulate other systems better than the slower PSP. There's just not much there to recommend. The one sole saving grace for the Go, however.... Put it on a dock, plug in component video cables, pair a PS3 controller, and set the video mode to Interlaced. Now you get true 240p output on PS1 games. Woo! Just remember to pair the PS3 controller at home - you can't do it in a hotel room 2000 miles away from your PlayStation 3. Apparently.

I own a black PSP Go. I got it when it originally came out. Fortunately, it's in amazing shape. I have only been using it to play movies on it but I may go ahead & load the custom firmware on it & see what I can do with it. I would love to play Sega Genesis games, NES games, etc. on it. That would be pretty cool. Cool video. Thanks, man!

you keep reviving platforms, ily

Best PSP of them all (because of the internal memory)

Nothing about 6.61 Infinity?

I regret letting my GO..GO😉 By the way you have one of the best gamer tech channels on KZfaq. I currently have a almost mint PSP 1001 and love it, yes that screen isnt the best but honestly once you get used to it its so much better to play with. The weight of the 1001 is crazy if you're used to the 2000-3000 its even more noticeable BUT the quality is night and day. I'm just now entering the Vita scene and can't wait for it to arrive, paid less for a Vita with 8gig card then most PSP systems on eBay. I think I will eventually try to find a PSP go someday cause the portability and awesome screen with no umd drive is very attractive now.

I too turned my nose up at this back in '09 due to the lack of a UMD drive. Recently, I picked one of these up for the hell of it at a local thrift store for $10. Brought it home, loaded up the CFW, and I've had it on me at all times ever since. Super portable and capable of playing literally thousands of games. It's perfect!

Actually, there is a permanent CFW for the PSP Go, thay even runs on 6.61. 🤔

0:06 That’s now how you’re supposed to hold it.

Great video. I use my psp go all the time for single player classic emulation (connected to a tv). It plays CFW faster than the 3000 or slim series I have seen. Perhaps it had slightly better hardware with same specs (few months later). A new one is very expensive these days (300$) but a semi new one on ebay might due for half the price.

Great video! If you want a permanently loaded cfw, you can install the firmware 6.61 and then flash the Infinity firmware hack. After that, you can install either the PRO or the ME custom firmware and configure the 6.61 Infinity loader to load one of them as default at bootup. I did this on my psp 3000 and it has been great ever since.

Damn i'm still playing my PSP in public lol

You can install a permanent CFW like 6.61 PRO-C∞ I really don't know why people use temp CFW in 2018. IMO the gpSP kai 3.4 GBA emu is probably the best portable GBA emulator out there and its always my goto for playing GBA games on the go as i don't own a GBA anymore :(... ok theirs probably a better one on the 3ds but I don't own one of those eather.

The most underrated "pocket-sized" portable. I have one and I'm still playing on this one despite having newer portables.

The standard PSP also supported component cables. That version of the cable was hard to find but I think I still have mine dangling from my TV. XD

Bought a go on eBay for sub $100.. came with a 16gb memory card. Score.

The PSP Go is the most comfortable emulation machine in my eyes.

Your videos are very detailed, thank you.

Great. Now I want one, because I hate the touchscreen control for emulators on my phone. Thanks!

2:58 16 mb of internal storage? hahah

Uhhhhhh was that AM2R on vita????? HOWWWW???

Always loved the PSP... I also got a launch 1000 model and was always super impressed with the power of the unit. Definatley well ahead of its time! I actually got a PSP Go model quite recently so I could play Castlevania - Rondo Of Blood on my TV using the a Dualshock pad and once again the PSP is my favorite handheld in 2018, it is just so versatile and the weight and size of the GO are really nice. I also got a cheap PS TV (Vita TV) after watching your recent video and I am loving the PSP emulator on that. Sony are a great company but somehow mess up their marketing, the Vita should be kicking ass right now but they have abandoned it far too early!

Man I love my PSP Go! such an sexy console! I even bought a white one cib that was never used for more than a few demos for under 70€ lol

Ultimately the lack of a UMD drive and the tiny internal storage meant this was never going to work in the market place; it was an even worse move than Nintendo pulling the backwards compatibility with GBA games for the DSi and replacing it with gimmicks. Actually using the PSP Go also looks a lot clunkier than the PSP.

Ps Vita all the way. It can do the same as the PSP GO. Only better. But the psp go has a great design even after so many years..

PSP GO has such an elegant design and it's an emulation masterpiece on top of the PSP and PS1 library, shame it didn't take off, same thing happened to the Sony Xperia Play, they were way ahead of their time, love their design and light weight.

Definitely looks like a quality nifty little device...👌🏼💯✔ I always liked it's look, and always kinda wanted one...💁🏻
