Last year I bought my first PSP and it became my favourite console ever because it's a great emulation machine for 8-16bit systems and PS1. I just love to play GBA games on it because those games were made for pick up and play in mind.

The emulation for psp on ps vita is actually hardware It has a MIPS processor

I was not expecting this from this channel, but this was a wonderful surprise! And wow, this makes me feel OLD! Very interesting, I never owned any version of the PSP, but I remember my brother trying to talk me into getting one by telling me it would work well as a portable Amiga emulator, hahaha.

I added a couple PSPs to my modest handheld gaming collection recently. They're quite cheap from Japan. Good fun to refurbish and mod.

People need to stop reminding me that stuff that came out in my life is retro 😅 But am i happy to see a video from you!

19:18 Small correction the Vita actually has most of the PSP SoC buried in it. It is missing the second CPU core that was used to assist with certain media tasks but only home-brew ever took advantage of that. The Vita is so accurate that I actually bought one as a replacement PSP given PSP emulation is still hit and miss. The one huge, absolutely gigantic advantage my Vita has over any PSP is the fact I've got the first model Vita (actually I have the 3G enabled one) with the OLED panel, plus I've found that the Vita has a pretty good homebrew scene around it.

As media player, PSP was excellent, it may even overshadow it's primary purpose. Like, when NGage QD was actual, almost half of my friends had it - not as playing device, but as almost most affordable smartphone of the era.

The PSP was awesome!

I bought mine in 2004 in Japan. It was mind blowing. I still have it and it works great.

Back in the day, bought a nintendo DS hated it sold it for a PSP 1000. I ended up buying two extended batteries, one to use and one to make a pandora. the pandora ended up bloating a few years later. Years later lent the psp to a friend, she misplaced it and i bought a refurb unit for half price. years later found my original in her bathroom cabinet, had some delamination to the lcd, bought a reproduction lcd on ebay to repair it, and still own it to this day. the second battery is still good to this day. Easily my favorite and if not the best handheld ever made. I have no idea what happened to the standard capacity batteries that came with either console though.

Loved the subtle RoseTintedSpectrum cameo

I used to use my PSP to browse the web to look at pornographic images lmao

Very good video!

I remember maybe 6 or 7 years ago in my eBay addict days, I manage to buy 3 PSP's for £60. When I received em, I realised that I didn't even want one

You need more likes but I can only give one :(

loved my psp-3000 when I first got it specifically to play legend of heroes trails in the sky :D my only real gripe with the system was that the analog "stick" was always so slippery.

It's a surprise to find out that the psp run ps1 game better than the ps1 classic. I always wanted one but were expensive with all the restrictions of sony. But now can be a good investment.

I picked up my first (and only, so far) PSP, a 3000, when the PSP was on its way out in favor of the Vita (and I stopped to glare at the PSP Go on my way down the aisle), and I picked up a bunch of cheap -- but mostly great! -- games and UMD movies over the subsequent years. I was immediately impressed by the picture quality, and while I don't regret going with the DS back when they were both still pretty new, I'm glad I picked up a PSP eventually. Two friends of mine were early adopters, though, and they were always showing up to parties and other gatherings with their PSP's, a handful of UMD games, and memory sticks full of memes to show everyone. At the time, and especially since they had the 1000 and both added larger batteries, the rest of us chuckled at the image of our friends carrying around bricks with them everywhere they went, but they got a ton of use out of them.

I was wondering were was the wifi in mine until i realized i have the cost reduction version :( also thanks for making me (18) feel old

That white PSP 2000 is a handsome device.

I got one from a charity shop last year and I have to say I don't use it was much as I should do. I think it might be due to the fact I always have to charge it, it feels like if you leave it alone for any length of time it will just drain the battery.

Another classy, funny ep - great stuff! Like you, my 1000 is handheld of choice. Had no idea about the Vectrex and GameBoy emulators - time for more fun! How about one on the Vectrex, BTW?

to be honest i have a psp, and from the outside it looks modern but as soon as you open up the back, the place you put games or movies inside, you can tell its old school from the look of inside.

I was a absolute lunatic and ordered a psp at launch from Japan. Yes I was the coolest kid at school with a PSP a whole 3 months before it’s NA release.

Hooray... I never knew much about the PSP but now I do!

Great video!! The PSP is still one of my favourite handheld consoles. There are so many excellent games available and I still use my PSP on a regular basis.

Few years back I was able to pick a slew of games op for this little guy at a dime a dozen. Such a great system

Is retro for me when it was 2010

I got the PSP 2000 and 3000. I did buy the PSP camera. It connect to the USB mini port on top near the trigger buttons. A maximum of 2000 could be added to the play list.

Didn’t realize I used my psp like a smart phone back then until now

The PS3 definitely had a Memory Stick reader, it was under a flap that lifted up. They removed it in later versions though.

24 was an amazing show. No joke.

I loved my PSP-2000 but I ADORED my PSP Go, I could actually fit that thing in my pocket

PSP UMD disc was a continuation from MiniDisc and it was sized much smaller than 8cm DVD format. Initially, Sony might want to put MiniDisc into PSP but since this format isn't having fully un-eraseable recording capability like standard optical disc format, fearing that somebody might accidentally wiping off contents from pre-made MiniDisc game disk so Sony combining part of MiniDisc tech and also standard optical disc format to form UMD.

Is there a good battery alternetive for the psp? My psp battery can play 45 min 2D games and is the empty. THX

11:05 Ah, yes, I remember absolutely fucking mine up trying to make a Pandora battery.

Never bothered with UMD movies, but I did used to use mine to watch TV shows and movies on it from the memory card. I already loved mine but once they started releasing PS1 games on the Playstation Store for a few quid, that PSP went everywhere with me. I'd be playing Crash Bandicoot in college over breaks and lunch haha. Didn't bother using it for music, though, had a Sony mp3 player with an internal physically tiny 20gb HDD I still have three PSPs hehheh

i remember passing on multiple oppotrunities to get one of these for absurdly cheap when they were new because my brother's shady friends was a prodigious thief. name was rob which is ironic. I'm not a snitch....at least on this occasion because rob showed me his prized nickel plated Beretta every time I ran into him. but I digress, I passed on these new psps that were only going to end up tossed into pawnshop because the advertised features of the psp were seemingly way too good to be true to me. I was super wrong, they delivered on pretty much everything advertised making it an incredible value and on the knife edge of technology at the time. I regret passing on those dodgy psps.

Modesto.

I was duped by the cost-reduced PSP in CeX in 2011, lol. I’d bought a second hand one for £30 when there were 3000s going for £15. I’d bought it as an emulation machine, but got it home and found it was the only un-hackable model at the time >.> But I didn’t know which ones were which at the time - being a child of Nintendo - and the shopkeeper said it was the newest and best one. Well, at least he was only lying about the best part, since it _was_ the newest.

Ahhahhh halo temen temen aku dari indonesia

Hola gringos

21:15 sus

Why "desktop" grade handhelds are dead? Well, cuz' Sony and Microsoft moved to the power-hungry and not so efficient x86 architecture on their main line of consoles while Nintendo's games are usually came with lower hardware reqs. As I don't like Nintendo games I missed new handhelds but Steam deck is interesting for me. Also, as ARM become stronger nowadays and Apple even switched their desktop computers to ARM... maybe if other manufacturers starts to make high-end arm chips(those are comparable with a high-end desktop x86 cpu) maybe we can expect a portable console, like PSP was?! I still have my PSP Phat with tons of memory cards and a custom firmware.

21:14 Among us

The Wii is older than the PSP, yet it isn't retro...

15:40 This wasn't a criminal act. Sony didn't pay artists to commit crimes, they paid artists and the owners of the buildings to allow fake graffiti on the buildings. It was done legally. It drew attention because actual graffiti artists hated that their "pure" art genre was being violated so they'd go waaay out of their way to paint over it.

Well I think you neglected the most important question... Can it play DOOM???

It's vintage, not retro. Retro means imitative of a style or fashion from the recent past. Retro - looks old Vintage - is old.

Man. I'm 17. I'm retro too haha

Nothing that has 3d capabilities is retro.

Your complaint about flaws when you have shitty old time music that’s annoying
