  PSP 2000 hanging around somewhere. Thing was awesome. UMDs where a wild choice tho.

    Thankfully softnodding them to launce games of the memory stick was super easy

      Yep, quite a lot of potential especially with microsd card adaptors

  The PSP was a real beast and the perfect competitor to the DS. I have one that I bought around 2012 (still works, too! though the card reader seems a bit finnicky), rooted it and was happy for many, many hours afterward. Getting a microSD->MemoryStickDuo adapter was was just 😘 👌

  OP, if you haven’t yet, play Kenka Bancho Badass Rumble. A beat’em up with big replayability, where you play a delinquent student in the last school trip of the year. Your job is to beat the “main guy” of every other school to prove you’re the best!

  I had one for 2 glorious weeks after buying it at initial release. Then my baby brother dumped water or something on it while I was at work. That was a lot of money for a teenager at the time. I is sad

    Well they are not that expensive just yet. I would grab one, I am actually planning on getting another one just for the sake of it

      They were quite expensive when first released, especially compared to the ds

      Yeah I’d like to pick up an old one at some point. I collect handhelds

  I always wanted a PSP but never got one. I really wish Sony would come out with another.

    Best modern Sony can do is a streaming shitbox that you can accomplish the same thing with using a phone or tablet you already own, and it’ll have same janky aesthetic as well.

  As a kid I cracked the main circuit board in mine after dropping it once. Repair was impossible. Those five hours of playtime I got in were nice tho.

  • CluckN@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Same as a kid I somehow broke the spring for the power button. I swear I had to get it repaired 3 times for other random quirks.

  please crosspost to !psp@lemmy.world I just need to get battery and bigger sd card for mine.

  Still have my launch day version and bust it out to play some guilty gear with friends time to time. Got me into soft modding then hard modding other consoles. Even now it’s a tinkerer’s delight.

  I loved my psp. It’s kicking in a box somewhere in the house. I have found memories of ad-hoc’ing Untold Legends with my friends in my buddies garage. Good times! Also as a young teen, having an internet browser at my fingertips for porn was a game changer 🤣

  Just sold an PSP 1001 with a memory stick

  • turbodrooler@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Memory sticks were so cool.

• MrGerrit@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  That’s impressive! How is the battery? Replaced it over time, if that’s possible? How long can you play on it, before it needs to recharge again?

  source

  • chrono@apollo.town ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I don’t play long enough to run out of it, maybe 3 or 4 hours? I should do some tests. It’s still the original one though

• GONADS125@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I’ve got my original homebrewed with a bunch of emulators and it still holds up as a solid handheld. I need to bust that out again… been a little while.

  source

  • chrono@apollo.town ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Yep, there’s a lot of juice left on mine, such a huge library and the emulation options are great too

    source
  • KingJalopy@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Same here but last year the battery decided to puff up and blow the back off. I could probably still turn it on but I’m not going to risk it lol.

    source

    • GONADS125@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Oh no! Man that reminds me I need to replace the original battery on my original Xbox before it explodes… Got coin-ops and a lot of old saves on it I don’t want to lose.

  I have a 3000. I replaced my cracked screen awhile back and now it can only turn on when plugged in. It sucks because before that the screen was broken, but I could stream it to my TV.

  Recently fished out my PSP-1000 from my closet only to find the battery ready to pop. Need to look into disposing of it now before anything bad happens -_-

  I remember badly wanting one after seeing someone playing Gran Turismo on the subway. I eventually bought a 3G Vita with the expectation that I would be playing PSO2 “soon”. Well, as some of you may know, PSO2 was a surprise hit in Japan, and they never got around to translating it to English until fairly recently, and after the era of the Vita.

  How is the phrase ‘memory stick’ trademarked??

  source

  • lemann@lemmy.one ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    They trademarked Memory Card for the PS1 if i’m not mistaken, so not surprised they were granted one for Memory Stick too

    source
  • chrono@apollo.town ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Well, it is a proprietary format after all

    source
• Vordan@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  That’s some cool looking background. Is it animated?

  source

  • chrono@apollo.town ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Sadly no, it’s from the warp gate effect from Chrono Trigger. Best game of all time

      Don’t forget the beef jerky when you time travel

      source
    • Vordan@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It is possible to make it, though. At least the tools exist for it.

      source
• chrono@apollo.town ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  I also made a blog post sharing what I have on it :P
