I had the fat one and loved the bumps, made it so comfortable I couldn't touch my friends' slim. Miss it a lot but last time I tried it had a terrible stick drift. Wonder if they're still available somewhere
I've recently started playing on my PSP slim again, it's a neat wee device especially when loaded up with 32gb of games, a 12ish hour internal battery, and a USB-C port so I can charge it with the same cable as my phone!
Had a ton of great first-party releases back in the day, it emulates everything up to the PS1 and some DOS games like Fallout pretty well, and the homebrew scene is still quite active - the CFW/launcher I use gets new features every few weeks and a few of the games like NZ:P still have regular updates.
I wanted to guy a Switch, and I am debating if I want to mod now and get an older model, or buy a new one and wait for better methods. Or... I could install one of the modchips on it
I was thinking of online play as I got my 3DS 1 year ago for that, but I just remembered that it now costs monthly for subpar service. Honestly, you are making me thinking about it more now about what I wanna get.
I sold my PSP years ago and now have a modchipped switch. With the release of android for it, I can play most PSP games on the PPSSPP emulator. Some games have issues, but even the God of War games run at full speed. It’s definitely not as small as the PSP or Vita. I’d recommend getting the OLED model and using a mod chip, as that’s probably the only way to hack it. Nintendo really locked down the later versions
I have a vita that ultimately stopped working, and gets stuck in a boot loop (original os, no modding/tampering done). Do you think it's hardware related? Or could I still flash a new os on that puppy.
I thought about getting one, but now I got the Gamesir X2 Pro for my phone and I don't see how a real Vita could give me any advantages over my current setup. I love this controller!
I got mine in 2015 and had a lot of fun with it. Such a shame Sony stopped supporting it so early. But even still, it has a very respectable catalogue.
Vita. Once you mod it, which is easy and recommended, you can play any PSP game on it you might want, on a slightly bigger screen, with much better controls.
You can get a mint condition Japanese PSP-1000 for about a quarter of the price of a Vita! If you solder in a 5000-6000 mah battery you can get some 14+ hours of gameplay between charges! You can also fit a ton of games on a cheap 64-128gb microsd with a $3 adapter, and adding a USB-C port so it charges with the same cable as everything else is pretty easy!
I had a 3000 model. I bought it only because a coworker told me that it was trivially easy to install CFW and run my own local ISOs from the memory card, and a bunch of us would play pirated copies of Shinobido and Macross together on breaks.
That thing was a surprisingly capable little device. I lost mine a while back, and I honestly kinda miss it sometimes.
Modded PSPs were the best way of playing retro games on the go for the longest time, I'd say it's only very recently that portable android consoles have even come close
You tried hardmodding it? Soldering in a USB-C port and a massive internal battery is apparently even easier on the 1000 than on the 3000 that I did it on!
Loved my Vita, but they were so stingy with those memory cards. Out of spite I never upgraded my storage so only ever had like 2 games on it at a time lol.
You reminded me I got a SD2Vita at some point, then I moved before I could try it and now I'm not sure where it is. I need to go scour my handheld shelves and boxes.
I'm not using a PS Vita, but I recently moved from pure Steam Link app to Moonlight and Sunshine (amd GPU) and I'm flabbergasted at how well it works so fucking better than Steam Link. It's like being in front of your main monitor.
