PSP 2000 hanging around somewhere. Thing was awesome. UMDs where a wild choice tho.
Thankfully softmodding them to launch games of the memory stick was super easy
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
I always wanted a PSP but never got one. I really wish Sony would come out with another.
I remember prying open whatever the specific PSP battery you had to use to make a Pandora’s battery. Used my Dad’s magnifying lense and a needle to sever the connection, and got custom firmware running. Such a cool feeling
You came late to the modding scene then. I bought mine secondhand so I had a PSP with firmware 1.52 that could be modded. Since the newer 2.0 firmware was still unhackable. (soon after you could mod version 2.0 with a gta savegame hack)
So many good memories. I really loved the PSP modding scene.
