Just bought a PSP 2000. It is my first PSP, what should I know?
I was very lucky to find an almost good-as-new PSP 2000 locally. I am very excited about it! It will need a new battery though and it only came with an USB charger. Would appreciate any tips pertaining chargers and batteries. But if you have any gaming related suggestions or general tips I'm open for that too :)
Get yourself a microSD to Ms pro duo card, and hack the shit out of it!
Also official batteries aren't made anymore as far as I know, so just find yourself a battery from a reputable source. Mind your model number if you do.
This is the #1 most important tip lol
Those proprietary memory sticks were really expensive even when they were being actively manufactured, canāt imagine what they must cost now
I'd recommend to check Cameron Sino batteries, they are often recommended as good aftermarket batteries.
As for games I recommend you the God of War Games, Patapon, Loco Roco and the Burnout games! If you are a fan of Dragon Ball you have some great games there too!
I absolutely adored that game! Im not normally a turn based game person too but the characters in that game were so entertaining to me for some reason.
I remember back when I had my 3004 mystic silver and messed around so much with CFW, I wouldn't be surprised if my love for tinkering was significantly due to it :D
I still love the plugin architecture of its OS. The entire device is very well designed from ground up and is really easy to develop for (even without an actual SDK).
It's no wonder why the homebrew scene was so good.
1000 was hackable without my Pandora battery. I had to use my Pandora battery to hack my friendsā 2000 models. I believe it is no longer needed. I still have it, because I love it.
You must play Metal Gear Acid. Metal Gear fans at the time hated it because it was a deckbuilding game and not at all what they were expecting, but itās brilliant. The sequel is okay but they simplified the deckbuilding so itās not quite as good.
Is the PSP still a viable (retro) console? I mean for more than just PSP games?
If I were to get into PSP ownership now for the purpose of retro gaming, which PSP would be good to start with? A 2000? Or 3000? Something newer? Is there some information I can read about getting started with this?
I've always been interested in the PSP, and I couldn't justify the purchase when it was new. Now that the PSP is relatively inexpensive, I'm seriously considering picking one up and toying with it.
That it's a great handheld that unfortunately doesn't have much of its own Identity, what it does have is effectively a mobile PS2 library, which is really fucking cool
