Man, i still remember my late dad coming up to me while I was watching TV and said "do you want the new Playstation? And what games do you want?". Fast-forward to later that night, he bought me a PSP and the game was Medievil: Ressurection, and the date of purchase was 6/6/06, so quite ironic! I still have it along with the console's box.

Thanks dad, I hope to see you again someday ❤️.

Don't forget that you can also compress PSP games from iso to cso without any downsides such as longer loading times. That can shave down the filesize tremendously. I'm talking anywhere between 10% - 80% less space required per game. There's a tool simply called PSP iso compressor that can do this.

Jesus, man... just looking at the Portal and the Portable together makes me wonder how Sony could've lost their way this badly in terms of console design. The PSP is timeless, I want to play games on that NOW! The portal I want to chuck at my enemies, as if it were some ancient, self-defensive hand axe...

I still have my PSP 2000 Dexter edition (custom firmware) I bought in 2006. Sony was ahead of its time back then. I hope they could make a portable console that could play ps1, PS2, PS3 and PSP.

ETA there's also a recent mod for the GO called the PSP Go Power Armor. It's a replacement back plastic shell which is a lot thicker to accommodate a PS Vita 1000 battery which can give you much better battery life.

This console has so many great games. Playing Jeanne D'Arc for PSP right now actually

I recall that my 1st memory stick duo in 2005 only had 64 MB of storage. Not GB. This was before games were stored on PSPs.
Insane.

this is a great video to stumble upon like a week after i just got my first ever psp go. I had the normal psp 1000s a growing up when they came out and always wanted a psp go and now i finally do all these years later. But that said ive finally got the sd adapter on the way and new battery and im really excited to try all of these homebrews and loading up the library. Thanks again!

Man the PSP Go brings back so much nostalgia. I had a white one back in the day. Such a sleek system that was ahead of its time.

Every time someone makes a video about the PSP Go, the price increases tenfold.

How does the PSP keep getting updates in 2023? It's amazing.

Crazy timing on this, I literally took my PSP Go that was just sitting in a drawer out last night. I was browsing for storage options but the original cards are super expensive and I thought the other mods needed saughtering. I was thinking of wiping the emulators from it and dedicating it to playing PSP games only since I have better options for emulating other stuff.

Crazy how this and the DS co-existed.

Edit: In the sense that both companies did a bang up job releasing quality games for both platforms. The PSP was obviously more diverse and powerful, but that isn't to say the DS didn't have fantastic games with greater accessibility.

The PSP was way, way ahead of it's time when it released and still remains one of my favorite handhelds ever. The thought that there are people working hard to keep this wonderful little handheld alive warms my gaming soul. ❤

This is fantastic news! I think it’s time I purchase that SD adapter and boot up the old PSPGo. I really love the portability of the Go and having the dock and PS3 controller is going to be a killer combo! I’ve only used my dock once. 😅

Awesome video! I just broke out both my PSP and PSP Go yesterday for a much needed battery charge. I was hunting around for the M2 storage cards and they're pretty costly so I might have to implement that hack you suggested.

I've literally been waiting for someone to do a storage mod like that for over half a decade, I'm definitely doing that to my PSP Go when I can. I also have a Vita which is still one of my primary gaming systems, but you literally cannot beat the portability of the Go. Damn near any pocket could fit one.

ahead of its time. This probably would've flourished in the late 2010's - present

You should also attempt modding the back cover to accommodate a bigger battery. It also makes the PSP go much more nicer to grip, not to mention, bigger battery life

Looking at the PSP Go, always reminds me of the Xperia Play, and I wish that the smartphone had actually succeeded, because having your phone act in as your handheld was a very innovative idea at the time, but the way Sony handled it wasn't well because it was pretty pricey, and did not have the specs to back it up as you could just get a Galaxy Note, which was way better and buy a bluetooth gamepad for a far better experience, but nonetheless nowadays we have things like the ROG Ally or the ROG Phone series, so there is proof that this market has always existed and there is demand for it, but the problem is that its not very affordable which is they are not big successes.
