PSP Is Still Awesome In 2024

The PSP released 20 years ago, but is it still worth using? Or should it be left in the past.
Thank you for watching the video, leave a like would you kindly?

Either your window is open or your place is haunted

I still take my PSP on flights to listen to music and play some classics. I did buy a Vita again recently, so maybe I'll switch it up. But it's awesome.

[@ChrisPTenders]

The PSP library is in such a nice sweet spot between old and new, with that classic polygonal video game aesthetic, not quite HD, but not quite full on retro.

[@danielgomez7236]

You may have to set your router to WEP wifi security mode or security disabled i.e. no password WEP mode may require an old router

[@Dean123123100]

WPA works too, WPA2 I'm not sure because I haven't used my PSP in so long, but so long as it's 2.4G and at most on WPA (again WPA2 might work but specifically on TKIP/AES) it will connect. I used to connect mine on WPA or WPA2

[@Asaylum117]

I still have my PSP 1000 model, but I have been using my PS Vita more, since a lot of PSP games are much easier to play on the Vita, then on the original PSP., because two analog sticks just makes gaming easier. I still think the PSP is still worth it, since the feel of the console still feels nice and a lot of PSP games are still fun to play even to this day. It's also cheaper then a PS Vita, so if people want a handheld console that plays PS2 like games on the go that doesn't cost too much money, then the PSP is the way to go.

psp is also great to emulate ps1, gb, gbc, and gba. I haven't tried the nes or snes on it but I'm sure it would do a good job.

[@Watermelon-wf7gb]

nes and snes emulation on the psp is great

[@JacobGerken-md4bb]

​@@thelastofus2872any links for good website to download ps1 games ? Just modded mine last night!!

[@BigWhiteCloud]

The sticks are actually so bad on slim Vita, made me struggle so much on Ratchet and Clank, so I had to sell it 😢 I tried aftermarket sticks too, got 3 different pairs, but that didn’t help much

[@GamingYoshi64]

PSP had some amazing games. While I dont use one anymore I have a lot of games loaded up on my Retroid Pocket 3+. Games look and run perfectly on it

[@relax4531]

honestly i was thinking about getting one cause this generation of handheld was so cool and jail breaking and and holy the umds and everything

[@JDM417]

I still use the PSP every once in a while. It plays NES, SNES, SEGA GENESIS, GBA and more very well. It holds a special place in my heart. Love that little handheld. The PS Vita emulation is amazing as well and for far more games.

[@Jody-sl7hy]

your content is always up-to-date and on point!

[@AzrealAsItGets]

I love the PSP and I think it was amazing, but unless you just really love the hardware or your a collector then your better off getting a vita and modding it. It's just a way better value. Love these vids btw. Keep up the great work!👍

[@MatthewYap]

Bought it again today, feels very light and great. I love it

[@dragoon1090]

I have an IPS modded PSP 1000 for nostalgia and a PSVita OLED for actually playing on. I absolutely adore PSP. I didn't have an iPod right away as a kid. I used my PSP for everything. Once I found out about custom firmware I was instantly hooked. I have 128 GB in my PSP and less than a gig left. I really like this system.

[@aklmax_]

Two games id recommend checking out are daxter and def jam fight for ny. They were my most played games on psp growing up along with gta vice city stories

[@nathanglynn7443]

I play my modded psps and vitas on the daily. I have a psp street that’s just psp games, a psp 1000 that’s psp ps1 and a few other systems, the vita oled that has a tonne of systems and a vita 2000 which is just ps1 psp and vita games

[@demonhunter7861]

I used to use mine for music and movies all the time on vacation when I was a kid. Was amazing and still is.

[@sinhang007]

I got a PSP a few months ago. I remembered watching some KZbin videos on how to connect to the Internet. I ended up using my phone as a hotspot to connect with the PSP. That seemed the easiest way. I only wanted to update the firmware.

[@FernandGon82]

I couldn't stop watching the curtain handle after it was focused on the screen. Great video though!

[@aaronboggs9094]

I used to watch movies all the time on car rides with my psp. I’ve replaced the screen 3 times. I was a rough child haha.

[@Kor3Gaming_Ghost]

I really miss my psp idk where it is but am gonna still buy one again this year i use to play gta liberty city stories on that long ago ....damm what a game

[@urmango8670]

Made my day by seeing this upload

[@shermanfella6042]

Man, This Guy is so Real. Literally with everything he does and says.....Love it man!

[@krowan477]

goat? what u think about nintendo 3DS?

[@term-827]

Sony said that they saw the PSP as the Walkman of the 21st Century, a pop culture icon to be adored for many years on and safe to say, Sony hit the nail on the head spot on with that assumption. With a vibrant homebrew community, plenty of titles to play, being able to load your own music and videos on the go, a selection of hit movies to watch on UMD, and a plethora of fun accessories, Sony put in their all with the psp, and it shows in spades, its truly the greatest handheld of the 2000's.

[@aaronkemp7789]

If you play a PSP FPS on a Vita (via Adrenaline), you can map the face buttons (aiming) to the second analog stick, which makes that type of game much more playable.

[@samwaldinger3914]

Man I just hope u know I’ve been watching u from the mlb the show days and ur still maybe the most unironically hilarious person I think I’ve ever watched . Just keep doing what ur doing plus as always appreciate the content . Ur a G

[@MikeRay1978]

The funniest. Watching him go up 7 runs in a 3 inning game and immediately be horrified that it happened and tell the camera “that’s actually the worst thing that could have happened “ made me howl laughing. He’s so defeatist it’s awesome.

[@jride3121]

psp is still champ for me this year 2024 still good to play.right now still playing my psp slim 2000.

[@GhostRorouni]

I just recently bought a PSP 1000 used but it won't charge and I'm trying to find a solution for it to keep a charge but I don't regret buying the handheld

[@aaronkemp7789]

In order to connect to the internet, your WiFi security can only be WEP or completely open, not WPA. WEP isn't really used anymore, for good reason.

[@rasenganb41vtx]

Wheres the best site to get a vita?

[@KabukiKid]

I jailbroke my PSP back in the day and that thing was an emulation powerhouse for its day! Wow, did that thing get a ton of use! I fully admit that my poor little PSP hasn't been touched in quite a long time, though... the Vita can perfectly emulate the PSP... and truly, some games are even better on the Vita, due to faster load times and that second analog stick for certain titles. I loved my PSP, but the Vita is my current love.

[@octoputt]

Still playing my PSP and some games got english patches like yakuza spinoff kurohyu like dragon

[@killerclown3048]

How can we get rdr2 in psvita????

[@joelchrono]

The easiest way to connect to wi-fi on this is to use your phone to make a password-less network hotspot

[@clarktubeyt]

I have still have my psp and i love it till this day. I've been downloading yt videos and mp3 music for car trips and wherever I'm at. Holding a psp in public is like holding a cat with a leash on it and feeling stupid. Gaming on a psp is goated till this day so yeah it's amazing. If i own a vita one day then I'll take a gander at it

[@MhiIraji]

Send a group of ghostbusters to your house or you will need a exorcist.🤣🤣🤣

[@Freakingeazzy]

Best way to connect the PSP to internet is via your phone hotspot, and make sure it security is WPA-2. No need to change your router/modem settings.

[@s-obsydie]

Use your phone hotspot and turn off security on it

[@JHMProduction]

This is my favorite console of all time I mod mine

[@TheMagno619]

You should do gameplay of ps3 games

[@shanetyler9391]

Grand turismo megaman maverick hunter X and Megaman powered up are all really good so is Street Fighter

Let me just stop you right there before I watch the video; Yes, yes it is still worth it.

[@rintochicki7251]

HONEY, COME DOWN HERE, HE MADE A NEW VIDEO!

[@stevenyarnell9317]

I just bought 3 psp games today lmao

[@carlbman]

I noticed u hasn't talked about Nintendo consoles

[@Playinfakeepzzz]

He needs to make a video on the New 3ds Xl for sure

[@dandragon1st]

2,4 GHz and no password protection. PSP security protocol do not have any other way

[@Marcelocostache]

A moded psp with 128gb sd card is 🐐.

[@LightSnackProductions]

Internet on those sucks , I owned one back in the day , trust me , not worth it

[@gingersbeer1]

This guy kinda gives off that Jerry Seinfeld mixed with that zen guy from American pie that bangs Stifler's mom vibe 😂 I think he maybe Jewish Shalom!

[@tonygicz8]

I just got a switch a couple weeks ago it's my first Nintendo console I mainly game on my PlayStation and Xbox but I'm excited to experience the Nintendo exclusives 😎

[@DrDIYhax]

I love psp to this day I still use all 14 of mine ❤😂

[@enragedbacon470]

i think the psp cant connect because it uses depreciated security standards for wifi and most modern routers do not support them You could get an old access point that supports wep and hook it up to your network to get the psp online, but that puts a security risk on your network unless you turn it off when you arent using the psp

[@robmalcolm8042]

Can do phone hotspots too but that's unsafe since you need to turn off the security of the Hotspot for the psp to be able to use it.

[@Narum777]

If you want to add the most up to date custom firmware to mod your PSP I recommend watching the video by "MCD Network" titled "How To Mod Any PSP Using ARK-4". I used his video and it was simple and easy!

[@voteDC]

The PSP isn't even the best way to play its own games any longer, let alone anything else. Pretty much the only reason to own one is if you have a UMD movie collection that you can't let go of. Want official hardware then the Vita is going to give a better experience. Quite frankly emulation gives a far superior experience to original hardware these days.

[@dandragon1st]

I think when PS Vita started to be so easy to mod... PSP is no longer worth it. Battery may not be easy to replace now

[@Peanut.751]

Under 24 hours

[@KabukiKid]

The PSP only supports WPA, not WPA2 for Wi-Fi... so yeah, your current router probably doesn't support it.

[@adamkane7513]

I always go back to my PSP. Some great games, I never watched movies on it. MP3s worked OK but I had a better one at the time.

[@8bitnation419]

No just give it to me.

[@dacicus2978]

Bad things ? So RROD ,YLOD….well I think this are the worst

[@Momo4060i]

Short answer, no. You can emulate PSP games even on patato phones these days with much higher resolution and way better framerate. The PSP was an incredible system in it's hay day but nowadays there's simply no need for the original hardware.

[@MrSkullMerchant]

And i would still simple use the og hardware 👊 lol

[@Momo4060i]

@@MrSkullMerchant I respect the enthusiasts 👍 but for average folk, who just want to play some PSP games, emulation is the better and easier way.

[@MrSkullMerchant]

@@Momo4060i thats fair im just a purist, plus i still got all my psp games physicaly

u cant do it with emulator. You can just emulate some games ​@@Momo4060i

[@saidaniyassine6350]

there is no reason that will make you buy a PSP in 2024 hell no the PS Vita to come to everything the PSP games the PSP Vita games I want device that's worth the money

[@edwinmulero491]

I love both but I only go back to my psp for nostalgia and because I love playing games on original hardware is there a reason for someone to buy a psp no because you can play all psp games on a modded vita as well as other consoles such as the dream cast and n64 the vita gives you more than what the psp can but I will always play both

[@Playinfakeepzzz]

PSP better.

[@n64fan60]

Short answer; no, just have a decent smartphone.

[@Jeustful]

It has an integrated controller. Unlike the smartphone where you have to add some kind of peripheral which makes it unconfortable.

[@n64fan60]

@Jeustful Nacons are uncomfortable? Err.. nope. DualShock 4 is uncomfortable? NOPE 😆 PSP is cool and all, but buying one now is a nostalgia move. There's nothing a PSP can play that my phone can't. My phone can even play PSP games at 1440p/60fps. If a button or the sticks go on my Nacon = I buy a new Nacon. If the buttons/sticks go on my PSP, best case scenario is a costly repair, worst case is a bricked PSP. You buy a PSP now, in 2024, for nostalgia. Which is fine, just don't pretend that the PSP is some great choice for portable gaming for the average person, when they already have something in their pocket which is better.

[@Jeustful]

@@n64fan60 it's not as comfortable as a PSP. That thing is light, easy to store and comfortable to play.

[@n64fan60]

@Jeustful My phone is so light and comfortable that it goes in my pocket. What I'm saying is that there's no angle from which a PSP is superior to my phone. The screen is far worse, I doubt that it weighs less, the old battery will want replacing, the buttons/sticks will be worn-in, etc etc. If you buy a PSP, it's because you want a PSP - not because you want an excellent portable gaming device, you already have one of those. You use it every day. It's your phone. I have a 300 dollar phone, and it can play everything right up to PSP/Dreamcast at HD resolutions. If I wanna drop it down to 720p, I can even play GameCube on it.

[@Jeustful]

@@n64fan60 while playing in a good phone is great and overall better than playing on a PSP as you have access to newer games and more emulation, you don't have buttons or joystick. Also if you're to get them, you have to get a peripheral, which unlike with the PSP, it won't be as pratical and probably as comfortable. I bought a PSP almost a decade ago, and played it yesterday and it is still awesome. It's light, small, has a comfortable shape. Just awesome! Obviously a PSP can't play modern games, but as a gaming machine it offers by far the best experience, and it's portable. No bringing along a peripheral required.

[@jasonwright9405]

Vita is better. PSP is out into the 🚮

[@Playinfakeepzzz]

PSP sold way more units and has a way better game library. Only good thing about the vita is hardware.

[@Mintcar923]

Last year I’d have probably agreed with you.. Since then my PSV died and my far older PSP 3000 still alive and never better
