OMG 😳 The DooM Mod at 10:38, i worked on that!! There was this dude going by sin (alias sinsin or sin_pl) and he did the dust1 map, while i did dust2, assault, italy and aztec. I was in love with it because it ran on my Symbian S60 phone from Nokia. With Markus Mertamas C2Doom port for s60 you could play DooM WADs, even including bluetooth multiplayer! We played this CS mod for doom for hours during class, it was awesome! Edit: If anyone here by any chance has the WAD files for "CounterStrike" aka "CounterDOOM" please let me know. A fatal HDD error in the early 2010s deleted all my project folders. Seeing my work referenced in one of my subscribed creators videos is just... i cant describe how awesome it is. and it makes me wish to find these files again. So if anyone has them, PLEASE get in touch with me. its almost two decades ago, and id love to have them again. Thanks in advance!

I only recently got a PSP in 2023 and got a 2nd one for LAN play in 2024. Not only have I loved using them, but flicking through the pre-owned hard drives which the owners decided not to wipe really reassured what you said at the beginning of the video. The first one was owned by a kid called Jake in 2010. He had a PSP Camera, and what was in the gallery was the kind of thing that children my age would have took on a Dsi or 3DS. The second one was owned by an English "lad" in his late teenage to early adult years named Alex. He used it to store old photos of his mates at the pub, had TONS of music stored onto it (153 tracks to be specific, so we probably know what he used the most) and what gave me the biggest laugh was that in the video folders was EXCLUSIVELY pornography. That had me laughing for the whole day. So yeah, i can definitely confirm what you said in the intro.

[@DiddlyDoink]

I've had a theory brewing in my head, given the era and market for the PSP it was probably one of the biggest storage mediums for pornography. It was at the time where magazines were leaving the top spot, the internet wasn't yet the juggernaut of naughty stuffs where you could just stream 8 hours of whatever you please. It's only a theory though because I rarely bother to ask someone how they stored porn like 2 decades ago

I used to carry my CFW PSP-3000 everywhere with me. I would download youtube videos like Idiots of Garry's Mod and Arby & The Chief and watch them on it, I would download a Stepmania port called PSP Revolution and play the heck out of it, I had software that let you rip your DVDs into a format and resolution that PSP recognized, and I watched stuff like Riddick: Pitch Black and Austin Powers: Goldmember on it, and it essentially became my new game boy advance using gpSP because I could either watch Shrek 2 via Game Boy Video or watch my DVD rip in much, _much_ higher quality while carrying my game boy advance collection with me. You have to understand, at the time, the closest thing we had to a portable DVD player were chunky... Well, portable DVD players that were the size of small laptops, until laptops themselves could just play DVDs. It's hard to explain to people who are used to smartphones nowadays that can just _do_ all that stuff now just how novel all of that was at the time since we hadn't experienced the iphone yet. There was truly no portable experience like it, phone or otherwise. The closest thing I have ever done in my entire life that recaptured this kind of feeling of tinkering with a portable device this hard and reaping huge benefits from it is messing around with DeckyLoader plugins on a Steam Deck.
