Sony PSP BUYING GUIDE & Great Games

[@keenanchristensen6812]

Funny story, I was selling my psp online and a family wanted to buy it. I met them, working class people... car smelt like beer and cigarettes, the psp was for the son and I had a few games included... They saw the grand theft auto game in the stack and said "this is too violent", after a 10 minute conversation I gave it to them for almost free, and passed the kid the GTA game without them seeing, hahaha the look on his face was absolutely priceless... Cheers Metal Jesus!!!!

[@seppomuppit]

Beer and smokes don't go with GTA. It's just too violent.

I love how genuine these videos are. The fact that Metal Jesus gets to talk with his friends about their personal favorite systems, games, memories with all of them is a joy to watch and it's not scripted or acted like our current popular content.

[@UnknownJorge]

8 years later this guide has been a huge help in me picking up a PSP for the first time. Thank you for these

[@DreamcastGuy]

I have a HUGE PSP collection and I would highly recommned Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, Twisted Metal Head On, Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, and Lumines. These are just a few off the top of my head that I played for hundreds of hours!

[@Jakenontix]

I LOVE my PSPs (i have 2). Fun to own and hack, even in 2018. Emulators run pretty well. Me and my friends had a blast playing multiplayer on granturismo and taking turns playing mario. There are also a crap ton of games that i still haven't tried. Plus PSPs cheap nowadays. If you have friends like me who used to have PSPs but dont use it anymore/broke it then just ask them for the memory stick so you can download more games. The game library is huge! Especially if you add games from the emulators. You can emulate tons of consoles like the Ps1, sega genesis, SNES, NES, atari, gameboy, gameboy advanced and others. You could just do that on your phone. But in my opinion it's waaayy better to play on a device with buttons than one with akward touch controls. Well that's what i think. Damn i just realized this is a bit of a long ass comment. Nobody is probably gonna see this but i dont care! The PSP is a great system!! Edit: Holy crap a few people actually saw this yay

[@plank8989]

@JINNN I think it was mostly because of good marketing and actual support for the system. Sony have always been retarded in that shit. They have this enormous ego that their products are like apple.

the thing about the UMD is that if the plastic covering the disk is piped in or out, the PSP can't play, a temporary fix is pushing the metal part of the disk lightly until the plastic is back in place, and a fix for memory sticks are placing a piece of toilet paper or a tissue oon the memory stick and insert it in

[@guitarspud1723]

My brother in law traded me his PSP 2000 for a 6 pack. Best 7 dollars ever spent!

[@RJ-cq8dd]

To me the 3000 is the essential PSP. It's the only PSP that lets you hook it up to a crt tv. I use this exclusively for all of my favorite ps1 games: Full screen, s video quality,..sweet! Also it literally is the Playstation portable: play all those ps1 classics anywhere. PSP is awesome.

[@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective]

3000 is the best all rounder easily but I wouldn't knock the Go or the Street because the Go is a console that really does fit into your pocket and comes with great storage and the Street is really comfortable and has a great dust/smudge proof screen.

[@dokurochan2076]

I actually prefer the 1000 mainly because of its tank build quality. I know there is no TV output but it doesn't matter much to me.

[@Vamptonius]

Dokuro Chan I just got a 1002 (some replacement batteries for the ready-to-explode one it came with won't arrive until August, :-( ). But it has the TV connection next to the headphone jack that's only supposed to be on the 2000. Any idea what the deal is there?

Some things that definitely need to be mentioned.. 1. Fuck Memory Stick Duo. Get a microSD adapter, that way you can use ANY microSD and boom. It's not even a proprietary format so you can use it for multiple things. There's even dual microSD converters so you can combine two. 2. The 3000 lets you use composite cables as well, not just component. 3. Homebrewing. Yes, most people are gonna install CFW to pirate games, however, I really feel that the PSP must be credited with it's amazing homebrew scene. It is THE best handheld emulation machine around pretty much. I got my first PSP last year so I'm super late to the PSP party, but it is pretty amazing. I had a Vita before PSP and I just can't grasp how they fucked up the Vita so bad. All they should had done was a PSP with a second analog stick and much beefier specs.

[@TorqueEffect]

Should have also talked about the ergonomics of the different PSPs, because lets face it, even through the PSP 1000 had the worst screen and had slower UMD loading because of having half the RAM of the others, it felt the best in your hands because it was thicker and had better hand grips that weren't glossy, and just overall had the best build quality. The 2000-3000 were thinner and didn't have the bulging hand holds on the back, and only certain colors gave you the matte finish on the back (Like the Silver 2000 model), and the Black Glossy PSP 2000 & 3000s just looked nasty with fingerprints. While the PSP Go's ergonomics are abysmal, just think of an old slideout keyboard from a cellphone, BUT you forgot to mention the PSP Go had a dock that let you hook it up to the TV, and while using the dock you could sync PS3 controllers to the go, basically making it the precursor to the PSTV.

I think the only way you can really mess it up is if you disconnect it from power. It is pretty easy to do you just need to find the software or files to make a magic memory stick and buy a pandora battery or make one.If you make the memory stick you will need very basic coding experience.Making a pandora battery is harder. I would definitely try to just find someone on craigslist that will let you use theirs or buy it for 20 dollars.

No

[@Asaylum117]

Mostly, because allot of Vita games were just PS3 games, only hand held. :/

[@patrick-mj4fc]

Exactly, that's what I've been trying to say.

[@kimberlyjohnston2726]

Late last year I found a PSPGO at a thrift store for like $15. No cables, no idea if it worked. Bought a charging cable online and...it is ALWAYS being used! My BF and I use it (and our PSTV) for our PSone games we bought off the store, as well as other PSP games we've picked up on sales in the store. It's a bit of a pain to add games to it now that they've discontinued the store directly to the GO, but it's small enough to throw in a pocket (instead of a bag/purse needed for the 3DS/Vita/Switch) and pull out while waiting.

[@littlegloom]

I would've gotten a psp go if it weren't for the PPSSPP emulator.. I mean I can play psp games in 1080p on my phone (and my laptop) and it's just amazing. Persona 3 portable and gran Turismo looks amazing on that emulator

[@TheZacharyMartinShow]

I have been crushing on the PSP again. Feels good to go back to classics

[@paulnixon4489]

New suscriber from the UK and I think you guys are ace, very relaxed and informative.

[@nanashinanashi1174]

I've got my psp 2000 modded, love backing up my games and movies to the card and playing it all on the big screen

[@arfuiri1797]

That sounds great

[@QJSquall]

"Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions" is amazing to play on the system.

[@thiagobujnowski5651]

Some Attacks animations are really Slow. Don't know why. Gafgarion signature attack looks slow motion on the PSP. It was way faster on the PS1. First I thought it was my PSP processing power that was lacking but then I got the VITA e it has the Same problem. Attack Animations kinda a Lag.

[@greenkidd529]

I liked jeanne darc a little more, but yes its fantastuic and the best verison of tactics

[@crim8649]

How could you mention Portable Ops but not Peace Walker smh

[@alabrecque3]

and crisis core!

[@crim8649]

Labrecteck Yeah that's another great one

[@Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective]

To be fair Metal Gear Acid is okay whereas Metal Gear Acid 2 is actually a really decent game.

[@crisp9929]

Adam The Gamer Nobody was even talking about Acid.

[@markasscop]

portable ops is still a psp exclusive,whereas peace walker got console ports

[@cloudstrife1983]

When.Reggie said the last game is an RPG, I KNEW it would be Trails...

Ha! We think alike

[@ReverendLamar]

Haven't had a psp in a solid 10 years and someone just gifted me one for Christmas. I had mentioned wanting another one as well as collecting for the systems I grew up on now that I'm on my own so came back to this one

[@DJICEMAN_73]

i LOVE my psp gos (i have 2) these things are a hackers dream. i have all my emulators on them

[@Trifton]

Me too!

[@FennecTECH]

ive got a white go that i bought for 50$

[@SZF123456]

Just got mine, fucking PERFECT these days especially since you can play so much on it now with custom firmware. I can see why people in the past shat on it, but man it really was ahead of it's time.

[@supersurge2863]

SZF123456 I got a Xperia play......the Xperience was horrible and sadly not what I expected, really dissapointed. Part of it was due to the fact that it had a custom firmware and that psxe ( ps one emulator ) runs like crap despite me watching reviews in which it runs like butter. The only thing worth playing is snes and Gba < :)....but the headphone jack is broken. . . . bought off Amazon for $50. I regret my desicion but regardless I still achieved my goal of figuring how well it fit in the hand. this is long.

[@realtalk6162]

BROOKLYNDJICEMAN can u pleaseeee explain to me what to download for like neo geo and snes?...I am terrible with computers and tried to download files and messed up.

[@MagicAccent]

Believe it or not, one of my favourite PSP games is the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed port. Imo, it's even better than the pc/console versions. It has so much content, highly recomment it!

[@Jon-Patrick-S]

I'd say it's very worthwhile to buy both the PSP version and the Ultimate Sith Edition for (then) next-gen consoles.

[@takashiari1598]

The Problem for me is the framerate

[@RougaSF]

Really two pleasant guys to listen to. Rare on YT these days

[@monytontana5184]

Midnight Club: LA Remix is the best PSP racer in my opinion. Tons of cars, fully customizable. Massive open world. Killer soundtrack. And that classic arcade style driving with a realistic look.

[@Obscur888]

Just got a used PSP rewatching with joy this video for great advices !

[@Obscur888]

Hey i got a 3001!

[@barryredfield]

I recently started to pick up some PSP games to build up a collection; many based on your recommendations such as Jeanne D'arc, Motorstorm: Arctic Edge, and Legend of Heroes: Trails of the sky. There are some that I'm just not interested in like Locoroco and Patapon, but your picks seem to coincide with those that almost consistently pop up in must play or greatest game lists online. You have an awesome collection and seem like a fun guy I'd love to meet in person. I am almost in my forties and I'm glad to know that there are others my age that enjoy the PSP as much as I do.

[@johnandbrianversus5082]

Was Reggie in a hurry ? should of told him to take off his jacket and stay a while.

[@8bitDNA]

+John and Brian Versus haha I was wondering the same thing, but Reggie is always chill. It was probably cold out or he was trying to be fashionable lol

+8bitDNA Or he just forgot to take it off lol

[@russwaddel08]

Games I would recommend for you if you love RPG's: Final Fantasy 1 (20th Anniversary Edition) Final Fantasy II (20th Anniversary Edition) Final Fantasy IV The Complete Collection Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions (PS1 remake) Ys 1 and 2 Chronicles Ys The Oath in Felghana (Ys 3 remake, truly one of the most overlooked games of all time) Ys The Ark of Napishtim(?) (number 6 in the Ys series) Ys Seven Lunar: Silver Star Harmony (remake of a remake) Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together Tales games (they mentioned one in the video, but any of the games are great) Jeanne D'Arc Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep 3rd Birthday (part of the Parasite Eve games) Dissidia Final Fantasy Dissida 012 Duodecim Final Fantasy Dungeons and Dragons Tactics EA Replay (Ultima VII: The Black Gate) Star Ocean: First Departure Star Ocean: Second Evolution (remake of Star Ocean The Second Story on PS1) Sega Genesis Collection (Phantasy Star games, Sword of Vermillion and Golden Axe) These will keep you busy for YEARS. Seriously, I own (or have played) these games in one form or another. Get them, play them. If you are a Final Fantasy Fan like me, this system was GOLD for the Final Fantasy Lover: Final Fantasy I and II, IV the complete collection (three games in one!), Crisis Core (one of the BEST action-rpg's on the MARKET), The FFTactics remake, and both Dissidia games. Also, as a bonus, the two Star Ocean games. Plus, Star Ocean Til the End of Time was (I think) put up on the PSP Playstation Store. And this just scratches the surface of this console's RPG lineup. PS-To all of you Ys fans: This system had 5 Ys games!! And to you Lunar Fans: This system has the DEFINITIVE version of Lunar The Silver Star. I haven't had the pleasure of playing Harmony yet, but OH MAN have people RAVED about it.

[@3v4d35]

Hey man, is Final Fantasy VIII available on the PSP?

[@russwaddel08]

@@3v4d35 only on the Playstation store, unfortunately. If you want to play it, you have to either A) log into the PS Store from your computer, buy it and download it to a PSP Memory Card (or straight to the PSP itself); or B) have a PS3 and a micro-USB cable. Link to the PS Store and buy FFVII there and sync your PSP to the PS3 and download the game from there. Those are the only two ways now that the wireless network protocols have changed beyond the PSP's capabilities.

[@3v4d35]

@@russwaddel08 Thanks for responding Russ, with that kind of limitation you'd nearly think they didn't want people to buy the game! I have a 1GB Memory Card is that going to be sufficent or would I need to get another one?

[@russwaddel08]

@@3v4d35 I don't remember the size of the game. It should be fine though. Between that and the PSP internal memory. As such, the PSP was meant to be obsolete at some time. Otherwise, Sony would have released updated protocols for the WiFi. If you have a PSVita, you can download straight from the PS Store, because the Vita is still being supported, even if they aren't making that many games for it.

[@3v4d35]

@@russwaddel08 I went on there and had a look Russ but I noticed that it was an Amercian version, does that work on a European PSP?

[@spikexyz]

I just found my psp a few days ago while going through my old stuff , surprisingly enough , it worked ! It was working fine even though I just turned it on after a few years . Will def check some games out and maybe buy some !

[@DJLuckeyLu]

I really liked Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters and Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles back then! I still play Castlevania from time to time. Also, Persona 3 Portable was good, too!

[@christurnblom4825]

The best thing about the PSP was besides the games is definitely the modding. Being able to save loading time by putting them on a chip you can even shrink the size a little & save loading time or shrink them a lot and have similar loading times. You can take you old PSX games and convert them to ISO's and run them and there is a near unlimited amount of apps for them. I had a drum machine, a guitar effects processor and a mixer, for instance. The open source community was huge and I'm sure you can still find thousands of apps for them. More emulators than I can count too. However, I wish they would have kept the IR interface. It's nice to be able to change the channel at the Dr.'s office. I still have a 1000 just because of the universal remote capability, although I can't find codes lists anymore. ...any help would be appreciated.

[@AMNSRCN1997]

My working dad and mom bought and send me psp 2000 from Japan along with monster hunter and coded arm games. God knows I will remember the moment till my last breath, I heard the news from my sister, at the time I was in my school hostel and as soon as I got to get home during holidays, got it on my hands and the joy of booting it on and the big smile on my face and the invaluable joy of happiness. Thanks mom and dad. I love you a lot 😘😘

[@hundun5604]

Top games I miss here in the comments are; FIFA14, Football Manager13, Monster Hunter unite, X-men legends2, Tekken: Dark Res., Gran Turismo, GTA: China Town, MGS: Peace Walker, Tactics Ogre, Syphon Filter, Disgaea. It depends a bit on what game category you like most.

[@grimsleeper5945]

For those with a Vita wanting to play a lot of these old PSP games, the Adrenaline emulator is great.

[@One2fix1982]

So good thank you! Just got into collecting the psp after years of not having one, had one on launch day as well, stood in line like Reggie! I’ve got one of each of all the models including the e1000 “street”. Thanks again, love the content!

[@devikwolf]

The PSP is tied with the GBA SP for my favorite handheld, and both for completely different reasons. I still play with both of them, usually at least weekly.

[@greenkidd529]

and now with CFW you can play GBA game son PSP making it just the best handheld of all time

i recommend god of war series (the two games), 3rd birthday, crisis core and kingdom hearts birth by sleep

I was a DS kid growing up, and my memories with that system are fantastic, but I always thought the PSP was amazing. I finally ordered one just the other day and I’m so excited to experience it!

Cool! I still have Silent Hill Shattered Memories for PS2.

[@Choomachech]

love Reggie and you doing videos together. awesome combo-o-o-o.

[@BrD4GOD]

I LOVE this video. The only criticism and problem that I've found in this video, which is amazing again lol just want to mention that I highly appreciate your content, is the issue of region benefits and pitfalls. Its been a task to find out more about this topic. There's actually a 1000 model and a 1001 model. Probably more but those are the US and Japan models. The digital storefront I believe is different as well and I think you can't watch movies in different regions. Its confusing and not really mentioned anywhere online. UMD also drained battery life more than the Vita because of the physical disc drive. But this video is so cool to watch and go back in time.
