The PSP Go had an official dock (they're stupidly expensive now) where you can dock it and it'll output to the tv, like the component cables on the 2000 and 3000, but the Go had bluetooth so you could bluetooth your ps3 controller and play on your couch.

The PSP was wildly popular in the Philippines at the time, to the point that most cellphone repair shops offer jailbreaking and sideloading services for less than a UMD's worth, and that pickpockets would actually prefer nabbing a PSP over a DS.

The thing with the optical disk, or UMD disk as they are called, is that Sony did not want to distribute games on flash cards, or memory cards, as these were quite expensive back then and an optical disc was way cheaper. This was really remarkable from Sony to manage to shrink down a CD drive to that size and making the media more durable in the housing it came with.

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

No kidding. Have you seen the prices of what a 1GB or 2GB MSPRO stick cost back then? let alone... FOUR Gigabyte? And the PSP could only use Sony's expensive proprietary format and nothing else. So you had no options. Getting a Memory Stick would set you back as much as buying 1-2 games back then.

[@greenprotag]

I gotta be honest, I missed the entire PSP modding scene in that era. I "left" sony after my mini disk player and PS1. I played Nintendo, Xbox, and PC after that because most of the titles I was interested in were on those systems. I find myself more gravitating to SNES, GameCube, and select WiiU titles personally. Because I "missed the boat" I find myself VERY comfortable emulating on High end Android and the steamdeck because GameCube and PS2 are very accessible. I need to get back to the PS2 library a bit particularly in the case of shadow of the colossus. ALL of that being said, I can appreciate that the PSP was in many ways the "steamdeck" of it's era when it comes specifically to console emulation and portable gaming. It really shook up the space and was far more versatile than most of Nintendo's offerings. All of this makes me sad that sony left the space after the VITA, but if you look at the handheld market right now it's EXPLODING with every brad looking to get into the action. The SteamDeck, the Switch, the Logitech G-Cloud, the AYN Odin, OneXplayer, GPD Win 3 & 4... and on the low end Anbernic, Miyoo, Powkiddy, and many others contribute to an amazing space and I am constantly excited to see what is next.

[@Zark-Muckerberg]

Can't forget about the analogue pocket.

[@greenprotag]

@@Zark-Muckerberg It's like an apple product. Amazing design & premium feel, VERY overpriced. The Miyoo Mini does what the pocket can do and you could buy nearly 4x minis for the price of one Analogue Pocket. Software emulation performance is not perfect, but it's SO close that it's nearly a wash. I would say it's good competition for premium original hardware moded consoles but NOT from a price to performance perspective. Also if you wanted a "premium" handheld gaming experience you could easily step up to something like the Anbernic RG353m and get MORE power, hall sticks, and an aluminum shell OR go price to performance again and grab a RP3+ or RG505. RG353, RG505, and RP3+ ALL are under $200 and give you WAY more than the Analogue. I struggle to recommend the Analogue pocket to anyone except people who MUST have FPGA.

[@newkeyo]

I was actually super big into emulation for the PSP back in high school with the Pandora's battery and the magic memory stick. My favorite thing about the PSP is when it came out it wasn't able to actually run PlayStation 1 games, Sony didn't think you could emulate the PSX successfully until modders. Designed a custom file system known as the eboots, Sony ended up stealing the idea and just threw it on the PlayStation Network. After a while. It was the first time I saw the power of homebrew and modders outshine the manufacturers

[@GoTeamScotch]

Wait what? I thought the ps1 emulator was added to the firmware (which used eboots), then modders figured out the format of eboots and how to make their own from ps1 games.

333Mhz do be specific ;) The chip itself was allways capable of that speed, but in the early days Sony limited the Speed to 222Mhz for all games in order to squeeze more battery life out of it, they liftet this restriction during the lifespan and later more demanding games used 333Mhz by default. However, its indeed a great function to eliminate some stuttering, especially on earlier PSP games.

@@ErkanMehmedali that's basically true, but the CPU is designed for that speed, it's not like overclocking to an unsupported clockspeed where the chips aging would be accelerated drastically.

My dad got my brother and I MGS Portable Ops mid-late 2008. We were both early teens at the time. That game was our first online gaming experience and - as corny as this sounds - sorta shaped the trajectory of our lives thereafter. On top of playing the game for the following 4 years, we met people, I learned how to make websites for clans and stuff, that introduced me to more people and communities, etc etc. My teens were literally formed into what they were due to the PSP, and truthfully the only reason I shelved mine was because I finally got my Steam Deck back in July. Ol faithful is still under lock and key however, for when I get a “gamer urge” and don’t wanna take a whole travel bag to do so!

[@stavroGR]

Psp was my second portable console after long time (game gear) and got me into it for good till today (rog ally) 👍

[@JamesTDG]

I also still believe the PSP to be a modern marvel. Only issue I had with it was the removable storage. I have broken so many of these on accident

[@JTDontForgetMyMoney]

Gosh. I remember the days. Had a PSP 2000. Was the best hand held console I’ve ever had. Just did more.

[@Golden_AceDBD]

I found my side of youtube again :) loved my fat psp back in the day, it was way more robust than the slim version of my sibling, the disc opening was so flimsy xD. i remember to play hot wheels, killzone liberation, nfs most wanted 510, sport games, and many more , i still have all of them somewhere, maybe one day I give modding a shot :) awesome video !

[@TypeNineSSouldier]

I grew with a DS but I picked up a PSP recently for my birthday and I’m still amazed about the amount of features that the PSP had over the DS. Especially with Homebrew, it’s just more straightforward than DS/3DS modding and I’m still trying to find more ways to mod it now

[@frankurmom8741]

I did a battery mod on my psp. Its awesome. Removed the UMD drive and put in a cell phone battery. Charges super slow bc of the size but it lasts forever.

[@pacoramon9468]

PSP was ahead of its time, you could emulate Nintendo games better than on the Switch.

[@oliexe]

12:36 dude they sold 80 millions of these bad boys cmon 😂

[@mazda9624]

The PSP was such a beast back in the day. The console is still so fun to come back to that I still take it with me on every vacation I take and I actually stopped bringing my Switch because I never use it when my PSP is around.

[@satellitelazarus]

Do you think you might try and make a slim and quiet original Xbox?

[@BringusStudios]

Already in progress

6:40 Shamblers are like some of the toughest Quake 1 enemies so I don't blame you

[@onyxsolo1]

It's hard to imagine a day when you could actually let your kids at that age wander around in the mall without too much to worry about.

[@deen2000]

Shiddd you still can. Ain’t nobody at the mall anymore. They’re on the internet. That’s where I’m concerned about my son wondering around lol

[@blackwrits]

That day was already long gone by the 2000s. I wasn't alive before the 2000s myself. However, abduction and the like have been common since at least post-World War II.

[@onyxsolo1]

@@blackwrits Well, I was a 90s kid. It existed to an extent then. My parents would leave me in the arcade/game/toy store to wander freely but I wasn't really "suppose" to leave. And that was mainly because cell phones weren't a thing then and they didn't want to have to go looking for me. Today, I wouldn't take that risk even with today's cell phones. Watching this broght back a lot of nostalgia, sad how the times have changed in America. I have family overseas and there it's safe, but unfortunately not in the "good ol USA"

[@JpLabs1981]

PSP is my favorite console of all. It had a very dedicated community developing homebrews for everything that was possible to do with it. I used my PSP almost as I use my smartphone nowadays, I read books and manga, played emulators, watched animes, played music.

[@casperr3717]

06:05 i just knew it had to be click bait.

[@darkaidante4547]

Thanks

[@rezwitten929]

Can't believe PSP could do this stuff, damn, that's one powerful handheld console.

[@amauripump]

I live in Brazil, where games are too expansive. So, I bought a PSP in 2006 or 7 ad had a lot of good memories with it. The emulators let me play a lot of games that I didn't have access, nowadays I have a PSP, where I love to play Disgaea, Initial D and some emulators like SNES and GBA. Great video.

[@jorgerivera9214]

3:45 you are welcome

[@Ishaksonn]

Still have my psp since13 years. Never regretted buying it. Still actively playing and enjoying every moment of it. Love that thing to bits. ❤

1. feeling is worse 2. nostalga wise nonexistent

[@MakotoIchinose]

Me who have a PS Vita and got to enjoy PS Vita games + PSP games + emulator for 3rd and 4th gen, with physical controls and not strictly bound by touch screen controls and incoming notifications: 😎👌

[@CrumbsTaco]

ppsspp babyy

[@XxUnBOXINGxX]

definitely my whole child hood in 14 mins defiantly earned my sub when you started talking about the web browser and having the iPhone on the PSP I remember I doing all this growing up

[@XxUnBOXINGxX]

and i may have that iphone tweakon my old sd have to check

[@nimmen]

I need to buy a new digitizer/screen and see if I can bring my old psp 3000 back to life. You just reminded me of lots of good memories.

[@elwen8525]

Idk why but this brings back a lot of nostalgia. I never owned a psp but I still really miss the time period. Idk it just feels like “portable” game consoles are so big and in all honesty. More mobile consoles than actual portable consoles

[@ducdashot1239]

man its nice to see the psp get some love, it was way ahead of its time

[@louisgalarza8222]

I love how I run into this video a mere 2 days after I picked up a like new white psp go for $70 a blue 2000 for $30 and a broken 1000 for $25, growing up the PSP was my favorite, throughout my young years I owned like 6 different ones, and I recently decided to start collecting/ get into the homebrew scene with the go I picked up.

[@jrlangdon89]

I am now 44 and I still love my psp, have over 40 games and 30 umd movies for it still an amazing machine ❤

[@Amircapturedmemories]

only had a psp from 2009 to 2012 when it broke. being released in 2005,it was so popular here in singapore in 2009-2010, shows how successful that console was.

[@ZeroStako]

RIP to my PSP from 2007. Well, technically, it still works, but I need to repair a ton of things on it, so I've just perserved it as is, until the day comes. The PSP was my first modern console back in the day, besides a very outdated PC. My favorite thing about it was how it was so prominent, that developers actually made PSP versions of home console games, which sometimes would be completely different (but great) games, such as Army of Two the 40th Day or Dante's Inferno.

[@jong2359]

First thing that broke on my PSP was the start/select/home PCB. I thought, welp that is the end... RIP. It was a really simple fix, and brought my PSP back from the grave -- all this to say: go for it man, repair that thing.

[@StarDestroyer362]

The PSP to this day may be my favourite console of all time. Just being able to bring PS2 games anywhere I wanted was amazing to me. I still love the Switch for that same reason

[@xminusone7889]

Dude! I remember my Dad and I used to work on the PSP 3001 that I had so that I could play any game I wanted on it. That rocked my world for YEARS.

[@RandomizationShow]

6:54 Metal Gear classic collection is a 10/10 homebrew.

[@blues03]

2:11 I forgot which PS3 racing game let you use your PSP as a rear view mirror but that sounded pretty cool back in the day.

[@Rad_Dan]

Man, I learned how to make eboot files for the ps1 emulator that was on there. I even learned which files to change to make the icon on the psp’s xmb change (I made a bad little “logo” that was whatever my online name was at the time) but I remember ripping every single disc from my ps1 library. I also had a home brew app that let me use the psp as a game pad for my pc, and of course I had to put doom on it. Good times.

[@martinlutherkingjr.5582]

Running custom firmware on your PSP in the mid-2000’s (pre-iPhone) was like having a super power, very few people at school had a PSP let alone running custom firmware that could do all kinds of neat stuff.

[@danielj.3326]

PS Vita also deserves honorable mention imo. Great video btw.

[@BringusStudios]

Thanks! And it'll get its own homebrew video in the future

[@davidnewman4678]

I remember having to soft mod my psp because the disk drive stopped working and I couldn't afford a new psp at the time. This also enabled me to play some Japanese games that were very popular in my friend group at the time. Kinda miss it.

[@drakeb6168]

i dont even remember subscribing to your page, that said I have enjoyed your videos. I like the structure and information you provide especially in this one. Brought back some fond memories that compels me to get another psp when I see one.

[@Deubler]

That parappa instrumental ***chef's kiss***

[@moe4b]

Oh man, that point about Lamecraft and Pokemon GBA really got to me! the PSP was the console I first experienced both those games in
