I was very lucky to find an almost good-as-new PSP 2000 locally. I am very excited about it! It will need a new battery though and it only came with an USB charger. Would appreciate any tips pertaining chargers and batteries. But if you have any gaming related suggestions or general tips I’m open for that too :)

    My own recommendation: mod it, this way you can download and play any PSP game you want, also de PSP is able to run PS1 games natively so yep, you can also play the PS1 library (with a few exceptions).

    You can also install homebrews or even retroarch. It’s a magnificient console to play retro games on the go.

    For me, the psp and the psvita are ones of the best handleds out there. Perfect size and so much to play!

      I have so many fond memories of playing my modded PSP. Everything from NES ROMs, to PS1 native emulation or Crisis Core, I even used it as an MP3 player with an aux cable in my car before there were better solutions, or watching Futurama on my breaks at work. Back in the day there was no single device that could do all of this. Even now it’s so comfortable and the buttons feel so great compared to newer handhelds, so I just replaced the battery and started replaying Puzzle Quest.

    Get yourself a microSD to Ms pro duo card, and hack the shit out of it!

    Also official batteries aren’t made anymore as far as I know, so just find yourself a battery from a reputable source. Mind your model number if you do.

    That it is a great handheld.

    I’d recommend to check Cameron Sino batteries, they are often recommended as good aftermarket batteries.

    As for games I recommend you the God of War Games, Patapon, Loco Roco and the Burnout games! If you are a fan of Dragon Ball you have some great games there too!

      This brings me back to plugging my PSP into my TV with the big component cable adapter to play that game. This thread is making me so nostalgic.
