The PSP and the PS Vita were both ahead of their time. Enjoy it man!
I was actually playing Run Sackboy Run on my Vita last night. It's a free game and still has pretty impressive graphics.
really enjoying it so far, it's insane PSP is 20 years old almost
Im already convinced this is the greatest youtube channel ever
He's one of the few that isn't political or worried about ridiculous tech specs like when a game isn't 60 fps. He's focused on the actual quality of the games and how fun they are without being spoiled by over the top graphics and lack of substance in modern games.
let's be honest by far not the greatest ytub channel but his content is interesting
I just like listening to him talk, it's why I subbed lol
PSP has aged like fine wine. That screen in 2004 was amazing
The screen is still amazing. I'm shocked at the brightness and clarity every time I turn mine on. The vita has better resolution. But the screen just feels cheap compared to the psp. And the ds doesn't have nearly as nice of one.
@@dlcart1091 what are you talking about? Nintendo did a whole revision of the switch (oled model) but the OG PSvita shipped with it from launch?
I bought and own a used PSP 1000 model which is in a very good condition. PSP is a great handheld, especially once you jailbroken it. Now I also have a PS Vita which I also jailbroken and it's definetly my favourite handheld console I have ever gotten. Same with PSP. I was always jealous of those in the past who got their PSP's, but I never got one myself, because my parents always look at game consoles and think gaming is only aimed at children, which is false in every way. Plus, since I live in a small country that doesn't pay as well as bigger countries do, I don't think my parents would have been able to buy me a PSP even if they wanted to. But still, I am very happy to own both a PSP and a PS Vita and I have both of them in my posession. Every time I fire up my PSP it's just hits me with nostalgia. That PSP start up sound is just beautiful.
God the PSP was incredible and so ahead of its time when it came out. I was 12 at the time and was just in total awe when I held one in person.
Now its time for you to get a Vita! (and mod it)
If you haven't already, you should also look at getting and trying a PS Vita. It's a very underrated handheld and I've been using the hell out of mine for the past 8 or so years. It really is a great device but I won't deny that it definitely could've been so much more if Sony didn't abandon it so quickly.
Ive recently bought One and love it.
Só Many fun games like uncharted. And its actually portable, it fits on my pocket, unlike the huge Steam Deck.
I take it everywhere. It makes me feel like a kid again playing psp, but its a much better PSP.
I wish Sony released another one, same size with improved specs
@rodrigohorsilly8010 Yeah, Uncharted is great. If you don't have it you should definitely get Killzone Mercenary as well. It is a fantastic game. It's like late cycle PS3 quality
@@canObeans4we i know i have it and was mindblown by how good the graphics were. Straight up looks like a PS4 game.
Still have almost 300 physical copies for psvita
You're actually one of my favorite gaming channels right now. Keep it up!
I've never been too big on gaming channels, but I've recently found Basement Gamer and Retro Bird on the same day, and goddamn.. It's like finding 2 gold nuggets in the endless stream of trash.
thank you for the kind words
@@BasementGamerYT you're welcome
Love the PSP, remember as a kid when my older brother got a PSP and being so blown away by its graphics compared to my DS. First game that I saw and played on it was GTA: Liberty City Stories as he got it with the system.
Get yourself a modded oled vita.. you can download the entire ps1, psp and vita collection straight to it and the screen is gorgeous.
That thing was a beast of a handheld back in the day. I was blown away playing GTA Liberty City Stories and Tekken 5 in 2005 on my hand! This was PS2 level graphics!
Then it had video playback, music, and pictures, and this was all BEFORE the very first iPhone. This was back when people still had flip phones so video on handheld was unheard of.
And for a 19 year old handheld, it's an impressive emulator as it can play PSP, PS1, GBA, GBC, GB, N64, NES, SNES, Turbografx, SEGA GEN, GG, MS, Arcade CPS1 CPS2, homebrew, etc...
Top video mate! Im 35 and have been collecting retro PlayStation games/consoles for a couple of years, you cant beat playing the games you grew up with on the actual console! My personal favourite being the PS2 and PSP.
The PSP uses WPA network security. WPA2 is the default security type for routers nowadays.
The production of your videos is beyond impressive. You have a unique way of presenting these. Keep it up 👍🏻
Congrats and welcome to the club. I only picked mine up around 2014-2015 and had a great time. I especially enjoyed ps1 games and Japanese rhythm games on it. Around 2017 I picked up a vita and it eventually became my main handheld up to this day, but recently I've been feeling like going back to my PSP and fixing it since the screen got some nasty lines while it was put away, and I need to get a new battery.
I bought one a few days ago. So cool to see you just got one as well! Cant wait to get mine, glad you enjoying it!
I always look forward to your videos. Entertaining and informative.
I share your passion for retro console gaming but I’m not good at making videos. I have a collection of modded consoles. I enjoy your videos, thanks 👍🏻
Love your videos man. The PSP is one of my faves of all time too. Solid all round.
Hope to see this channel continue to grow! Best of luck Kevin
Shout out to my PSP that had all the G-Unit and 50 cent mixtapes on it. Love the PSP and PS Vita. I even had movie UMDS it was just awesome still is.
Much love from the UK, I subscribed when you first started, and your content is amazing. I have an ungodly obsession with the PSP, and I'm surprised nobody has mentioned custom firmware. I won't say much about it here, but a quick google search will unlock the device to emulators, game backups, and many more features. Keep the good content coming
I really, REALLY, loved playing Virtua Tennis on my 1003 FAT PSP. That game was magical to me.
I have to admit, loving your videos man. Hilarious, dry humor. Keep it up!
Seriously magnificent and needed channel 🙂❤
Great video, I never owned a PSP. But I do remember playing midnight club on my friends psp growing up and it was super fun! 🔥
Good job on the videos man you’re even adding b roll and all that
Putting ps1 games from the ps3 onto that thing with a cable is an incredible feature.
Great to see you taking on classic handhelds! Hope that Vita comes next in the future :)
Also, some video suggestion - getting a special TV dedicated for PS3 - Sony Bravia 3DTV - it's really something special (but also kinda hard to find)
Played my first GTA on the PSP, Liberty City Stories
best theme song lol
True that tune was so sick
I’ve been wanting a PSP for a while now ever since I caught the PS3 fever 🥵 good video as always 👍🏻
Psp has gone up crazy in value lately. I picked 2 up with loads of extras for £25 at a bootsale the other day. Crazy that your on this system this week
My favorite youtuber talking about my favorite handheld..is it my birthday? Lmao. Great video brother! Suggestions you need to pick up gta vice city stories and Kingdom Hearts Birth by sleep!
Keep bringing daily psp content
Awesome video. Sad that you missed psp bac in a day.
The PSP runs on an older kind of Wi-fi. That's the simplest way to can explain it, i guess. I create a hot-spot via my phone and connect my PSP to that instead whenever need to use the internet features. Also: Buy Loco Roco for the PSP. Such a jolly game!
I’ve never used one either. Looking forward to learning your experience
I remember the PSP fondly. I played alot of Need for Speed and Midnight Club on it. Nowadays I have a blue PSP and I use the music functionality on it. Marvelous device
The PSP is a great system. I am going for a full collection and I feel that it is a great systems.
The PSP was my first mp3 player. I listened to music or gamed on the way school every morning as a kid. Bought another one a few years ago and put homebrew on it. It's a great system.
Those posters are dope!
To me the PSP/DS era was the strongest era, with a huge library. I love the ps1 remakes on psp or even close to ps2 graphics like the 1st monster hunter game😃
Still have my god of war red psp and my assassin's creed white oled ps vita. Put a new screen in my psp and a new battery since the old one got swollen and the screen had lines. Its like new now and Im happy to display it as such. My vita is jailbroken so i run it overclocked with adrenaline and my vita is still like new condition because after i bought it i played it maybe twice. Just sat in the box. Jailbreaking it gave it a new life and its sooooooo awesome. Ps1 ps vita PSP games plus retro arch. ❤❤
What brand of battery did you get, hard to find a food replacement online.
Man a psp was like the coolest thing when I was a kid , loved it to death , I dont know what happend to it though like how have we not had a new psp yet
PSP was my absolute favorite growing up! Though I went through probably 10+ devices since then and now, each one I owned was a thrill with the impressive list of games. Currently rocking a PSvita, but with PSP emulation it's the ULTIMATE portable retro setup IMO haha
Thank you for always keeping it real 💯
You should get your hands on God of War Chains of Olympus. Man, what a game that was... Also Loco Roco, for all the music and fun.
Got the PSP Go and Vita TV they’re honestly my favorite consoles, PSP Go might be the best media player and connecting to old PS3 firmware imo but even just using it as not part of the PS eco system you have a lot of options in games and emulators
These were so bad ass back when I was in elementary. I was fortunate enough to scoop a used 3000 back in 2010 and still use to this day when I don't have my RP3, the gameboy emulator works great and the feeling of the buttons goes with it incredibly well. PS1 as well is pretty enjoyable. The music player too was good at the time too considering there was no need of buying an iPod or a Zune at the time. (ok maybe the Zune because of its hard drive space lol)
Wow those psp game cases look very similar in size to those of the Switch. And I do feel the same about your assessment of physical media still holding up against today’s and possibly even bettering it in some cases.
Wow. I cant believe you did't had a PSP? Back in the days this was fire. Imagine mobil gaming was practically non existent, I mean there was Ngage, but most of the mobile games were more similar to SNES games, than games that were run on PSP. It was a huge leap in handheld gaming. I still have the latest model (Street). Nowadays I use the Switch more, but for my taste the Switch is big, and I'm more confortable with the size of the PSP.
I have the same experience with the Vita. The PSP is still on my list.
I was more an Xbox user, but I love the PSP and Vita. Way fun
hey it’s the guy that plays that baseball video game!
the PSP is awesome. there are a ton of great games for it that still hold up. many of which didn't come out on other platforms like the 2 Untold Legends games, some God of War games, Jeanne D'arc (not cheap), Wipeout Pure, and Me & My Katamari. It's also a great way to play some casual games like Lumines, or Puzzle Quest, or JRPGs like FF Tactics. I think the battery life and nub of a joystick are the biggest downsides, but it's still a lot of fun to play all these years later. Enjoy!
Get both Pursuit Force games and you will not regret it! Still play it to this day
The PSP is a great handheld. Many great games on the PSP including some PS2 games. I recommend getting the PS Vita next.
i love this guy 😎

Been playing Gamecube games on my steam deck lately, a console I totally missed back in the day. I feel like you when I play it, everything is amazing. F-Zero GX is better than having a slice of pizza at a pina colada party.
It truly was the first premium mobile gaming device from a big company. GTA Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories 6-player multiplayer was GODLY. Funner than both GTA 4 and V online put together. PS Vita not having a GTA San Andreas Stories with THAT fun of a multiplayer mode really tanked it’s sales+potential even before it came out.
Play Resistance Retribution, my favorite PSP game; it pushed the PSP to its limits.
PSP is an amazing console.
I had one when I was a child and another one that i sadly dropped to the floor a couple of months ago that cannot read the discs anymore.
Jailbreak it, mod it to use a SD card and you can play games from the SD card.
I still love my PSP. It definitely had its limitations, but it's still great. Some recommended games...
3rd Birthday
God of War both games
Grand Theft Auto both games
MotorStorm Arctic Edge
Resistance Retribution
Syphon Filter both games
Kevin about to get addicted to a whole new device and we will never see him leave the house ever again
I just got my first PSP too. It's 1003 model.
You can get a memory card adapter that let's you use regular micro sd cards and can store loads of stuff on it. The PSP is also great for emulating loads of systems.
That mom part had me rolling
Wait until you play a vita your mind will be blown. Excellent video as always.
I can’t wait until 2036 when you unbox a Vita, you’re gonna love it
Yeah i know that feeling of putting pillows behind your back for that extra comfort. It ain't no joke, i put two behind my back every night before i game 😂
It's such a premium feeling device. And the design still holds up to this day! If only they had another analog stick and some L2-R2 buttons too. It would've been even more godly.
As far as I can remember, in terms of portable gaming, there were like gameboys, tamagotchi's and snake on nokia when the PSP released and that was about it. This thing was revolutionary
I was playing my PSP the other night. Not sure if you're aware but you can play the PSP without the batter pack in the console. You have to play with it plugged in though. This tip may come in handy if your battery decides to swell up and crap out on you.
I remember putting hours into Twisted Metal Head-On and SmackDown vs RAW 2006-2011 on my PSP! I miss my PSP! 😭 I wish I could play those games on my PS Vita without modding it.
You should try the Ps Vita too (make sure its modded to get the FULL experience of what vita players LOVE)
The differences between PSP 1000 and the other 2000/3000 are:
- the design more thinner and brighter screen on 3000
- more ram (32mb vs 64mb)
- no IR receiver on 2000/3000
- faster loading apps
- less battery
- you can charge the psp 2000/3000 via usb cable while you transfer data from your pc
I'm a owner of 3 psp (1 broken 3004, 1 fully functional 1000, 1 fully functional 3000), but this is an advice for you: for unlock the full experience of psp you should watch how to jailbreak the psp via infinity mod, simply you can transfer on your sd card the ISOs of games and simply run pressing X button in Games section.
Personally i use my PSPs to play amazing games like God of War (chains of olympus and ghost of sparta) and the two Syphon Filter games. There are many hidden gems on this system PLUS you can run homebrew apps like GeMP and Homer'S RIN so you can play gameboy advance and gameboy color games in wide screen and with a brighter screen than a game boy :)
Last year when i went to bruxelles for the annual FOSDEM some people showed a project to port on PSP the NDS emulator but is not stable yet.
The acronym P.S.P kept me from having one in middleschool
I remember I had MLB 2K8 for it and it rocked
0:01 the back pain is real lol
I love collecting movies (umd) for this thing.
My sisters favourite machine. I remember hacking it for her. She was obsessed with playing Portable Ops Plus online.
Awesome.
Now jailbreak it and get an microSD card adaptor and have all your games oon that and now more needing the UMD.
Did it on mine and love it. Nice thing is it doesn't need any mods to the hardware!
I remember playing God of War Chains of Olympus on the PSP good times
Hot shots golf is awesome
If possible, try to get your hands on the psp 3000 monster hunter edition. It has the body of the 1000, ability to take beefier batteries and has the screen of the 3000. Looks great too. Mat finish. Concave joystick.
I would recommend getting the newer models you will be able to connect them to your TV and play on your TV
I was one of the lucky people who were able to multiplayer on psp, games like star wars battlefront and Arctic Edge motorstorm. Before they killed Gamespy servers
I was like you and missed out on early 2000 to mid 2000 games and consoles.
PSP is a very good console, even though I own an OLED Vita I still want a PSP because I don't if just because I never played on PSP but I believe games run blurry and with worse performance on Vita because it's emulation, I wish I can get my hand on a good condition 3000 model and I believe you should have picked that model too since the screen is more brighter and way better than all other models
Yeah the only thing I really know that went wrong with the first version 1001 model was the battery would bloat and you had to replace it
Do a review on Master system/Mega Drive. Make sure to play altered Beast and Bonanza Bros
The resolution is sharp for the screen the psp included.
I had one as a teenager but unfortunately I ended up throwing it against the wall in a fit of rage lol
GTA LCS and GTA VCS are awesome, and everyone should try them
PSP holds up nicely and feels "new" to hold and feel. Far more so than the original Nintendo DS first model, which looks old and like junk. Nintendo fortunately cottoned on fast and the DS Lite was much more of a match.
as im sure you know by now.. the psp has old as hell wifi chips. you essentially need to have your android phone run a hotspot as 2.4ghz wifi non-encrypted. just set it up as as 2.4ghz with no password and you'll be fine. it's not going to get any faster if you manage to setup your wifi network at home since the psp will only accept so much data at once (same with ps3) both of their wifi capabilities are now 20 years old roughly. way out of date too lol. you can hack it extremely easily and load up an microSD card and have a ton of games with plenty of room left over. totally worth it.
I just bought a second hand one from eBay for 45 pounds , going to need to give it a new faceplate tho, never played it before looking forward to.
Try and find Need for Speed: Underground Rivals.
From memory it was quite good.
I can't remember if I finished it but I remember enjoying it.
But I was like 14 or 15.
Day #30 get little big planet 1&2!
I still have my 2005 first gen psp and it works perfectly
Wait until you try a modded PS Vita that can turn into a PSP
PSP is a great device but honestly you get a better experience getting PPSSPP app on your Steam Deck, Phone (w/controller), or PC. Your Samsung will run PSP games flawlessly at 3x the resolution of a PSP. Seriously emulation is the way to go with PSP.
