    As someone who totally loved my PSP1000
    It can be softmodded too
    It was in fact easier and more exploitable than the 3000
    I also found that the system was more durable than the 2000/3000

PSX, Snes, Nes and not to mention amazing PSP games themselves. Definitely recommend getting a SD to Memory Stick Duo converter and then just loading up a 64Gb SD.

    The thing about the psp is that sony stopped making batteries for it and it's really rare to find the original since most of them have become out of shape because of not using it. There are still psp batteries out there but those only last for a max of 40 mins and sometimes switch off randomly

I've modded SO many PSP MODELS in my hay day that I can't keep count anymore. I'm from Chicago, and the CATS that I KNOW are still playing the PSP without fail. Sure, they own PS4's and all of that, but who can play MArs Matrix on the PSP??? Emulators and the Capcom CPS1, 2 and the CPS3 CAN RUN on the PSP. The Processor on the PSP was a FUCKING MONSTER!!!! Something THAT TINY was packing a serious PUNCH back in the day. Great reviews brother.........Thanks for DEFENDING THE PSP!! And the PS1 ISOs are so easy to find and load up. ^_^

    Considering the fact that my PSP can't connect to my modem, I don't think it will be bricked any time soon. LOL It's the PS3 & PS4 I have to be careful with because I still purchase games on it.

    • @RetroGamePlayers
      @RetroGamePlayers  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Ninja-X3 Well its really just a disclaimer. I've never had any issues personally. But you are referring to bricking like not being able to go on a store anymore, or the Sony server somehow banning you IF it could go online. But what I'm saying is who knows what update files/homebrew/system hacks are out there and anytime you have unknown software modifying your firmware it always has a chance of bricking or rendering your hardware in a unplayable state. For example my other video on Wii modding, there are some steps that you can do that will literally mess up your wii so it won't start up anymore, and it has nothing to do with the Internet.

    Still have my "Fat" PSP that i modded in 2008. Even experimented a bit to make my own custom Eboot files. Was really much fun and a interesting way to understand how the PSP works and handles files. If only it would have used MiniDiscs and HiMDs instead of the UMDs. That would have made the PSP rely a lot less on the super expensive MemorySticks.

    • @RetroGamePlayers

    • @KRAFTWERK2K6
      @KRAFTWERK2K6 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @விஷ்ணு கார்த்திக் : No, that's still a myth that these drain batteries a lot. Even less if they had used MiniDisc / HiMD instead of UMD. Have you seen that a lot of MiniDisc walkmen ran on a single AA alkaline battery? They lasted quite long with one battery charge. Because the content doesn't need to constantly being read. Only when the data is actually accessed and buffered in the ram. Flash Memory was and still is way too expensive per Gigabyte and also not very reliable. Especially for longterm data storage.
