I was racking my brain for the best part of a decade trying to remember a certain psp game and this dude busted out untold legends and fried me with nostalgia
My first experience with online multiplayer was actually on the PSP. Medal of Honor Heros supported 32 players in a single game & was truly legendary back in 2006 when I got my psp. I miss those handheld days.
I was working in Manhattan when this came out, and the PSP was INCREDIBLE for riding on the subways and busses across the city. Made the commute so much more enjoyable. Emulators worked really well, too!
Important side note: Both the PSP and Ps Vita can be jailbroken pretty easily. There are many tutorials online. Both systems also have proprietary (non-standard) memory cards. The best way to enjoy these systems now-a-days, is to jailbreak them, and buy a memory card adapter specific to that console and you're good to go! I do think the PS-Vita is more worth it if you can find it the right price. By jailbreaking it, you have access to the full PS-Vita library which includes some ports of PS2 and PS3 games. You also have full access to all PSP and PS1 games. And the PS-Vita Homebrew scene just keeps growing!! More and more people are making new games for the Vita or porting games from other systems like Bully or Simpsons Hit and Run to name a few.
I ended up going with the PSP GO. While it isn't the ideal way if you want to collect for PSP. I still like the form factor, how small at is and just able to slide in your pocket whenever I travel. Mines is Modded so I have it full of the ganes I enjoy playing. Also had a great deal for the PSP GO Cradle. I sometimes just Dock it and play on the TV. Its a really cool little Handheld
Fun fact: the Vader PSP is one of the rare 2001 models that you can be 100% assured is fully hackable with CFW. Have one myself and it has been my fave portable for eons. It is so funny and excellent to me to be able to play some of my most loved Nintendo games from GBA on the Sony Slab 😂
I have a hacked PS Vita with over 100 GB of PSP games on it. One of the best things I own. Nobody is using the PlayStation store. You can't even download games through it anymore. Everybody who has a PSP hacked it and is downloading ISOs.
Syphon Filter Dark Mirror and Syphon Filter Logans Run are essential games to play on PSP. Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast and the Burnout games are also a lot of fun on PSP as well.
A good tip to building your collection is to buy “PSP lot” in bulk, you can always find them for very good prices and whatever duplicates you have, you sell.
Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories are so underrated. They introduced the business mechanics into the game and it just made A LOT of sense in GTA. Businesses is what I love about GTA Online.
PSP was ahead of its time and using it now proves that, I think for most users they should mod a VITA and just emulate the PSP on it, I however have SD card mods done on my PSP and Vita, PSP has better face buttons, VITA better sticks, screen, and games. But something about the PSP/Ps3 menuing man, whoosh its amazing.
You're right about that Jeanne D'Arc cover art. That's what made me buy that game when I saw it on the shelf almost 20 years ago and I wasn't even a big RPG fan. Seeing Jeanne staring up at the heavens in her battle armor was intriguing. Took it home and played it and immediately became addicted to it. One of my all time favorite PSP games.
Here's some PSP games I enjoy (some are imports). Most will probably never get a digital re-release (not that I buy digital anyway). "SEGA Genesis Collection" "N+" "Space Invaders Pocket" "Puzzle World" "Taito Legends Power Up" "I.Q. Mania" "Atari Classics Evolved" "Namco Museum Battle Collection". Plus the movies "T2" "RE Apocalypse" "RE Extinction" all presented in the correct 1.85:1 ratio. The 2.40:1 ratio of the DVD/Blu-ray cuts information off the top/bottom of the screen & adds basically nothing to the sides.
I bought the same model and a bunch of the games I had when I was 13! Such an incredible little system. The feelings I have tied to this thing are so different from any other console. Still so impressive for the time it comes from.
I just started collecting for the PSP, mainly so I could play Megaman powered up again but there are so many games worth getting. Dissidea FF, the FF 1, 2 and 4 remakes as well as tactics. There are anime games galore and since the PSP isn’t region locked you can play those as well, notably the bleach games on PSP, there are so many that we didn’t get.
Thank you for including Freedom Unite in this video. A lot of people started in rise and world and they didn't know what the series is all about before.
I’ve just started again in the last 6 months collecting, dug out my original 1000 and shockingly it still works and holds charge, I am on the market for a 3000 though. 3 of my absolute favourite games that you didn’t mention are burnout legends, midnight club 3 and medievil resurrection, absolute perfection on psp, yes there are variations on other platforms but they just hit different on psp and work so well. Also I wouldn’t sleep on the umds, I started collecting my favourites and it’s a great little media device, I’m a sucker for the physical media
Something to keep in mind with the PSP: unless you know how to mess with the security on your router, you won’t be able to access the internet since the system doesn’t recognize WPA2 security. I have the 2000, not sure if the newer versions do.
Doesn't matter even if you change your router to just WPA. I did it & was able to get connection but all the SSL certificates are old asf, so no websites worked. All I was able to use was basic google like an old cell phone lol. However I did some digging & I read somewhere someone got mozilla working on their PSP. There's also PSPDisp which you can use to stream your PC to, or even use the PSP as a controller if you'd want that, haven't tried it myself but looked pretty awesome.
One of my favorite games for the PSP was Pursuit Force and the sequel. I got the first one just because it was one of the first run of games for the PSP.
I had a PSP as a kid but I never got real crazy with it an now being such a huge jrpgs/RPG fan I'm getting one to collect the library there's so much I haven't played
Matty I wanted to point out that Jeanne de Arc is pronounced similarly to Joan of Ark. Less similar to John Dark, more similar to Joan of Ark. Actually the narrative designer from Ara said it in the French styling during your great interview! Just something I wanted to highlight because thanks to Ara you've had to say the name quite a bit lately 🤣. Fun video.
One game I loved on PSP was Death Jr. Reviewed about average but was really fun. Like a cross between Psyconauts and Ratchet and Clank. And of course Tony Hawk Underground 2 Remix. Don't even know how many times I replayed that story.
My most recommended for JRPG/Tactical RPG fans is Spectral Souls. I have hundreds of hours in this, there is just that much content and I don't think I finished the story. Not because I had to grind to do it, but because I enjoyed the side content so much. There's a lack of JRPGs in this video. Hexyz Force, Blade Dancer: Lineage of Light (PS4/5 w/ trophy support), Generation of Chaos(not Aedis Eclipse), Brave Story (published by Xseed), Mimana: Iyar Chronicles, Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion, Mana Khemia (has more content than the PS2 version), Popolo Crois, and Phantasy Star Portable 1 and 2 (PSP is like Phantasy Star Universe, but with a custom character)
Don't quite know if this is an unorthodox thing to keep in mind, but one benefit of the PSP 1000 is that it's the only model you know for sure you can flash cfw onto, meaning you don't have to set it up every time you boot the system. You can completely bypass the poor disc drive by ripping your umds directly to your memory card. It's so nice.
wish you mentioned key of heaven (or kingdom of paradise in the us i believe) absolutely love this game so much and played it so many times. good story, great gameplay and me personally i love the music in it as well. cover art is fantastic as well and it was the main reason i even picked up the game as a kid when i saw it
If you are thinking of buying a PSP and you came to this video, don't hesitate any longer and go buy it now! I can guarantee that you will not regret it!
I have a silver and black PSP, I used to take them everywhere I went and play on the go. the silver one is broken and I don't think it's repairable but my black PSP is still kicking, it just needs a new cover on the left analog stick and a fix on the X button because it's smudged in and I would have to press hard for it to read any commands on it. I loved playing Lego games on them and used to watch Spider-Man 2 all the time, even used to watch little game trailer CD's that came with it haha
I picked one up brand new like 2 years back. I love it. The last thing I played was symphony of the night using a save file online to unlock it in that collection thags on the system.
Crazy Taxi fare wars, Chile con Carnage, Snk arcade classics, Metal Gear Acid, Burn out Dominator, Guitaroo Man lives to just name a few. All the WWE SvR games were excellent too.
PSP was legendary. The only issue I had was that I felt it was trying to be a portable playstation 1 / 2 rather than its on system like how the GBA was distinct from the gamecube. Was on my way to get one as I got three games for it....Then I got the home console versions of those games.
I collected a lot of the psp movies at the time other than that the console had lots of exclusives I was pissed that the megaman legends psp ports got cancelled for North America
Matty you should consider trying Chinatown Wars for Retro Rebound. I think you’d like it. The PSP version on Vita would probably be the definitive way to play btw.
Phantasy star portable 1 and 2, the ys games, star ocean 1 and 2, legend of heroes 1 2 and 3, tales of eternia, tales of the world radiant mythology, lunar series, gurumin a monstrous adventure, the prinny and disgaea series and black rock shooter are some of the best games you can get on the psp. ❤❤❤ Especially black rock shooter. I haven't seen any other game with the unique combat system. It has. I want more RPGs with that style of combat.
I had god of war special edition red PSP 2000 that I played the heck out of but it got stolen sadly. After that I just got the Vita that I still use and I’ve modded it with many PSP games on it which according to me is the best way to play them now
I still play my psp 3000 and Go. The psp go can output to a tv and use the dual shock 3 as a wireless controller. It's the only psp that supports that.
Get the 3000 and a good battery and mod it. Software mods allows you to play up to ps1/psp games and some n64. I want the go because of form factor but modding it requires slight hardware mods
I started buying PSP games and movies this year. it's really funny picking some of them up because at the gamestore the clerk just looks at me going "Christmas with the Kranks, huh?"
The PSP is the JRPG fan's wet dream. I basically owe this console for turning me into a Square Enix and Atlus megastan with the amount of nights I'd spent sneaking in some playtime on P3P and FFIV Complete as a kid Also timing this with the Lunar announcement was clever lol
I'd recommend getting Kurohyou 1&2. Japan exclusive spin-offs of the Yakuza series. There is a fan made English patch, though. Don't worry. I'd also recommend Undead Knights. It's kinda like Dynesty Warriors, but you can turn enemy units into your undead servants.
I was racking my brain for the best part of a decade trying to remember a certain psp game and this dude busted out untold legends and fried me with nostalgia
Amazing game!
Spent countless hours playing untold legends 1 and 2 with a friend over Ad hoc good times
Recently had that happen with an old NES title called Star Tropics. Best feeling finally remembering it so I could go back to it.
Dude u are just like me I got a ps vita and was like I need to touch that game agin but never knew the name
game also had online play with a chat lobby. fun times
The psp was head of its time. Takes me back to when to golden years of my childhood
My first experience with online multiplayer was actually on the PSP. Medal of Honor Heros supported 32 players in a single game & was truly legendary back in 2006 when I got my psp. I miss those handheld days.
I was working in Manhattan when this came out, and the PSP was INCREDIBLE for riding on the subways and busses across the city. Made the commute so much more enjoyable.
Emulators worked really well, too!
I love the grinding from the UMD. Sounded like the future, man.
I thought I was crazy for liking that noise. Glad I'm not the only one
I wish I still had my PSP. So many memories playing on it especially on long car rides😩midnight club on the psp just hit and god of war too
God or war games were top tier. Just as good as the other entries.
Get a new one!
i still have mine along with all its games but the screen is broke looooooooooool
When they had Kratos in soul calibur broken destiny man tell me he wasn't the hardest character to fight in that game
The dbz games were so much fun
I remember playing Liberty City Stories multiplayer all night with my brother when I was in fourth grade! Happy to see it in the video!
Just got a psp again, it’s like reliving my childhood. Buying UMD’s and having physical games is an awesome feeling.
I totally agree
Important side note: Both the PSP and Ps Vita can be jailbroken pretty easily.

Really don’t think someone buying a psp in 2024 is too worried about accessing the PlayStation store, you know what I mean?
😂
I mean psp are easily hackable
cdromance baby😂
@@phoenixdown1947 shhhh!!! fr tho
He's trying not to get in trouble 😂

That's outdated information. All models of psp are now fully hackable with ARK-4.
Psp was god tier when it released. Hope they make a new one.
I have a hacked PS Vita with over 100 GB of PSP games on it. One of the best things I own.
Nobody is using the PlayStation store. You can't even download games through it anymore. Everybody who has a PSP hacked it and is downloading ISOs.
This ^
I'm about to buy a used psp because I can't find a used ps vita in a reliable site😭
@@Zanoladablook on face book market. You can haggle with parents selling their kids old games lol I got a vita for like 60 bucks through it
@@Zanoladabebay bro! especially the japanese imports, taken care of very well.
@@ZanoladabI got my PS Vita on EBay they are great prices I suggest the slim because PS Vita Slim charges with any micro USB cable
Syphon Filter Dark Mirror and Syphon Filter Logans Run are essential games to play on PSP. Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast and the Burnout games are also a lot of fun on PSP as well.
I am actually interested in getting a psp one day. Maybe this video will help with that. Thanks
Awesome video, been waiting for a Matty PSP video. Really like how you included both positive and negative, and explained the negative in detail.

Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories are so underrated. They introduced the business mechanics into the game and it just made A LOT of sense in GTA. Businesses is what I love about GTA Online.
I've got the PSP GO and it's so easy to jailbreak and get all the games you want plus I can easily take it with me because of its size.
how is the battery?
Dude, Ridge Racer is one of the best racing games EVER! Get 2 ASAP!
PSP was ahead of its time and using it now proves that, I think for most users they should mod a VITA and just emulate the PSP on it, I however have SD card mods done on my PSP and Vita, PSP has better face buttons, VITA better sticks, screen, and games.

If id ever play PSP again it's gonna be homebrew

Street fighter alpha 3 is one of my favourite psp games of all time
I have to sayI really love the opening intros to your videos. It's like a lowkey shout out to Persona 4 Golden❤
Duodecim has a ridiculous amount of content and an overworld map so it’s a lot of fun. It was my inspiration along with crisis core for getting psp
I bought the same model and a bunch of the games I had when I was 13! Such an incredible little system. The feelings I have tied to this thing are so different from any other console. Still so impressive for the time it comes from.

Thank you for including Freedom Unite in this video. A lot of people started in rise and world and they didn't know what the series is all about before.
My favorite PSP game was Phantasy Star Portable 2. I was so bummed they never released it on the store for the Vita.
Sega pulled the license before the Vita even released. I had got the digital version. Hell, it was pulled even before the PSP Go came out.
Me too. Goddamn that game is awesome.
Just bought one for an upcoming trip. I have all PS consoles including several digital purchases on my PS3 that can upload to it.
where you going for trip
Love the editing of this video. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Now I want a PSP so bad I regret getting rid of my white one.
Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories were PEAK.
Im only 13 but gosh i love these things i wish i was born before the psp so i could play with all my freinds i have 3 psp's all modded and 2 ps vita's
I’ve just started again in the last 6 months collecting, dug out my original 1000 and shockingly it still works and holds charge, I am on the market for a 3000 though.
3 of my absolute favourite games that you didn’t mention are burnout legends, midnight club 3 and medievil resurrection, absolute perfection on psp, yes there are variations on other platforms but they just hit different on psp and work so well.

As an Atlanta native, I always find it funny that Matty is a Falcons fan. Here's hoping for a better season this year!
One of my favorite games for the PSP was Pursuit Force and the sequel. I got the first one just because it was one of the first run of games for the PSP.
Patapon 1+2, Grand Knights History, Indiana Jones staff of kings, Hot shots golf open tee, silent hill origins, X men origins wolverine, Mhp3rd...
Dungeon seige.. Agony of... The throne?
That's a lot like dungeon seige
I just started Dungeon Siege on PSP and it’s a really fun game
I had a PSP as a kid but I never got real crazy with it an now being such a huge jrpgs/RPG fan I'm getting one to collect the library there's so much I haven't played

Man,, what timing. I've been failing at my PSP repairs the past month. Hopefully this upload is a good sign for me. :(

Just recently bought a PSP myself to play my favorite game back when I was a kid, Evil dead Resurrection.
Assassin's creed Bloodlines was a banger on the PSP , being a direct sequel to Altair's story, big shout-out
Enjoy your videos bro 🎉❤

I loved playing midnight club, burnout, and pursuit force on my psp. Good times.

Last year was prob the time to get into PSP. Now that you made this video, prices are def gonna skyrocket
If you are thinking of buying a PSP and you came to this video, don't hesitate any longer and go buy it now! I can guarantee that you will not regret it!
Yeah especially since prices for those consoles are beginning to explode
Yeah psp is something I'm very interested in. Going to be awesome having a psp section on my shelf.

Great video subscribed
I picked one up brand new like 2 years back. I love it. The last thing I played was symphony of the night using a save file online to unlock it in that collection thags on the system.
The Patapon series is a must play PSP series. 1 and 2 have been ported to ps4 but honestly they are best experienced on the og hardware.
Crazy Taxi fare wars, Chile con Carnage, Snk arcade classics, Metal Gear Acid, Burn out Dominator, Guitaroo Man lives to just name a few. All the WWE SvR games were excellent too.
Good video saved me from getting the 1000 and 2000 series I’m getting the 3000
Late on this, but all these videos and TikToks I’ve seen about PSPs has made up my mind to do a full restoration on my psp.
Army of Two, Crisis Core and Phantasy Star games were a few of my favorites on PSP.
Death jr, dead head fred, Vahala knights 2, and star ocean games.
PSP was legendary. The only issue I had was that I felt it was trying to be a portable playstation 1 / 2 rather than its on system like how the GBA was distinct from the gamecube. Was on my way to get one as I got three games for it....Then I got the home console versions of those games.
There are a lot of good racing games on PSP: Ridge Racer, Outrun 2009, and Test Drive Hawaii. I played the Burnout games SO much on it!
I collected a lot of the psp movies at the time other than that the console had lots of exclusives I was pissed that the megaman legends psp ports got cancelled for North America
Matty you should consider trying Chinatown Wars for Retro Rebound. I think you’d like it. The PSP version on Vita would probably be the definitive way to play btw.
A modded PSP is definitely worth it. But playing them directly from the UMDs? Yuckkkk
Crazy timing as my PSP just arrived today. Currently installing 120gb of games on it.
Highly recommend "Gladiator Begins", it's a hidden gem
Phantasy star portable 1 and 2, the ys games, star ocean 1 and 2, legend of heroes 1 2 and 3, tales of eternia, tales of the world radiant mythology, lunar series, gurumin a monstrous adventure, the prinny and disgaea series and black rock shooter are some of the best games you can get on the psp. ❤❤❤ Especially black rock shooter. I haven't seen any other game with the unique combat system. It has. I want more RPGs with that style of combat.
Still need a psp, definitely gonna pick one up some day..
Didn’t know you were an Atlanta Falcons fan! Ima Steelers fan 😏😅
Bought one back in the day solely for Valkyria Chronicles 2
I’m an Xbox boy at heart but I’ve always enjoyed the charm of the psp and I’m dying for one
What a great library of games on the PSP. Im gonna have to try some of these through emulator.
I had god of war special edition red PSP 2000 that I played the heck out of but it got stolen sadly. After that I just got the Vita that I still use and I’ve modded it with many PSP games on it which according to me is the best way to play them now
If you're in to Tactics games, I'd say the Lordbif the Rings And D+D tactics are both solid. Also warhammer 40k squad command.
I still play my psp 3000 and Go. The psp go can output to a tv and use the dual shock 3 as a wireless controller. It's the only psp that supports that.
I also highly suggest Mega Man Powered Up which also comes in a dual pack pack with Maverick Hunter
Freaky ass Header on the back lmao 5:50
Get the 3000 and a good battery and mod it. Software mods allows you to play up to ps1/psp games and some n64. I want the go because of form factor but modding it requires slight hardware mods
When it comes to which is the best to own if you care about homebrew its the PSP Go hands down
Only handheld worth buying now is steam deck, you can emulate games from any other handheld on it
Gitarooman Lives is my favourite PSP music game. I hope it comes to PS+++ one day!
Most people don’t realize you could still download digital games straight to your PSPs from the psn store
Third birthday is loosely based on the parasite EVE games. Deadhead Fred is a good PSP game I would recommend.
I started buying PSP games and movies this year.
it's really funny picking some of them up because at the gamestore the clerk just looks at me going
"Christmas with the Kranks, huh?"
I got Kill Bill 1 and 2 still
The PSP is the JRPG fan's wet dream. I basically owe this console for turning me into a Square Enix and Atlus megastan with the amount of nights I'd spent sneaking in some playtime on P3P and FFIV Complete as a kid
Also timing this with the Lunar announcement was clever lol
One model that I don't think was mentioned was the PSP Street which was a very late addition
I’m buying these and holding these as collectibles for a very long time
I'd recommend getting Kurohyou 1&2. Japan exclusive spin-offs of the Yakuza series. There is a fan made English patch, though. Don't worry.
I'd also recommend Undead Knights. It's kinda like Dynesty Warriors, but you can turn enemy units into your undead servants.
My only gripe with later psp models is the tray is flimsy as hell and super fragile
A game I recommend is Death Jr. played the heck out of it when I was younger.
I lost my psp on a taxi with friends, a few days old. When it was lunch😢. I was devastated, i rebought it on 2022. Yeah....
UNTOLD LEGENDS WAS OP AT THE TIME I USED TO PLAY IT FOR HOURS
Hot Shots Golf were great, either one of them.
