A PSP Go modded with the M2 MicroSD Memory Card Adapter and PS Vita Battery(with bigger back plate) is the ultimate pocketable handheld. An amazing little machine!
Great vid, I added a PSP Go to my collection a few years ago and every once in a while I'm still coming back to it... The last digit of the model number is in fact the region-code, 0 is Japan, 1 North America and 4 Europe...
I remember back in middle school when my friend had a Wii U because it was something different as a brand new console that matches Nintendo switch before it came out and it was so fun, super Mario bros, splatoon, Zelda and Batman was THAT good in terms of graphics. But I still had a Nintendo Ds and also a Psp go because it’s like the earlier version of the switch where you can connect your Av HDMI cords to the tv while taking on the go.
Watching this from Sacramento! Just checked out Fair Game recently myself. I also recently picked up a PSPGo after only having the PSP 1000 back in the day. I now have a Go, a Vita, and a 1000 model. Long live the PSP! Btw after playing all of them, the go is my favorite. The form factor is great and I love the sliding mechanism. So satisfying.
Really enjoyed this John. Was nice to see old tech working - I remember buying my first PSP - I imported it from Japan and got hit with loads of customs charges lol
an easy way to get that back online is to either find wifi that dosn't have a passworld or you can go into your router settings and set up a wifi guest account without a password, that should let you get online again easy.
I absolutely loved my og PSP. It was a massive success for Sony and had so many great games & playing movies was a neat bonus. Current WiFi routers are too advanced for the PSP so I believe you may need to get an older router to successfully connect. Too bad the PSP Go had small internal memory and Sony’s proprietary memory cards were costly.I almost bought the Go but purchased a 2nd PSP 2001 instead. Just felt PSP could do everything the Go (yes it’s more compact) could do with bonus of playing physical UMD’s. Vita wasn’t as successful but too bad Sony is currently out of the portable market.

Most likely your 2.4 and 5 wifi connections are combined, you will need to separate them in the admin settings to connect to the wifi. PSPs can only get to 2.4.
I bought my PSP Go off a college student in my town. Great system. Played a bunch of PS1 and PSP digital games on it. MIDWAY (greatest hits) rocks for this thing. Shame we don't have Sonys portable love anymore.
That is one nice and clean looking PSP Go! I never had one back in the day because I was totally against an all digital system. I owned several PSPs, and eventually a few PS Vitas. I did however pick up a PSP Go a few months ago, and I modded it, but there's only so much you can put on that 16 GB of internal memory. It's still a unique and compact system to add to your gaming collection.
I wouldn't mind picking up a PSP Go nowadays as a backup since PSPs are so easily mod-able at this point, but I remember being skeptical of "all digital" when it came out. The PSP is such an amazing console though, and I still fire my 2000 up from time to time.
Me too, on the idea of all digital console and the firing up of my old PSP one grand. They work and it really is a testament to how cool these things Sony made for our pockets were. You get it!
All digital was fine. The problem was certain games didn't appear on the digital store. A big one being Crisis Core. I think, at the time, it was only way to play PSP games on a TV via a docking system so it was a cute switch-like device.
Another issue is it released 3 generations into the life span meaning a lot of people already had a physical library that would have been useless if they brought a Go
@@speedwaynutt It's got more appeal nowadays as you can run 100s of games off on an SD card now, there's not much need to collect UMDs unless you really want a copy.
I still can’t believe I bought the white glacier psp go from eBay a while ago in mint condition for only $100. Came with screen protector on & clear hard case shell. Its modded as well. Something tells me dude who sold it is regretting it to this day lol
I love the white psp go. Such a stylish console! They even run Ps1 natively so you can add games without even hacking it. I currently own 2, a black one for a Psp library and the white one for an all japanese Ps1 library. Couldn’t be more happy.
Exactly all the GOOD PSP games were on UMD's and the PSP Go not only did it NOT have a UMD drive but none of the games made on UMD JRPG wise made it to the PSP Go's PSN making it a completely worthless system. As for Media Go I'm not even sure that site exists these days.

I have my Vita still. Works great. Okay, so it's modded out for GBA and SNES games, but it works great! Which I guess is why they cost a bit on ebay. Next step, get one to mod for PS1 and PS2 JRPGs.
I have the white Go since launch, as well as the red God of War PSP-2000. For the psp Go, a few yrs ago I picked up the Sony first party Component video charging/tv dock (was not cheap but I wanted it before it went higher). Love the PSP!!!!
It’s weird, after the OG Gameboy, I never bought another handheld system. I think part of it was the OG Gameboy was so janky it kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. But the other thing was I never understood playing games “on the go” once I exited childhood… then fast forward to the pandemic and I went nuts for old handhelds. I ended up buying every handheld ever with a specific focus on the DS/3DS line. Now it’s my number one system I play, at least for now. The 3DS is so hackable and easy to install software on it has all my retro needs in one place. I could literally never add another game to my collection and just bring around my one New 3DS XL and have enough games to keep me busy for the next 20 years.
I had one that I found at my cousin's house probably because they didn't like the all digital idea and it was cool but it was smaller than my white Star Wars PSP so it didn't feel as comfortable to hold with my big hands. I eventually hacked it and sold it on Ebay. The PSP was my go to device for music,movies,and games especially when I started working as a School Bus Driver from 2006 up until I got my first smartphone a Samsung Galaxy S2 in 2013.
Are you still having WiFi issues? Someone may have already mentioned this, but since you're using your Series S on your current router, it may be a 5ghz router you have. Unfortunately the PSP GO connects to the older 2.4ghz router. Same issue I had with my PSP GO.
It’s a great handheld , I use it way more than my switch because mine is full of PSP and ps1 games , I’m not a Nintendo guy , I only bought a switch for the ports , once I can hack my switch it may become my favourite handheld
My PSP Go is my daily handheld and has been for YEARS. I have the one I use daily, one that is broken(water damage) which I may fix or scrap for future parts and I have one brand new in the box for when my daily PSP dies. I also have a 16gb card brand new. Good luck finding those for under $100 now..
The reason you can’t get on wifi is because wifi standards have changed , routers no longer broadcast 2.4 ghz it’s only 5 ghz the the solution is to go into your router and tell it to broadcast both 2.4 and 5 Your local friendly network technician
Going digital is bitter sweet. It's nice to have everything in one spot but scary that the download servers can be shut down some day... the pride of ownership goes bye bye.
I'm seeing this a little late, so you've probably figured this out by now, but the wifi only supports WPA1. You can try the code on your PS3, and transfer it to the go over USB.
Get a dock, a PSP Go Component video cable, an AC charger from a UMD model PSP (or many other Sony devices), a 16Gb M2 Memory card, and a spare Dualshock 3 or Sixaxis controller, and boom - you've got a PSP Switch for playing PSP and PSone games on the move, or on the TV. You will have to initially connect your DS3 to a PS3 to configure it to work with the Go, but after that, it works wirelessly with the Go seamlessly. Worth doing.
back in the ays i bought 3 defective psp 1004 models and built a working one from them, besides the few exclusively umd games i own i bought every game digital so it was natural for me to switch to the psp go when it came out. then i put cfw on my psps so i could dump the umd games i oown and play them on my psp go
I have a big PSP collection games/systems etc, including a PSP GO, personally I've got it softmodded and take it to work with me and play it on my lunch break, fantastic little system, only thing is it could have been a bit bigger perhaps! as I take it and my nintendo switch lite, too, which looks giant in comparison. still, the games on PSP are still great fun today! so much variety! I'd just recently finished "Infected" and have been getting thru "chili con carnage" recently, both fantastic PSP exclusives
The one thing that I really hate about the PSP goal is the power cord. They had to go and make a whole new cord for the go instead of sticking with the same one that all the other PSPs used.
I have always liked the look of the PSP go, especially the white. The all digital is a bit of a setback but I'm sure majority of people hack these to add games/movies? Definitely something I hope to buy eventually. The local pawn shops that I've seen usually have either the PSP/PSvita (I own a PSP) but I haven't seen a PSP Go in years
The PSP doesnt' support modern Wi-Fi network security. That's why you couldn't use your home network. If you set your phone up as a hotspot with security, you can still connect. I have tested this with the PSP 3000. Unfortuntely, the store was shut down last summer.
I love mine, and my super rare dock that uses semi-standard component cables (it uses headphone connectors that break out into female component connectors) instead of the PSP go cable
I think you have to fiddle with the Wi-Fi settings on your computer. It should go through just fine something to do with the key-something I don’t know. Btw I’m Orlando from sacgameexpo
not sure if its already been mentioned or not. Chances are your home network does not have separately broadcast SSID's for 2.5 and 5ghz networks. the PSP is only going to be able to scan for a 2.5 ghz network ssid. A lot of current Modem/Router combo's from ISP's are piggy backing them these days and depending on the hardware you might not be able to split them. If you have separate Router you should be able to go into your router settings and make sure the 2.5 is set to have its own broadcasting SSID. Once thats done the PSP should be able to see the network and be able to connect up.
I actually just picked up a psp go a few months ago. It is such a great little system. I wish I had one at launch. Right now I have been playing some old school OG Playstation games on it like Parasite Eve and Twisted Metal. Any other suggestions?
I really like my psp go. I only have Wwe 2011 and burnout. Along with random ps1 games that were able to transfer. I couldn’t connect it to my WiFi either
I would go all digital with my PS4 because the games take up less space on the hard drive, it's a pain to having to switch discs everytime you play online vs your friends. The main issue is cost. They never go down in price like physical copies...So I tend to buy physical copies...If they ever go down like physical copies...I would just go all digital because it's so much more convinient.
Love my PSP Go. When I got married I had a "destination wedding" and I bought PSP Gos for my best men so we had something to do the night before the wedding. Good times.
Where is everyone getting all these new PSP GO's at? There's a ton of them showing up on TH-cam vids!! I can't even get mine to hook up to the internet anymore. It won't recognize my wifi. Any ideas?
I live in an area where there are literally no games stores, so if i wanted to buy the latest PSP titles, doing so digitally was no issue for me. I had a PSP1000, with a twin MicroSD card adapter, which gave me acres of storage. Sadly, the battery died, so a 2nd hand PSP Go I was able to pick up locally was a great purchase. The reason you can't get online is because your Router is using a newer encryption than the PSP can handle - but, some routers are able to broadcast two networks, one for newer devices, and one for older devices, so you could well be able to use that. The PSP store is long shut down, sadly though.
I bought one of these used a few years back and have never actually got any play out of it. I was interested in hacking it and loading it with games though. It was my understanding when I bought it that you basically had to hack it unless it already had games loaded to it. And the internet security protocols have changed. I have some Nintendo handhelds that will not connect to my current WiFi because of it.
I went to a retro game store called "G.A.M.E.S." and it has so many psp gos and ps vitas they usually dont have much of either but this time there was more ps vitas and psp gos than normal psps [there was 2 normal psps]
reminds me of the Xperia Play... Awesome for gaming, but it sucked as a Phone. Still have it even though it doesn't work properly anymore, and it's very, very slow now....
I still have my Go. It is no longer compatible with my Wi-Fi. I still have some great games on it. It's just unfortunate that its outdated and doesn't go online anymore.
Let's look at the AtGames Legends Ultimate Mini home arcade - th-cam.com/video/6hb46dfXU8c/w-d-xo.html
psp works only on wifi B witch came before wifi G and N set you router to 2.4 ghz wireless b mode in the wifi setting

This thing is cool, never owned one myself, I have that Sony psp Experia phone that's like a cross between this and an n-gage.
Still use my original PSP and have it soft modded for 8-bit, 16-bit and PS1 emulation.
I bought this day one and still have it. It was perfect for my traveling job at the time. I hacked it as soon as the exploit came out for patapon 2

Had a similar issue when I turned my DS Lite on after it had been in the cupboard many years.
How do you do that? We have DS and 3DS that will not connect as well as a PSP and a PSP go. None of which connect to our new WiFi.
@Loosely Collected It's different per internet provider, it's best to call tech support and tell them you want to separate the 2.4 and 5 connections

You're becoming my pet goose's favourite youtuber!
interesting to see physical only vs. download only (even withdrawn ones) ?
what games are unique ?

Your wireless router is probably a higher bandwidth, which isn't compatible. If you have one of those 5G/2G signals, it should work on the 2G.
You can usually set it up that way if it's not already.
The reason you can’t get on wifi is because wifi standards have changed , routers no longer broadcast 2.4 ghz it’s only 5 ghz the the solution is to go into your router and tell it to broadcast both 2.4 and 5
Your local friendly network technician
It's the wifi security protocol. PSP only supports WPA which isn't really used anymore. If you have a PS3 you can transfer games from it to the PSP.
Super cool- I love both of mine- have the black and the white models
I still love the design, remember the Sony phone? Same concept and I wanted so bad.
Woah is this the only White PSP Go in the world without the rear pads yellowed?
Great video!
If you have an android you can change Wi-Fi hotspot to none on security and it’ll work.
I'll have to give it a shot.
Going digital is bitter sweet. It's nice to have everything in one spot but scary that the download servers can be shut down some day... the pride of ownership goes bye bye.
I think wifi has to be 2.4ghz. Had that problem with an old wireless printer
Great little handheld love mine
Go to your advanced setting for your gateway and go to security enable wps to allow both wps 1 and 2. I recently enabled it and it works like a blast
I'm seeing this a little late, so you've probably figured this out by now, but the wifi only supports WPA1. You can try the code on your PS3, and transfer it to the go over USB.
I did a hard mod and now mine has 128gb Micro SD Card. So I loaded up mine with games and roms and still have like 20 gb free of space.

Man i miss my white psp go.. had my vehicle broken into five years ago and my bag swiped out of my back seat which had my pspgo :(
Yes this is genuine hack and works as promised in my case. Thank you very much.
I've still got my psp go and original box. Has all of my favorite GBA games.
I needed to connect my PSP recently and ended up using my phone's hotspot, which worked fine.
Btw john you could turn on a wifi hotspot in windows and you can set the hotspot to share wifi without encryption
Is the battery good on this system???
I really like my psp go. I only have Wwe 2011 and burnout. Along with random ps1 games that were able to transfer. I couldn’t connect it to my WiFi either
Psp go was ahead of its time
where do you order a brand new one?
I would go all digital with my PS4 because the games take up less space on the hard drive, it's a pain to having to switch discs everytime you play online vs your friends. The main issue is cost. They never go down in price like physical copies...So I tend to buy physical copies...If they ever go down like physical copies...I would just go all digital because it's so much more convinient.
U may be able to just change security type. I've done that to get Nintendo DS on wifi. But, I don't know anything about PsP or computers these days.
The Wi-Fi won’t work unless you have a router that supports 802.11b which is a standard that has long since been replaced
As PSN database ended up getting hacked, it was probably for the better that you avoided to put your CC-information on there back then.
I chose a PSP Go for its build in memory as prices for memory were ridiculous. And as I never planned on using physical games... 🌝🌝
Love my PSP Go. When I got married I had a "destination wedding" and I bought PSP Gos for my best men so we had something to do the night before the wedding. Good times.
Where is everyone getting all these new PSP GO's at? There's a ton of them showing up on TH-cam vids!! I can't even get mine to hook up to the internet anymore. It won't recognize my wifi. Any ideas?
This is so awesome. I sucked at Patapon
I live in an area where there are literally no games stores, so if i wanted to buy the latest PSP titles, doing so digitally was no issue for me. I had a PSP1000, with a twin MicroSD card adapter, which gave me acres of storage. Sadly, the battery died, so a 2nd hand PSP Go I was able to pick up locally was a great purchase. The reason you can't get online is because your Router is using a newer encryption than the PSP can handle - but, some routers are able to broadcast two networks, one for newer devices, and one for older devices, so you could well be able to use that. The PSP store is long shut down, sadly though.
I bought one of these used a few years back and have never actually got any play out of it. I was interested in hacking it and loading it with games though. It was my understanding when I bought it that you basically had to hack it unless it already had games loaded to it. And the internet security protocols have changed. I have some Nintendo handhelds that will not connect to my current WiFi because of it.
Where is your Sony Xperia Play?
I never bought one but I wish I had.
I went to a retro game store called "G.A.M.E.S." and it has so many psp gos and ps vitas they usually dont have much of either but this time there was more ps vitas and psp gos than normal psps [there was 2 normal psps]
reminds me of the Xperia Play... Awesome for gaming, but it sucked as a Phone. Still have it even though it doesn't work properly anymore, and it's very, very slow now....
So minty fresh!
I still have my Go. It is no longer compatible with my Wi-Fi. I still have some great games on it. It's just unfortunate that its outdated and doesn't go online anymore.
