Should I buy a PSP and mod it to relive my childhood or should I just dig out my dust-gathering PS Vita and mod that instead?
buy a game gear instead
Buy a gf instead
Your childhood is dead and no amount of vapid consumerism will fill the gaping hole in your soul
>>746703397The Armored Core PSP ports are shit to play on a PSP but become amazing on a Vita.
There's basically no reason to use a psp ever again having a vita. Zero. Nada. Not a single one.
There's little point to owning a PSP if you already own a Vita.
>>746703397you can play every psp game natively, with higher framerates, dual analog support and a much better screen on the vitaso yeah, go mod ithttps://vita.hacks.guide/
>>746703463This>>746703492Do this>>746703860Listen to this>>746703902Don't listen to this>>746703937This
>>746703860I imagine most gamers' childhoods sucked hard. Mine certainly did and things haven't changed much at all.
>>746703397Get a chink handheld
>>746703397Both suck and you really should just install a PSP emulator on PC but if you have to choose between these two the Vita with Adrenaline is the superior experience.
>>746703397Mod the Vita, you won't regret it
>>746704907The vita is genuinely a great machine
>>746703397buy a backbone controller and play psp games on your phone, upscaled and on 60fps. Cost 20$
>>746703397just get a chinkheld, there is no point playing a PSP when it's easily emulated nowadays
>>746703397I mean if you still have the vita mod it and fuck with it for a whilebut changhelds are better now that they started copying the vita design
>>746703397vita has a better screen and more flexibility
>>746704980>>746704390>>746704970everyone recommending this is a fucking retard since PPSSPP on these things has input delay added onto android slowing it down even more
>>746703397just emulate >>746703860this
>>746707680why would input lag matter bro you just need it to take pictures of title screens
>>746703397PPSSPP emulatior is just straight betterImagine playing MHFU with only 1 thumb stick
>>746703397nigger if you have a vita already why would you buy a psp?just cfw it dumbass
>>746703937PSP on Vita is stretched and blurry since the resolutions are different.
>>746708223In addition PSP on Vita only uses 32MB like the original PSP model, not 64MB like the 2000/3000 models.
>>746708223You can disable filters in the settings.>>746708329Wrong.https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/Adrenaline>Changelog v2>Added 64MB RAM support for homebrews.
>>746707973You can rebind the right stick on the vita to the dpad for camera controls
>>746708223As was already said filtering can be disabled via settings. After that the Vita's display is superior to any PSP model regardless of whether it's the OLED or LCD model. The resolution is exactly twice the PSP's resolution on both axes so the picture looks clean and good with filtering disabled.>>746708329Do any commercial PSP games even use the extra memory for anything? UMD caching is irrelevant since on Vita everything runs from SD card anyway.>>746704954Well the OP already has one so might as well use it I guess. (and there's absolutely no reason to buy a PSP ever except if you want to dump UMDs yourself). I'm not sure I'd buy one in 2026 though. What are the prices like nowadays?PSP emulators on PC can render at high resolution (though ofc you lose portability), the last time I was using my Vita regularly Adrenaline couldn't do that. That was many many years ago so maybe it's changed? and no the optional 2xSaI/xbrz/whatever like filtering doesn't count as high res rendering.I know Maidump is incredibly outdated stuff I just wanted to post it for the background picture.
>>746703397Modding a PSVita to play PSP games is quite trivial. You do need a SD2Vita adapter tho but that costs like 10$ max, but after putting a microSD the only thing you need to do is connect PSVita to the Internet and visit a website that does the exploit automatically.
>>746703397not really much point, the vita is much nicert. sold my psp3000
>>746708687>>746709646I think he meant that games looks blurry because they still run at psp resolution
>>746711735with adrenaline you can resize PSP games as much as you want so you can shrink it to the original PSP size or correct the aspect ratio
>>746703397The PSP is more sovl, especially if you have one of dem cool limited editions like the Miku one but from a practical standpoint the Vita is superior even if you have zero interest in playing Vita games: more comfortable, better screen, better controls thanks to second analog. If you really want a PSP you should consider the PSPGO, it has a tiny footprint and is incredibly fun if you like to carry a handheld gaming device with you.
>>746703397Your phone is much more capable, any fucking android handheld would do it and give you much more options. Or even a fucking Steam Deck.
>>746713317I don't really like the PSP Go. The screen is smaller, the ergonomics are much worse and I'm not aware of any cheap memory cards.
Doesn't adrenaline have input lag?
>>746711735But they look pixelated with the filter disabled not blurry? It's just pixel doubled aka 2x integer scaled on both axes then.
What are some good PSP games. I've been having fun with Locoroco, Adventures to go, Monster hunter FU, Katamari, and Pangya golf
>>746714631The japanese only revision of Ultimate Ghosts n Goblins
>746714253Bait post.
>>746714631favourite genres?
>>746703860It will, actually. I still enjoy Digimon World 1 and the IMOQ quadrilogy at least once a year, for example.
It's called an emulator. My old PSP's battery blew up
>>746715075RPG stuff is pretty fun, but I already play enough tile based tactic games like tactics ogre or disgea so no more of those. I like to have a good variety of options so anything nice
>>746703397yea
>>746707680not in retroarch
>>746714631Vice City StoriesMGS Peace WalkerDanganronpa 1 and 2(all 3 have better versions on other platforms though, if you're playing on Vita DR1&2 were also released for that)FFIV Complete Collection has pretty good revamped 2D graphics but the translation is worse than in FF4DSExitMaybe Dracula X Chronicles for the SOTN port. It has horrid graphics scaling though (problem with the original game on PSP as well, not a Vita issue).
>>746703397just get a telescopic controller and use your phonePSP games on Vita look like shit, at least on your phone you can upscale
>>746715349Thanks, Those look pretty good. I heard one of the final fantasy games has more 'active' turn based combat so I'll look into them
>>746715349Oh and Dracula X has a port of the PCE Dracula X game with English translation as well. But same issue with horrible graphics scaling. Also by default you can only play the Dracula X remake with shitty "2.5D" graphics, the ports need to be unlocked but you can just go download a save file from somewhere.
>>746707680literal non-issue
Solid option, I'd be more inclined to emulate.I run some emulated abandon ware from the PS2 and PS3 era.Also had one of these (pic related).Some of the Asian made Emulator handheld console are actually pretty solid, worth a consider.Good luck Op, you'll probably have more fun than putting all your hope in the let downs that tend to be coming out of modern gaming.Sorry if there's bad grammar I'm up real late here.
>>746712802My Vita will snap eventually if grab both sides and push or pull
>>746703860Wanna know who else is dead?I miss her...
>>746714631
>>746714403yea i mixed them up>>746714631Gladiator beginsCombat Arms
>>746703937Vita can't play UMD videos GAMES.
>>746715492>I heard one of the final fantasy games has more 'active' turn based combat so I'll look into themIf it's referring to FF7 Crisis Core that one is garbage in my opinion. Even FF7 Rebirth is better (both story/character wise and gameplay wise) and I kinda hated that one too.I forgot the PSP God of War games from my list, they're alright too (especially the second one) though not on the same level as the PS2 games. HD remasters with improved controls exist on PS3 though...Exit has a sequel but I never played it.If you like Vice City Stories then Liberty City Stories may be also worth trying out, I think I did eventually complete it (a long time ago) but I never liked it as much as VCS. (and similar to VCS there's a better version on PS2)
>>746703397i recommend a chinkheld simply because you can use syncthing to automatically backup you saves or sync thing with your pc. but you can really go wrong with pulling out your vita. there isn't really a point in carrying a psp unless you mod the fuck out of it with a bigger battery so it can outlast the vita.>>746714631>Monster hunter FUMonster Hunter Portable 3rd
>>7467184843rd doesn't have G-rank
>>746718484how do you like your thor? i've been thinking of getting one and i see a lot of mixed opinions on /vr/ about it
>>746718484but you can't*** really go wrong with pulling out your vita>>746718525I think its fine. its using a similar iteration of the engine as fu or other psp entries. While Tri/p3rd/3u share a LOT of the content each entry is enjoyable on its own.>>746718689I liek it. it's kinda replaced every other handheld for me. occasionally I chose my deck over it but my 3ds/vita/psp/switch are all collecting dust now mostly. I should put them back in their boxes. /vr/ hates it because most of them like being contrarians. I have never seen a singular handheld cause as much seethe as thor does over there. i have a feeling that its too expensive for their taste and they expect chinkhelds to be in the $50-$200 range but I have nothing to back that claim. there's a few anons like tripfag moose who is genuine and will point out the obvious flaws with some games not working as intended on thor but idk, it can play 99.9% of the games I want to play on it so I'm happy.
>>746715550>>746707940t. gun and ball gamer
>>746719130thanks. i've been wanting to upgrade from my rp4 for a bit, especially now that i'm starting to hit the ps2 performance wall where some games just run like shit. the dual-screen / clamshell form factor has always been appealing to me as well. the price sucks, but that's what i get for not buying one last year i guess
>>746717102I could have sworn that there must be a way to make these work on Adrenaline but it appears not.
>>746703397>Vita>Miyoo mini plus>Hacked n3DS XL>Switch 2>Steam deckYou can only choose 2
>>7467199978.0.2 might be able to support them
Neither retard, buy a chinkheld.
