That's the biggest problem and one it seems Sony didn't get when the PSP dove head first into the pavement.

I can empathize. Which is why when my PSP isn't being used as a one-pound paper weight, it's playing mostly retro collections. Sega Genesis Collection, Midway Arcade Treasures, Capcom Classics Collection. Along with Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins -- still one of my favourite games, on any console -- and Street Fighter Alpha 3: MAX.

Then again, I did have a good time with Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and my downloaded copy of the original Metal Gear Solid kept me busy for about ten hours with nostalgia-fuelled goodness.

Yep. My PSP was used almost entirely for quirky little games like WTF and Patapon and remakes like Maverick Hunter X and FFT. The occasional port worked, like P3P or Gitaroo Man Lives!, but those were few and far between.

My PSP is still a l'il beauty... it's the Green MGS one but I modded it so I can play all my Genesis, NES SNES roms, etc. I dunno' if a MAME emulator was ever made for the PSP but I should look into it. I'll pick up a Vita when it has more of what I want and can run emulators.

As long as it's better than that Smash Up trash.

*PizzaPower* · 06-25-2012, 04:49 PM

wait we can mod out a PSP to play SNES, NES, and sega roms? Can it still play PSP games and access the internet? Tell me how to do this please!

I also like handheld gaming since I can take a fun game wherever I go, instead of having to play it exclusively at home (part of the reason I'm excited for P4: Golden). I currently own a 3DS, a PS Vita, the PSP - 1000, a DS and DS Lite, 2 GB Advances, and *phew* a Gameboy Color. The PS Vita kept me entertained for a while with Uncharted: Golden Abyss, but I've been more attached to the 3DS. Tales of the Abyss 3D is quite the time-killer! The Vita has had plenty of good games though, and it certainly had a better launch than the 3DS. P4: Golden is all I'm really excited for Vita-wise though. I lost hundreds of hours to the PSP though, mainly due to Patapon and Dissidia: Final Fantasy.
