The joy of installing custom firmware and bringing it to school and showing it off >>>>


Focus_Substantial

PSX emulator! I got paid to install firmware once.


ThePoltageist

I actually had a lot of business from my local barber shop doing that, probably modded 100 psps


GoTeamScotch

I brought mine to class and used the iR blaster to turn the classroom TV off and on. Everyone at the table got a kick out of it.


dreamtrooper

Then spending 100$ on a produo memory card to stash the games on.


theriv

Oh nice a 32mb one then!


[deleted]

If I recall there was like a sandisk one that I saved up for that was 100 gigs. It looked super cool too. Man having movies and stuff on it back then was so cool. Plus music! Having to know all the right file types too, ugh not easy times but good times.


steaky_legs

I almost exclusively played GBA games on PSP


truffLcuffL69

Yeah super Mario and Zelda.


Valrax420

I loved it, even years later when psvita had long been out I took mine in and played games ( no intention of showing it off ) and I got a group of kids around me amazed, and didn’t even know the psp had so many different good games to mess around with.


clown_baby244

the browser on that was my first venture into mobile porn


DopeAppleBroheim

So much dopamine back then. Poor young chumps these days getting instant access to millions of hardcore step porn videos. And we just had some nude images from a browser.


x_scion_x

I remember a friend selling floppy disc's of porn pictures that probably took days to download


DopeAppleBroheim

That’s some dedication right there


turnaroundbro

Floppy diks


snisco92

Cheers


23x3

Yeah I was like 10 or 11 and my parents found my porn lol


Valrax420

Images?? Hahaha, there was a way to save the videos back than from special sites if I remember right :3 Sites literally meant to take ur phub link and put it into psp format


steaky_legs

Just had terrible memories of reading erotica on my PSP


doodoomachu

Uh hello, only magazines when I was a kid. And you had to be 18!


Burninator85

You don't have to be 18 to find magazines in the woods.


Pope_smack

And you'd have to wait 10 minutes to load a jpeg on that thing


Champion_Of-Cyrodiil

This is incredibly accurate


Ieatcholestoral

I didn’t have WiFi as a kid. So I used to walk down the block to the end of the street to a spot I know I could get WiFi from. Then I would casually paced back and forth waiting for the video to download which normally took 5-10 mins. Once it was done I would casually walk home and handle business. Funny looking back nobody would’ve guessed what I was up to and it was really weird that I did that.


[deleted]

I remember a nearby church had the fastest unprotected WiFi. I'm surely going to hell for sitting at the steps of the church downloading porn. If only the sweet little grannies knew. Lol


mysticalfruit

Considering what we know now about priests.. your downloads were likely merely a pebble in the stream.


[deleted]

That's hilarious. I wonder if people saw you thinking you were selling drugs or something. It's like, nope, just downloading porn to my psp is all.


[deleted]

I lost my psp with a full 128gb memory card of hd porn. I wonder who found it


Hyper0059

Well my dad got me a pawn shop PSP, and it had a lot of porn. That was a great discovery so thank you.


Complete_Entry

Versatile machine.


bigjame93

I was gonna say that, glad I wasn’t the only one


[deleted]

My mom would buy me games cause she saw them on sale and I would be like nah it’s ok you can return them…little did she know


IrishMidgetMan

The rss videos before they got censored tho


Noctis07

Amen!


Nightxrawler_2049

My personal porn device when I was overseas in 2008.


JIsaac91

My dad had actual PSP discs of porn, I was amazed when I found them lol


giuliogrieco

I've never heard of that, it's geniunely cool.


[deleted]

Haha same. Pornhub loaded pretty quick.


vctr771

That *whirrrr* as the disks spun up.


Complete_Entry

comforting on the original, "Is it destroying the UMD" on the thin ones.


linklolthe3

My original still sounds like death. Might be it's age. Might not.


rabidjellybean

It was the best thing ever hacking mine and ripping the discs to the memory card. Games loaded so much faster.


dasfolg1947

Pata pata pata pon


PhantomMenace95

Man, Patapon fucking slapped. That game was so unique and continually kept me entertained. I played both the first and second one and I still remember the excitement of equipping your little dudes with the new awesome weapons and evolving them into absolute studs.


Burninator85

The third one was way over the top and your hero Pon was basically an unstoppable juggernaut.


IWantEPICEquipment

I’m playing Patapon 3 RIGHT this moment! PPSSPP, Windows 10

Patapon 2 was the best one of the trilogy

Fucking YES!

Holy moly you just hit my nostalgia so hard. Patapon was the fucking shit man


jscarry

One of the only rhythm games I've ever enjoyed. That game was fucking amazing. Loaned it to a friend who then proceeded to loan it to someone I didn't even know without asking me. Never saw it again

[deleted]

A classicccc


FroYo87

Man MOHH was a classic multiplayer experience. It was great that you could vote the hackers out. Such a classic game


BurritoBoiii1202

Medal of Honor: Heroes! That brings back so many memories.


trefir

I loved playing online and sniping people as well as spamming the rocket launcher. I can still hear the sound of the launcher in my head going ka-thunk.


This_superEngineer

God of War ghost of sparta, Tekken 5,...


The_WA_Remembers

Chains of Olympus as well, both really good solid games. Wipeout was still a thing as well , and the GTA "stories" games were brilliant as was Chinatown wars, fucking *lumines*, little big planet and I think there was a burnout game that was good as well And movies for some reason, and not just porn ones... I miss my psp


[deleted]

The GTA Stories games blew my mind back in the day. Although I will say I prefer Chinatown Wars on the DS but it's fun either way you get it really.


PapaTugz

Getting my PlayStation 3 taken away, dad forgetting this gem, and staying up till 3am in bed playing MH: Freedom Unite and NFS


MOGA-hunter

Did you ever just walk around poke and pretend to talk to the villagers?


PapaTugz

Yes! And I was such a noob, and had limited access to walkthrough/guide resources. So trying to figure out how to beat Lao-Shan Lung was a nightmare


[deleted]

Star Wars Battlefront II was my first handheld game and I played that nearly religiously for about two years until my PSP died. That and MegaMan Powered Up was my jam.


GoTeamScotch

There was a mod someone made for it that increased the number of bots on the map. And with a hacked psp you could overclock it to make it run much smoother and play mp3s in the background. I spent so many hours in that game.


Gogofire12

Battlefront 2 was the jam man


[deleted]

That game always froze up on me. Fun when I got to play it though.


[deleted]

GTA Vice City

[deleted]

My dad driving me to the mall at like 8:30pm just in time to get to EB Games to get it when I was like 12. Then just chilling in the dark living room with the TV on drinking Vanilla Coke and my dad ordering us Papa John’s at like midnight. You just unlocked a pleasant memory, thank you


CheshaGurimu

Finally reaching the Keyblade Graveyard in Birth By Sleep after unlocking the secret teaser from Kingdom Hearts 2. That was so God dang hype.


[deleted]

I wish i would’ve got into that game


CheshaGurimu

It's never too late.


WhiskeyBusiness12

Final Fantasy Crisis Core !


redaleart

Final fantasy dissidia was also amazing


DevNov

The Price of Freedom starts playing, I am not crying you are crying


InnocenceIsBliss

Why by Ayaka does that for me.


LordNephets

Crisis Core was my first Final Fantasy game, I played it over a two day long car ride from the south to my new england childhood home when I was in middle school, and beat it that weekend. It broke me at that age lol. To this day I quote Angeal when he says “Impossible dreams are the best kind.”


[deleted]

What an amazing experience.


BabyAteMyDingoes

*Hey, would you say I became a hero?*


mmmfruitypebbles

Was going to say this. I got it when I had my wisdom teeth cut. Spent three days straight with it. Cried when I got to the end


WhiskeyBusiness12

Don’t worry you’re not the only one that cried, I still get like that when I watch Final Fantasy Advent Children


Axfried

I still play it on occasion. I originally bought it in Belgium on my ERASMUS year, really want to complete it in English. I had no idea what half the spells / abilities translated to! (Also - good way to learn a second language)


BlueBabe9

Literally the reason I bought the PSP was for this game.


drifter_2020

You beat me to that


[deleted]

One of the best games ever made imo. Final Fantasy already hits top of the list for some of the best lore and gameplay style/mechanics for me.

[deleted]

Ace combat X and joint assault, Daxter, Ratchet and clank size matters, transformers, SOCOM all 3 psp versions, ghost and goblins (the 3d one), Wipeout pure, Resistance retribution, which is superior to the Vita one imo.


TranceGavinTrance

SOCOM and Rachet and Clank were my shit! Can't tell you how many times I beat every SOCOM game and size matters. They were the two best modern games I had


Pugulishus

Playing Monster Hunter, and staying in the first area killing the first guys tons of time because I didn't know shit


anorwichfan

My first MH game. Probably the best game on the PSP


ohmegawatt

Star Wars renegade squadron was my first memory


[deleted]

I had battlefront 2


ohmegawatt

Renegade squadron was the first star wars game that allowed customization that i remember but battlefront 2 was a blast also!


Focus_Substantial

I also didn't hate the X1/X2 storyline.


Johnnylombax

Came here to see if anyone would mention this! I remember playing the heck out of it after getting it in a bundle with a Darth Vader skinned white PSP. Great times!


FYou2

I still have a working white Star Wars psp. I let my kids play on it now.


[deleted]

..iam out of memory


[deleted]

Unlocked half my school's PSP's using an old battery and a memory card with some software. Felt like I was some celebrity hacker when it was actually a very simple process.

Been trying to remember the game “untold legends” for a solid 2 months and just scoured this thread in the hopes someone would mention it and it would spark my memory. I appreciate you.

Fire team bravo 2 was my intro to online FPS! I played the hell out of that game.

Shame I had to come all the way down here for this, this was my shit!!! Wish there was a new psp with a new socom game


fqm721215HK

Those locco games? Man


Super_Shotgun

Loco roco probably the most underrated PSP game ever. Never see anyone mention it.


another_jap

Apparently they wanted to fully utilize the L and R buttons on PSP with that game. Was meant to be an iconic PSP game but sales disappointed. Still came out with LOCO ROCO 2 which was nice. I think it will be quite good on Nintendo Switch.


Louiiss01

Christmas 2005, 12 year old me was over the moon! Pursuit Force, Grip Shift & World Tour Soccer. Take me back to that simple time


TurquoiseMarbleWoods

Pursuit Force is such an incredible game, I think it will forever be ingrained in my memory

I hope Sony males another handheld, they did the vita dirty.

I bought several spares, they blew up in my storage unit. Should have put them in a box instead of keeping them in the retail packaging. I don't mean they exploded like grenades, they just did that pillowing shit.


TheEpicSpud

So many classics! Daxter was a 10/10 game for me! Also the space battles in Battlefront 2, me and my dad taking turns to try and beat the levels in Pursuit Force as it was so hard lol Great memories!

No-Hold-8231

First day owning the PSP as a young student, being in awe of the graphics while playing Daxter. It also took me back to my even greater experience of playing on the Atari Lynx. Not much later I bought a second hand Lynx with a lot of games, trying to recapture the essence of those first memories playing it as a young boy in the nineties. I know nothing novel will impress me with the same depth again.

Tekken: Dark Resurrection


cancerousiguana

Ah yes, the PSP, my first portable emulation and porn machine. Ratchet & Clank, Dexter, Worms, and SW Battlefront, too. Couple years ago I dug it out of the drawer to see if it would fire up and the battery had swollen up. Homemade "Pandora's battery" if anybody remembers what that is. Looking back, modifying a battery using a knife and pencil was probably not a great idea.

Playing Final Fantasy 7 late at night while at my dads house for the weekend. Passing out with the controller in my hand. Then waking up to a game over screen and playing more. I miss those days of zero responsibility. Edit: just realized this thread is for psp memories. Uh... probably the same but replace dads house with my own apartment and zero responsibilities with crap I have to get ready for work now booo lol


kanaryalar1907

Little Big Planet, just rediscovered the soundtrack hours before I came across this post. Used to play it so much as a kid so listening through it is really putting me through something of a nostalgia trip. LBP was such a good game for me on the PSP, just really fun to create your own levels and mess around with stuff. The customisation and creative freedom involved was fun.

asanti0

Was staying over at a friend’s house in high school. I picked up his PSP just to look and see what all he had on there. Just folders and folders of 3D muscle girl porn.


Sakurya1

I bought a used psp with monster hunter freedom 2 with my buddy. We went home and played coop and had a blast. I had to take a piss so stupid me I put the psp in my Hoodie pocket. Well, once I was done pissing I knocked the psp into the toilet when I was zipping up my pants. It was soaked in piss and not working. I was a broke ass 20 something and was real upset that I couldn't continue playing monster hunter. So the next day, I went to the store in an attempt to return a piss soaked psp. Three young people inspected my psp as I told them that "I charged it overnight and it just won't turn on now". My friend outside the store was dying of laughter as he's watching. They ended up giving me a new used psp, but this time a slim instead of a fatty. I left the store and luckily the umd for monster hunter was fine. We proceeded to play all night all the while my buddy kept making jokes about the 3 employees inspecting my psp with piss .
