1. Get a PSP
2. Get a Pandora's Battery
3. Mod PSP
4. Pirate PSP games
5. Realize all but three are mediocre/bad, regret your purchase.
6. Play Emulators on it instead

I don't even think there are any new games coming out for it this season. Square and Sony are the only ones who actually gives a damn about the system, and neither has a release for the game.

I had shitloads of fun with mine before it got stoled.

The Syphon Filter games make me feel like a spy in a way that Metal Gear Solid was never able to. The multiplayer in it is far better than the Portable Ops games. But I don't know how many people are playing it anymore. All of the games you mentioned are righteous, and you should put Death Jr. and Twisted Metal on your list, as well. Pursuit Force is fun in a very silly way.

And, if you do go the modding route, don't ask me about it because I'm sick of explaining it to little bastards. If you do decide to, it would be the most powerful handheld emulating device on the planet. Until the Pandora comes out.

A smart person should be able to figure it out through google. I did, at least.

I was in the scene from the 2.5 firmware on high for about two years. I knew how things went down. You'd be amazed at how many dumb kids there are. They just kept asknig questions and never stopped. They'd follow simple, self-explanatory, idiot-proof instructions, get lost, and then ask why their PSP know shows nothing but a black screen. I'm glad Dark Alex had the foresight to include a recovery partition for the custom firmware.

Eventually, before I lost my PSP, I left the whole hackin' scene behind. I left for the greener pastures of the Nokia N800 and have never looked back since.

To anyone thinking of hacking the PSP: follow instructions to the letter. DON'T IMPROVISE, LEST YOU BRICK SOMETHING.

The same could be said of upgrading a firmware on any device.

It's pretty much the only reason I want a PSP... but I'm not gonna shell out 150+ (or whatever it costs these days) just to play that one game. If you don't have a DS, I'd suggest that because there are more good games on the DS than on all 3 consoles these days if you ask me.

$150 is accurate as far as I can tell.

And I sold my DS. I don't know what it is about becoming disinterested with my portable things, but I do.

Dont forget that the first Star Ocean is now on the PSP. Also pick up the Capcom Classics Collection discs, Sega Genesis Collection, Metal Slug Collection, and Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX. Or just anything that comes from capcom.

And if you can find it, Pick up Final Fantasy 1 and 2 for the system, much better than the PSone and NES versions. Makes me wish they would Re-Release 6 on the system.

I've beat the first two arcade titles in the series, but I find that Ultimate Ghost 'n Goblins is insanely hard.

I can only tell you how the whole portable-thing worked for me. I bought a PSP some years ago. I bought several games for it that were quite fun. Then I bough a DS lite and the PSP was almost instantly forgotten. I haven´t touched it in...I think since the Dracula X Chronicles were released.

Don´t get me wrong, the PSP has some really nice games and it produces better 3d than the DS, even though it´s still PS1-Niveau. But the DS is simply better for someone like me because:

-The battery lasts longer
-The Standby-mechanism (closing it) is just excellent
-It´s smaller (I don´t have Wookie-Hands)
-It operates without a sound, since there´s no spinning disc in it
-No loading times (most of the time at least)
-It´s a lot easier to get your DS to play DS-Roms without a risk of destroying it (even though I do try to buy all of my games it´s a great way to try some of them first)


The only thing I really don´t like is that there are no decent emulators for the thing.


Hm, now I only talked about the DS...guess that´s my opinion then.

You can put PSP games on a memory stick. That reduces load times and makes the thing all but silent.

But donīt you have to mod the whole thing first to be able to do that? I never did that, since it seemed a bit too...risky to me, but I donīt really know about the whole process, so...

Same here. There's two games I want on the PSP, one on the PS3, maybe two on the XBox360, and about 4 on the Wii. And I actually HAVE about a half-dozen games on the DS.

I love my DS.

Have a DS, got enough games for it for this year (or that I can think of.) I really do think I should get a PSP, with the surprise lack of new games this December. Plus, it's the only way right now to play Darkstalkers and Power Stone

I think that Powerstone may have been ported to the Dreamcast. Can someone check me if I'm wrong?

Didn't it originally come out for DC? :V

Also, DS has plenty of awesome games this season. Fire Emblem, Kirby Super Star, Chrono FUCKING Trigger, Metal Slug 7, Trackmania...

That's a fantastic lineup.

Powerstone was originally for the arcade, then the DC, and now the PSP.
