younger me almost snapped my first UMD in half thinking that I was supposed to open the plastic casing to get the disc out. it eventually broke anyway, they all did. just thinking about the loud mechanical buzzing of the UMD reader sends me back

Elvis_Maximus posted:Golf story was good right? One of my all time fav games was the weird Camelot Mario golf RPG, it was so dang good and I'd love another game like that. I didn’t think the actual golfing mechanics felt as good as even the original Camelot Mario Golf. And the story/writing/etc. didn’t engage me (not that the Camelot writing was Shakespeare). Quit halfway through. It’s relatively cheap though so YMMV.

The best part about the PSP was you could insert a UMD, use moderate force to "twist" the PSP's body, and the UMD drive would pop open, ejecting the UMD a good 6-12 feet.

Golf Story didn’t grab me. The music and sound mixing in it really annoyed me as well, which is not a complaint I usually have for a game.

This probably isn’t shared by many people but the PSP game library is probably my favorite of any portable game system.

I remember back in like 2006 there was a half-life 2 mod called SMOD or something that had tons of different novelty weapons and one was a "UMD launcher" that was basically a PSP that launched explosives shaped like UMDs. The alternate fire had Gordon press the square button, and nothing happened. It was hilarious.

Is Episode I Racer still coming out on the 12th? I saw Aspyr tweeted that it's specifically only the PS4 version that's delayed, but its absence from the eshop less than a week before release has me concerned!!!

Wamdoodle posted:iirc the Square button would get stuck on earlier models and you had to mess with it to unstick it e. I don't remember having problems with it being unresponsive but it definitely felt like total poo poo compared to the other face buttons. Also my unit had like four stuck pixels of various colours right out of the box and every other PSP owner I knew had the same thing going on, how the gently caress was that ever acceptable?

Hell yeah sticky square button gang represent You just learned to deal with it because god drat that was such a gorgeous piece of hardware back then. I still love the "glass" style seethru shoulder buttons on sony handhelds, weird clickiness and all. Made me feel like a real grown up boy unlike those Nintendo loving preschoolers with their Mickey mouse ears and tamagochis

Pretty good posted:The square button on my 1000 never got stuck but the left side sank in noticeably deeper than the right when pushed, like they engineered it so it felt as though it was perched precariously on the edge of a shelf LCDs of that size and density were kind of a novelty in 2003.

KingSlime posted:Hell yeah sticky square button gang represent Yeah the PSP was really flashy for the first five minutes after you took it out of the box before every single inch of it was covered in fingerprints. I still don't know why they made the finish so glossy. Here's a fun fact: The PSP had a higher initial MSRP than the Switch Lite.

All joking aside I wish I'd spent more time with my PSP back in the day. It was a great console. I think it was pretty profitable too, even though it never reached the highs of the Nintendo DS.

PSPs didn't vaporize or anything, although most OEM batteries have gone bad. Either way, they're not that hard to source--or at least, weren't pre-pandemic. It's not too late!

At this point a homebrew vita is just better than a PSP. You can even run all the PSP homebrew on it if you want to.

I didn't unlink my psn account and have even used it to download games from PSN onto it while having the console homebrewed. I haven't gotten banned or anything (but it has admittedly been a while since I did anything with my Vita). Your mileage may wary though
