Welcome to another episode of Obsolete Tech! The show where we dive into the tech and gadgets that time has left behind. In today's episode, we're taking a deep dive into the UMD (Universal Media Disc), Sony's ambitious attempt to revolutionise portable media for the PSP (PlayStation Portable).
What was the UMD, how did it work, and why did it never catch on? We'll explore the rise and fall of this quirky format, examining its impact on gaming, movies, and the tech landscape of the mid-2000s. Was it ahead of its time, or just another format that couldn't keep up with the digital revolution?

    When I put my miyoo mini back together the power button is loose and does not turn the system on anymore. Any thoughts on what I should do?

    • @_2ndliferetro
      @_2ndliferetro 4 дня назад

      Hey mate, when you press the power button does it feel like the button on the board is pressing? Or is the plastic button on the shell not making contact? Make sure the battery is fully connected. The mother board might not be fully in place, could try opening it back up and making sure the plastic clips along the outside are all holding the board correctly. Let me know how you go, hope this helps

    • @MegaULLOM
      @MegaULLOM 4 дня назад

      @_2ndliferetro it doesn't appear the plastic button is making contact. I couldn't really identify if there was a rubber piece on the motherboard that was missing or not. I worry that when I tried to screw everything back together that the power button wasn't set correctly before I tightened the last screws, which I could imagine may possibly have broken something off the motherboard. Really bummed. Feel like I just lost my best friend :(

    • @_2ndliferetro
      @_2ndliferetro День назад

      Nooo! Not the miyoo! If you like, send some pictures of the power button area and the mother board to me on instagram (2ndliferetro), can have a deeper look and try to get it working!

    UMDs were a terrible format in objective terms. Slow, noisy, ate up all the battery, too big. all those characteristics made even worse by portability. Cartridges would have been a lot better.

  • @bhirawamaylana466
    @bhirawamaylana466 12 дней назад

    4:25 I mean most people either have DVD player or PS2, so yeah watching movie on the go is the only thing what make UMD Movie last little bit longer at least when you compare PSP size with portable DVD player size back then.

      Truecbecause both are like a dsi xl vs ds/ds lite both are compact and portbale but orher than music if you use an sd card the larger dsi xl has not as much ability with the internet being most likely not useful even if hpmebrew/modded hardware is used for a dsi or in this case dsi xl vs the bacjwards ocmpatible with gba ganes for one player mode onthe ds and ds lite.. similar to the the larger but only music cd possibly mp3 cd and picture cd or movie compatobke on dvd portable dvd players and nkw ig portable blu ray players idk mucj about portable blu rya if anything at all but ueah because the psp I read can do ,ovies but obviouslycalso games and music.. so neat :D also its a more compact system.

    A glossy Cherry Red and Forest Green DSi were released as a Christmas special in Japan iirc, and as a Mario Party DS combo pack here in the US. Otherwise, most DSi were Matte, with a metal looking dark blue in the States as well. (and as a note for everyone thinking about doing this, it's best to leave the screws with a little slack so you don't overtighten and so you can open it later if there are issues. Screws can get stuck!)

    uh, mother/earthbound wasn't "failed", it was a successful trio of games and its creator just doesn't have any desire to create more of them? ness and lucas have become mainstays in smash bros too

    • @_2ndliferetro
      @_2ndliferetro Месяц назад

      Yeah for sure, it’s definitely beloved, especially now, it wasn’t a success when it was released in the west though, that’s why we never got the second (third) instalment. But like I said, fans loved it enough that they later created an English patch for the Japanese sequel

  • @DarkEcho32
    @DarkEcho32 Месяц назад

    The fact there are 3 games in the Mother series and it gets rep in Smash with Ness and Lucas very much make it a franchise. It's simply a dormant/finished franchise.

    I always saw eternal darkness at the store but never got it. The wii had been out for a year or two and i still saw it at the store for 50 dollars. I was like "why". So i was curious so i bought it. It was alright though not worth 50 dollars at the time i purchased it.

    Doing modifications to any ds system for me has been unlucky. Caused me many disasters. Seeing other people with the patience to make it all work is inspiring. I have a 3DS XL I would like to attempt a capture card install again, but last time I managed to mess something up horribly, and I had to trash the whole system.
