I love how this goes from a review to “let’s pirate shit on this”
piracy on the psp was so common it was even allowed to be discussed on gamefaqs for a few years, until they started to crack down on it. we ...er i mean they had to speak in code ie cfw: chicken fried watermelon etc etc
😂😂
@facelessninetytwo aka Man of the Rain it is a gateway to piracy though
@@bruhintoshmoment3865 Like you can murder someone with a kitchen knife but your need it.
@@jasonbrown467 there has to be a bit of racism in that “code” 🤔
"Every system needs to have Doom running on it" -amen
Only prob is which version the console ones are fun but the computer ones have more mods but i find trying to figure out what goes with what too F-ing confusing
*DOOM is the God of all game devices: **_Omnipresent._*
This man knows.
Btw, does anyone know where to find his PSP port of Doom?
amen
Loved the video. I always upvote PSP content!
sir. i respect you for your vids and i just recently luckily found my psp go, thanks
i am a happy adult now w/ ps1 games on the go
Can you still play PSP games on the PSP go also using a emu
i played divi dead ported and watching Hentai movie on psp, without having caught by my parents lol
Yeah PSP Go can handle emulator such as Sega CD, GBA, Sega Saturn, SNES, Sega Genesis it works perfect too bad much of nintendo rom are shutdown by gov
But now days i just stick with my android phone + ipega and buy PSSPP Gold on the store, yeah it still sucks at compatibility too but the graphics was ok
To this day I still think the PSP Go clock is one of the coolest looking on screen clocks I've seen.
Not really! I found it to be "tacky" it's not even a proper circle it just crops off the screen at top and the bottom it seem the click widget was designed for a screen with a different ratio
@nintenbloxshorts9773 u can with cfw.
psp and go aged beautifully
I could say the same thing about your fine AF Mom.
@Hax no, just no
@@hax2009 no, just no
And yes
@@_nayrb what did he say
I can absolutely agree with your recommendation on it, I still find myself going back to the PSP family of systems and for the past week or so have actually been bringing my PSP Go with me. It's truly a great system but that's only if you're going to mod it, which let's face it... Most people buying one will plan to. That was the hard sell with it back in the day, no one was asking for a digital only PSP. I remember when I first saw one in the game shop I worked at my first thought was "Wow, this is perfect for CFW users!" and sadly that proved to be true. I think for the several years I worked there we got 2 of these in stock and it took us over a year to move them out.
The price definitely spiked back up after 2013, right before that you could find these at used shops for $40 or less easily. Game shops would gladly discount them and throw in what they could because they always had difficulty selling them, but not the 1000/2000/3000 models.
MrMario2011 I still have my PSP Go, but I personally wouldn't recommend it over a Vita, yes the Go has the useful tiny form factor for taking everywhere, but the way the Vita feels whilst playing and handles homebrew overall is just a much better experience... in my own opinion anyway.
P.S. I'm a big fan of your work
I had several I picked up cheap, softmodded and sold for a small profit. Now they are pricey.
@@MrGonz801 As someone who owns both a Vita and a PSP Go, i've nowadays been using more the latter than the former, even as advanced and objectively powerful the Vita is. That form factor really gets me.
This one is a handheld powerhouse even in 2018, I still use my Go very frequently and I couldn't be happier with it.
Battery life isn't so great anymore on my side, But it has been truly respectable for the 6 years or so that I've owned it.
I've gotta admit that I'm truly happy that you made a video on it, It's a really underrated device and one that I really love too.
Great video, As always!!!
The PSP in general is an awesome platform. Probably my favorite handheld overall. It just has a fantastic library and it is still solid as an emulation device.
I'm always expecting your videos to open with "The original Xbox..."
For your capture card or a CRT, the Go and 3000 can output 240p/288p via component for PS1 titles if set to output interlaced. Pretty neat it can do so.
I get excited over new MVG videos the same way I used to go nuts whenever there was a new EGM on the magazine rack back in the day. Some things never change.
I still play the PSP Go to this day and own multiple Go devices so my friends can join me on games such as Burnout Legends and Untold Legends from time to time, we have also dabbled with PSX Multiplayer using irShell recently but it isn't the best sadly due to sync issues (A possible mod to allow PSX multiplayer support on Adrenaline perhaps? I best pester theFlow!)
I have been active in the PSP scene for more than a decade now and it's great to see a video like this from such a credible RUclips/Modder so thank you for the upload, the community appreciates it.
Love these vids about reviving handhelds with CFW, homebrew, emulators etc.
Amazing video, Im a HandHeld console collector here in Brazil and also love my PSP Go. Very portable, very beautiful. Congrats! :D
That short tutorial on how to set up the files was way more useful than anything else I found on the internet. Thanks a ton!
One of my favorite channels right now. And speaking of the Vita, would love to see more about it from you.
i bought my psp 1000 on january 2006, and its still going strong today. gotta love that build quality.
Great devices.
I remember browsing the internet on my psp1001 before smartphones came around and I was very impressed.
I've had 4 of these for the longest time and use them often for power stone collection and other exclusive multiplayer games during my group's get togethers.
The quality of your videos just keeps on getting better! I had also totally frogot about the PSP GO
Still carry my go with me everywhere till this day along side my vita.
I still remember back when it was released, me and my friends made fun of the PSP Go, because of it's weird design to the older models, but having bought one a few years ago myself i've got to admit: I just love my PSP Go, it is such a nice compact retro solution with emulators. I don't mind not having too much space for the PSP and PSX library, because I prefer to play them with my Vita anyway(because of the second Stick etc). And nowadays it's just so much more affordable compared to when it was released.
Always a treat when you upload. Cheers!
Modern Vintage Gamer, I love your videos. Very chill and I really like how you explain things so that slow people like myself can keep up. Keep up the great work bro.
I was using the PSPgo as a micro console and EMULATOR to my TV with the PSPgo Dock and a PS3 controller. PSP was amazing.
For anybody who's interested on installing a cfw on a psp they should checkout the 6.61 infinity firmware that allows any psp (go included) to run a permanent cfw even after reboot.
hah, really? any draw backs to this?
Yes! I purchased a PSPGO a year ago, for the mod features. Still looks awesome and great possibilities.
Bro, your channel is AWESOME. Very informative.
They were so underrated they were basically an older version Nintendo switch
Great video MVG
Thank god someone else loves the Go. Mine got alot of love after the microsd card mod. Love the videos.
Thank you very much for another video full of useful information. Seeing what each one of these handhelds is actually capable of, showcased in a way that's clear and easy to grasp makes it a lot easier to decide if it's something that suits your needs or not. As I'm currently trying to decide which portable console to buy, I'll make sure to keep this video in mind!
Great video!
Component video out is not unique to PSP Go, PSP-3000 has it as well.
Thanks to a really good PS1 emulation and video output quality, it is a really good way to play PS1 games on a TV if you don't own a PS1, especially with Framemeister and its zoom capabilities.
In my opinion, considering the fact that there's an SD memory card mod available, PSP Go may very well be the best PSP revision thanks to Bluetooth and DualShock 3 support.
Love my PSP Go. It's almost too small but taking Gran Turismo and Pac Man C.E. so conveniently is awesome.
Great overview.
Managed to find one at a car boot sale for cheap. Great device for someone who never owned a PSP there's a stack of not that old gaming to be explored.
I owned this since around 2010-2011 and I thought I lost it in a move a year or so ago and recently found it and it still working even after so long of not using it.
PSP Go is an aweesome device in 2018! I have one in my backpack.
Should I get it? Does it play all regular psp games?
I was always attracted to the console phone and so naturally for me the best experience with a portable console was with the Xperia Play, almost perfect for emulation a nice physical pad, after that I migrated to the JxD s5800 which has as much quality (as long as we are not afraid of big mobile phone).
I’ve been meaning to get one of these since my psp slim broke up on me, thanks a bunch!
I've been using PSP GO for almoast 10 years, and still play it to this date. IT IS AMAZING, God of war, NFS, GT, everything is just amazing
Thanks for this system the Xperia Play smartphone had a built-in Ps1 emulator
I picked up a psp-1000 for 20 bucks (with a charger and two games!) I can't wait to get the memory stick adapter. I've had my eyes on a psp for about a year now. You have to keep your eyes out for good deals.
EggoMyLego A PhotoFast MicroSD to MS Pro Duo adaptor is a cheap and known working solution. I've had one in my PSP-1002 for years and it still works like a champion.
yup got my psvita for 50€ with 2 games killzone and minecraft sold those to the pawn shop for 4and 2euro. and it had a 4gb m2. which is needed to boot h encore. so yeah im happy 44€ psvita. btw psp are same price i just wanted yo play somr good old psp games that ppsspp refuses to run
Hi! Have only just got around to subscribing to your channel - even though I have followed you for a while, now. Within this last week, I have bought a PSP go - AND a PS Vita! Though not together! And I've had a PSP 1003 for few years now, and I think it's a great handheld console! Keep up the great work! 👍👍
Great material, I was looking for something like that, I thought about it, but after that I will reflect
2:59 16 MB of storage...damn Sony are teases!
I managed to get pong AND pacman on mine
He meant to say 16 gigabytes. I know, you were just joking. Lol
Yeah, and switch comes with 32...
This is just a classic showing off how mentally inept Sony was when it came to the PS Vita. Criminally insane price gouging on already proprietary memory cards and terrible storage sizes. The fact that a 4gb mem card exists is just mind numbing.. 4gbs.... Even back then 4 gbs at best will get you one maybe two sizeable games. For retros sure maybe about 6. It just doesn't make sense that they'd give their PSP redesign all this storage, but their new handheld console has they rob of this option. It's honestly crazy how much this would have gone a long way for the system.
@@pandabean thank God we can use mods to use normal SD cards. Can use up to 500 GBs.
My favourite is the PSP. I do own a 3DS but I cannot softmod it. But I do own a PSP 3000 with Infinity Permanent 6.61. I actually did the jailbreak. It came with 5.03 OFW. I play retro games on it
sounds awesome. i was playing crisis core ff7 on my psp 3000. battery lasted about an hour or less but my psp was a bit older lol. nice review brother i will pick one up
psp is so ahead of its time
it came out in 2003
and here I'm still holding on to it after 16 years!!!!!!
Who's from 2020? Had 2 GOs, the first in 2018, and the second in 2020. Had so many regrets after selling it first time. Great handheld)
Pretty sure the Vita now owns the crown of best handheld after the latest Hencore updates a month ago. The Go is nice if you want something super portable though.
the OLED screen on the vita is still one of the best screens ive seen with my own 2 eyes
and i game on a benQ 27 inch 1440p 144hz 1ms monitor with a titan XP, i can't make shit look that good no matter what i tweak
@Rick Shaw - pFBA runs much better on Switch than Vita; I have both. Even with 500 mhz plug-in, Vita chokes on alot of arcade games, such as Splatterhouse, Aliens, & R-Type Leo. The Switch runs these with ease. Vita homebrew has a head start, that's all.
Hencore is such a godly cfw. Love it
lol, both new 2ds/3ds and switch are so much better handheld its just ridiculous to even compare. its all about that library
What if there was a ps vita go?
Just modded my PSP yesterday! One of the best things I've done with a console in a long time.
So much love for this device.
I remember back when i was 10 i have a psp go and i actually discovered that my teacher has a psp too! So we played games (MH3RD most of the time) after the class ended :D
Rizki Maulana P that’s like dream come true!
my favourite is still the original psp
Zewiq same.
better form factor, friendlier for the hands
Too big.
Mine's the PSP Slim. My OG one still works and I've got a 128GB MicroSD in there for a TON of games (seriously...stupid how much you can fit in there!). I've got a screen brightness plugin, screenshot support, emulators, etc. It's a good lil' system.
I'd take the slim over the phat, tho. The phat is nicer in the hands for sure, but that 32MB of RAM isn't doing it favors...
I love the sound output on the original compared to other versions. Sounds amazing in the car. It onboard dac and amplified sound is great. Later models moved the processing to arm and it lost a lot of oomph
you keep reviving platforms, ily
i still have my original psp that i got for christmas back in 2004 and it still works to this day :)
I still have a working PSP 1000. I still travel with it.
PSP Go was revived by the hacking community with the launch of the custom firmware.
To bad they use proprietary cables. Because of this, I try to avoid it.
You mean the chargers that it uses ?
@@chriswilliams9734 yes
They make adapters dude to convert it to standard PSP charger
LMFAO, you can buy replacement cables for near nothing.
The cables are extremely cheap
Cheers mate! Thanks for the info. I liked what you put out about the Wii U and this one.
Your videos are very detailed, thank you.
I own the PSP Go since day one. *hugs PSP Go*
I'm pretty sure wololo.net is a an Age of Empires reference. Convert your psp go to run custom firmware today!
Me: Can I please run these emulators?
PSPGO: no
Me: Wololo!
(PSPGO changes color)
PSPGO: Ok fine
I dont get it lol
@@TheSikedSicronic Have you never played Age of Empires 2?
@@ozzie_goat yeah i played it. But like maybe 4 matches. So basicslly not really. I played civ 4 more like 8 matches. So i guess wohoolo is a server or sumthing.
In the Age of Empires series, there is a unit that has the power to convert enemy units to your side. That unit starts the conversion with the enchantment "wololoooo"...
@@TheSliderW o lmfaooo i got it now. Thanks lmaooo😂😂
At 08:16 Lovely Pick with the PSP God of War Scene / Capture, this device runs it perfectly. :) Also huge thank you for all the work for the community over the years
Your reviews are so neutral and lively. Much love from India.
man I remember when gamestop was selling these for like 50 bucks back in 2011-ish. I wish I had invested in a few of these, not because to try and resell them though, just to have a couple of backups in case my white psp go craps out and the price keeps rising on them making it harder to get another one.
There's a few of them on Ebay for around $80 or less
@Rick Shaw At the time the go had came out I didnt really pay attention to it because I already had the 3000 which was still pretty brand new. I do recall the go being $250 but I dont think they sold as well as they should have. So maybe gamestop was trying the clear their inventory at that time.
@Rick Shaw I bought mine from ebay last month for around $85. I was a little worried about the slide mechanism too but it holds up pretty good as long as you take care of it. I have a psvita also but its not hacked yet.
My favorite handheld in 2018 is my gameboy color and my everdrive gb lmao
Damn dude!that intro/background beat is boss!!!!
I own a black PSP Go. I got it when it originally came out. Fortunately, it's in amazing shape. I have only been using it to play movies on it but I may go ahead & load the custom firmware on it & see what I can do with it. I would love to play Sega Genesis games, NES games, etc. on it. That would be pretty cool. Cool video. Thanks, man!
I think adrenaline on the VITA killed this for me, it does everything the psp go does but faster and with a bigger better screen.
I thought so too, but then the PSP is smaller and lighter. I still have a soft spot for my PSP :D
@Vegan Pete PSP titles are loaded separately into adrenaline, and you can always create folders if your run out of bubble space
The biggest downside to the PSP Go is the propriatory SD Card. 16gb is fine for alls 8 and 16 Bit games, but if you want to put your whole PSP and/or PSX library on it you will run out of space very quick. It is possible to mod the system to use micro SD but I don't have the skills to mod it myself.
Got mine for about 40€ in near mint condition btw.
m2adapter.cart.fc2.com/
Haha.. I was about to say... :-)
Ali Niazi interesting suggestion, is this the only spot I could get one of these adapters, it's so damn cool, never knew this existed!
@@greentray1231 yes, it's made by some Japanese guy big in the modding scene. Took about a week for mine to get here and it works fine after a finnicky setup. Well worth it.
Ali Niazi that is pretty cool, but it wouldn’t be so easy to change cards. I had a 128gb micro sd in my 3000, and it took forever for the psp to access it. It wasnt the card it was on the psp side. I ended up bumping back to a 64gb card, and I kept the second 64gb card in the umd door to swap out when I wanted to access the rest of my library. Maybe there is a solution if you wanted to cut files and compress them to DAX?
I have 2 PSP's and Vita, for the rest of my life. Perfect little things to have when traveling or on hollidays. I love them alle 3 :D
I actually bought a PSPgo a year ago and I still play with it every day in my daily commute :)
Technically it's a great handheld, but I find it far too cramped to play on the console for any prolonged period of time. The PSP models before it were much more comfortable to play on.
True. But in that case, you can connect a controller and tv up to it if you were to play for an extended period of time
@@ethan928 Depends on your needs. I prefer portables. I play with my Switch in handheld mode 100% of the time, while my woman plays hers on my damn TV all the time. It works out xD
I guess I'm just primed that way because of my GB/GBA/PSP/VIta/3DS
People wasn't ready for the PSP Go.
2019: No one is ready for the Xbox One S Digital.
I sure was!!! It was genius, pure genius! The cool flip up design was so sweet to me I was hooked. To be able to have all of those games at your disposal without having to carry around dozens of discs!!! The portability of the psp go was unrivaled... It was so small and the clever design still has a place in my heart.....
I hate the all digital xbox one S
The Xboner Digital is stupid though. It's a console. It sits at home. It's basically the same size. It costs the same as its disk reading counterparts. It doesn't need to be lighter or smaller, because it's not portable anyways. You're just losing the ability to save hard drive space, save time by not having to download everything, saving data, having physical backups, and being able to watch movies on disks.
I know I didn't want it because I already had a collection of UMD movies and games. Most of which I still need to get rid of..
As for the Xbox One S Digital, I didn't even know that was a thing!
I couldn't agree more on your thoughts! I bought 2 for 90 euros 3 months ago.
Great video! If you want a permanently loaded cfw, you can install the firmware 6.61 and then flash the Infinity firmware hack. After that, you can install either the PRO or the ME custom firmware and configure the 6.61 Infinity loader to load one of them as default at bootup. I did this on my psp 3000 and it has been great ever since.
linoxyard I do not use infinity because of the instability, thus I still do regularly cfw recovery stuffs when I am using it
The best PSP is a Vita. I got a Go thinking it would be an ideal portable PS1 emulator. No, it's terrible. The controller is a hand cramp waiting to happen. The screen is too small and not as clear as modern LCDs. The storage situation sucks if you need more than a couple GBs. The final nail though: That single analog stick and no L2/R2.
The Vita is more comfortable, looks better, runs better, has more storage, plays PS1, PSP, and Vita games - and will emulate other systems better than the slower PSP. There's just not much there to recommend.
The one sole saving grace for the Go, however.... Put it on a dock, plug in component video cables, pair a PS3 controller, and set the video mode to Interlaced. Now you get true 240p output on PS1 games. Woo!
Just remember to pair the PS3 controller at home - you can't do it in a hotel room 2000 miles away from your PlayStation 3. Apparently.
The PSP can run massive storage with a MicroSD adapter. I have mine set up with 64gb of storage but could up that to 128. If you're on a budget and you want a great mod capable system it's worth looking into. Of course if you want more performance go for the Vita.
Can you show me an example of the interlaced screen?
What interlaced screen? You talking about the PSP or the Vita?
Same, its too small and it hurt my hands
Rick Shaw More like $70-$100 for a decent Vita, can't deny the Vita is overall better but a hacked psp for $30 bucks ain't bad imo.
Best PSP of them all (because of the internal memory)
Sensei Jr. the psp 3000 is my favorite because it has;
Easily exchangeable/upgradable battery
With a sd adapter you can get alot more storage than the go (I wouldnt go more than 64gb)
The 3000 is more comfortable to play for longer
You can rip your umds to the pc with the 3000
I have the component cables for the 3000, but I dont much care to use them
@Rick Shaw - You got a bad one. 2000 series are great & easy to flash. 3000 series has a screen with color bleeding and what looks like scanlines that cannot be removed.
yes it's nice i have psp 3001 and it's good, bad things L button not work and square button work well but i think some clean to check what happend to L button and square work but need to really press that button
Great video. I use my psp go all the time for single player classic emulation (connected to a tv). It plays CFW faster than the 3000 or slim series I have seen. Perhaps it had slightly better hardware with same specs (few months later). A new one is very expensive these days (300$) but a semi new one on ebay might due for half the price.
Man I love my PSP Go! such an sexy console! I even bought a white one cib that was never used for more than a few demos for under 70€ lol
You can install a permanent CFW like 6.61 PRO-C∞ I really don't know why people use temp CFW in 2018.
IMO the gpSP kai 3.4 GBA emu is probably the best portable GBA emulator out there and its always my goto for playing GBA games on the go as i don't own a GBA anymore :(... ok theirs probably a better one on the 3ds but I don't own one of those eather.
On the 3ds you can play gba games natively
IIRC only PSP 1000/2000 models can have the CFW permanently running on the hardware. 3000/Go/E1000 can't have the permanent CFW and need to use temp CFW.
@@Dekasi1112 Really? I remember seeing a video a while ago about a permanent firmware on the PSP Go. I don't have a PSP Go right now, so I can't try it.
@@Dekasi1112 - Outdated news. Use these instructions & files for permanent 6.61 Pro-C2 Infinity on PSP 3000 & Go; No E-series though. I have updated 2 PSP Go's successfully using this:
gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-install-psp-6-61-pro-c-infinity-custom-firmware.468844/
GBA & N64 emulators were recently updated for PSP.
Damn i'm still playing my PSP in public lol
Gotta represent bro. 🖒👊
Last week i bought me a Psp Go too and i Love this console❤
i picked it 2 years ago and i still play it to this day
0:06 That’s now how you’re supposed to hold it.
Bought a go on eBay for sub $100.. came with a 16gb memory card. Score.
This was a great video!!
Great job usual
Actually, there is a permanent CFW for the PSP Go, thay even runs on 6.61. 🤔
Yep, had stability issues using network functions with it though... bit too crash-happy for my liking.
Nothing about 6.61 Infinity?
Right? I have a Go perma-flashed with 6.61 Pro-C2 & Infinity. It works great.
All I put on 3000 and PSP GO is Infinity. I was surprised too.
Got my modded PSP Go right here and I couldn't agree more! For retro emulation it's a fantastic buy, and there were some pretty decent PSP titles I never played when they were new. I have a modded Vita as well but it's not -quite- as portable.
I love my PSP Go! I got it last year, and I love how I can play ps1 games on such a portable console.
2:58 16 mb of internal storage? hahah
it's for the firmware and saves.
@Vegan Pete but it's only 16GB.
The PSP Go is the most comfortable emulation machine in my eyes.
Great. Now I want one, because I hate the touchscreen control for emulators on my phone. Thanks!
Just got one today for 110 CAD. May 2021. Its awesome
I am coming from a PSP 1000/2000/3000 and Vita 1000/2000
The GO is SUCH a unique console, and is incredibly portable.
The PSP Go could have been the best if it had a umd drive
Wrong.. cartridge..
more like if it had a damn sd card slot or even regular mms like regular msm
umds are gross.
StarmenRock thankfully there's an internal SD adapter for it. A little hard to use, but works well.
If it had a UMD drive it wouldn't be a Go. ;-) At any rate, make ISOs at home on a regular PSP, then enjoy playing disc-free with the Go. Or even with the regular PSP - keeps your discs safe and saves a little battery power.
The PSP Go would have been the best if it came out 3 years later, to a fully grown PS Store and then Sony could've released the VIta as the flagship alongside the PS4, but oh well just a matter of timing.
Ps Vita all the way.
It can do the same as the PSP GO.
Only better.
But the psp go has a great design even after so many years..
I wish we had a Vita GO.
We wouldn't even have had to sacrifice physical games this time round.
But Sony only cares about blocking exploits on a console they don't even support anymore.
PSP GO has such an elegant design and it's an emulation masterpiece on top of the PSP and PS1 library, shame it didn't take off, same thing happened to the Sony Xperia Play, they were way ahead of their time, love their design and light weight.
psp libary soooo good . vita is way to go have the oled it's amazing 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥲
Damn, lemme brush the cobwebs off this great video!!! - oh and happy 50th dood
