Had psp like 4 years ago and I fond it so I’m trying to get back into the psp
awesome! its worth getting into and collecting for!
Every single game you mentioned is a jewel on PSP. Thank you for this video!
Got 2 psp-3000 for 65 pounds with 11 games for me and my wife! Nice console. THanks!
Loved the video. I had never heard of death jr. before this. Definitely gonna try it out
thank you! yeah it's a fun little game :D
NIce video, happy you mentioned Dissidia and Monster Hunter ! so much fun
@9:21 now you're talking the ppsspp emulator is AWESOME SAUCE. I got it on my galaxy s8 and it runs like a dream!
Your video was good, Jonny. I am always interested in everything PSP. Thank you.
no problem I really enjoyed making this video thanks for the positive feedback! it really helps
I have a 2000 using 2 x 64gb micro sd cards in a dual slot adapter. Absolutely fantastic
I got my psp from Ali Express it brings back memories! Plus now that we could put ps1 games in it :) I wish it could play some of ps2 games anyway love your video keep it up! Cheers!
Go Dream forever lol, the ps Vita can't even play ps2 game
Solid list, excited to try some of these I was not familiar with once my new PSP comes off eBay
Nice! Really glad you got something out of the video! yea its a great system I play mine more than my switch atm lol let me know what games you get for it! :D
Loved your content,
PSP is an evergreen handheld
Hope your channel grows!!
Thank you! I appreciate that I am in the process of making more videos so make sure you hit the bell!
never heard of death jr but will definitely check it out. looks absolutely adorable and fun
This buying guide is so good an informative. I suggest you also try these little gems for PSP: Exit and Exit 2.
I'll have to check those out I haven't heard of them, I'm really glad it was informative and good it means a lot thank you!
Playing burnout legends on my 3000 rn. Great vid.
Awesome! thats a great game, thank you I appreciate that, I really need to get back to playing more racing games
The PSP has some really quality games. Played the hell out of the Megaman remake titles. I bought three copies of Birth By Sleep (original JP release, english release, and then imported Final Mix.) Crisis Core is a great game, and Dissidia. For me a hidden gem is Half Minute Hero, very fun.
I still have my original 1000 model that I got for my birthday in 2005, but I just bought a 3000 model.
I love the PSP one of my favorite handheld
SAME! its one of the best in my opinion!
@@JonnytheGamer725 ONE of the best?? Come on Brother,PSP is waiting at the Superbowl,while everything else is still navigating through Pop Warner! Nintendo I feel has always focused their sights on a younger target audience,and is it the PSP Go or the PSP Vita that's download only? Regardless,the problem was not with the UMD,it was the crappy design of the plastic casing.
I just picked up a psp 3000 this summer and i ordered a 65g memory card from amazon for 60 bucks.
I love my psp now.
I love that i can play so many great ps1 rpg games from the digital store plus all the amazing psp rpg games.
9 out of 10 from Retro Ron.
Can two psps play each other in close proximity.
@@chickentaquito7804 you can play psp to ps vita back up to psp then down to the ps vita again but only from 6am to 6pm only on Mondays Wednsday and sundays.
@@ronsilk6212 Lol thanks.
@@chickentaquito7804 my pleasure
Yes they can, I used to play monster hunter with my brother in law for hours it was so fun
Wow I never heard of some of these games, awesome video pal.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed!
what I love about birth by sleep is that it removes mana, and every skill had cooldown, it is much better than mana, because you get to use skill more often.
Yes u can run homebrew on all of the models..just need cfm ;-)
Death jr is great second one even better ;)
Gotcha thanks for the correction, I have been wanting to play the second one! maybe once I get it I will do a review
The psp looks amazing. I grew up playing on Nintendo and xbox consoles and sadly never got to play any playstation games until recently. I got a ps4 last year and just got a ps3 not too long ago and I'm really enjoying it. I think the psp and vita are going to be next on my list for my collection. I'm 17 rn so unfortunately I was either a baby, or not alive at all when all the great games from older systems were popular. So I really wanna try and experience all the fun i missed out on. Although now things are getting more rare and expensive and the more "recent" retro consoles had online capabilities and all the servers are shut down or soon to be shut down
You gotta play all the mascot series’ bro; jak and daxter, sly cooper, ratchet and clank. Those are all amazing games
Underrated RUclipsr
+UnderTube that is a really nice thing to say, I really appreciate it thank you!! I’m going to keep working hard on videos!
Do yourself a favor and get a 32 GB micro SD card and a converter for PSP and just put CFW, you can get any game for free and can put emulators on there as well.
I want to get another psp model just for trying that out, thanks!
Can i launch the CFW on psp 3000 ? it doesn't disappear when the psp turn off ?
@@h.a6859 i believe u just have to run it up every time u turn on the psp again, it’s not really that big of an inconvenience
I have been using e1000 model and I love it
Nice! Those models look interesting I’d like to see one in person
nice guide man! just getting into psp now if you can believe it.
Awesome! Its well worth getting into and very fun to collect for
Great Video! I'll play those games on my vita
You can get a adapter to use sd cards with it, its cheaper and gives alot more storage
Get a HDMI adapter to component you can legthen the cord plus it looks better
Also some additional info:
All 1000 models are VERY prone to ghosting. The darker the game's graphics, the more noticeable it is. Games like the Grand Theft Auto games are nearly unplayable due to it, in my opinion.
2000 models have improved upon the issues the 1000 had with ghosting, its still an issue but is not noticeable unless you really look hard enough.
3000 models have the same amount of ghosting, but Sony tried to mask the ghosting by making the 3000's screen use interlaced scan instead of progressive, which is why the 3000 has issues with scanlines.
Models 2000 and newer are capable of playing (some) video game prototypes such as game builds for Saints Row Undercover and Duke Nukem: Critical Mass due to the added memory.
I'm planning to get a psp next month, I mainly want to play ps1 games on it though, metal gear solid, tomb raider, resident evil, parasite eve, clock tower, galerians, syphon filter, fear effect and dino crisis. I'll get a few psp games as well, like tomb raider anniversary and legend, marvel ultimate alliance, persona 3 portable, yugioh gx tag force, both mgs games, silent hill origins perhaps. I just hope memory won't be an issue.
Very good video 👌👍
Thank you I really appreciate it! :)
i actually played 11 of those games that you mentioned when i was a kid and fun fact in MGS Peace Walker you can do multiplayer in main mission or PvP mode same with Dissidia 012 you can do PvP mode anyways great recommendation please play Undead Knights, Dark Mirror, Logan's Shadow and GTA Vice City Stories too they are great games!
also i actually think that PSP has better games than DS, 3DS and PS Vita combined
I didn’t know you could do pvp in mgs peace walker that’s pretty cool! I just picked up Logan’s shadow recently looking forward to playing it, Those other titles sound interesting I’ll check those out
PSPGo is the one!
Hey, no problem with not finishing. FFVI was freaking long.
PSP is so underrated!
Top video can't wait to have my PSP 3004 next week. Only 35€
Wow! what a great deal! congrats! such a great handheld
JonnytheGamer a Red one in perfect condition. And the batterie works great !
Awesome
Great choices! I have jenne d’ark in a plastic and death jr. I want to get the others before they are expensive
They are becoming hard to find and very expensive for sure
It shows again how the psp was ahead of its time. its basicly a switch with the play mobile and on your tv feature.
Get the psp go cables for your tv and you can use a ps3 controller and play on your hdtv
I'll have to try that, it sounds amazing
Good video!!
Thank you I’m glad you liked it!
Basically, you have to defeat robot masters only using the Mega Buster an order to play as them in Mega Man Powered Up.
Medal of Honor Heroes is probably my favorite FPS on the system. Great controls, AMAZING attention to detail. Although the single-player’s kinda barebones, the quality of the game’s mechanics and graphics overall keep me coming back
Edit: While Peace Walker is indeed the first Kojima-signed game, it’s not the first attempt at a canonical title on the system. That goes to Portable Ops, which is hella underrated IMO.
Introducing me to "Dead Head Fred" is worth a subscribe hit from me,no problem.
Liked the video but their are a few points missed. Both the 2000 and 3000 have video out put not just the 3000. PSP production of the 1000-3000 stopped in 2014. Also I Wana say the 2000 and 3000 weigh the same. The main difference between the 2 is the screen and the 3000 has mic built in. But over all good vid 👌
Thanks for the constructive criticism :D now I know for future videos! Thanks also for watching, yeah I have been wanting more actual models because sometimes what I research isn't always 100% correct but I do my best! I always like to learn new things about the psp console so thanks again!
CORRECTING THE CORRECTOR:The 3000 is actually 9 grams less than the 2000. Might sound insignificant,but if you bought an ounce of bud that was 9 grams under it wouldn't seem insignificant for long,lol.
Hi Jonny,great PSP console comparison and must own youtube clip.I would just like to correct you in saying there is no weight difference between the 2000 and 3000 PSP system maybe 3 or 4 grams.I own a 3000 which i consider the best PSP although it does have scanlines the color space feature outweighs the scanlines.Cheers.
I appreciate it! any corrections only help me in the future so thanks! :) I wasn't aware that there was a weight difference
I recommend Corpse party and Corpse party: Book of shadows they are both really good games
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to check those out 🤘🏻🤘🏻
The UMD cases aren't scratching the games,their scratching the plastic casing the game is protected by,big deal. I admit though that you have to be careful when putting the UMD into it though because if you slide it in not perfectly straight,it can slice the the seam of the casing like a hot knife through butter. Also,if the scratches on the plastic cases really bothers you,you can grab a 10 pack of UMD casing's for pocket change.
Actually, all PSP models can run homebrew with the right firmware. Other than that, great video!
oops thank you for the correction :) I'll keep it in mind moving forward, also thanks alot I really appreciate it! nice to connect with someone that's into some of the games and systems that I am
Yes Daniel san,but could they at the time this video was made?
I heard that the 2000 model had the better screen, less motion blur.
I’ve still got the 1000 from launch.
There’s a few compilations from capcom sega Taito etc
yea the 2000 is definitely better but my favorite by far is the 3000 its soo light!
3000 has much brighter screen and has more vibrant colors. the only downside to the 3000 is that it has scanlines but it is not that noticeable.
Yes I getting my first PSP very soon lord will this week I mostly a sports guy but want to get none sports games
I just ordered my very first PSP too !!
Psp-go can absolutely run homebrew.
I have a question I have a PSP 1001 do that means do I have a PSP 1000 because I've been trying to figure that out
Dang that's an official battery ohhhhhhhh
I hacked my psp go and moded the memory card so I have 128 gb and I’m going to upgrade my memory soon I’m also working on moding a bigger battery for it too
I would love to play my PSP Go more. But I just can’t get it online ever. Won’t connect on modern wifi
get a usb cable, than u can mod your psp go, and add free game roms to it, ISO files... their are psp go jailbreak tutorials her eon youtube, and search google for the free ISO/rom game files, i download mine at vimm.
I have the original would the cable that goes onto the tv work with mine?
They should work yes
@@JonnytheGamer725 ok thanks
Also another game I recommend is the PSP port of Star Wars The Force Unleashed. Other then graphics, it’s superior to all the other versions
The 2000 and 3000 model are the same weight and also you never mentioned that the 3000 model has scanlines on the screen, so for some people that doesn't make it better than the 2000 who prefer the look of a clean screen
I just bought a psp to play lumines 2. I decided to pick up Patapon 2 as well. Anything else like these games? (other than the sequels or the ones before it)
I don’t know if many other puzzle games although I did do a review of lumines 1 on my channel I love that game, loco roco is similar to patapon although not a rhythm game.
@@JonnytheGamer725 ok! Thank you :)
What should I do I just formatted the psp my dad gave me and he grew up with it
A lot of people like to mod their psps to play all kinds of classic games like SNES NES game boy etc, and it’s fairly easy to do so that’s one option, or you could hoard physical psp games, which can be pricey. It’s up to you!
Why tf don't you have more subscribers you make some quality videos my man
That is really nice of you, thank you!
Can i play these games in the psp 2000? How do you know what games could support which psp models? Planning to buy the psp 2000, someone please help me 😭
Yes the psp 2000 model will support these games 👍🏻👍🏻 sorry the late reply
All psp models can play all games.
U should do a rainbow six siege livestream it’s my favorite game
I almost got a deal on that game! Damn it playstation plus did not give me the deal when i renewed my membership otherwise I would absolutely stream that game it looks good
Here's a question;(2 part'er even) With the Sony store no longer having PSP content available,1)Who out there is still buying UMD's in November 2019? and 2)[for the true hardcore's],who's still buying UMD Movies? Aside from me of course,who bought his first PSP in 2018 and now own 3 Units as well as 85 games & 80 media UMD's,(not including duplicates,but INCLUDING the 3 I ordered so far today,lol). Better late than never!
@Robert Moreno A year later and it's now 5 PSP's & my UMD collection is quickly approaching 500, lol.
Nice job! Keep it up those are impressive numbers
Does ppsspp 1× rendering graphic look like the original psp graphic? Never own psp before
Ppsspp graphics look much smoother around the edges, I have a psp 3000 I play on and unfortunately, it looks grainy compared to ppsspp
Still have my silver psp 2000 that I had since 2007 but it’s broken n hasn’t turned on since like 2016. I think it’s the motherboard unfortunately but I’ll prob buy a psp again. I recently had one in 2022 but sold it cuz I needed the cash.
I sure do wish I had watched this before ordering a psp a fee days ago. I bought a 32gb memory stick. Oops.
So? Put some PS1 Eboots on there.
@@mrblonde609 exactly mod /jailbreak your psp and than you wil be able to download free games and add them to your psp, than you will feel bad you didnt get 64 gig memory card lol
Id personally add in games such as Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicle and Patapon 2 but still, the psp has a lot more good games than its given credit for.
In which year did you make this video? Thanks
I think it was 2018
Must own psp games are
Metal gear acid 1&2
Metal gear portable ops and +
Metal gear peace walker
Final fantasy : crisis core
Kingdom hearts birth by sleep
GTA :liberty city stories
Resistance : retribution
Syphon filter : dark mirror
Ratchet and clank : size matters
Burnout : legends
Need for speed : most wanted
God of war : chains of Olympus
Tony hawks underground 2 remix
Star Wars : renegade squadron
Tekken 6
Mortal kombat : unclaimed
GTA : vice city stories
And
Soul calibur
Which one is good, psp go or psp 3000
I would say the 3000 personally, mainly because the psp go is all digital and after playing both, I like the way the 3000 feels in my hands
The prices have Gone up significantly with this in the past five months. They average anywhere from three to $400 on Amazon
For sure, the psp games as well are getting crazy expensive:/ at least for some titles, others I’ve found cheap still
Where are you looking? They're significantly cheaper on ebay. Some Psp 2000 models go for $80-$100.
@@shiethegal I just got a 3000 for 150 and I kinda overpaid 😂
@@agamelegend9441 damn that sucks. Did you at least get any games or accessories with it?
the prices for some of these games are very high too, especially games like Jeanne D'Arc
psp go can run homebrew lol the only feature the 1000 has that others dont is an IR blaster. Thats it!
Thanks for the correction :D I'll look into what an IR blaster is, thanks for watching :)
@@JonnytheGamer725 IR Blasters are the things that basically control most of your devices like TVs and ACs, it looks like a small lamp on any remote control.
U get the 3 th brithday the game
I have a 60gb psp 2000
Good list of pics for good games on psp however u can't have a top 15 or top 20 without grand theft auto or Tony hawk. You can't do that . also where's the love for first person shooters ? They did make a few good ones . resistance. Is the best 1 also the syphon filter games are worth too.
I have 32 gb
Go's the best
Should I get a psp jailbreak for 55
Yes do it
@20:32 I think you mean Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics ogre 😂
I found 1004 for 55 euros its that good deal?
Yea thats a decent deal! especially if it was in good condition and also hopefully came with a charger
@@JonnytheGamer725 I buyed 2004 one for 50 euros it is hacked but it comes with 4gb so i cant install much games. But over all i am pretty happy. Thanks for helping me and showing this retro machine i like it alot. Cheers from 🇷🇸 Serbia ❤️
@@JonnytheGamer725 for 100 bux i found a psp 1001 model with 40 best games 7000 retro games charger and 2 gta
Bro decided to casually add him discovering emulation to the middle of his video 😭
Good video but gta vice city stories is my favorite psp game
and it is white! Btw, 512mb is too small if you're going to use it for mp3, mp4 or AVI on your psp
I just got a psp 1000 for 13€ can you suggest me a website to get a good battery ???
Honestly I would recommend trying ebay first they have good filters to find a sony brand battery, other than that newegg.com and amazon.com have good deals but it's a bit harder to find a deal on a name brand sony battery so go with ebay first! :)
Can you make a video about the ps vita ... i have bay 2 psp the 1000 and the 3000 and i am thinking to bay a vita :)
If i can think of a good one i definitely will! I only have a handful of games for it but maybe I will think of something :) thanks for the input!!
8 years old me trying to beat Jinpachi in Easy mode🤣
I have a psp go with 128 gb in it
Nice! great system!
JonnytheGamer yeah I wanna try to put me memory in it
forget everything this guy told you!,
buy a micro SD card and a adaptor for the psp, than mod your psp and download all the roms for free, than u dont need to carry them clunky UMD disks,
i got a psp e 1004 street white version, i add 2x 32 gig into a psp adaptor card, so now it has 64 gig or memory, than i followed the jailbreak tutorial her eon yourtube for my psp, and downloads 55 games for free and added those to my psp, now i got the ultimate handheld system!.
I had psp e 1000 and now i have psp 3000
Nice! it is a massive upgrade congrats!!
Twisted Metal for psp
I want to try that one out I love twisted metal, I don’t have it :(
PSP 3000 is best but I like the psp 1000
Tomorrow I’m buying a psp 3000 off a friend for $30 with 3 games
That’s an insanely good deal what a great friend! Congrats 🎉
Don't get me wrong, I love my psp. However I wouldn't buy one today. Just get an emulator and download whichever games you want
That's a great option! there are often games that I dont want to hunt down to play and they aren't easy to find and thats where emulators come in handy!
9:46 that hurt me bro
I don’t know why I left it in haha I sound so defensive
when he said he wanted to pickup the final fantasy game he pirated it :shrug:
Go psp 1000/2000/3000
Get a sd card to memory stick pro duo adapter instead. Not worth getting some shitty 4 gb card
What? 120 bucks? You just buy one for 50 with hack and here we go
