Get a Switch. PSP can't emulate 4th or 5th gens properly.

>>6538793
PCH-1000 series

I have a PSP, and to be fair, a Vita, a 3DS and a Switch are better options to emulate shit. If you wanna stick with the perfect emulation of ps1 games on the psp, then go for a hackeable Vita.

I own a hacked Switch, a hacked PSTV, a hacked 3DS and a hacked PSP, and I haven't touched my PSP in years.

>>6538831
>I own a hacked Switch
How did you hack it and how can you tell what version you got?

>>6538838
you need one of those olders models, you should check /hbg/ on /vg/ for more info.

>>6538841
Ok I will, thank you.

>>6538831
>perfect emulation of ps1 games on the psp and vita
PSP and Vita owners actually believe this.

>>6538852
to be fair, it's not emulation. It's literally the PS1 hardware on the Vita/PSP, so you are actually not emulating anything.

I ended up buying a pspgo and regret it, thing is too small for my hands

>>6538875
Lose the weight fatty.

My battery doesn't work no more in my PSP and they don't make official new ones

Should I just buy a chink one off of Amazon?
Or should I try old new stock from ebay?

>>6538915
I found a few really good third party ones at a local computer store. KMD I think? Stay away from the nameless ones.

>>6538926
Thanks dude, I'll look into that brand

>>6538915
Old stock batteries will also suck, batteries don't just retain their usable lifespan sitting around in a warehouse. They've been making replacements for years, just get a chink one.

>>6538793
Never was chum

>>6538793
Mine has started dying, every now and then the screen brightness spazzes out and the screen goes blank. It has tumbled across roads at high speeds more than a few times so I'm not too surprised, X button requires more force than normal to function too.

There's one of these threads almost every day. RG350 is the best bang for your buck. Stick placement isn't actually a problem as everyone who hasn't used it says it's fucking great and the battery lasts 5 hours+. But I get called a shill for saying it.

>>6539054
I figured this was the case
Glad I didn't buy one of those yet

>>6538897
t. Hobbit hands

>>6539158
Lose the weight fatty.

>>6539158
How do meatslab hands fix electronics or even tie shoelaces. I don't get it.

I'd say get an Odroid Go Advance but the fucking things sell out the moment they go up

>>6539169
There is an identical chink clone but...
Youd be giving money to xi-kun

If you specifically want to be able to play PS1 games with little to no fuss, just get a PSP, or a Vita if you can afford it.

Otherwise no, pretty much anything else can do everything else much, much better. The PSP has absolute shittons of support just from being THE first emulation handheld but we've done all there is to do with 15 year old hardware, emulators on it aren't perfect and they haven't been getting better on it anymore in years.

>>6538793
If you just want to play some games on the go, then yes, between its own games and the PS1s you'll have more than enough.
If it's somehow your only gaming device, and you care about whether it can accurately emulate your snezz games, then no. But if you do, you probably shouldn't be looking for a handheld -this is a segment where the Vita is still held by many as the pinnacle, even though it's like a million years old now; and don't believe anyone who claims the Soitch is viable alternative to anything.
In regards to which model to pick, you should look it up on wikipedia or somewhere else. The biggest difference is in the d-pad and what it can hook up to, like a TV or a controller. I'd suggest getting a later revision, though you'd probably still need to look it up to know how to tell them apart. But look for the speaker ports to be above the buttons instead of along the lower edge of the screen, and you'll know you have at least a PSP 2K, and if it also has a microphone port to the left of the PSP logo, you've got a PSP 3K.

>>6538810
only early models are hackable if i remember right, so thats gonna be second hand only, and no one wants to touch your dirty shit

>>6539476
Thanks for making plain exactly what differentiates between the two, fucknuts.
>and no one wants to touch your dirty shit
Always thinking of your mom's pussy, I see.

>>6538793
The PSVita is a better all around device with a bigger oled screen on the 1000 model. While it has a lot of native emulation and neat projects going for it already there is also a homebrew app called "adrenaline" that breaks out of the confines of the internal psp emulator and drops you into a filled featured psp cfw on the vita. Also a hacked Vita will let you use a microsd in those Amazon adapters instead of
Sony's special sauce bullshit cards.

Really the Vita's biggest problem is how price gouged they currently are used, the bastards. At least a psp 1000 is still $30, then all you need is one of those microsd adapters and you're in business.

>>6539492
honestly my biggest boner with the vita resides in its ability to play Doom and Quake with custom maps and all

I want one so bad but I'm also saving for a new PC

Has anyone made a chart or something for portable emulation? We have these threads daily.

>>6539531
fucking things cost 500 dollars on amazon

>>6539546
Bullshit

>>6539476
All models are hackable retard.
Unless you are a poorfag you can buy a sx modchip.

>>6539492
When I bought mine I couldn't find a psp in good condition that cost less than a vita. This country is absolutely loaded with psps. Somehow after it failed on the market they all ended up here and you would see kids with them everywhere. The easy piracy helped with that. But as a result of being owned by little Filipino kids they all look like they've been through a war or the seller wants something like $100 for it. Hard pass. My vita did cost around that much and it was beat the fuck up as well. If I wanted one in nice condition I would have paid a lot more. The one I got was a 3g model from NTT Docomo. I wouldn't be surprised if the person I bought it from wasn't even the second owner. That unit has been through some shit since leaving Japan. Some minor repair work and it's been great for me. I am considering replacing the screen since they're cheap. The oled in it now has burn in and tons of scratches. I just haven't heard if those cheap replacements are actually legit oleds. Maybe it's dumb to think they're not but I'd like to hear more about them before I waste my money and my time.

>>6539553
okay more around the 400 dollar mark

>>6539546
Consider importing one from Japan. They are region free.

>>6539557
You can't really see the burn in when the screen is on and lit up brightly but it's especially noticeable when playing emulators because of the black bars.

>>6539557
You can't really see the burn in when the screen is on and lit up brightly but it's especially noticeable when playing emulators because of the black bars.

>>6539589
If you feel the need to replace the screen note that it comes in one big faceplate piece. You can get them of AliExpress relatively easily

>>6539708
Yeah I've seen them on the local equivalent websites for around $20. I watched a video where someone replaced the back plate as well. Even though mine is scratched to hell I'm more hesitant to replace that. The issues with it are only cosmetic and the touch sensor on it works just fine.

>>6538793
I miss the psp..

How do you guys feel about the open source chinese portable emulators? Are any of them worth it?
They seem a lot cheaper than a vita

>>6539726
The build quality is shittier and it will be harder to find replacement parts for them. Something more reputable like the Odroid Go Advance might suit you better or even those Raspberry Pi shells.

>>6539735
Thanks I’ll check that out

>>6539735
I was looking at the RG350M and was strongly considering getting that. It’s kinda expensive for a retro emulator but the build quality is supposed to be good, and it has 4 shoulder buttons and dual analogs.
The only thing that’s stopping me is it will never have good N64 emulation

>>6539756
The original RG350 had serious issues including the power button just failing because it's only held in by solder. They made some improvements with the RG350M but it's a bit of a gamble going with those devices. If you want one be prepared to be able to fix it yourself.

>>6539562
The Amazon price is irrelevant, go find one in ebay, us region ones go for about $150 and Japanese ones go for about $100 + $20 shipping

>>6538793
Your phone with a controller or N3DS are better options. Vita is alright too. PSP was never great for emulation, just the best all around you could get at the time.

>>6540175
>that awful d pad
>goatse, now for phones

im using a DS lite for emulation; anyone want to convince me to buy something else? my main apprehension about buying a 3DS is the d-pad positioning. it's misaligned with the face buttons and looks super uncomfortable to use; i have little interest in portable 3D games so having a analogue stick isn't necessary, and probably would just get in the way

http://wololo.net/2020/06/22/psvita-graphene-releases-thread-optimizer-a-plugin-and-configuration-app-letting-you-modify-game-threads-to-use-the-4th-cpu-core-reserved-for-system-processes/

It's happening

>>6540330
Didn’t the creator already say this won’t help with homebrew?

>>6540338
Nope.
https://forum.devchroma.nl/index.php/topic,203.0.html

>>6540341
Huh, neat. Now I have no use for my N3DS outside of DS games.

>>6540320
DS is really bad for emulation, even NES emulators won't fit the screen and will have some issues.
If you want me to convince you to buy a 3DS, well, it has a perfect resolution for emulation, the screen has a subtle scanline effect that some people like (I don't find it noticeable at all tho, but I see what they mean), emulates tons of consoles up to PS1 pretty well, N64 emu seems to be under development, plays the totally non retro GBA natively and DS too. The dpad only feels uncomfortable on smaller versions to be honest. And don't forget to buy either a N3DS XL or a 2DS XL, their hardware is better.

>>6538841
I have an older model switch, but updated it like an idiot a couple of months ago. I might have to wait until there's a custom firmware update compatible with my latest version

>>6540403
Can't you just hack it again? It has a HW exploit

>>6540396
yeah i know its shit, but i already had a DS and an R4 card was $13 on ebay so what the hell. im pleasantly surprised with it honestly; gameboy color and gba ROMs work well on it too. my major gripes are with SNES and genesis emulation, because so many games are corrupted to hell (but still somewhat playable)
a used 2DS is $50 on ebay but honestly, with the dpad where it is, it's really hard to justify paying that much. im tempted to buy a chink handheld, but i know it'll probably be worse in most respects.
also, a used new 2DS XL is a bit out of my price range for something i'd really only use while travelling. that's why my DS lite is such a neat little setup; i already had it, and setting it up for emulation was a $13 affair

>>6540443
>im tempted to buy a chink handheld
don't. just don't.

>>6540408
I'm gonna have to look more into it after work. Trying to make it work without being banned from buying more games for it. I least want to get one more game (Skater XL) for it before I start hacking it. I don't have as much access to electricity like I used to, so playing emulators from the switch on handheld mode should do the trick.

>>6540450
>I don't have as much access to electricity
What a strange way of phrasing it.

>>6538915
battery mod for fun project and 10x battery life

>>6540443
Just wait until you can buy one those $99 Walmart "new" 2DS XLs.

>>6540330
>It’s happening
>RetroArch is single threaded
Nothing’s happening. Emulation has peaked on the Vita.

>>6541117
>Emulation has peaked on the Vita.
this is what you wish for chink shilling faggot.

>>6541275
Calm down. I like my Vita, and I will never fall for the Chinkshit meme again. But the facts are RA won’t benefit from this new plugin, and aside from a port of Daedalus, no one is writing new emulators for the Vita. Emulation on the Vita is mediocre. It always will be. I’m just holding out for a Switch Lite softmod.

How's a white PSP go for 60€ shipped?

>>6542935
That’s a good deal

No handheld will be good until GameCube is playable on the go. Which my phone already does kek.

>>6543056
That's not retro.

>>6542961
Are those cheap chinese cables good enough for a tv output?

>>6543128
If that's what you're into look at getting a PSTV or even a PS3

>>6543134
I have an European crt (scart only) and I was planning to use a psp go through composite to play ps1 and snes. Is it a good idea? I have a pstv but at that point I use a pc if I need to hook it up to a modern TV / monitor

>>6538793
Any models is workable, but 1000 has only 32MB RAM and all others is 64MB.
All PSP screens is garbage:
-1000/2000 is just very old and shit by today.
-E1000 is the cheapest TN Sony had laying around.
-3000 is better than them but because of production technology has INTERLACING.
-Go is said to have best screen around, and Bluetooth for Dualshock3, and its dock-station allow you to use it like Switch.

>>6543164
If you don't want to use it as a portable device at all you could get something else and achieve better results. Raspberry pi, dualshock 3, and a solution to connect it via scart.

>>6543172
Go has the best screen. I consider Street's screen second best, it has no ghosting and interlacing. It lacks the warm colors of 3k/go. It has one problem of its own due to being cheap as fuck screen like you said but I still consider it better than 3k screens because holy shit that interlacing is terrible.

>>6543187
That's a first I heard praise for E1000, but I believe you.

>>6543180
I see, well then I'm going to use it as a portable device only

>>6543059
it is

>>6540481

>>6539554
>paying to pirate
come on now

>>6538793
For me it’s the 80$ slate 2DS.It’s ergonomic, Bubble2k plays snes and rom hacks perfect, VLC injector plays gba,gb,gbc and genesis, twilight plays DS. Plus the touch screen is nice for using emulator GUI.

>>6543836
2DS has shit emulation. Bubble2k is not perfect, it’s inaccurate and has a ton of compatibility issues, not to mention the random missed frames. It’s a mediocre solution, not that I’d expect someone who stretches retro games to 16:9 to understand.

NEW 2/3DS is the bare minimum for decent emulation. If you disagree you are either a retard or a NIGGER.

/vr/, help me! I can't stop downloading e-boots and ISO's that I'll never around to playing!

I picked up a cheap PSP 2000 a while back, but never used it much since it was pretty beat up. Anyone have any recommendations for a good replacement shell with buttons? I keep hearing a lot of the replacements are really bad.

>>6540481
What a disaster.

>>6540481
kek , I salute you

>>6538865
No, it really is emulation. Both the PSP and the Vita use an in-house emulator (POPS, which stands for PlayStation One Portable Station) to run PS1 games.

>>6543851

>>6539573
>westerners want to play japanese games but they aren't released outside japan
>sony region-locks non-japanese vitas

>>6544665
But uh they don't... Who gave you that information? Besides that it's easy enough to hack them. You can download pretty much any game from any region directly from Sony's CDN using nopaystation and run it on any Vita. If you want to do it on an older firmware so you don't need to launch the hack at boot every time you can use ref00d for games that require a newer firmware.

>>6544672
ref00d is deprecated. 0syscall6 is now recommended.

>>6543756
No, Gamecube is most certainly not retro. GTFO zoomer.

Enjoying Pokémon Blue on mGBA. When I was a kid I used to just level the fuck out of my starter then kick everyone's ass with it. Now I am trying to actually balance the levels of my Pokémon.

>>6544252
Just do some homework and check reviews. If you're really worried just replace the front half of the shell if you can get away with it. It was worth the purchase just for Burnout Legends, really

>>6544719
Zoomer's first console was either a PS3 or a 360, but nice try gatekeeper. I bet you are so retarded that your mental gymnastics allow you to think that a sixth gen console like the DC is retro but the other 3 of its generation aren't. Either way, you are a cuck or just retarded, maybe both.

>>6544789
Zoomers also started with PS2 and GameCube.

>>6544792
No, younger millennials did. Zoomers definitely started with gen 7/8.

what are the best android gamepads, or ideally android phones with a gamepad integrated to them?

>>6540450
Those old models are hackable no matter what firmware. Also, use emuNAND so you have two variations of firmware (modified and stock). That way you never have to worry about getting banned. Just don’t be dumb and go online with the modified partition.

>>6538810

>>6544806
Younger Millennials would have started with 4th, maybe 5th at the absolute latest

>>6545354
Xbox one bluetooth controller (make sure it's actually bluetooth, not all are) with a clip. If you want a more retro styled controller look at 8bitdo but not without reading complaints about them and how to mod them first.

>>6544789
why does every post you make have to be so full of anger and venom? who hurt you?

I've been fucking around which portable emulation for most of my adult life, and through all of the devices I've had, my favorite is what I'm using currently - Redmi Note 9s and a telescopic ipega controller. Got both for under $300.

My experience with portable emulation has been

>old htpcs
Nice and you can easily use modern emulators, but the performance is shit on anything above psx and you have to find one with decent keyboard/controls, which is hard

>psp
Good for modding and installing cfw. Screen is bad (every model, for different reasons) and the emulation is rather weak. Strong point is psx, but it lacks l2/r2. Snes emulation is shit, n64 is impossible, gba is lacking

>pandora
Weak in 2020, but has nice controls

>chink shit
Hit or miss, the rg350/m is the best and runs everything up to psx fine. Now runs mario 64 too. Older chinkshits like the rs97 (pictured in white) is fine for a kid, because it is very limited.

>nds
Has issues, but is good for nintendo consoles

>odroid console
>very good at emulation, but not ergonomic and lacks l2/r2 and other inputs

>vita
Best screen, but same issues as psp emulating stuff that's not psx

>android
Powerful, but the control options are shit because of all the input lag using bluetooth controls. Perfect for slow games, useless for fighter games or fast twitch.

>>6545761
>Same issues as PSP
No. It can run Nestopia UE, Genesis Plus GX and Gambatte full speed. That already puts it well above the PSP. SNES in GBA aren’t perfect on it either but it’s still leagues better than what the PSP has to offer.

>>6545761

Apparently controllers like Razer kishi that connect right into the USB C Port, don't have any lag. Haven't tried it personally yet, though

>>6544643
But is he right?

I remember mine, only had like 6 games. Enjoyed the hell out of it until it broke. I even looked forward to the Vita, but it was too damn expensive for me when it released.

>>6538838
you have to look on a website to check if your unit is patched or not based on your serial number. I would strongly advise that you check guides on gbatemp, that's where the scene is.

>>6538831
tfw no vita

>>6540481
Based

>>6545763
Just dropping by to say that Retroarch on PSP has become pretty usable with the latest releases. Quicknes, gambatte, and mednafen pce fast runs full speed and offers good up to date emulation alternatives for these consoles on PSP. Of course Vita Retroarch is leagues better than it's PSP counterpart.
Still I find it pretty hilarious that PSP retroarch performs better than old3DS retroarch most of the time. Gambatte doesn't even run well on old3DS.

>>6545943
Makes me wish I could pick up my vita and play right now. It's brighter than the surface of the sun though and it's too late at night.

Reminds me there are plug-ins to make the vita brighter. Why kind of crazy motherfucker looks at that screen and thinks it's not bright enough? Are they trying to go blind?

>>6545973
>>6545982
Vitabright plugin can make the screen bright as shit or make it at the same dimness as the dimness it gets on just before it goes to sleep.

>>6545668
Nope, that makes no sense. I was born in 93 and my first real console was the PS2, so were my friend's. I only got to play PS1 and SNES at all because I had an older brother.

>>6545730
I don't even post often, much less about gen wars. Stop projecting.

>>6545943
Sounds interesting. I’ll have to get around to replacing my Go’s battery.

Honestly, I'd still be using my PSP if the battery didn't fucking explode.
I discovered so many great games through emulation I'd probably never play otherwise...too bad the Vita never got PS2 support, it was the most logical step, imo.

>>6546087
Early Zoomer here, this checks out. Grew up with the wii in my living room. Most of my friends did as well.

Get a Vita, it's literally a powered up PSP ad it's all you could ever need.

>>6546308
Unless you want good 4th or 5th gen emulation. It’s ok for NES though. It’s pretty shit for most people’s needs however.

>>6545761
My rg350m should be arriving soon. I love my vita but SNES is garbage on it. If retroarch used more than one core this wouldn't be an issue. Want to hack my switch eventually but I still like online play and it still feels too risky atm, I tend to like to hack my consoles when I know I won't be banned and the "security" updates stop rolling in.

Also they just released this apparently, but the SNES scaling looks awful and blurry:
https://youtu.be/TFRsXnqVeg4

>>6546313
>>6546313
SNES and Genesis emulation in Retroarch is pretty good, the only things not running well are shit you won't play anyway. And why would you want N64 emulation when you have perfect PS1 emulation.

>>6546334
>And why would you want N64 emulation when you have perfect PS1 emulation.

Seriously, dude?

>>6538793
How about old thinkpad?

>>6546369
For every 10 good PS games there's one good N64 game, and all the worthwhile N64 games have already been ported to 3DS or are -almost- fully emulated on Vita. But why would you play N64 on a Vita anyways if you have a PC?
If you're on the go and have a hacked Vita, chances are you have a bazillion better choices than emulating N64 anyway.

>>6546524
Not portable enough, though I use mine for retro tbs games
All my console roms I played them with my phobe and a gamepad

I wish the shield handheld was produced for a longer time / wasn't memed to shit in its used price

>>6538793

>>6540481
You fucking butcher what are you doing there are way simpler and more aesthetic battery mods out there.

>>6538793
Vita oled for playing everything sony (psp, ps1, and vita games if you’re a weeb), N3DSXL for everything Nintendo (including ds with a cart), switch for anything you want to play on the big screen. I keep the SP 101 around because it’s such a great design and I love clamshells.

>>6547439
I think the PS Vita can play some gamecube games.

>>6547474
You serious? It absolutely can't.

>>6547598
>what is homebrew and CFW

>>6547602
Yes, I have a hacked vita, and that's complete bullshit. Even if someone did put Dolphin on it everything would run at unplayable framerates (if even being bootable at all).
The damn thing can't even play SNES perfectly, let alone run Dreamcast or N64 well. What makes you think it can run Gamecube games?

>>6547615
Okay then. Eyestand corrected. I know that it can play PS1 just fine. Snes, however, I believe it can run well but it depends on the game. Most games that use enhancement chips are a no-go to meh sort of thing.

>>6538793
Vita and 3DS

How about the GDP win 2, Coolboy RS-97 with CFW, Samsung, Asus and Verizon tablets, and the anbernic?

>>6547650
Can vouch for the anbernic rg350m, it's really nice.

>>6547145
Ok, that's rad but what is it good for besides zork and that drug cartel game?

>>6538793
>is a 17 year old proprietary console the best way
take a guess
>>6538831
The 3DS is even more underpowered than the PSP. And only emulates a few systems

>>6538875
t. ''Big Boy''

>>6547108
Even MEME Win is better than Shield

finally got the go, absolutely gorgeous (except for nes games, the vita is better there because of the scaling for some reasons)

>>6540481
you are an animal

CPS1PSP, CPS2PSP and MVSPSP used to run like fucking magic on that thing.
I loved Arcade games, so playing them on the go was just perfect.

>>6547474
It's a fucking Vita, it has similar hardware to an almost decade old tablet. It absolutely can't do GC, N64 emulation is barely possible even with one of the shittiest emulators out there.

>>6547851
>The 3DS is even more underpowered than the PSP
No, it's not. PSP struggles with SNES lmao

>>6549195
Just like the original 3ds

>>6539326
>from being THE first emulation handheld
Uhh, no, that would be the gp32

>>6547628
>I know that it can play PS1 just fine
Uh oh! Looks like you don't know anything.

>>6549209
No one even remembers that roided our calculator.

>>6543904
Here's my personal Japanese ps1 eboots. Most of the games are playable without having to know moon runes.

>>6544748
What Mon in your team?

>>6538793
The best handheld is definitely the gpd win. It runs psx and 64 just as good as low end laptop. I even play Morrowind and new Vegas on it with mods. The only problem is the battery, which I'm pretty sure there is a battery mod for it.

>>6549206
Not really, the original 3ds can run SNES at full speed in most games outside the ones with special chips (Yoshi's island runs at 50 something fps, so emulating the PAL version is viable, F-Zero runs flawlessly). This using Snes9x 1.43 base without hacks, which is much more accurate than anything PSP ever had. Hell, PSP struggled even with SMW sometimes.

>>6549265
I do...

>>6549328
Of course, just like the PSP used to run PS1 games name natively, so did the 3DS with SNES games.
That's not emulation, but backward compatibility.

>>6549421
Only the New 3DS has “native” SNES support, but it’s still emulation.

>>6549421
What the hell are you talking about? 3DS is only backwards compatible with DS since it has a ARM9 CPU, which the DS also has. GBA is also compatible due a VC that was used in very rare launch units that utilized the ARM9 CPU with ARM7 registers, running GBA code natively. PSP - PS1 compatibility is similar, they both have a MIPS CPU, so PSP can run some code natively, and emulate incompatible hardware, like the GPU. SNES is ran purely through emulation on both consoles.

>>6549328
Can the 3DS run PS1 games?

>>6549575
N3DS? Yes. O3DS can only run very light titles.

>>6549665
Not accurate. The N3DS only runs a handful of light titles at full speed, O3DS can run nearly nothing.

>>6549575
Yes, it's not great tho. Grab Turismo and Tekken 3 lag, Crash 1/2 is great, Castlevania is perfect. Didn't try many games. New 3DS by the way.

>>6549421
Are you the same retard who claimed some weeks ago that the PSP ran PSX games natively, was proven wrong, but still insisted on it because some 12 year old ledditor wrote that so it must be the truth?

>>6547628
>I know that it can play PS1 just fine.
I dunno about that, many 3d psx games I tried on the PSP run at lower framerates than on the rela hardware
The Vita also uses the same PSP CPU for emulating PSX

>>6538793
No it isn't. In fact, just get out of gaming. No one likes you, and your threads are the same old tired shit. Take the hint, no one wants to talk to you.

>>6550270
You ok bro?

I wish the PSP or Vita could actually play PS1 with no problems.

>>6550492
The PSP can if you get Eboot conversions.

>>6550572
>get Eboot conversions
Just make them yourself from Redump.

>>6540481
how the hell do you hold that thing without getting a shock?!

>>6539554
the install process on it is crazy. cheaper just to buy an older model than to get someone to install one to a new model.

>>6538852
it's not perfect but the convenience of having all the games stored digitally is worth any minor graphical glitches (not that i've experienced any).

>>6539557
i picked a 2000 up for £50. sold the game it came with (COD) and the 8gb card on ebay and made back half my money.
then spent it on an SD2VITA and 64gb SD.

>>6550572
Not really.

>>6543191
i had a 1000 and then an e1000. i also held a friends 2000. the 2000 felt like a cheap toy, but the button layout was much better than the 1000. the e1000 on the other hand is chunky, feels solid and carries over the improved button layout.

i have a vita 2k so i don't use it anymore but its a great option.

>>6546087
everyone i know started on PS2/Gamecube/Xbox despite being born in 98/99. i also had a GBA and then SP.
i had a 360, ds and wii later on, granted but i also have a vita, new 3ds and switch lite.

>>6550492
the vita has the rear touchpads to replace l2 and r2.
the process of installing is the same as modded psp once you install adrenaline. you have to grab eboots (or make them yourself) but its not difficult either way.

>>6550492
there's no problem

>>6551212
Actually there is. Some games have audio issues, others have minor graphics issues or slowdowns, some even crash randomly. But it works most of the time.

>>6551212
Stupid faggot.

>>6551643
name them
>>6551739
stop shilling chink shit

>>6546127
To be honest the Wii is not a terrible system to grow up one. Wii Sports alone is an important life experience IMO

>>6551643
Yeah, there are some. I always fixed every problem by either using the PS Store version of the eboot (if available) or trying a different POPS version using Popsloader(?).

>>6538793
>portable emulation
small tablet + ps4 controller is best, is it that important that the buttons are on the device?

>>6552008
This. Just put the tablet on your lap or whatever.

>>6551813

>>6552015

>>6545943
they are STILL developing retroarch for the PSP?

>>6551762
I don't need to, there are compatibility lists around.

>>6552065
Yes. They are even doing it for PS2.

I play ps1 games on my psp all day. I have yet to encounter any issues with any game except Shadow Tower but I had the same issue on ps3.

>>6538793
So i have a vita on 3.55 fw. is it worth it to upgrade to the latest fw or the closest fw to install cfw?

>>6552578
No update to 3.60 instead. If you use a firmware newer than that you need to run the hack again every time you reboot it. Follow this guide https://vita.hacks.guide/

>>6552294
>shadow tower
it played fine for me, maybe try changing the pops version?

>>6552578
Install 3.65. It is better than 3.60 and easier to permanently mod.

>>6552609
Bad advice lol he'd need to downgrade back to 3.60 again to get henkaku. It's pointless to run it now that we can run vita games that require higher fws.

>>6552617
Fuck you talking about? I have Henkaku on my 3.65. I also didn’t have to jump through hoops to get it activated without a PSN account attached.

>>6552620
You don't need to do that with 3.60 either and basically nobody recommends you do 3.65 now for various reasons.

Some actual good advice on this subject from plebbit. Hacking a vita on 3.60 is easy and there's nothing to do with PSN. Just open your browser and run the hack from it.

>>6552617
thats my main concern running games that require newer fw how would you do that on 3.60?

>>6552664
If you follow the guide on that site it tells you how to install a plugin that takes care of that.

>>6544634
It's a hybrid sort of emulation. The PSP CPU is running the MIPS code natively.

>>6552672
So... it’s emulation then. And bad emulation at that, considering it does a worse job than the newest versions of the current open source PS emulators.

>>6552715
Lol imagine being this dumb

>>6552008
>is it that important that the buttons are on the device?
For me it is, since the purpose of a handheld is something you Held with your Hands.

>>6552672
Only the CPU is virtualized, everything else is emulated, which is why it's not perfect.

>>6552739
Also the emulator is proprietary and hasn't been updated in years. That doesn't mean it's shit though. Trying to compare it with modern emulators like >>6552715 is doing is dumb. The modern ones have a different goal accomplished in a different way.

Saitake 7007X, I have one and it's great.

>>6552725
Lol imagine playing an outdated emulator full of glitches because muh handheld

>>6552765
>full of glitches
Haven't noticed any on the games I want to play. But go on spread your FUD.

The PSP was originally launched in Japan in December of 2004. Back then we didn't have all the fancy shit we do now. Emulating a PS1 on your phone was still pretty far off in the future. They accomplished what they did in a way that made the most sense for that time period. We wouldn't still be using it today if it wasn't that good. The emulators of today aren't perfect either but they are in active development. You can't run those on a nice device designed by Sony that's actually made for gaming though. You're stuck with a phone with a clip, or tethered to a PC, or worse running them on chinkshit that's going to break down. When faced with that or having minor compatibility issues with some title and possibly needing to troubleshoot I take my chances. I know you already know all of this and are just trying to stir the pot by spreading FUD but it still needs to be said.

>>6552759
>Fortnite
>asymmetric analogs
yikes

>>6552821
I really appreciate the PSP, for $40 the versatility of a 1000 with a microsd adapter really can't be beat. It's nuts how much more expensive other variants are besides the go which is actually rate, which sucks because the screen ghosting on mine bothers me. Still it will hold me over until the Vita goes back down to $80 and I can use whatever native stuff it has + adrenaline.

>>6552892
I live in the Philippines where the PSP was a massive success right after it died. For whatever reason used ones got dumped here en masse and you would see kids everywhere playing them, obviously hacked. When I went to buy one in 2018 I had a hard time finding one that was in good condition and also cheap. People wanted the same kind of money you would pay for a vita for a PSP in good condition. The cheap ones looked like they had been through hell. So I ended up with a beat up Vita that's in pretty sorry condition. Still worth it for the beautiful OLED screen.

>>6552769
>i zoomed on my jrpgs and my retarded self didn't notice anything so trust me

>>6552914
>FUD without citations

>>6552668
So i followed the guide and it said to delete the Tai folder from ux0 and then it tells me to go to ur0 an copy the config.txt from the tai folder over to the tai folder. help me pls

>>6538793
The PSP is trash. The fucking power button sits right under where your right hand rests so you constantly put the system into rest mode or completely shut the damn thing off by accident. (Seriously, who designed this !?) It also has no dual analog sticks so some PS1 games are just unplayable. And the screen gives off so much unfiltered light even on the lowest setting that if you play it for more than two or three hours in the dark you'll get a painful migraine headache the next morning. Fuck that system.

>>6552668

Yeah you need to put that file in there and all those plugins too. Either using a FTP client or USB mode in vitashell.

fuck bro IT says DELETE TAI FOLDER so i did it didn't say save config.txt then delete tai folder then copy that over to ur0. how fucked am I

>>6553067
You should be fine as long as you use the config.txt they give you on the site

Any proof that old hardware with outdated emulators emulates perfectly? Or are you just a Sony shill?

Did I ever deny that? Let's circle back to one of my earlier posts >>6552906 Feel free to move the goalposts as far as you like. Stretch them so wide you put the goatse man to shame. I don't give a fuck. Just don't lie about what I said. Nowhere did I claim the PSP is a perfect 5th gen (show me the post where I said it has perfect Sega Saturn emulation, that would be hilarious) or 4th gen emulation like your lying retarded ass claimed. You're a lying ass sack of shit. All your posts are discredited because you're a liar. Eat my asshole.

>>6553118
>sperging out over outdated emulation
You only emulate SNES with ZSNES, right? Because that was the best way to emulate it in 2002 in the philippenis so anything else is FUD. What's your fascination with wide buttholes? Seems like a lot of projecting and coping from a country that barely has internet access.

>>6553141

>i don't have any proof but you pointing out the obvious is FUD! please go away!

>>6553147
How so? Feel free to tell me what's wrong with my post. Cite examples of games that can't be emulated on a PSP or Vita that you consider to be essential. Or just make some more shit up and do more /v/ style posts. By the way the Amiga 500 is a piece of shit.

SNES was the best console of all time due to it's extensive library of JRPGs.

My Little Pony is a show that's only made for young female children. If you are sexually aroused by it you are a homosexual.

>>6553204
Platformers were everywhere though. They were hardly something that made any specific machine special.

>>6545761
They added l2 and r2 to the Odroid Go Advance Black Edition. They're pretty small though.

I got one a few weeks ago and I've been enjoying it so far. I sent my old LDK Horizontal to my friend.

>>6545761
what about using one of these microUSB to USB cables then plugging a normal controller on an android?
hell, how about just a micro-usb controller?

>>6553469
If you want a shitty experience there's nothing stopping you from using one of those OTG adapters with a 360 or PS3 controller.

>>6552985
>you constantly put the system into rest mode or completely shut the damn thing off by accident.
Lose the weight fatty.

>>6545761
Vulkan drivers are pretty key to getting anything Dreamcast, N64 and PSX and above emulated at full speed but there are so few devices that support it on Android. And generally, if it can run on Linux, it does run better. Problem with Linux is besides Nvidia and some SBCs, there are no working drivers on Linux. Panfrost isn't working well enough for Mali GPUs yet and Vulkan support is still long off. Generally though, anything around the level of a Switch or Snapdragon 835 is enough to run anything this board allows discussion on as of now.

>>6545764
Anything that uses the USB will be good pretty much latency-wise, the Android or Linux drivers for controllers are solid and most of them follow Xinput which is an industry standard.

>>6552609

Literally better than any proprietary console with their broken emulators by a long margin.

is this any good?

>>6554291

Found a black psp2000 in storage and put Infinity on it. I've heard that performance on the emulators differ between builds. Any based anon that would be able to link "best" builds of SNES and GBA emus?

>>6554462
tempgba-mod for gba and https://github.com/esmjanus/snes9xTYL/releases is for snes.

>>6554478
Thanks a lot. How's Picodrive on PSP if I'm mostly looking to play Sonic and Phantasy Star?

>>6554486
It will serve your needs perfectly. Get 1.51b version, the latest updated version was abandoned by its dev and introduced some performance problems that weren't on 1.51b and wasn't fixed due to the abandonment.
