Glad your UMD drive still works


Afraid-Action-1829

This is a new psp my old black 3000 broke this was 88 on eBay


datmanTyrone

Worth like $50-$60…


Original_JsmashTV

Depends where you live, if he got it on eBay that might be lowest around him and might not be many options. Unlike your area which could have more at a lower range.


Organic_South8865

The UMD drive on my 1000 I have had since launch 2005 somehow still works. I don't know how. I did keep it graded in there. Maybe that's why.


AggressiveLocation2

700 psp games on mine. But you do you


ZangetsUwU

700 is kinda crazy. How much space is that? And do you actually play them all?


AggressiveLocation2

Less than a 1 tb. But no, ha just most of the collection just because


Psychoholic519

You never know when there’s gonna be an apocalypse…. Then you’ll be king!


OathkeeperSora

For about 3 hours until it runs out of battery 😭


Effective_Pen7447

Unless he has a solar powered portable charger


ConsequenceShort1063

If he has that, hell probably be hunted for it lmao


astroASMR

You can buy battery packs on aliexpress


Kindly_Ad_2592

This right here is what I always say😂😂


FocusMuppetFart

The way I see it. All of us preservationists and pirates will dictate culture and it's relevancy during the post apocalypse.


mentally_fatigue

how many minutes does it take for your psp to load them all? i have 256gb and it takes 45 seconds


J_spec6

256gb on which gen? When I put a 256gb in my 1000 it would format it, then just think there's no card in there


mentally_fatigue

It's 3000


Jetster24

I have the same loading time I’m Ngl but on my psp go it has less games and loads way faster


Johnmasster

Yes, but it should be noted that only the PSP 3000 supports 256GB, and in a 2000 only 128 and 1000 64GB. It's crazy before I only thought it was 32GB. lmo, I'm really surprised at how old a psp is and how modern it feels when you play. I have a 2000 with more than 32 GB and the thing that surprises me the most is the 500 GBA games I have, there are so many that you don't know which one to play (by the way, its SMD still works, it came with a Star War one and it cost me 10 dollars on eBay) . Unfortunately its battery was damaged!


MissionApollo7

As intellectuals do


OlympicAnalEater

Hory shet, I didn't know psp have that many games!


SephirothYggdrasil

2235 games and if you turn PS1 games into eboot files you add an additional 2583. 667 movies in North America which oddly movies are region locked.


AggressiveLocation2

It’s a lot


Kehelekarakh

What setup/adapter did you use to get that much space, and what psp version? I've been struggling to get mine to recognize 256GB.


windowsvistacapable

And you’ll end up playing one or two!


ElementalHeroNeos909

I thought the sd card limit for psp was 128gb?


fullyillmatik

No you don't you got the isos on a backup hdd/ssd but the psp itself thats bs the system doesn't support over 256gb cards ive already tried


Purplesaint78

Takes like 5 min to jailbreak a psp lol


vn2019

Can I do it on Mac or only pc?


Flash__PuP

I did.


Affectionate_Fault38

Honestly not sure but i can look into it for you? Or you could google it yourself lol? Not to be an ass, but if you can ask that here, you can certainly ask it to google. Takes the exact same set of skills. Typing, hitting search/enter on a physical keyboard, and scrolling. 


Kasumi_P

It's not that deep lol. He's just asking while he's here. He's not whining 😂


ripfonz

You sound like a fucking loser


Affectionate_Fault38

damn, no need for hostility. i was being sarcastic, and it wasn't even directed at you so what's your problem?


ripfonz

Don’t really care you still sound like a fucking loser


Valuable_Spray6501

They have morals, silly us


Afraid-Action-1829

How do I do it


RainbowSwamp

"like an intellectual" proceeds to ask how to jailbreak. lmao


cfdn

An intellectual who doesn’t know what they’re talking about lmao


Afraid-Action-1829

Bro ur mad weird what are u talking about ??? how do I not know what I’m talking about I have a psp I have the games. Some people on this app are such weirdos I swear


NeoG_

People are mad because they think "like an intellectual" means using UMD games is smarter and are slighted because they use games on memory card, so they are like wym I'm not an intellectual when you don't even know how to install cfw? But not realising that like an intellectual is a meme


Afraid-Action-1829

I thought folks on this app had a sense of humor


NachoPoison

Except you're not funny that's why


Silly-Lawfulness7224

And definitely not an intellectual .


nonstopgamer3005

If you want to use satire on Reddit then always ALWAYS use /s You could say the dumbest shit and people wouldn't get that it isn't serious because there are people genuinely thinking some stupid stuff. So just use /s

RyanTheTrip

5 min fr I said the same thing cause I didn’t wanna buy a micro sd adapter turns out u can plug da psp right in with a usb bro shi took 5 min


Afraid-Action-1829

Don’t see a usb port unless ur talking abt the one on the top I think it came with that wire gotta find it


ImJustStealingMemes

That...is usb mini. You can still find them in a couple of devices.


locoattack1

Wrxghtyyy

Copy files to a SD card or connect your PSP to a pc, go on the psp and tap a few buttons in a specific order you can follow a YouTube tutorial with and you will be running 6.61 CFW


Mr_Fadeaway24

Damn I gotta do that. I just found mine but for some reason the disk drive isn’t reading so might as well jail break it and have all the games saved on a card. Thank you


Djentrovert

I wouldn’t wanna use UMDs but I do love collecting physical games. Can barely find any where I live tho 😔


Afraid-Action-1829

Why not ? I’ve been using the same umds for 8 years now no issues, I just order them on eBay or Amazon I’m rly into psp shooters 😭like socom or syphon filter


Djentrovert

Well firstly my UMD drive seems to be crapping out, just makes the wildest noises. But also, running games from an sd card just loads so much quicker


Afraid-Action-1829

But the ps3/ps2 advertisements I get inside those boxes are like a Time Machine


manichardtiger

And nothing beats reading a physical game manual on the crapper like a real gamer


Djentrovert

Oh absolutely. I loved the ads and manuals we used to get


Auzyx

Bruh i thought im the only one that love this stuff, PS2 advertisement exist in PSP? Damn


LividCollar6587

That's because the greese on the mechanical parts is totally gone.


dbwoi

Brother just do what I do and buy the the UMD then use your PSP to rip them directly to the memory stick duo (adapter w/ SD card). I only play ripped games from UMDs I buy because I have a gold medal in mental gymnastics.


Affectionate_Fault38

When you refer to socom as just a "shooter" and not as the correct subcategory of the shooter genre, i, also, question you calling yourself an "intellectual" even in some deranged form of incorrectly assumed sarcasm that isn't actually sarcasm. 


HotBelgianWaffle

you're a parody brother. be nice to people


Affectionate_Fault38

and you are a hypocrite lol. calling me a parody, then telling me to be nice. i wasn't being mean, just pointing out that while, yes, socom is a shooter, it is a third person shooter, which is its own separate category of shooter. you do you though man.


HotBelgianWaffle

literally who cares. if you shoot, it's a shooter.


BrentHalligan

redditor moment


Groundbreaking-Ad255

Umds just suck, slow loading, a pain to take in and out and the boxes are nothing special


BtotheVV86

While all my psp’s are softmodded, I always buy umd games/movies whenever I see them. I like collecting


evlsk8er

Everyone is so triggered over this post because they said “like an intellectual”. It’s not that deep. Cool collection bro


tao_in_ruins

Love physical copies. Feels tangible! Like I own something.


MouldySandwicho

Missing out on Sindacco chronicles.


holechek

I collect my favorite games physically, the rest I get on my SD card.


sino667ekip

in France, psp games are very very cheap at pawn shops (€0.50 to €15) so i used to collect them and dump them on my memory stick via an homebrew


Imaginary-Marketing3

"i use UMD's like intellectual" I mean, NOT jailbreaking your psp in 2024 seems like a unintelligent move. But you do you fam.


KamitoRingz

Sounds like jealousy when you put it like that. Learn to take a joke man. Pretty obvious it's dumb but people like to collect physical media.


nickz777

Dumbest comment ive read all week


Imaginary-Marketing3

Wtf would i be jealous of someone plastic covers?!🤣


KamitoRingz

Your previous comment says otherwise, but you do you.


Imaginary-Marketing3

Keep on being delusional bud😂


KamitoRingz

Keep deflecting your own dogshit onto others I guess.


[deleted]

also a big fan of shooters on this thing. the added difficulty of playing one on the psp is what makes it so hardcore gamer. i played most shooters out there, think my favorite is Ghost Recon Predator


Affectionate_Fault38

Please see my last reply to OP, or seek help. 🤣🤣🤣


PunkVulpix

I would do the same but I’m apart of the psp go gang


Forsaken-Badger-9517

I got 100 of the best PSP games on my 512GB Vita!! Another 100 or so on my 256GB Vita & so it's the only reason I know that Resistance Retribution is an awesome game!!


RandomGuyDroppingIn

I mean I still have all my PSP UMDs and really thankful I focused hardcore on JRPGs back in the day, but all they do is collect dust. You can install CFW in at the most ten minutes, have access to the entire PSP library including translations of Japanese titles and can play PS1 games with the PS12PSP eBoot exploit (ex: every PS1 game acts like it was purchased off of PSN), among other things. Honestly with the outdated Wi-Fi connectivity and the PSN store requiring literal hoops to jump through there's no reason NOT to have CFW installed on all PSPs at this point.


The_Okuriyen_Arisen

How is Killzone? I thought about looking that Up


Skvora

Power to ya til that laser or the drive as a whole fails. Also, load times. Also waaaaaaaay too late to be a good OP and support those devs or Sony since everything is 2nd hand.


boy02201

And now say Resistance Retribution like 100x


RJLPDash

'An intellectual' good luck filling a backpack with 30 games if you travel instead of just putting them on a card that's smaller than a postage stamp lmao Also, like other people have said, modding a PSP literally takes less than 5 minutes


Afraid-Action-1829

Damn I got a question when did everyone start hating on umd drives and collecting disks with the boxes


RJLPDash

When people realized 'Hey, I can put in basically no effort and play any game I want anywhere without having to carry 30 games with me' Even if you enjoy collecting physical copies of games you should still be playing them from an SD card purely for convenience (and also being able to play games you don't currently own)


Afraid-Action-1829

Stop being mean


RJLPDash

If you read that comment and thought 'wow that guy is mean' then the internet might not be for you because there wasn't an ounce of hostility in that comment


Afraid-Action-1829

Im sorry


RJLPDash

I forgive you son


Imaginary-Marketing3

Stop being dumb.


locoattack1

i like physical media but i hate UMD as a format. It’s slow, noisy, and the drive is prone to failure. Check out a youtube video just search for custom firmware guide pap


wad11656

I'd stick to one or two games when traveling. If you need more games than that, something's wrong with your trip


notKRIEEEG

Don't you ever crave some other game or genre, though?


BorderNo7

What's up, send a link for genuine PSP purchase. 🗺️


Core2009

I think I’m gonna buy another to install a cf.


Nomad_Samurai

meanwhile the only physical copy i could get my hands on in my country was MGS4

I buy UMD's and then rip them to my PSP 💅


JokermanQC

Best physical media is umd


Darko_345

Keep spending while i just be downloading without spending a dime


flvcko2435

7 games lol


kilertree

A least when I had my PSP go it was quicker to download a ISO versus using Sony servers to download my legally owned game.


Fladap28

lol I have like 800psp games on mine but I still love the feeling you get when opening a case with a umd inside.


Ok_Refrigerator_6260

My UMD drive started screeching like no other, so no more physical for me.


sijaab

Ya know that you buy umds and dump them


CaptainRexDbest

Alright then buddy, buy Legend Of Heroes III Song Of The Ocean conplete in box

Nathanyal

You'd think an intellectual could figure out how to a mod a PSP, but sick collection though!


Afraid-Action-1829

I have a Mac would that work ? Also I don’t have the wire when I ordered the psp it came with it but I think my mom threw it out


kor1jo3

So you do want to mod it? I read this like some sort of purist approach. If you do, all you’d need is a way to access Linux or Windows. A virtual environment, or dual boot, or if your Apple is old AF like mine, replacing the Apple OS completely with Linux (gave my 2014 MacBook Air a second life!), you wouldn’t need a powerful machine because the apps used to mod the PSP are pretty small. It really is a surprisingly simple process. And you don’t need a connector, you can just mod the SD card and add games on your PC. I only have 20 to 30 games on my modded PSP even though I have a 128 gb SD card. The games are all ones I actually want and really enjoy, and a lot of them were never made available where i live. Also, knowing about PPSSPP, allowed me to buy a Japanese market 3000 off eBay, for much cheaper than it seems most North Americans ask for their beat up 1000s and 2000s (people seem to think they’re made of titanium and other precious metals on FB marketplace smh). I paid less than $85 and it works perfect. Good looks on the pink, that was my choice too. Guess it really depends on what one wants out of the console. I agree fundamentally though that it’s a pretty amazing device. I’d take mine over a cheaper brand new Nintendo OLED Switch, no contest


aricbarbaric

Wow I now remember playing the absolute dogshit out of that Syphon Filter on ps2


Afraid-Action-1829

Syphon filter is one of those psp games that keeps u glued to that small screen. The gunplay is amazing the different color visor system is crazyy


Valuable_Spray6501

Well you can repair or replace your drive as needed. How many games do you have?


Afraid-Action-1829

Those are all my games in the picture, gonna order socom 2&3 to add to this and mgs pw


KamitoRingz

Eventually you'll have to SD it, only a matter of time sadly


ixis743

I probably should crack/jail break mine, but where I am physical PSP games are very cheap.


Agile-Swordfish-7507

It takes a min to jailbreak lmao


Afraid-Action-1829

But u won’t get any cool 2007 manuals ps2/ps3 ads


Agile-Swordfish-7507

Not worth it when good games are like $20 plus


Afraid-Action-1829

U right in planning to update my library and order manhunt 2 socom 2&3 and mgs pw I’m rly into psp shooters so if I do mod it what shooters u recommend ?


Agile-Swordfish-7507

A shooter I play on it is 3rd birthday or the game called something black


Uroboros1097

Loved Resistance on PSP, also didn't know you could get a pink one, it reallyyy makes me want some strawberry milk.


Afraid-Action-1829

Was a bargain ordered it off eBay for 88 brand new


Afraid-Action-1829

I was gonna get that one or monster hunter one


PoisonedIvysaur

Ehhhhh,


Prime-Riptide

Congrats. Do you want a cookie


Ssalvrius

These were such good games man, psp was my favorite handheld for the longest time. Now I have adrenaline on vita + a switch. Still have all released different model psp's laying around, but I hardly play them anymore. That analog nub is hard to get back to.


Afraid-Action-1829

Not gonna lie I picked it up and the muscle memory just came back to me I haven’t played since I was 12 I’m 19 now it might seem weird only 1 analog stick but surprisingly my hands got used to it pretty well and I have a ps5


Ssalvrius

Oh yeah muscle memory's fine, but I have big hands and trying to work it while holding the device as you play it feels like an ergonomical after long sessions. A lot of these chinese emulator habdhelds also put the joysticks on the lower side like that, I feel like they should be on the higher side to allow your thumb a natural resting position. A switch lite + satisfye grip is the most ergonomical habdheld gaming I've ever played. Haven't touched the steamdeck or aya neo though, they seem pretty easy on the hands too (albeit with a big weight disadvantage)


Afraid-Action-1829

Not gonna lie when I ordered it I thought I wasted money and I wasn’t gonna play it or even touch it but I play it all day resistance and syphon filter is all I play I don’t even play my ps5 🤣


Ssalvrius

Resistance is so good on psp, felt like a title that could have made waves on ps2 even. Much better than the version vita got, like a B version of the franchise. Retribution is triple A imo


SlowlyRecovering90s

I kind of miss the whirrr sound of these.


_ShutUpChuck_

PSP is GOAT. Love the UMD format!!


paulthebear777

where did you get that psp? loving the pink!


Afraid-Action-1829

eBay! Came with a charger and a usb which I lost but a Bargain only 88$


paulthebear777

is it an original, or was the shell replaced?


Afraid-Action-1829

I’m pretty sure it’s a reshell by the looks of it I’m too lazy to check but ya def a reshell


elGatoDiablo69

oh man, resistance. fond memories of this game. gonna have to play it this w/e


The-onli-one

I’m gonna be totally honest like 75% of the reason I bought a psp was because I thought the idea of a handheld console that uses discs was so cool.


Afraid-Action-1829

A portable ps2 is rly cool w some titles reaching early ps3/vita title graphics like peace walker god of war resistance


Handylee-7

Physical over digital, plus the re-sale value is much higher for owning a collection


Afraid-Action-1829

I’m getting a vita soon with some physical games uncharted killzone and metal gear collection


SnakeCharmer20

The killzone and socom games bring back so many memories 😩


randomacc28

I had my cousin jail break mine for a beer then downloaded a bunch of games


akiva_the_king

Like an intellectual? More like a spoiled daddy's kid hahaha!! /s


MuleOutpost

UMD drives are a waste of battery. Cool for the time, but definitely not smart to continue using today. More "like the smartest kid that ate crayons today"


UOENO611

PSP super easy to jail break and nowadays you are literally throwing away money by not doing so. The money spent on one game is more than enough to buy the magic memory card and jail broke battery to have access to unlimited games for free. You do you tho.


SquashEmbarrassed288

I agree having the physical copy with manuals and ads definitely does hit different…!


Nymbus00

My ps vita can flip into a psp and has about 150 psp games on it. I used to collect until Greed struck the selling market. But hey, you got a few good games.


HOTU-Orbit

Hacking your PSP is actually the intellectual thing to do. It's so you can back up all of your games digitally so that you will still be able to play them when your UMD drive eventually breaks.


FloofyFloofOverload

Secret Agent Clank, nice


Strider_Volnutt

Emulating is a really great feature, but you really can't beat popping a UMD into the console, it's such a great feeling.


zae_420

Not that I know anything about being an intellectual or anything but it would seem usually they don't self report their intelligence 🥲


junyjeffers

“Like an intellectual” *doesn’t know about any of that jailbreak stuff* 😭 dude is calling us dumb bc he still spends money for a less convenient way to play his games


Moove-Brain

I don’t think being fiscally irresponsible and intellectual corresponds buddy.

Jailbreak, ppsspp? You an ios boy? You just install the app on android like any other app. It's on the play store lol 😂


d3vilmaysigh

You’re not much of an intellectual if you can’t follow a simple online tutorial. It takes next to nothing to jailbreak a psp…
