Slowly getting back into playing my collection lately since i have a little more freetime. I’m see there are so many consoles out there that can be modded to unlock certain features.
I recently modded my Xbox 360 and love not having to deal with my discs anymore and being able to see CPU and GPU temps to avoid damaging the sensitive GPU.
I also have a modded Wii and it’s the same situation. No need to deal with discs or worry if they have data rot. So much easier and less concern as my physical copies age.
I see the OG Switch can be modded and looking into that, seems like you can actually push it to do 60 FPS instead of the 30 it’s locked into when you buy one if you overclock it.
I’ve also heard the PSP and 3DS are awesome to mod, but don’t own them yet.
Simply modding it to have expanded storage is fantastic. I have a PSTV hooked up to my hanging room TV (basically like a firestick/chromecast) since it doesn’t need to sit on anything.
It kinda serves the same purpose as that PS1 Classic, except better in almost every way.

The PSVita is amazing modded, it has full support for running ps1 and psp games and psp home brew as well.
The vita home brew scene is also pretty crazy.
Simply modding it to have expanded storage is fantastic. I have a PSTV hooked up to my hanging room TV (basically like a firestick/chromecast) since it doesn’t need to sit on anything.
It kinda serves the same purpose as that PS1 Classic, except better in almost every way.
Expanded storage is such a godsend for the Vita.
Fuck those stupid memory cards lol
