It’s been a long year of articles for me. I’ve shared so many now, but as things wrap up and I’ve only got a handful more to share, this one’s a…minimal effort one.
If you know me well enough by now, you’ll know that the Sony PSP is one of my fav handhelds. Maybe not entirely for the library of games (they’ve aged in varying degrees of goodishness), but instead for how beautiful it is from a hardware design stance. It is such a nice looking device. Sleek, functional and industrial, in a very early 2000’s kinda way.
Anyway, to break up what I’ve been writing (in the next couple days I’ll be sharing both an interview with my friends who make PortMaster, and then a review on the trimui Smart Pro S), I thought I’d throw together a scrappy collection of videos and images of the Sony PSP.
Think of it as a giant gallery/scrapbook/collection of PSP images and clips :)
@PerfectDark I don’t know about “art” or whatever, lol. I did love the PSP to death for a long time though. While the NDS had more games, some of the stuff exclusive to the PSP was really amazing. (The way so many devs saw the NDS and 3DS as “mini” systems to make less full games on really hobbled some things sometimes. The NDS and 3DS had some truly amazing games in their time, but it’s sad how many with potential were brought down to a smaller game level just because they saw the platform as not serious. The PSP didn’t have that problem much.)
I only ever had a handful of games (and POPS conversions) but I absolutely got so much enjoyment out of my PSP for a long time. Definite nostalgia for those days spent waiting and just pulling out my PSP and playing Pop’n Music or whatever.

@PerfectDark Maybe I should find a picture of my PSP mod where I use an external 18650 battery. 😁
It’s not pretty!
Sure gets a lot more run time though!
