Surely PSPs are cheap as chips?
Can see temp ban, just saying.

Surprisingly expensive. They've almost tripled in price over the last few years. A poopy condition 1000 is £65 at CEX, a few years ago that would've been £20-£25.

If you soft-mod it (which is trivial now), then you can use standard microSD cards using a $5 adapter. This is the way to go since you can get capacities as large as 1TB with microSD and there are also reports of official Sony Memory Cards corrupting data so its actually less safe to use the official cards.

Just looking at eBay between 20 and 50 quid. Some with a few games too. Unless I'm missing something.

Can you play the cartridge games with this? I know it takes the spot of the cart, but can you remove it and just plop in the cart or does it revert or cause some issue. Would hate to do this and have to go through some pain in the ass procedure everytime wanted to play a cart game.
Thinking about this as my hacked psp as a weird faded square in the screen. Apparently its a common issue with the glue coming off or something, lol.

You can play mgs 1,2, 3 and peacewalker on the vita. There is a native remaster of 2 and 3 in the collection. I know since i have the game cart.
Also mgs1 is a ps1 classic you can buy it in the store or get it how you will.

I know, I was talking about the contents of the compatibility list for the emulator.

Now that I've put all the CFW on it and done the permanent hack, do I still need to be signed into PSN on my secondary account for things like PKGJ to work or can I sign out?
Basically if I decide to sell this OLED model, does a potential buyer log in with their second account to carry on playing what's been installed?

Sorry, to pull this back up, but this is wrong. The only difference is, that ONLY when you turn it off regularly and turn it on again, you have to start the Henkaku-app as a first step. No downgrading needed.

Kamina
Golden Boy
All of them on Amazon state that they require Henkaku 3.6

They require Henkaku! Henkaku (as far as I understand it) mimics the firmware 3.6 for using CFW. But the non-permanent version doesn't need a downgrade.

You can, but it is not a necessity.

You'll downgrade to 3.6 as part of the hacking process.

They're wrong. From a usage standpoint 3.60 is desireable just because the Enso exploit runs on coldboot, but there's nothing about the adapters that stops them working on higher firmwares, the plugins for mounting them just has to work on that FW. The cartridge slot is basically just an SD card slot in a weird form factor.
