I took this up as a hobby earlier this year, to see if I could still do it. The system is a PSP 1001, or the PSP fat as the nickname, since it is the thicker system. They came out with 2 or 3 other versions, but this one is preferred since the graphics did not improve on the later models, but the size shrinking made it harder, and less comfortable to hold.
I purchased an 8 gig SD card, and hacked the firmware to the 5.50 GEN-D3 firmware. This means that you can now copy PSP games, NES emulators, SNES emulators, etc. directly to the SD card. The sky is the limit.
Currently, I have the following installed on the system:
- GBA emulator w/ Advance Wars
- Final Fantasy 7
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
- NES emulator with Contra, Mario, etc…
- Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
- Final Fantasy: Dissidia Duo Decim 012
- Tekken 5
Everything is in perfect condition. The battery lasts for near 7 hours, so it is perfect for plane rides and other long trips. System comes with the above mentioned, as well as a really nice carry case, and a cable that hooks up to a USB port, for both transferring files to the system, as well as charging the battery.
This is bad ass for anyone into gaming. I don’t know what to ask for it, so let’s go for $110 or best offer!
