Well why not homebrew it, find out what you can put in and then pass it down to a little brother or friend. I handed my little bro his first PC to get him into PC gaming because I disliked the fact that he spends over $60 per game and only has a handful for the Xdung. I had a Dell Optiplex 330 stored in the closet, it was basically useless to me, had a ATI Radeon 260 and I got him a handful of games he chose from this previous winter sale on Steam such as Age of Empires 3,PvZ GOTY, Dead Island, L4Dead series, Portal series, and Half-Life 2 (the only one he didn't quite enjoy and I don't blame him, I hadn't played that game in ages myself that I kinda remembered it being more fun when I young). We now game like keyboard potatoes and he uses his console fairly less than ever. I also got him into emulation and had a good experience over all. I knew that telling him "This is now yours" felt a little offsetting because muh memories but after we cleaned it up and optimized it we had a good experience. Now I know this has nothing to do with a PSP or homebrew but I thought I might share with you my experience handing down good electronics.Such as? (I'm giving this thing the kiss of life)

Dude, i had a fucking blast with my psp back in 2009 when i got it. These newer "bigger" games fucked my mind big time.It's a shame I find myself in the same dilemma as you but with my new 3ds xl. Can't get a pinch of entertainment out of it, I have played lots of fucking games since 2011 and I honestly think there will never be another good title on it.
Btw, i forgot to mention some PSP Games, since the library its huge, and all depends on your taste here are some of my top gaames that i really enjoyed:This guy got it.

well you can buy a psp component or composite cords for psp (2000/3000) and be able to play that on a bigger screenI do, i had it done on the 1004 a couple of years ago and got my 3004 done just a couple of hours ago.
