PSP Go is Dead

[lenselijer]

instead of the xperia play i have a modded psp go, much better games

PSPGo is only a decent handheld with piracy. Otherwise you lose much of PSP's library, unfortunately.

And for God's sake, a digital distribution hardware supporting only Wireless B type is preposterous.

I was thinking of getting one now, but what can I do with it ?
I mean like you say, it's only worth it with piracy, so is it easy to hack ?
I' d like to run some emulators, PSX games and homebrew, but I'm not too sure how/where to store all the games and applications.
But if there is an easy way to do it ( I am experienced, I just never cared for the PSP ) then I might get one, I like the design.

If you manage to find a new one, it should be REALLY easy to hack, ive done this about a week ago

If anyone hits on a deal, post up the info. A clearance is bound to happen. Apparently, the PSP-3000 bundle was on clearance at some Targets for $65. I really want to pick a new PSP up. A Go would be great.

Connect the PSP Go. Manually install one firmware (a specific firmware), then you put some files in the root and a specific folder (To install CFW). Disconnect the PSP Go from the PC. Locate the "game" file in the games section. Boot it up. Let it install.

You got yourself a hacked PSP Go.

It was going for $99 since Febuary in Staples (Only in Canada though American Staples stores don't sell video games).

No PSP model is really all that difficult to hack anymore. Except for the latest firmware, you can get either temporary hacks that have to be reapplied each time you shut down the system (really fast regardless), or there are permanent patches for one or two of the latest CFW's. The 16GB built in memory is phenomenal though, and if you like the size and feel, it's a must buy really.

I picked up a PSPGo recently for $100 still in the box. It's a great system actually. If they stop doing new games in digital format, I can still always buy the game and iso it, and drag and drop the game to my handheld.

It's a great little console, minus the lack of battery % (fixed with dayviewer 7) and the volume buttons being at a weird location.

R.I.P. future PSPGo's.

Buy them now.... collectors.

This website's reaction toward new video games or news of video game related products:

Remakes or a sequel announced for a PS3/PSP game
>> OMG, REHASH IT'S BEEN DONE BEFORE, NOBODY LIKES SONY. WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO PLAY THAT AGAIN, IT'S THE SAME THING BEFORE. THEY JUST RIPPED OFF NINTENDO, 0/10 DIE IN HELL SONY.

Remakes or a sequel announced for a Nintendo game
>> OMG, 10/10 SO GOOD NINTENDO DOES IT AGAIN, SO INNOVATIVE AND IMAGINATIVE. TOTALLY REFRESHING AND NEW. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. TAKE ALL OF MY MONEY NINTENDO!


PSP Go is dead? Well, a clearance should convince people to pick it up then.

Yeah but at least the games Nintendo is remaking are ones that were huge sellers in their hay day. Star Fox 64 and Zelda: Ocarina of Time are two of the biggest titles that fans have been wanting remade for 15 years and it's finally happening. These types of games aren't just any average games, they were some of the highest reviewed titles of all time originally. Will they hold the same value and enjoyable experiences that the originals had? For sure, it's been a long time for some people and even the younger generation will be able to truly experience and understand why people love those titles so much. I don't think they will get the same kinds of reviews as before, but whatever.

The difference is though, the games being ported to the NGP are fairly recent, not 15-20 year old classics, which is why people dislike the idea. Not to mention they aren't the types of games that sold a shit load of PS3 consoles either. On the same token, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater didn't sell well on the Xbox and it deserves to sell on a recognized platform, something the Xbox wasn't at that time. Nintendo could probably remake Super Mario 64 with new graphics and stuff and it would sell like hot cakes, Sony couldn't remake any one of their own franchises and have it sell nearly as well because Sony's biggest franchises haven't transitioned well over to the PS3 and so they aren't as recognized.

People would shit bricks if Square Enix remade Final Fantasy 7 and 9 for the NGP though.

I don't think that many people wanted a Starfox 64 remake, Starfox maybe, but not 64, simply because there was really no reason for one. Also, you're forgetting that if there's a remake that's been asked for more than any other, it's Final Fantasy VII; whether you like the game or not, it's a fact. Now wouldn't it make sense to make an FFVII remake on the NGP? Well, if they did that people would still complain.

I honestly never saw anything great on the PSP Go.
It has a smaller screen than a normal PSP and it's pretty uncomfortable to use. The analog is better than the PSP's but it's placed in a more uncomfortable place and the shoulder buttons are annoying to use because of the screen.

The only pro I see is not needing the UMDs to play.

 

[.Chris]

They should have put a UMD slot.

What ports do we know? We don't know of any ports for the NGP, we hardly know of any games that are coming to it. They are labeled "Untitled" for a reason.

And I have to agree with machomuu, StarFox fans do not want a remake of 64 but a brand new installment all together.

And its not the fact that "Sony's biggest franchises haven't transitioned well over to the PS3". It's more of the fact that every generation they make new IPs and stop making old ones. Why do you think we haven't had a real Crash Bandicoot or Spyro the Dragon games on the PS2 or PS3? The ones that are made now are not made by Naughty Dog or Insomiac.

 

[Foxi4]

What is wrong with you people?

Anyone even remotely interested in purchasing an NGP ALREADY has a PSP. Backwards compatibility to the obselete medium that are UMD's is as necessary as a punch in the face and it would make the system twice as fat.

Forget about backwards compatibility and look on the bright sides. One of the many. Like an up to 2Ghz quad core CPU. Or a quad-core GPU. In a handheld. Or the capacitive screen. Or SIXAXIS.

Thinking that the NGP will not be a worthy competitor of the "aged" hardware that is the 3DS is wishful and cute, but at the same time pathetic.

 

[BORTZ]

What is wrong with you people? Do you want that list doublespaced?

Anyone even remotely interested in purchasing an NGP ALREADY has a PSP. Backwards compatibility to the obselete medium that are UMD's is as necessary as a punch in the face and it would make the system twice as fat. Not true. Thats why i hold on to my DS lite and not upgrade to a DSi

Forget about backwards compatibility and look on the bright sides. One of the many. Like an up to 2Ghz quad core CPU. Or a quad-core GPU. In a handheld. Or the capacitive screen. Or SIXAXIS. look the processors are all well and good but lol sixaxis

[Foxi4]

If you hold onto your Lite, (Like-a meeee) you won't play DSi-Ware. If you choose the DSi, you won't pay GBA games.

Sounds like Ninny didn't really play its cards well back then, but who complained? Back then, we believed that the buffed up system will spawn exclusive games... which it didn't.

But who points out that the DSi has... maybe 2-5 noteworthy games, all being DSiWare. Who'll say that the DSi has 0 commercially-sold cartridge games that don't suck.

Get a grip, guys

The DSi was a "wasted chance", much like the PSP Go. Why didn't it die? No idea. It damn should've.

Besides, you put = between upgrade and sell the previous console.

Don't. Hold onto your console.

Problem solved.

Thats because nintendo's slogan now is basically "youll still buy it"

 

[Foxi4]

Agreed. I call it the "double game".

1. Shitty CPU? Make it double.
2. Shitty cameras? Make it double.
3. Shitty frequency/Flops per-CPU? Regrettably, make it double.
= 3DS.

They came up with it right after GBA-Era, lol.

I'm definitely going to grab a Go on clearance. A GameStop refurbished one is $109.99s, so I'd just have to save up a good $10-15's to grab it. Even if to just replay Crisis Core, and play KH:BBS.

Spoiler

You can play downloaded ISOs, on a hacked PSPGo right?

Have you ever heard or Yokoi's 'withered technology' mantra?

That settles it. I'm going to grab one. I might get a better deal on Craigslist. (A perfectly working PSP 3000 was on there for $30's.

)
