Hacking PSP buying guide for native play and system emulation

[spraydom22]

Forget the 1000 (heavy), E-1000 (crap) or the Go (small screen), I have both the 2000 and 3000 model. Don't like the scan lines of the 3000, prefered the natural look of the games on the 2000. For the GBA emulator try the latest versions of gpSP and TempBGA4PSP, for Snes the latest version of s9xTYLmecm_mod, for GBA/GBC try MasterBoy and for the NES try NesterJ.

In addition, I have the 1000 and the D-pad is terrible for fighting games. Almost impossible to play CPS1/2 games like Street fighter 2...can't pull off diagonal moves. I read the 2000 and 3000 have better d-pads. The 32mb ram also seems to limit some neo-geo games from loading and retroarch crashes when loading roms--seems to be an out of memory issue..

Update..PSP 1000 bricked from bad Optical drive. Got a used 2000. Can verify it has a much better d-pad for fighting games.
