I did love this handheld a lot. It really got me through some boring as fuck shifts. Riiiiiiidge Racer and Pixel Junk Monsters are the best.

The battery mod involves a new back casing called Power Armour that lets you put in the bigger Vita battery, and there is a PSP memory to Micro SD ribbon cable that slides in the back. Only downside is the memory card can’t be removed without taking the back of the system case off, but I pretty much know what PSP games I want at this point. Might be my favorite form factor of all handhelds, its just so tiny.

    Nice! I put a USB C on my PS Vita, and I love it so much. I love how great the modding community is for these handhelds these days.

    I have a memory stick pro duo to microsd converter in my psp it’s pretty nice, just fits right in the card slot. The only wrinkle I’ve found is that some games get confused by the storage size being too big and need a blank save to exist before they’ll let you save. This is a known problem so save files are available online, though.

    Pixeljunk Monsters has become one of the games I play while listening to audiobooks so glad to see it get some love elsewhere.

    The PSP was the first console I got into software/hardware modding and one of my favorite consoles of all time.

    I keep on hoping more handhelds (thank you GPD) just completely copy it/the Vita’s form factors because I feel like they’re perfectly shaped handheld devices.

      i wish they would remake the 2D version or even just release it for Switch. The 2nd one that is 3D looks so bad.
