PSP PSP: The Quintessence of Handhelds

[Vardalis]

You could officially get PS1 games on that phone? Nice!

Yeah, that was one of the features they had. I believe it came with Crash Bandicoot as a pack-in game and they added a small selection you could buy over time before they closed the service. It was just emulation though, and I do recall seeing something about a program people used to use to convert normal PS1 games to the format the device wanted (like the PSP EBOOT).

I'm always curious to know if anyone has a collection of UMD movies.

I didn't have a huge collection but I definitely had some. I eventually just stopped buying them in favor of DVDs because they were cheaper and liked my portable DVD player more. Ones I can remember owning:

• TMNT: The Movie
• Simpsons Movie
• Hancock
• Night at the Museum
• Spider Man 2

PSP really was the best handheld. Spent countless hours with mine. With the exception of maybe Chinese handhelds (emulation boxes), anything since has been a disappointment. I remember buying a cheap 'TOOL' battery and thinking that was the craziest exploit to install a mod (cfw) ever.

I still have it, but the power switch spring is shot, the joystick mounting is broken, the batteries are long since dead, and I just don't want to put money (and time) into fixing it when aforementioned Chinese handhelds are so cheap. I may yet fix it one day, because I could never just toss it in the trash. At one time I was thinking about ripping out the UMD drive and slapping a gigantic polymer battery in it, because a week's worth of battery is never a bad thing. Still have Pro Duo to SD card adapters laying around too.
