Nice review! I have never had read problems or UMD skipping. I was unaware of those problems.
I do as well. The cover seems to protect the disk better. I know it holds the UMD in place but it was also smart thinking to avoid most scratches.
Good idea, RT!
The PSP is an amazing little unit.
The retro compilations is one of the things I really love about the PSP. I can have the best of both worlds with this handheld. One of my most favorite:Me too! I am still finding out just how many retro comps they made. Glad Sony did not do a couple and quit. The ones I own have really been done well.

I have no idea what people were looking for in the PSP library. It has a lot of good games. The compilations alone are superb.

If Sony got just 1 thing right, from a gaming point of view with PSP..it was fact it's region-free.
Some of the Jap.comps (pricey as they may be) have been fantastic.
Retro comp wise i've picked up:
E.A Replay
Midway Arcade Treasures:Extended Play.
Sega MD Collection.
Namco Museum Battle Collection.
Powerstone Collection.
Capcom:Classics Colection (Remixed and also:Reloaded), plus:Puzzle World.
Metal Slug Anthology
SNK Arcade Classics 0
Tatio Legends Power Up.
Tatio Memories Pocket (Jap) has Bubble Bobble on it, reason i bought.
Paridous Portable.
Star Soldier.
That's just the Retro comps...and folks on internet were saying PSP had no good games?
:-)
Bit of PSP triva:
Mercury actually started life as nothing more than a PS2 physics demo, PSP was annouced and someone thought, ahhh! we could use this in a smart little PSP game.
Mark Cale, talking to media just after Gottieb Pinball Classics had launched on PSP (and was 1st PSP game to use the 'game-sharing' tech.) said System 3 had plans to resurrect Epyx's 'Games' series, starting off with California Games.Also planeed for PSP were new versions of:IK and The Last Ninja.
All would make use of the game sharing tech, so groups of PSP owners could have multi-player games, with only 1 copy of the game needed.
Sadly nothing came of it...but then, this was System 3 here.....
Cale did mention there were technical limits (something about how much data could be transfered at any given time and at what speeds), but i seem to recal a PSP magazine quite regularly showed you how to play one of the PSP Wipeout games on 2 machines with just 1 copy of the game.
Know likes of Pure were quite happy to guide you through running homebrew/CFW on PSP and how to play any PSP game online using internet tunneling, which might explain why it was'nt long in production, going from PSP specific to PSP+PS3 then dissapearing.

Interesting!
Activision Hits has game sharing on the back of the case. Does that mean it could be played with one UMD?
Nice! Thanks for the heads up, RT! Might be nice to try somedayQuote from: "onthinice"Activision Hits has game sharing on the back of the case. Does that mean it could be played with one UMD?
Apparently so.It seems a quick load to the 2nd PSP is all that's needed yo send every 2600 game to the 2nd PSP, with the 1st PSP always maintaining the role of 'host' so in terms of the single player games, all player on 2nd PSP would be able to do is view action, but in terms of the 2-Player games, 2nd PSP is considered 'Joystick 2' and as long as you remain connected by wi-fi, the 2600 2-Player games are said to be superb.
I think you can run MAME on PSP. I fancy giving it a blast with mine since it never gets used. (And I have a vita now so that aint likely to change anytime soon :S )
emu I have runing flawlessly on my PSP are

You definitely don't have this running flawlessly! I have tried PLynx and it's far from perfect.
It runs much slower than a real machine and the sound is really off.
PLynx is what the PSP port of Handy is called.
Sound can not be adjusted, Handy just doesn't emulate the Mikey chip properly. It's just as as bad on a PC.
It's a shame that Handy was never developed further as I am sure these issues could be sorted out eventually.

No mate you wrong again, the PSP release of Handy I'm using is Handy 0.95 not PLynx
link for it Here (http://http) and was created Akop Karpetyan, the emulator you have mention is not it, Plynx sub seeded this one by a year previous in 2006 ported by Plynx himself but discounted it some time ago, the handy Lynx emulator for the PSP is documented here for what's in and what's not over Here (http://http)
There is no accurate Lynx emulator out there for any platform right now. Real hardware all the way here.
lol a PSP thread all about Atari :)
So my favorite psp game... cant quiet decided between FFVII advent children or GTA Liberty City stories or Little Big Planet.
I have recently got Lemmings but have yet to play it.
What else should i be looking out for?

I have exactly one movie for my PSP :21:
Its a shame UMD came out so late, the shield on the disc just makes them kick ass. Anyone know their capacity?
I have a PSP that can connect to a TV, and the cable to do so. I tried it once and thought the picture looked terrible blown up on the big screen! I only tried a couple games and then quickly turned it off, so it's possible some games look better then others, or maye there's settings that can be changed to improve the picture, but I wasn't impressed. Maybe others have had better success but I wouldn't recommend buying another system just for that feature. Just my two cents
