    My buddy got an old PSP he handed me to mod for him. He doesn’t have the password because he got it at a garage sale for 15 bux. Anyone got tips on where to start?

      Googling it returns “Empyre Y2K” as the name of that specific hat, but I don’t know if the original creator was going for a specific brand or just that time period in the 00s when it was popular for girls to wear trucker hats.

    The PSP blew my young mind when it first came out. I remember holding it in my hand when I got one as a Christmas gift, completely in awe of the fact that I could take a Playstation anywhere. I loaded mine up with music and had a ton of games.

    The closest modern thing is the Steam Deck. Although it’s much better than the PSP ever was, it doesn’t hit the same as an adult. Still love it, though.

      You could slip a psp into your pocket and just resume your play when you had a few free minutes

      The closest modern thing is the Steam Deck.

      Or a Retroid, or Anbernic, or Miyoo, or PowKiddy, or Ayaneo, or Ayn, or TrimUI… or slap a controller onto your phone using one of those derpy clip mounts or the fancy new Mcon once it ships.

    I never had a Tamagotchi, but the little rectangular Digimon versions of them were all the rage when I was like 8. I kinda miss those things.

    And I recall a year or two later getting another toy…may or may not have been Digimon branded…that had the same connector on the top, but was more rounded in shape. I remember after my battery on one died, holding the two together to try and keep it alive through the power the other one was sending it. Of course it only worked as long as I was physically holding them, and would then reset.

        Googling that, it doesn’t look like it. The first one I mentioned was completely rectangular, not an odd shape. It’s the Bandai Digimon toy.

        The second one I think may have been Scannerz, which I’m guessing used the same connector as the Digimon toy just because it was what was available. But it’s possible (at an outside chance) that I’m misremembering and it was the D-Scanner, a Digimon-branded equivalent to Scannerz. No useful data was being transferred when connecting the two together, just power.

        A third possibility is that there was some third toy I’m forgetting about which is what I was able to connect to the Digimon toy to power it.

    “Nostalgia”

    I’m playing FF Tactics:Advance on my Anbernic not because I’m clinging to the past, but because the game kicks ass. Also, I have a shitton of games in a convenient package.
