Comment on Why Everyone’s Picking Up a PSP Again in 2026 (my article!)

Last year I bought a PS Vita and I’d highly recommend that instead if you can find one for cheap! The Vita can natively run PSP games via Adrenaline, and you get the advantage of Vita games and homebrew (and a better screen).

That said, I’m a long time PSP Go lover. It’s basically the PSP in a smaller, pocketable form factor. I would absolutely get that if you can get your hands on one.

Are there decent microSD to their proprietary card format adapters? Because there are plenty of cheap microSD-MSduo for the PSP

  Yeah, SD2Vita is the standard and are usually found for ~$6. You put an SD card into it, then slot it into the game card slot to expand your storage.

  Yeah, SD2Vita is the goto and works pretty well with micro-SD

I grabbed a Vita a few years ago to play around with. Never had any of their handhelds growing up so it was all new to me. Not something I regularly use and it kind of just gathers dust next to my analogue pocket and 3DS, but even so, it’s a really neat little thing and can do a lot once hacked open.

I have RetroArch on mine as well so I can play GBA or other games as well.

  Retroarch is a bit bloated for more intensive emulation, though. You can play N64 games on Vita, but they run better in standalone emulators than in Retroarch.

Hacking it us a breeze and you can do so much stuff with it. Pretty active Dev scene also. Has become my favorite handheld, Vita is life.
