Bung an SSD in the PS4 Pro and the boot time is, if anything, slightly quicker, than the PS5...
PS2 and PS1 don't have hard drives or network connections and so they're just booting from the firmware OS.
@Sketcz Our were £22.65 for 3 and came from retro-refurb on eBay. Doesn't look like they do them any more though? So far, they've lasted a long time but I don't think they're the 3600mAh that they claim for the 2000/3000 series? Maybe 1200?
The Ostent ones seem to be the best of the 3rd party ones and are about £10-12 on Amazon.
Not too long ago, I bought 3 extra new PSP batteries for mine, my wife's and son's PSP 3000 so we can charge two and swap when the other one runs out if not near a socket.
Weirdly, the original Sony ones still seem to last longest?? Obviously built back in the day when Sony over-engineered stuff rather than the Driftsense company they are today.
The Chaos Engine was so much better than the 2nd one so hopefully they could release the Amiga versions of those classics.
It's a bit like Sensible Soccer - the Amiga version was just so much better than the Megadrive version that the Evercade has on the Codemasters collection. That said, can the Evercade really do quarter pixel scrolling?
@GeneJacket Unfortunately I think you're right. The people who gave a toss seemed to have left at the end of the PS4 era and we just have accountants in charge now.
A better Wipeout 30th Anniversary celebration would be - a new Wipeout! But due to Sony pulling the plug on Studio Liverpool, I suspect that day will never come.
Playstation had one mission - to humiliate Nintendo - and this game with its never-before-seen-in-a-home gameplay and thundering soundtrack is just one of the reasons it succeeded in its mission.
How we miss Psygnosis/Studio Liverpool, Evolution & Japan Studio.
Hang on a moment, didn't they just last month (or two) copy all the existing MM created textures and all other associated stuff on to the LBP servers so people could use it on the PS4 version and then they go and close the server down? What gives?
I still find it strange that even after all this time, the latest 2DS and 3DS models only have the same screen resolution as the PSP!
I still have and play on my PSP 3000 even though there's a Vita parked next to it as Sony got lazy with their PSP titles for download via the PS Store. And with the retail trade-in prices of the two systems getting remarkably close in the UK, I wonder which one I'll trade in first?
Sony could enter a handheld market again but I think the approach would need to be different. Perhaps a big-screen Xperia with clip on/slide out thumb-stick and button controls and access to an official PSP/Vita emulator with the ability to download games from the PS Store..? A bit like an od Xperia Play but done properly.
