Time to set up Jellyfin instead!

“…you should be in favour of age verification.”

No, I’m not. I’m in favor of parents parenting kids themselves (their fav excuse for bringing I.D. checks in)

Having chatted to all of the big names who manufacture retro handhelds (I review them), the emulation device scene is 100% feeling the pinch on this.

From AYN to Retroid, they’re all worried, dropping specs and raising prices. One company told me “…Sony worries about this, so we will of course also worry”

The gaming scene is changing rapidly now.

Just spotted that there’s been a firmware update.

Just be careful, updating basically resets all settings and favorites, dark mode to light etc

Thank you!

I’ve had a great time trying these out, and finding the one which will stick with me. You’ll have a great time with this, and while it is in the post you can start getting, building and curating your music collection! :P

(which color will you opt for?)

It didn’t drop out for me once, I tried with 4 different Bluetooth earbuds (two from Sony, one Sennheiser and the last from Motorola)

Agree with all your points!

The metal body is so very satisfying. But the cheaper (and almost toy-like) Innioasis Y1 had a far better menu system with that scroll-wheel

I really recommend it!

The metal case is a standout to me, I just love to hold it!

Thank you!

It was a surprise, since the listing had no indication it was jailbroken, but the fun thing was just how old that was!

You never really know what you’ll get with ‘junk’ listings :)

I love the shell!

There are a ton! Check out the Retroid Pocket 5 if you’re wanting something which can run upscaled PSP (and far more), or the more recently released Retroid Pocket 6 if you want it to be able to run Switch and PC games also

The word ‘junk’ on Buyee/Japan’s online marketplaces doesn’t mean what it does elsewhere. It can mean anything:

• Not having a charger on hand, so it can’t be tested
• Literally just dusty
• They don’t know how it works
• …all the way to actual issues (which typically I’ve found are things like muck in the power switches which isopropyl alcohol fixes right up!)

Junk absolutely doesn’t mean they’re broken! Listings tend to go into a little detail on what is wrong with the consoles :)

I’ve bought a TON of handheld consoles through Buyee. DSi’s (I got a great DSi LL in box with all the bits, barely used for $52 AUD), GBA SPs, I even got a launch Switch to jailbreak from Japan!

I actually wrote a article on a ‘junk’ PSP from Japan, you can read more on it here:

Wow, that’s an amazing compliment, glad you liked the article and that it began to sway you to the (older) handheld scene :)

Thank you!!!

Oh that’s excellent! I’m glad I could help!

From Buyee!

I actually wrote an article about that process and what you can expect (and do to get the best deal, in my eyes) on Buyee

You can read it here if you’re curious:

You knew exactly what I meant by my headline with this article. If you thought I literally meant every person alive then you’ve got a rough go ahead of you!

Sorry for your (PSP) loss :(
