They still look good even now! Though there is a bunch of new IPS displays you can install, these are semi-recent to the PSP handhelds, and while they lack saturation, they reaaaally make up for that in brightness!

…sadly only available (as things stand currently) for the 1000 and 3000 series though

You can see the OEM screen on top here, and the replacement IPS on the bottom:

This is just an article I wrote some time ago, but seeing so much interest in Sony’s PSP lately, I thought it might fit in here well enough :)

I know it is just a headline, and it is a good one. But I still want to slip in here to say that RetroDECK was actually released for Steam Deck a few weeks before EmuDeck.

I’d recommend seeing what the community has shared, others may have uploaded their games/settings for that phone on EmuReady. The sites is maintained purely to share exactly that.

(here is the results filtered just by your handset, but these include all kinds of emulation, not just GameNative)

But by the same token, 99% of games which do (and don’t) run won’t have been shared there either. So it is a game-by-game basis.

A good one to start with would be a ‘light’ title like DREDGE, if you own it?

I’ll do a little checking and see what I can find on your phone though, will come back and edit with what I find soon!

Edit: Here is a post on Reddit where the OP asks the community how the Pixel 8 is for emulation in general. The top comment says that they’re using Winlator and have 60FPS/720p performance for BioShock, New Vegas, Wow with dx9/10 games. So these should translate to being the same performance/playability on GameNative (I’d hazard, anyway)

There’s also results in the GameNative Discord, but too many to share here. I do hope this helps, though!

Maybe it is finally time for open-source(ish) dating to make an impact!

(It won’t. I tried it a couple years back and it is a ghost town!)

To me this article definitely reads like the author and those involved actually think the opposite of what you’ve said

Do I? I certainly didn’t write that. I’m from a background where I spent around 2 years writing Steam Deck articles, guides and interviews, exclusively. I don’t like you framing me as someone dismissing the Steam Deck. Weird.

Granted i didn’t do more than a cursory look at it.

Ah, say no more. Now I see why you thought that.

I’ve interviewed something like 50-ish dev teams/sole devs and projects now:

• Heroic Games Launcher
• Lutris
• RetroDECK
• PCSX2
• RPCS3
• Eden

…the list really does go on and on. And yes, I am or have since become friends with each of them. I find it odd that because I am friends, an interview might become somehow less. These are interviews which wouldn’t happen without me doing it. 75% of the ones I have done were with teams who never thought they’d get to share their story, and that’s a big part of why I do them. Too often people forget about those devs who are behind what they use and love so much.

This woudln’t be unbaised article writing regardless. I’m not writing an article. I write an intro, an ‘end’, I write the questions and organize a time when I can chat to the teams. There’s nothing to be unbiased about. At least in my mind. I appreciate what you’re saying, I don’t mean to come off as defensive or anything here, but it really stuck with me - how people here on Lemmy have taken the headline of this article as something which needs to be discounted.

“…but this isn’t exactly the New York Times”

But good point. No, it isn’t. Gardiner and I just run the site as a space where we can write about what we love. For me that is 99% gaming. We haven’t got ads, it runs by community donations (server space etc).

Ugh. Sorry, rant over.

It is literally a quote from the interviewee

I don’t understand how a quote from the article can be click-bait? Because it is a sensational statement? Sure, but he said that. He made that statement. He believes it. FFS.

No, not at all a conflict of interest.

Literally nothing at all, by definition, is a conflict of interest.

Here’s the filter for just your device, if it helps:

https://www.emuready.com/listings?deviceIds=["fc4ef9e4-8df9-48b7-97b4-c9cace9a417f"]

I’m just wondering where the ‘conflict of interest’ is here?

It is a clear, attributable quote and perspective from the interviewee. What conflict?! Who else would the quote be from, when I am interviewing one person?

Edit. Yeah, doesn’t seem like you understand what a ‘conflict of interest’ actually is.

Have a look at my friend’s site:

https://www.emuready.com/

It is a space where community members upload their experiences and ideal settings for the devices and games. I might be biased because he is a friend, but I can also say that objectively it is a wonderful space to double-check how you’re approaching things.

Filter your search by your device, and then on the far-right, click on each result’s ‘eye’ to see what the person’s recommendations are in there (I do hope this helps!)

If you ever run into an issue (you won’t now though, that’s for sure), feel free to message me on here. I’m always happy to help!

Yep, totally fine and safe :)

No glaring issues!

You might have to reinstall a plugin, but I’ve only seen that issue literally once. It only happens if that plugin is dependent on being on the beta channel.

Once you switch back to stable, just restart your Steam Deck and it’ll be good to go!

No data loss or anything awful. But if it helps, I’ll check in with my friend on Decky and get his confirmation before you do :)

Here’s my tip (being friends with the Decky team, and having reported on them/interviewed them for a long time now!)

When you install Decky, stay on the stable branch.

When there is a update for the Steam Deck, wait a few hours until Decky have their update, install that first.

Every single complaint about Decky is totally fixed with these two dead-simple actions.

Then grab SteamGridDB and change all your game art (that’s my fav plugin!)

Interesting.

Is this dragoonDorise’s work? I interviewed them a few years back, and chatted again a couple weeks ago, hoping to write a feature article on the hardware, but that was a no-go.

They were interested in having me write an article on the EmuDeck Android app, but then just kinda ghosted me

Oh what a lovely thing to see, this is my article!

I’ve still got a couple other PSP articles on the go (it has become an obsession of mine)

Primary of which is my attempts to get an interview with someone from the original hardware design team. I’ve chatted a couple times to him, but the momentum seems to have stalled a little (though I’m not giving up on that idea!), I really want to share that story.

I’ve also chatted to one of the developers of Daxter, who said he’s not at all interested in a interview, since he has well and truly moved on. But he did show me a preproduction PSP the team got to work on Daxter, and he kept!

Added it to the side-bar of recommended communities on c/games :)
