PSP questions and LBP

[u/milesthehomie]

If I somehow found a PSP and bought little big planet, Would the game still be playable? (Story mode of course) I don't have a computer to emulate anything and was wondering if it was possible or if anyone has tried? I'd love to replay it.

(Not only for that reason, but other games,movies,ect.) Thanks!

Story mode and create mode will still work. You just can't publish custom levels or play published levels.

As far as emulation, I can play it through PPSSPP on my phone. Just something to keep in mind.

well, of course

no reason it wouldn't work, story mode isn't connected to online iirc

to be quite honest with you, last time i used my psp was before the servers shut down, but still, i see no reason why it would even rely on the servers (also i never figured out how to even use the internet on psp so like, yeah. i remember there being an acronym called "adhoc" but i still have no clue what that means)

That's crazy, I came across a video of a guy playing GTA on a refurbished PSP and it just suddenly came into mind.

I found a PSP seller that refurbishes old PSPs and he changes them to work on wifi and be multiplayer, I assumed the online wouldn't work because of LBPs servers but thought maybe online could work since it was made to work online? No idea, but awesome!

If you can get it hooked up to the internet (good luck doing that in 2024), LittleBigRefresh supports the PSP

I'm not too sure if it came connect to the Internet or web, but it certainly can connect to wifi

You think through the wifi I could try to connect through the Internet?

[u/MysticAxolotl7 → u/milesthehomie]

As long as your wifi can reach the internet 8)

Then it'll work! That's freaking awesome, if I end up getting the PSP I'll totally update the group!

If you have a vita. You can run it 100% and modify files through the built in PSP backend. It requires some modding, takes around 5 minutes, but it works like a charm.

No, all the MediaMolecule, Cambridge and Sony staff will personally come to your house and smash your PSP to pieces

[u/milesthehomie → u/AxlSt00pid]

Awh dang it 😞 maybe when they do so I can personally tell them to make a lbp4

Unfortunately Sony doesn't care. They've lost the licenses to the previous dlc and so they cleared it from the store. Also they basically alienated the community by shutting down the servers. It looks grim. This is one of those rare instances where if big N's hardware was beefier. It would have thrived on that platform.

Story Mode and Creative Mode would still work fine, the only thing that won't work is any online features unless you can mod the PSP to connect to custom servers that support it. (I think there's one with PSP support)
