The DS systems are not very portable from my experience. To reiterate, I want to be able to carry a lot of games with me and have a system take up as little space as possible. The PSPgo fits that description.

And when you think about the go's ability to become a home console and emulate many different systems it really makes it one of the most desirable PSP models.

Why not get a flashcart for DS then if space is an issue.

Absolutely. The first thing I thought about when I wanted to play it is how cramped my thumbs felt. It's a beautiful piece of hardware but I just couldn't enjoy it.

I'm thinking of making the PSPgo my emulation machine while keeping my PSN & UMD stuff on my 2000.

How well is PSone emulation on the go? And how do you handle multi-disc ps1 games?

I've been out of the hacking scene for a while.

PSone emulation using Popstation is as good as it has ever been, which is pretty close to the PSN releases of PS1 games. Some gripes I have are the lack of a analog stick (you can have the directional pad or analog stick on the PSP mimic the Analog stick or Dpad on the PS1, but not both at the same time). You have to dedicate the left and right of either the Dpad or A-stick for the L2 R2 buttons, but aside from that, it works well.

The conversion I use is a wrapper that converts ISOs rips of PSX games and turns it into bootable EBOOTs for the PSP. The wrapper allows you to specify multiple ISOs for multidisc games, that way the saves from one game are recognized by the other discs in the set.

Oh I remember those. Are you using PSX2PSP?

When running HEN on a PSP Go do you need a Pro Duo stick or can you just use internal memory?

Internal memory works great. I have it setup so all my ISOs are on my mem stick, and legit PSN content is in the internal memory.
