The Playstation Portal has officially been hacked, and it is being shown running PPSSPP on it.

    Neat trick, but the device is already of questionable value (a portable device that doesn’t work outside your house). Jailbreaking it doesn’t really add much functionality. 6GB storage isn’t particularly useful in 2024.

    Super neat. It’s a really comfortable and enjoyable controller with a tablet attached. If people can keep the original functionality whilst also adding more options like this, that would just make it better for everyone

      It’s a remote for your ps5 which doesn’t really work well outside of your local network.

      It was a cut down Android OS that only served as a wireless monitor and controller for your PS5.

          Yeah, it’s a novelty. Especially considering it only appears to have 8GB NAND total with 2GB taken up by the OS. For the price, although with a smaller screen (and is much more travel friendly), might as well buy an Ayn Neo or Retroid Pocket 4. Both would have substantially more CPU power, storage and ram.

      It’s a streaming device. Think a WiiU gamepad except it can also operate over WiFi connections.

          You could, in theory, play with two screens. However the controls are hardwired onto the device and IIRC it doesn’t have Bluetooth .

          Having two screens for stuff would be better handled on the renderer’s side with OBS and screen overlays. Unless you are talking about two seperate streams at the same time? (eg: one from your PC at home and another from your Xbox)

    At the risk of sounding stupid: Would it be possible to turn it into a device that streams games from your computer?

      Of course. If they can get a PSP emulator running, a streaming client is even easier.
