wassup I now own both PSP Cradles, AMA
the true home cinema experience, ideal for watching ワイルド・スピードX2 (Wild Speed X2)
I had to test and yes, you can indeed play games with the PSP’s IR Remote. Given it can send only one button at a time, I wouldn’t recommend it though… pulling off Ratchet’s Hyper Strike (Jump then Square) was difficult enough haha
here’s the furthest point you can get to in Crash 2 with an IR remote without the “load game” skip or just quitting to the warp room
thanks for watching my crash bandicoot 2 (any%, single input at a time) speedrun, this is a world record of about eight minutes
you might get away with Transport Tycoon (PS1) with this setup but then you’d be playing Transport Tycoon (PS1)
@cat is the right part an universal TV remote? that's pretty cool
(p.s. yes, the PSP’s best video output option is both letterboxed and pillarboxed if you plug it into a modern TV. There’s a 16:9 mode but it’s *really* inconsistent and movies and games behave differently from each other either way)
