A minidisc player. I have a low-end one I bought back in the day. Bu the time I could afford nicer stuff, minidiscs were already obsolete, and the nicer hardware was actually more expensive than it was when it was relevant.

Back in 2002-2006 or so I had what was either a portable cd player that had 3 minute or 300 second anti skip protection and could also play burnt mp3s. For a short time before ipods took off I was making all the other kids jelly with my jog proof setup. Or jealous enough that it was eventually stolen. Because of that I am not sure what brand it was but I've been looking for anything similar on ebay but it seems like every cd player maxes out at 60 seconds. I didn't know how good I had it until I didn't.

You can format plain Minidiscs with the same file system and use them in place of the high capacity ones. The high capacity discs died off pretty fast.

Sony always made laptops that I thought looked good. That said, the internals never justified the price they asked.

The can keep the exterior and pull a similar machine today way more powerful but... Sony.
>>
>>61894918
Well, Sony sold their PC division a few years back. Vaio is still around, but it isn't Sony-owned anymore.

That said, I will say that if you're just looking for a modular budget laptop, old Vaios aren't that bad. I picked up one for 80 bucks, replaced the sound board for 30, the motherboard for 30, the battery for 20, doubled the RAM to 8GB for 30, and upgraded the i3 to an i5 for 40. Pretty fucking good, all things considered, especially when an Elitebook wound up costing closer to 500.

That said, the Elitebook, while not as sylish, has superior build quality.
>>
>>61894158
True. But, to the best of my knowledge, you still need a Hi-MD recorder/player for that, and those are rarer and pretty expensive. Plus, the re-formatted discs will then no longer work in older players, either.

i had one of these. it broke in that the shoulder buttons simply stopped working. I thought maybe dirt got into them so I opened them and cleaned the buttons. It still didnt work. I tried over riding the buttons and it still didn't work. The problem was within an Integrated Chip and not the buttons. This happened within a year so I was able to replace it under manufacturers warranty. Got a new one, about a year later the exact same thing happened. By then they where no longer being produced or sold anymore. I just gave up on it. Worthless piece of trash for a nintendo product.

I have Pandora #641.

I waited 3 years for it to come to me.

Then I used it maybe 2hrs. There's like 60mb RAM free and the OS runs like shit.

The hinge was purposely made shitty due to Nintendo patents so the locked open state isn't suitable for games, and it's either full open or full close.

Then my LCD cable failed like all the others from the first batch. Never bothered sending it in and getting the repair so it sits in a drawer as a relic of broken dreams.

I wish I sold mine on eBay for $1000 when I had the chance.

Oh wow, I definitely recognize those headphones that came with it, but the player itself is different. I always thought it was an RCA. I'm positive it was 3+ minutes since I remembered it would read ahead then stop spinning for 2 minutes at a time to save power with regular CDs, not just mp3s. According to https://www.amazon.com/RCA-RP2480-Portable-MP3-Player/dp/B000093UQE it would be 45 seconds max. Thank you kindly for replying.

>>61908174
I have one of those and it is so dated it is not even worth it. The controller is really cramped, the buttons are very awkward to use. The trackpad-analog-things are kinda trash. It can emulate up to PS1 great, and N64 emulation is tolerable, but considering the plethora of other devices you can emulate on, it is hard to recommend today. It has a single core processor at a time where that was just barely cutting it, and about 400MB of usable RAM, so anything above Gingerbread is a no-go unless you like shit crashing all the time. It's neat to whip out and have people go like "Oh yeah I saw that thing once!" and to remind them of the N-Gage.

But hey, the R800x models are $40 on eBay so if you wanna drop a pittance to tinker with a neat product of the time, go ahead. I unfortunately got the ATT one, so I cannot unlock the bootloader, but I was able to install CWM and flash a custom ROM just fine. I say Gin2KitKat is a good ROM to flash, it is gingerbread but has all the aesthetics of KitKat. Is easy on the RAM and very stable. PSXperia is used to convert PS1 ISOs from the Crash Bandicoot app it ships with, but I can't get it to work. Other Android PS1 emulators work very well though.

I share the same sentiment for newer technology. I'm not a big fan of the over marketed gimmicks that flood modern markets.

However, I still like rare older technology that is hard to get. I don't pride myself on being a collector because I have a hard time owning anything I am not using so that stops me from buying a lot of things.

For me nowadays it's really all about being useful, or rather being used even if the benefit it would bring me is small. I don't like the idea of buying something and sitting it on a shelf after 1 week of tinkering, or setting it up somewhere where it sits unused.

The oled ones are still cheaper than slim on eBay. I'd rather have the slim with lcd screen since the battery life is improved so much.

Make sure you get a vita with firmware version 3.60 or less. The newest updates blocked a lot of Homebrew functionality and no one is working on cracking them. Think, it took 4+ years to get this exploit, a new one won't just come out of thin air.

>>61922136
I see a few similar models on eBay for near $300. So it's out there, not a unicorn at least.

yeah, pretty much the same. electronics are also a pain to collect because they need special attention and conditions.

The fun part is getting rare hardware for cheap, playing around with it till you're tired, and then reselling

interesting, I though OLED would be better with battery. I guess they made some chipset changes

hopefully they stop updates so the community can focus dev on one firmware version

That firmware is 3.60, which I think is what comes in the box of the ps vita slim. Like I said, no one is working on anything beyond that version since those patches just block homebrew stuff

there's actually a ton of ancient greyscale LCD games/devices I'd like to have just to collect

I'm amazed that within such short time they went to from PoC to production. I'm ordering a Vita alongside one of those right now.

Get a non-ancient computer, hop it to your TV and use godly PCSX2.
>>
>>61888973
I want this thing too, that's my dream. Where I can buy it on Internet? (I'm from Russia)
>>
>>61922519
It has numerous JRPGs if you like those games. Of course the vast majority probably want it for the library of PS1/PS2 remakes/ports.
>>
>>61923172
PCSX2 isn't perfect though. At least the last time I tried it, I was getting graphical glitches in Persona 3/4.
>>
>>61923133
you need a 3.60 firmware to use a SD card .
>>
>>61922967
I wonder if you could jimmy rig a modern ITX system into that case.
>>
>>61923208
Not wrong. I tried P3/4 and had issues as well. Then again, is even PS3's PS2 emulation perfect?
>>

What are the best new-old (2005+) UMPCs? I got to play with >>61919957 at one point and it was pure disappointment.

It' was kind of ballsy of IBM to go with a design like that.

I'm pretty sure it had a flex-ATX mobo, so an ITX board would fit. You'd need a tiny PSU and a low-profile cooler but it could be done.
>>
>>61923246
It's ps1 emulation was bad. I tried Medal of Honor through my gen1 PS3 and it glitched out so hard it was unplayable. As in an entire levels textures didn't load.

When I was a teen the Virtual Boy came out and I saved for one, before it was known it was garbage, but then I had to use the money.
I still want one, though. Not even I know for sure why.
