I Bought a “Junk” PSP From Japan: Here’s How It Went

I do miss the PSP. It was my "cellphone" as I had a talk only limited plan with my family. I would use it like the old Ipod, downloading music and videos to show my friends. I even downloaded fake Win7 to play on the browser. We would use Skype and talk over the internet since it was free.
I do miss spending all summer with my best friend Joe and my younger brother playing MPO(+) and Peace Walker, which we all sank 200+ hours into. We would then team up as a hunting party in MHFU, killing monsters over and over.
The demo and free game scene was great! I played tons of demos, discovering many solid titles: Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do to Deserve This? Pixlejunk Monsters, Patapon, LocoRoco. I didn't even get to dive into the homebrew scene either.
To wrap up a school night, I would sure the internet with it (and then eventually connect it to the PS3 to game or surf the web since it was faster than the PSP browser) watching South Park.
Man, I miss handheld gaming (mobile gaming doesn't count) and the Switch/2 doesn't get that itch that the PSP and DS fixed.
For your use case steam deck or something similar would be a modern way to do what you did
