PSP 1001 or PSP Go? (lemmy.world)

I have both of these handhelds and am trying to decide which to get rid of and which to keep for emulation. The Go already has custom firmware and a 128gb SD card but it loses connection from time to time because of a poorly connected ribbon cable. The 1001 is on stock firmware and needs a new battery.

I would do the 1000, has less ram and storage but unless you have small hands it is much easier to hold. The PSP is small to begin with, the Go made it worse by putting the buttons less than an inch apart.

3000 was the best in my opinion.

Keep the 1000. Easier to find parts for. There's an IPS screen mod out for it. Could do a big battery mod. CFW is easy to put on there.
