Anyone still play MGS on the old handhelds?

[Dirty Duck]

Since we're talking about handheld Metal Gear games (and because I feel like necroposting), I might as well show off some of mine.

Big ass images:

My childhood Game Boy Color with a loose copy Metal Gear Ghost Babel Solid that I got in a flea market back in 2013 for $10 (they were going to throw it away because no one was interested if I recall correctly)



My rare Hylian Shield themed new 2DS XL that I got as a birthday present with Metal Gear Solid 3D (not pictured: my old red 3DS that I've put up)



My Japanese PlayStation Vita 2000 model that I got from New Years Eve 2019 with my old copy of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Not pictured: my physical Peace Walker copy; probably still at my old place)


Used to have a PSP-1001, but I gave it to a family member as a birthday present (after replacing its old shell, screen, and battery; I still wanted to add games on it and I kind of want to replace the internal battery). I also don't have any of the AC!D games, sadly, though maybe I should grab them on the account that the PlayStation Store for the PS3 and Vita will close next year as of this post.

And lastly--because why not--my Steam Deck LCD (even though it's not THAT old) with my old copy of Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence

Ladies and gentlemen, the fat PSP-1000 has arrived with MGS Acid. Function tested every button and everything works perfectly. Thinking of giving it a good clean up, its quite dirty. Belonged to a lady called Ninni, she was so kind as to even include some of her hair into the package.

Question: Did you ever replace some components for your PSP? Like did you replace the old battery pack with one of those Ostent 2200mAh batteries? Did you replace the old dim screen with any IPS screen replacements? I know I did with my old one before I gave it away as a birthday gift.

Very jealous of your Ghost Babel copy! I know it's coming in Vol. 2 but I want to play that game on a Game Boy very badly as I have always loved the system and it feels wrong to not experience a Metal Gear game released on it on the original hardware. I try and find listings of people who don't know what they have...but unfortunately only find the opposite-people who think they have a real Game Boy game when it's obviously fake:
