"PlayStation Portal Hacked to Run PSP Games Offline Using Emulator"

Google engineers have hacked the Sony PlayStation Portal to run PSP games locally by installing the PPSSPP emulator, allowing games to be played offline without streaming. The hack was done on a software level and does not involve tampering with the hardware, but there are no plans to release the hack to the public. The device, designed for Remote Play, has limited internal storage and is primarily a streaming-only solution, making its usefulness dependent on specific circumstances.

Inside the Sony PlayStation Portal: Unveiling the Qualcomm SG4150P Chip and 16.6 Wh Battery

A teardown of the Sony PlayStation Portal handheld gaming device reveals that it is not designed to be user repairable and features a Qualcomm SG4150P chip, Samsung LPDDR4x memory, and a 16.6 Wh battery. The SG4150P processor is speculated to be a budget chip from Qualcomm's new Snapdragon G1 or G2 series processors designed for handheld gaming devices. While the Portal's operating system is Android-based, it is unclear how well the processor can handle anything other than the default Sony software. The device works as promised for streaming games from a PlayStation 5 console, but hacking the system to load third-party apps or games may be challenging.
