There's no UMD disks in the picture for that PSP. So you've only got the one game thats in the unit.
Or it's modded and has every Nintendo game known to man installed.
I used to backup my UMDs to my MemoryStick SD adapter. Got way better battery life and faster load times. Also could overclock with the custom FW.
There is a carry case there, so they could be in that. But you only need lumines anyways.
I would need to find exact sources for it, but I believe PSP was the most hacked/modded console in history, to the point where Sony themselves actually mentioned it being an issue and hurting their bottom line (and possibly part of why their efforts with the Vita were short-lived).
Either way, chances are it had games aplenty, videos, movies, mangas and whatever else you could fit on there. I know that's what I kept on mine, it was pretty much my "smartphone" back then.
It was until the Wii! Way cooler scene though imo. "Smartphone before smartphones" is a great way to put it, I knew a guy who had his set up for navigation with an external gps antenna/car charger dock
The Vita was so insanely underrated. Having a Vita makes it a hacked PSP, too. The only use for having a PSP after that is for better buttons for DJMP.
The PSP memory (memory stick pro duo) wasn't as expensive as vita's because they were the same as the camera's and some other devices
