Emulation is nice and all, but when it comes to handhelds or pre-PS1 consoles it just feels better playing on official hardware. I know the term has just become a meme here, but it genuinely feels more soulful.
>Hacked my PS Vita to play PS1 and PSP games >Adrenaline keeps showing black screen >Now it says I don't have some PSP thingie so can't even install it anymore >Stuck with PS Vita's shitty library
I paid a pajeet 75 bucks for nothing and the useless fella doesn't know how to download PS1 games. Worst buyer's remorse since Wii U.
By the time I clear my vita backlog, Vita3k will be able to run every game on it.
The portability is occasionally nice to have, but I don't really like playing on it otherwise.
I bought everything I cared about before piracy existed, and after it happened literally everything on Vita but 3 games I cared about got ported to other platforms where they look and run better so there's no reason to.
For larger memory cards you have to set the allocated unit size to...64? Either 64 or 32.
I have a 400gb.
Also clean the connectors for your adapter and if that doesnt work, get a new one.
The only annoying thing about modding the Vita is getting SD2Vita to work if you don't wanna deal with Sony's memory card bullshit, but that also required buying an SD2Vita. They're like $8 though.
When my VITA stopped playing any game for longer than 15 seconds, forced me to log into my PS3 to generate a code, all so I could download the official update, then I considered jailbreaking the fricking thing.

Follow this to the letter and it's easy. You only risk bricking it if you downgrade the firmware to run a permanent Enso installation, and even that's pretty rare. Modded 3 Vita's using this guide, even downgraded the firmware on 2 of 'em.
Yes, if you just want a small amount of games you don't need to install Enso and can just use Henkaku, the only downside to Henkaku is you have to enable it every time you boot the Vita.
Any good guide on how to use pkjg to get games from the psn store? I have it downloaded but I also see people mention some autopatcher app.
There's two.
https://www.cfwaifu.com/pkgj/
https://www.cfwaifu.com/nopaystation/
Those guides are slightly outdated though and there are easier methods now. NoPayStation is the best way to get the games, you can either download them from your PC or install the pkgj file from their github, install it on your Vita, and download straight from your Vita, The games aren't cracked, so they won't launch by default since you don't own them. You can fix this by installing AutoPlugin 2 on your Vita, it's a tool that lets you select and download various patches and it'll automatically install them for you. The one you need from it to run pirated shit is NoNpDrm. Side note, Jesus frick this is the longest post I've ever made on Ganker.
I sat on one for years with the Japanese cartridges of Cyber Sleuth, Hacker's Memory, -next 0rder- and Full Body.
Recently sold it since the shitty ass Soup Tablet has all of those games in English.
Mine has charger burn and multiple little dot burn-ins whenever the screen is black
I like the form factor of the Vita and how easily hackable it is, but man, it feels lacking in most other departments.
I have the same Vita and also chipped the edge. It slipped out of my pocket when I was getting in a car and hit concrete, I guess I'm lucky the only damage is a chip on the edge.
Because I'm not a manchild taking video games outside of the home, I hacked my PSTV
>I hacked my PSTV
Imagine paying money for homconsole that can do everything a ps3 can but worse and feel smug about it
i hacked it and still do frick all with it
i will say that i am very disappointed that i needed to install custom firmware for something as simple as disabling the screen dimming
Finally did last month after sitting on my Vita SD card for years.
My deck emualtes vita
Fake.
>he doesn't know

Okay, but how does it run? There literal are morons here who think N64 emulation before 2019 was good.
pretty much fullspeed but the audio is still glitched
ick it
'ig on 'eck
I dont want to get banned :((
Can you just a regular SD card yet?
Yes but you have to buy a chinese adapter for the cartridge slot or another kind for replacing 3g modem if you have one.
Yeah, but you need an adapter (which costs like 7 bucks)
>Thinking I have a vita
I bought a vita, hacked it, put games on it and now it's sat in its case for 2 years

Those issues really sound like you not knowing how to follow directions to hack it yourself and not trouble shooting.
Cracking consoles really shouldnt be for normies like this that treat it like its an official product

I go back to mine for GBA emulation.
I bought everything I cared about before piracy existed, and after it happened literally everything on Vita but 3 games I cared about got ported to other platforms where they look and run better so there's no reason to.
i can't find anything i want to play on it
>have PS+
>Gravity Rush on sale that one time for 99 french fries
>can't buy it because have it from PS+
Yeah you can, sony finally fixed this issue.
When my time machine gets out of the shop I'll travel back to when GR was 99c.
I couldn’t get my SD card to be read by the Vita and when I tried to format it it somehow only had 14gb of space (it was 256)
256 according to?
Did you buy it on Amazon or ebay? If so double check it somewhere else, you could have gotten a fake that's actually only 16GBs.
For larger memory cards you have to set the allocated unit size to...64? Either 64 or 32.
I have a 400gb.
Also clean the connectors for your adapter and if that doesnt work, get a new one.
Bro, it has like maybe 2 or 3 games at best.
I'll just wait 5 years for an emulator. Nothing this console has is worth the hardware cost.
Anything of value got ported to PC or Switch.
Alright, I'll get my dusty ass vita from a closet somewhere. I heard that you just need to use the web browser now, is that true?
I remember it being fairly easy, just a bit time consuming.
The only annoying thing about modding the Vita is getting SD2Vita to work if you don't wanna deal with Sony's memory card bullshit, but that also required buying an SD2Vita. They're like $8 though.
Well I found it, but not the fricking proprietary charging cable.
When my VITA stopped playing any game for longer than 15 seconds, forced me to log into my PS3 to generate a code, all so I could download the official update, then I considered jailbreaking the fricking thing.
it seems very involved and difficult to pull off without extensive knowledge. im scared i might break the thing.

i heard about using internal memory to install like 2gb of games? can i do that without bricking
Yes, if you just want a small amount of games you don't need to install Enso and can just use Henkaku, the only downside to Henkaku is you have to enable it every time you boot the Vita.
There's two.

>Almost every theme is now lost forever
Install Custom Themes Manager my guy, thousands of 'em on there and some official ones.
The site where you download them from is gone because the author put all his eggs in one basket.
You can use plugins now to play any game on a PSTV right? How well do things work?
Works fine, the left/right stick emulate touching the front/back screen
I have several hacked vitas and they're all dope af. My three goto devices are the Xperia Play, Vita, and Steam Deck
>stumbled and dropped my vita, leaving a very small scratch in the screen
It's over
Mine has charger burn and multiple little dot burn-ins whenever the screen is black
I like the form factor of the Vita and how easily hackable it is, but man, it feels lacking in most other departments.
Mine has always had that weird IPS black bits, but the screen was always fine. Ironically, I had taken the screen protector off to clean it.
I dropped my Vita a long time ago. Unfortunately it was in its case.
>the case
Chipped the edge.
I have the same Vita and also chipped the edge. It slipped out of my pocket when I was getting in a car and hit concrete, I guess I'm lucky the only damage is a chip on the edge.
I haven't finished a single game out of the ones I stole after I hacked it.
Hell I didn't even play the games I've bought.
I did, but there's nothing to play
I think the 2K is comfier to hold but I prefer my 1K because I have the 3G SD card adapter and I can still use the slot for my physical games
