Without any guilt I can declare that Love live on the vita is pure unredeemable kusoge.
Same console that has project diva, taiko, IA VT, and Miracle girls. All of which are great.
Btw does anyone know if Michael jackson experience is any good? Im curious
the only thing my 3g vita is missing is the psvsd adapter so i can put my micro sd card in the sim slot instead of occupying the game slot. my vita came with a japanese copy of edf3 portable and now i want to collect physical copies of vita games.
Both my Vita and my Deck get a lot of use. I tend to just play Lumines and Dissidia on it, those are my comfy games, but I have a lot of other stuff I didnt touch yet, like Soul Sacrifice.
Bought mine for like 20usd when everyone was hating on it back in like 2013, best portable of all time, only upped by the PS2 as a main console.
And I say this as a nintendogay lol.

Yeah, I want to do the same so the game card slot could be freed up and that I could use physical games too. Since we probably won't ever get a dedicated Sony handheld again, I think it'll be worth it to collect physical vita games for the novelty of it.
Right now I have a psvsd and the extension cable, but I'm looking for a 3g vita that's in good condition and for a good price.
>collect physical
good luck man, market's been fricked for years by LRG and youtubers. still some cheap stuff but most games were at msrp or above when I dropped out in 2021.

I did the psvsd mod to a 3g I bought last year. While it is nice I’ve had a lot of issues with the system crashing when I leave it in rest mode. When it crashes I have to then remount the drive and rebuild the database after a reset, a bit of a pain. I’m actually thinking I might just switch back to using the game slot as I haven’t been able to find a good workaround. I’ve searched the issue many times and can’t seem to find anything. Just wanted to give you a heads up before you spend a lot of money.
people who bought the vita tv at launch got so unbelievably scammed. you arent allowed to play part of the games because frick you and they could have just put the fricking hdmi port on the vita instead of a moronic abomination mini usb port that doesn't do anything. i heard that at some point you could get a used vita tv for basically nothing but now they are more expensive than a 3g vita.
I saw them on GameStop's website for $30 for awhile, but they listed it as a PS4 accessory so I thought you had to connect it to one of those and didn't bother looking further than that. Eventually I bought a PS4 and figured I'd get one so I could play my Vita library on the TV only to find out that I could have been doing that all along and by then the PSTV price had skyrocketed.
Reminder that the Vita's failure was cemented by a stupid advertising lawsuit that barred them from marketing the console in any meaningful capacity. Some ~~*lawyer*~~ went after them because of the way a commercial was edited and instead of recognizing that it was clearly abridged to fit in a 30sec ad or whatever the judge ruled against Sony.
i never heard anything about an advertising lawsuit, i know sony shit themselves in the pants with their shithead urge to push proprietary bullshit like that horrific usb port on the 1000 that only uses 7 out of the 30 or so connector pins and of course the overpriced vita cards that you had to buy because they deadass didnt give you any internal storage (the psp go had 16gb and let you use third party memory sticks)
What pissed me off most about the memory cards wasn't that they were insanely expensive, but that they're so unreliable for how expensive they are. I've owned two memory cards and both had issues reading fairly frequently.
Anyway, about that lawsuit
https://kotaku.com/sonys-original-vita-ads-were-misleading-says-us-govern-1663236456
Pretty much all advertising for the console and its games ceased after this, likely because they knew they were already under crosshairs.
get the udcd plugin, plug your vita in your computer and launch obs and add the vita as a video capture device. 864x488 is the resolution you want for 60fps, it can output 720p but it wont reach 30. right click the obs preview and enable fullscreen projector (preview)
sound is fricky to get working. you need to connect the vita's headphone jack to your pc's mic hole. from there you can enable listening to the mic device in windows sound settings, or add it as a mic/aux in obs and enable monitoring. you will probably hear electrical interference noise, switch to different usb ports on your pc until theres less of it, set the sound on your vita to max and maybe try a noise suppression filter in the audio mixer.
Its a complicated setup but it works. if your phone supports video output, you can use it as a middleman for outputting to your tv. use a usb webcam app (nExt Camera is the best i found) and connect the vita's headphone jack to a speaker. also get a plugin for connecting a bluetooth controller (ds4vita, ds3vita, there's another for xbox) and revita plugin so you can change controller keybinds.
Thanks
Does this work on Vita 2000s? I know Vita 1000 has a proprietary port but 2000 has mini USB and when I use it with vitashell it's still slow as frick >you need to connect the vita's headphone jack to your pc's mic hole
Where do I buy a 3.5mm output to input adapter? Extenders are easy to find but unless they reverse the wiring inside you can't actually get any input from 3.5mm mic ports
it does work on both 1000/3g and 2000, just make sure your vita's usb port isnt messed up and wont disconnect if you lightly touch it; had that issue with my 2000 and then completely fricked the micro usb port through soldering and now it wont charge at all.
3.5mm output to input adapter? just use an aux cable - use it to connect your vita's headphone output hole to your computer's mic input hole. if your pc has a headphone and mic combo jack, try a splitter or a dedicated microphone amplifier or something like that (you can get cheap usb DACs for headphones, i imagine there is a microphone equivalent)
pic rel is my setup
Not him. Just wanted to say that if audio noise is a problem you can get a 3.5mm noise filter which should do the job. I worked with my Switch at least
Thanks, will give it a try >had that issue with my 2000 and then completely fricked the micro usb port through soldering and now it wont charge at all.
It's not your fault, mini USB is known to loosen and have bad connections over time, hence why USB C was invented
it has psp hardware and through Adrenaline emulator you can play psp and ps1 games as if they are on original hardware. sadly you cant increase rendering resolution.
i have tried out a GBA emulator called UO hpSP kai and it runs my fire emblem really well.
there is a wiki for emulation on a vita if you are interested:
https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Emulators_on_Vita
>gpsp fork
Just use mGBA via retroarch, it's more compatible and accurate. Ignore what this wiki says about the framerate, that only ever happens when transparencies are filling the screen ex Mario 3's underwater levels
Mostly as a PSP OLED but yeah. Disappointed in the system honestly. NoPayStation loses its luster when there's nothing worth pirating but Ninja Gaiden ports and PS2 SCIE collections.
My 3DS and an R4 card sit in one of those charge cradles on my desk. Still a great system, it's so easy to hack that you may as well do that instead of emulating if you've got one laying around.
Is there an easy way to disable or adjust the back touchscreen for moonlight so it's not a game killer? I got mine in a few days ago and have mostly been using it as a pc remote play device. I tried experimenting with the settings and I got genshin to work fine-ish but some steam games I've tried still freak the frick out if I so much as graze the back screen.
Besides that though I still have yet to try any actual "vita games" on the thing. Or psp games. Just some minor testing here and there. Don't really feel like playing any either. Honestly I think sony had the right idea just using it to remote play games it wouldn't otherwise be able to from bed
The best one is by HORI, but you won't find one for a sane price anymore. The generic one you see everywhere is acceptable for what it is. Just don't pay more than $30 since they're all identical.
Both my Vita and my Deck get a lot of use. I tend to just play Lumines and Dissidia on it, those are my comfy games, but I have a lot of other stuff I didnt touch yet, like Soul Sacrifice.

Bought mine for like 20usd when everyone was hating on it back in like 2013, best portable of all time, only upped by the ps2 as a main console.
And I say this as a nintendogay lol.
Would take a photo but it's chaging so maybe later if thread still up!
Yesterday I turned it on for the first time in like three years and I'm starting a Tactics Ogre playthrough. Hope I have the patience to do the post-story this time around. Once the level scaling kicks in the grinding becomes insane.
I'm not even really sure what to play on it. Nothing stands out as super interesting to me or I've already played the game elsewhere. I shouldn't have picked mine up when I have trouble even starting games right now but it seemed like as good of a time as any
My right stick stopped working for some reason. The console was boxed away in the cupboard for like 2 months, do they do that, just randomly stop working after a certain time in storage? It was absolutely fine before that
My left stick randomly has an up input even when I don't touch it, I think the sticks bug out after a certain amount of time like other modern controllers, gotta replace it
>can it run ps2 games?
No. And it's a no-go for Dreamcast and N64 as well. The latter 2 have emulators, but the performance isn't good enough to suggest using them.
Since I got it on PC, I've been thinking of just selling my copy. It is commendable that Capcom got a port of that on the Vita to run just about perfectly.
I've played about 80 games on vita
have about 20 more I want to play
not counting all the psp/ps1/etc
many games are multiplatform but I never had a ps3 and I prefer playing on a handheld console
>playstation content manager is still the better option for screenshot copying even in the post-cfw environment
why the frick does the system allocate screenshots to random folders in the nand? it's not even by game or by date, it's just scrambled
thankfully there is a plugin called rescreeny that sorts them where they should be. it puts all psp emulator screenshots in the same folder but its better than the moron scrambling. also did you know that the system theme background music is in at9 format? you need a special command line tool to convert to it which is a pain
>Decide to try the borderlands 2 port >Lag spikes and breakups during just the intro cutscene >Set the cpu to 555 >Game runs perfectly even in combat
Seriously how and why did sony frick the vita over so hard? It is unbelievable how underclocked it is natively. How many games run like shit on it for no reason at all?
I got mine from Lukiegames for 130$ last week. It was 120$ about 2 weeks before I bought it. It went up to 140$ the next day after I bought mine. The price varies beyond that thanks to even worse scalping. I don't feel super ripped off though. It's a good handheld that's worth around 120-130 imo. You could get it anywhere between 90-200$ from individual sellers with varying quality. 120-140$ is a sort of standard price from trustworthy sellers for good quality ones without any underlying issues or damage.

Forgot to mention you'll want to factor in the price of an sd2vita and micro sd which is an extra 20$ or so depending on how much storage you want and the L2 R2 grip is around 30$ more if you want the QoL upgrade it brings. Once you add in taxes a little over 200$ is what you'll probably spend on the whole package. Not terrible considering what it can actually do but the "smart" decision would be to just save up for a steam deck
Nope. I do play my PSP almost everyday, however. PS1 games look like shit on the Vita, not to mention the PSP's battery last an eternity if compared to the other device.
I'm not going to lie, most of the ports sucking ass and the surprisingly low yet still noticeable lag on moonlight soured me on the console, but I've been having lots of fun with the Persona rhythm games and Freedom Wars. Well, when the latter isn't shoving loading screens and generic dialogue down your throat that is
Currently using it to play Persona 1 and using Moonlight to stream Shanghai.EXE. Wanted to play the SM64 port, but it keeps crashing at the level where you bring the snowman its head.

I think each version only has like 4 unique songs, rest are shared. 20 or less in total. And there are literal magic seals from castlevania dawn of sorrow in the gameplay. The story takes like 90 minutes and is based of the anime, and the models look Weird especially the hands.

Yeah, scalper bots were camping all the online stores the last few years so I gave up on a english set and just pirated the rest. Already got all the weebshit I wanted and just ignored the indie shovelware
Thankfully everything’s being ported to Switch. Once Vanillaware ports Odin Sphere and Muramasa, I might just sell mine.
Why are westerners like this? I can pick up tons of JP Vita games for under 500 yen each

I like my Vita TV. I booted it up to play Alundra not too long ago. Sure I could emulate somewhere else but Vita TV is comfy.
people who bought the vita tv at launch got so unbelievably scammed. you arent allowed to play part of the games because frick you and they could have just put the fricking hdmi port on the vita instead of a moronic abomination mini usb port that doesn't do anything. i heard that at some point you could get a used vita tv for basically nothing but now they are more expensive than a 3g vita.
Yeah I got one when Amazon was selling them bundled with a Dualshock for ~$50.
I saw them on GameStop's website for $30 for awhile, but they listed it as a PS4 accessory so I thought you had to connect it to one of those and didn't bother looking further than that. Eventually I bought a PS4 and figured I'd get one so I could play my Vita library on the TV only to find out that I could have been doing that all along and by then the PSTV price had skyrocketed.
Reminder that the Vita's failure was cemented by a stupid advertising lawsuit that barred them from marketing the console in any meaningful capacity. Some ~~*lawyer*~~ went after them because of the way a commercial was edited and instead of recognizing that it was clearly abridged to fit in a 30sec ad or whatever the judge ruled against Sony.
i never heard anything about an advertising lawsuit, i know sony shit themselves in the pants with their shithead urge to push proprietary bullshit like that horrific usb port on the 1000 that only uses 7 out of the 30 or so connector pins and of course the overpriced vita cards that you had to buy because they deadass didnt give you any internal storage (the psp go had 16gb and let you use third party memory sticks)

no, I forgot my backpack at highschool one day 9 years ago and someone stole it.
Yes
Not lately but I did buy a copy of black ops declassified at a gamestop not too long ago.
Sure do. Was playing initial d for ps1 a couple days ago.
Vita's probably one of the most worthwhile systems to put cfw on.
I put cfw on it 2 months ago and it's pretty crazy what it is able to emulate.
What can it emulate? Assume it can't handle PS2 but anything earlier?
it has psp hardware and through Adrenaline emulator you can play psp and ps1 games as if they are on original hardware. sadly you cant increase rendering resolution.

I only have PSP but i'm wondering how well does VITA emulate PS2 games?
It doesn't. Even the Switch is too weak to do it.
Ah that's a shame, theoretically shouldn't Switch be able to play PS2 games?
Nah, you need a fast CPU with multiple cores to run the good PS2 games.
It can obviously run PS2 games that are properly ported but emulating the PS2 itself takes a lot more power.
If we had all PS2 games decompiled we could probably get them running on Switch.
i do sometimes, but im quite certain the battery is going; is it easy to get a replacement battery these days bros?
Mostly as a PSP OLED but yeah. Disappointed in the system honestly. NoPayStation loses its luster when there's nothing worth pirating but Ninja Gaiden ports and PS2 SCIE collections.
Play Soul Sacrifice Delta. GOAT game.
Not really, my Vita tv collects dust while I play the PSP
I have a steamy deeck now. My vita and 3ds are dead to me

Get one of those L2/R2 back grips, it covers the back screen.
I've looked around and they all seem of questionable quality and design. Is there a brand or model that anons would recommend?
The best one is by HORI, but you won't find one for a sane price anymore. The generic one you see everywhere is acceptable for what it is. Just don't pay more than $30 since they're all identical.
closest you'll get to a high quality one is the joetsu electronics one for $40 on playasia
Yes but every since I got Steam Deck I just use it for some games that aren't on PC
Both my Vita and my Deck get a lot of use. I tend to just play Lumines and Dissidia on it, those are my comfy games, but I have a lot of other stuff I didnt touch yet, like Soul Sacrifice.
Here it is!

Slowly trying to clear the ridiculously long motorstorm artic edge campaign and replaying maverick hunter for the 30th time.
Occasionally when I feel like playing IA/VT Colorful or iM@S Must Songs.
I need to fix the thumbstick and get a new battery. But yeah, I was playing Spelunky nonstop last year.
I'm not even really sure what to play on it. Nothing stands out as super interesting to me or I've already played the game elsewhere. I shouldn't have picked mine up when I have trouble even starting games right now but it seemed like as good of a time as any
Welcome to every Vita owner's dilemma. Just load it up with PS1/PSP games and the PS2 anthologies like Ratchet & Clank
I mainly got mine for rhythm games and indies on the go. Same reason behind why I got a Switch.
Take a good look at its library, you'll find that there are a lot of hidden gems in there especially if you're a weeb too
Igavania players will love Ys8 and probably rabi ribi
Should I play the other ys games first or is there not much in the way of continuity?
Sorta
I have two (3G and a Slim)
Managed to pick up a Slim one for 20 that had a cracked screen and replaced it easily.
My right stick stopped working for some reason. The console was boxed away in the cupboard for like 2 months, do they do that, just randomly stop working after a certain time in storage? It was absolutely fine before that
My left stick randomly has an up input even when I don't touch it, I think the sticks bug out after a certain amount of time like other modern controllers, gotta replace it
I guess anything is possible. You could try contact cleaner to see if the behavior changes.
I played a little Deception IV last month, that was neat.
A modded Vita is unironically one of the greatest handhelds of all time. I fricking love this little thing so much. It's like a mini PS3
A Vita is my favorite handheld of all time, period.
how well does the PS Vita play emulated games, can it run ps2 games?
Not PS2 but everything before that
N64 varies, S/NES good, PSP/PS1 native, GBA and prior good
>can it run ps2 games?
No. And it's a no-go for Dreamcast and N64 as well. The latter 2 have emulators, but the performance isn't good enough to suggest using them.
Twewy has been ported so yeah
yep, TWEWY has been ported and it looks damn good on the vita's OLED screen
>TWEWY has been ported
When was this? Does it play well?
Play UMvC3.
Since I got it on PC, I've been thinking of just selling my copy. It is commendable that Capcom got a port of that on the Vita to run just about perfectly.
I've played about 80 games on vita
have about 20 more I want to play
not counting all the psp/ps1/etc
many games are multiplatform but I never had a ps3 and I prefer playing on a handheld console
vita gaymen with the Gankerbros~
>playstation content manager is still the better option for screenshot copying even in the post-cfw environment
why the frick does the system allocate screenshots to random folders in the nand? it's not even by game or by date, it's just scrambled
thankfully there is a plugin called rescreeny that sorts them where they should be. it puts all psp emulator screenshots in the same folder but its better than the moron scrambling. also did you know that the system theme background music is in at9 format? you need a special command line tool to convert to it which is a pain
Where's the best place to download pre-patched translated vita games?
Yes, I got back playing mine several months ago. Mine's mainly a VN machine but I recently started Neptune vs Sega Hard Girls.
I don't know about pre-patched but applying patches is relatively easy.
How much do they cost nowadays?
>Decide to try the borderlands 2 port
>Lag spikes and breakups during just the intro cutscene
>Set the cpu to 555
>Game runs perfectly even in combat
Seriously how and why did sony frick the vita over so hard? It is unbelievable how underclocked it is natively. How many games run like shit on it for no reason at all?
I got mine from Lukiegames for 130$ last week. It was 120$ about 2 weeks before I bought it. It went up to 140$ the next day after I bought mine. The price varies beyond that thanks to even worse scalping. I don't feel super ripped off though. It's a good handheld that's worth around 120-130 imo. You could get it anywhere between 90-200$ from individual sellers with varying quality. 120-140$ is a sort of standard price from trustworthy sellers for good quality ones without any underlying issues or damage.
Forgot to mention you'll want to factor in the price of an sd2vita and micro sd which is an extra 20$ or so depending on how much storage you want and the L2 R2 grip is around 30$ more if you want the QoL upgrade it brings. Once you add in taxes a little over 200$ is what you'll probably spend on the whole package. Not terrible considering what it can actually do but the "smart" decision would be to just save up for a steam deck
~120 bucks. Just buy a used one from Nippon.
I only have a PSP, Vita is way too expensive even today
>way too expensive
yeah idk 120 bucks for a good cond one or 100 for a normal fair one is decent for psp + vita libraries.
but hey i was a poorgay once too
Nope. I do play my PSP almost everyday, however. PS1 games look like shit on the Vita, not to mention the PSP's battery last an eternity if compared to the other device.
Can't own what doesn't exist.
What? It exists. I have it right he- what the frick where'd it go?
I'm not going to lie, most of the ports sucking ass and the surprisingly low yet still noticeable lag on moonlight soured me on the console, but I've been having lots of fun with the Persona rhythm games and Freedom Wars. Well, when the latter isn't shoving loading screens and generic dialogue down your throat that is
Just the vanillaware games
Everything else is shit or was ported off
RIP little vita, still glad I have 11 of them
Currently using it to play Persona 1 and using Moonlight to stream Shanghai.EXE. Wanted to play the SM64 port, but it keeps crashing at the level where you bring the snowman its head.
