Vita Thread

Theres an okay amount, but far from what I'd call a lot. The varying quality in ports also drags the number down as well. Borderlands 2 in particular is a complete shitfest that's near unplayable.

>The only appeal left for me is the ability to easily play PS1 games on it, but even the original PSP allowed for that before the store shut down.
Exactly. I had access to a hacked PSP before the Vita was even a thing, so while it being a portable PS1 is nice, I found it irrelevant. The second analog sticks made some games more accessible, and even improved some PSP games like Metal Gear Portable Ops, but hardly what I'd call a selling point or defining feature.

The Vita is so underwhelming, and I'm not happy about that.

Nah, it's best with both pstv and vita. For the cross save and play.

I've been playing helldivers and borderlands 2 with ps4 users lately.

The switch is what the vita should have been.

I just picked up the show 14 for 8 bucks at gamestop, the show 15 is like 30 bucks on ebay, fuck that. Why doesn't EA have it on the vita store?

It's cool 2k updated borderlands 2 years after its release on vita.
Still, it's best played with an overclocked vita

Vita is the best handheld ever

My SD2Vita is giving me shit, but I managed to downgrade both of my Vitas, and the one that has my PSN shit and physical games is still packing 16GB of free space. About to get Cytus on there and finally play it again. There's a sale on some rhythm games, and I'm thinking of chipping into that as well.

I don't have a recent picture, so here.

what the fuck

I don't know if I can do that. I'm pretty bad at video games. Is is something that can only be enjoyed if played on the highest difficulty or would normal mode be better for a noob?

You can achieve okay results just by editing the eboot to lower the res and modify the graphical settings a bit

The internet is quite literally standing in front of you with a pair of thick thighs waiting to be spread to reveal its sopping wet mound of knowledge.

Find out how to do it and do it, you'll be happy that you did.

Not gonna post a picture, but it would have Hotline Miami or Iconoclasts on it.

>Playing NInja Gaiden on the highest difficulty when you don't even know how to play
Yeah, that's retarded.

Why does the Vita compress the fuck out of wallpapers? Its infuriating.

I don't know how Gravity Rush was terrible, at worst it should be average. Though what personally hooked me to the Vita was WipeOut 2048, and really enjoyed TxK and Soul Sacrifice. Other games are Vita versions with some additional content like Muramasa Rebirth or EDF 2017 which I enjoyed a ton online. Then of course Romancing SaGa 2. Waiting on the RS3 remaster to hit.

those are some fine looking buds, mate. Enjoy

How'd you put those psx games on the home screen? They just show up in adrenaline for me.

Mine ain't hacked. 3.70

You buy them.

t. has never actually bought a PS1 game and installed it to his Vita

If it had a persona 5 and maybe some of the PS2 SMT's like nocturne it would have been literally the greatest handheld of all time.
I wish konami came through with that MGS4 port/remake though, so you can play through all the original series on one system, but oh well.

Still holding out for a reicast port, I think with overclocking it can at least handle SA 1 and 2.
There's a bunch of PS1 games that need analog support that the PSP doesn't have, like ace combat 3 (theres an eboot of the translated version floating around)

Because the game industry is ran by fat cats at the head of organisations who basically have absolutely no idea what people want and what would be successful. The vita could have easily been a success by brokering deals for enhanced ps2 ports, scaled down ps3 ports and exclusive games. They fucked it right up after the initial launch wave of games and lost any small amount of momentum they had. The ridge racer port was a rush job. The wipeouts needed longer to sort the loading times. Hell, when borderlands 2 arrived (which was a great idea on paper) it was a broken shitty port. There are many examples of this sort of shit.

>>Still holding out for a reicast port, I think with overclocking it can at least handle SA 1 and 2.
I don't see why they couldn't port the PSN versions to Vita. I doubt they'd have to downgrade it that much to make it work well.

>3.68
Is it possible to mod a Vita in this state?

>The vita could have easily been a success by brokering deals for enhanced ps2 ports
I thought ports were what made people dismiss the thing to begin with?
I think so? I haven't tried to, because I've got enough shenanigans to deal with.

the JSR port is great, SEGA is retarded.
The vita didn't get a single original sonic game, even the 3DS got shit (generations was ok though, it had Heroes special stages).
Why the FUCK did the vita not at least get a mania port? Still mad.

I bought a vita, hacked it and realized it has literally no games and retroarch is pretty shit for SNES.
What do I put on this thing?

no. the vita can only read one of them as the "memory card". you can still use the other one to store roms on.

snes9x 2005 has run every single game I've thrown at it just fine, including translated SMT, DQ and FE games. The only game that needed an overclock was kirby 3, but it's one of the harded SNES games to run anyway, and it run full speed with the overclock.
ah gotcha, guess I'll have to backup my saves then.

>retroarch is pretty shit for SNES
use the 2005 core, go into core settings and turn reduce slowdown to max. most games will run fullspeed.

there are are few games (SMRPG, DQ5, FF6) that don't run fullspeed in the 2005 core, use the 2002 core instead, I don't recommend it for all games because of some minor graphical glitches.

I just got the Breaker Edition of GE3. Had the original, but didnt wanna pony up $60 of SEA dollars to get the DLC. This was cheaper

Don't confuse bad ports no one wants with decent ports that would be popular. They fucked up gran turismo on PSP. Why not port over a fully fledged GT at launch. What about a perfect ridge racer collection or something new that could run at fucking 60fps. What about a tekken or Soul Calibur? Street fighter IV like the 3ds did but a fucking perfect port? They did mvc3 and fucking sf vs tekken but not sfIV? That's what I'm on about. Fucking stupid.

DQ5 ran full speed with 2005 for me. latest dejap version at stock clocks.
the white one is my main vita (it's in the "worst" shape). I impulse bought 4 vitas, 3 small N3DS, 3 N3DS XLs, 3 DSis and 2 DSI XLs, because I realized prices were gonna shoot up on the vitas and 3DS once they stopped being made.

Perfect GBA emulation on Vita when? My go to test has been the intro of FFVI with the burning logo.

>I thought ports were what made people dismiss the thing to begin with?
The Vita is one system that would have highly benefited from ports. The pick up and play wherever aspect of a handheld would fare well to a great many of ps2 games that require a large investment of time to complete.
Being able to put the system into sleep mode at any point in a game is great too.

I think this is why Switch owners seem so desperate for ports. They have the option to not only play it in a traditional setting, but to take it with them as well.

Playing through Tyrian 2000 right now.

Is there a single one where the vita version is as good as the PC/PS4 version? I own ys 8 but I keep hearing that I shouldn't bother playing it because the new versions improve things.

>DQ5 ran full speed with 2005 for me
I encountered some slowdown during certain events, such as the ship entering and leaving port, and at the start of battles.

>I impulse bought 4 vitas, 3 small N3DS, 3 N3DS XLs, 3 DSis and 2 DSI XLs

Anyone know any good bullet hells for vita?

I know most of you don't buy games, but if you're a buyfag then there's a small sale on PSN: store.playstation.com/en-us/grid/STORE-MSF77008-GREATINDOORSGG/1?direction=asc&platform=vita&sort=name

Probably the best deal is Mary Skelter for 80% off since that game is rare as fuck now.

Pretty sure ridge racer vita was 60 fps, but it was nuracer with stupid nitro shit and it had like 20% of the content of the PSP games.
RRT4 is still the GOAT RR.
I agree though, every company shat on the vita even though it's literally the perfect console-power handheld and much better executed than the swtich.
Early on it got plenty of great ports though.
You can play the entire rayman series on the vita for example, same with Ys, every persona game up to 4, MGS 1,2,3,PO,PW, all the sly games etc.
Also has a ton of original games.
try VBA next through retroarch with a full overclock with lolicon. I didn't try FFVI but golden sun ran great.

Are you using nightlies? also overclocking would probably fix any slowdown.
Hoarding. I don't have a single PC that can handle emulating MGS3 so the vita is pretty dear to me.
the 3ds because it has GBA and DS hardware, the former is important to me because if you want a functional, backlight gba with a good flashcart these days you're shelling out at least $200.
The one time I early adopted something was the OG DS, and while I loved the thing the lite had much better screens and I was salty as fuck. the DSi is basically a ds lite that can play games without a flashcart and they're stupid cheap on ebay.

1 runs fine on its own.
2 has slow down in some areas. Ninja run mode doesn't work at all.
This guys review is accurate and precisely what I experienced
m.youtube.com/watch?v=OEs_kmnWbc4

Overclocking it fixes the slow down.

I was an early adopter and I still forget the Vita exists sometimes, but when I do remember, I just look at it as a strange little beast. Over the years to term "under-powered" has been thrown around at systems that're relatively weak in their generation, but the irony with the Vita is that while it was a fairly powerful system for it's time, you have to go pretty far back to find a system with specs as unsuitable for it's purpose as the Vita. Sony just tried to will the Vita into punching above it's weight and being a full console on the go. Somewhere there's an alternative reality where the Vita is an amazing successor to the PSP and not the PS3's underachieving little brother but it wasn't to be for us. RIP.

i don't even own a vita and it just makes me pissed off that it never got actual good support like the original psp

It's because of all these choices I wanted to get a suggestion from vita users
I'll try that out.

Depends what you mean by "good support". First party? Not great. Third party? The Vita got more games than it deserved and its still getting games that it frankly, does not deserve. The third party support is great.

Yup, connecting to it via USB allows me to detect my pc however h-encore won't detect the vita and "go"

Gib wallpaper.

they work perfectly, just be aware you become a full time pirate when using one because it uses the game card slot, not the memory card slot.

Ridge Racer Vita makes an attempt at 60 but in practice it dips constantly. The two PSP games despite also having nitro shit all over it. Aside from looking slightly nicer it has absolutely nothing going for it and the UI is fucking terrible.

When you format it, use 64 allocated memory.

I keep seeing these threads, and i have some questions since im curious about the vita:

>What can I emulate with it?
>Is the music player any good?
>Can I put movies/tv/files etc on to it easily
>Is hacking difficult?

Search your local craigslist, shops like FUCKING GAMESTOP or Facebook market (I know, zucc and everything, but it's an option nevertheless). And if you see faggots asking more than 100 dollars for it, tell them to eat shit cuz no one will buy it for that much.

I'm a ruski and I bought Vita easily for $100 while searching local selling services, it was in mint condition, with charger and everything, on 3.65 ( = hackable), also it was with an official 16GB memory card and UMvC3 cartridge. Great deal, if you ask me. Really nice to play Danganronpa on the go.

But true. 64GB is a little small for game hoarders like me. 128GB should be enough
>What can you emulate
Fourth generation consoles and earlier. N64 has work on it. There's also ScummVM for point-and-click games
>Is the music player good?
Yeah, it's good. Playlist support and responsive
>Can I put movies/TV/files etc
Last I recall is that you need a .thp file CMA generates when bringing over a video file before you can put any other video file. Don't think Vitashell supports video files, yet. No MKV
>Is hacking difficult
Nah, it's easier than 3DS. Setup's about the same level as Switch, minus backing up your files

i don't know if this is worth it

Hard to say. I loved WipEout 2048, it is what got me hooked to my Vita. Favorite JRPG has to easily be Romancing SaGa 2. Velocity Ultra was a surprise to me and was highly addictive, and playing EDF 2017 with vitagen were some of the best multiplayer matches I've played. I liked Darkest Dungeon because I could chill in bed and play it.

loved playing danganronpa games and currently playing srw5 and chaos child

If the firmware is 3.69/3.70 (which are still unhackable) and/or he doesn't give any official memory cards, demand a price cut to at least $100.

The black Vita can be found pretty cheap but the white ones are usually sold at a premium, for some reason.

Be careful of the mura effect on the Vita though.

Anyone have any bad luck with overclocking? I've been wanting to do it but I really don't want to nuke my Vita.

Freedom Wars

Nah, it won't damage your Vita

mura is a non issue. You only see it in pitch black on a black screen.

So can I leave max overclocked as the default setting or is that just foolishness? I know it's not hard to swap it on and off, but it's still pretty fucking annoying to have to do it every time I swap programs.

You can, but when you do, change the Livearea and any system apps back to their default speed

pretty sure LOLIcon has an option to set the default overclock per-program

True.

When the game is loaded, you can save the settings for that game exclusively.

Vita games that run fine, you wont have to have it switched on.

>Fourth generation consoles and earlier. N64 has work on it. There's also ScummVM for point-and-click games

So no Ps1 or Psp workarounds?

Other than that, thank you. I'm sick of my phone, and I miss having an ipod, plus actual gaming on the go? Vita seems awesome

What screen options do you guys have for PSP mode? I already did the color registry thing.

You can play PSP and PS1 games just fine. I didn't count them because they're official, but use Adrenaline for PSP/PSX games. Don't know if AdrenalineBubbleManager is the latest method to put PSP/PSX games to your Liveare. Maybe another user knows.

which is the best version of the show for vita?

maybe if you know japanese.
