How's your Vita doing, user?

it alright, just started muramasa on it but the dodge is horrible, i hope i can change it to the triggers.

Agreed. The Vita scene is a fucking waste.

I love my Vitas! Vita means life!

Pretty good. Just got Retroarch set up on it again. It's a shame that Gran Turismo 2 still doesn't emulate well. I can still use Adrenaline, but I'd prefer to just have that for PSP games.

Is the Vita better than PSP for piracy/emulation yet?

If you just want to emulate, then stick with your PSP. There's little point in getting the Vita if you don't want any Vita games.

Still use mine every so often, it is a pretty nice piece of hardware. A shame it got little to no support, but that D-Pad is really high tier.

>if you don't want any Vita games
Does Vita have any games?

>I'd prefer to just have that for PSP games.
Why?
Piracy is easy, emulation still mediocre

The Vita can play everything the PSP can (psp, ps1, whatever emulators work on PSP) plus vita games also, so it’s better if you wanna play vita games too

It's been better since day one.

Sitting in the floor dusty, why?

fine, just cant play 3.67 games and dont know if it will be enough to install 3.65enso.
my vita was propably the best purchase i did in a while

>Bastion on Vita
Unfortunately a terrible port. Shit can barely hold 30fps. What was odd was being reminded that Shakedown:Hawaii was still having a Vita release. Based v-blank for supporting a dead platform.

That's a stupid question.
Because I don't want to have to open Adrenaline for that when I have Retroarch running everything else. I don't use the PSP's standalone emulators. Hell, once I figure out this bubble creator tool, I won't be opening Adrenaline for anything.

Charged it up again today. Playing Sly 2 and Innocent Sin.

There are a few multiplatform games you can play on the vita but they're all considerably worse. Most have missing content, major slowdown, and of course bad graphics compared to the pc/ps4/etc. versions.

Sorry to hear you live in a country covered by filth.

Hacking my Vita made it go from a paperweight to my most used console.

Has anyone played through am2r on vita? I saw some reports from years ago saying there was a bug that made it impossible to progress, dunno if that's been fixed since then

>shakedown hawaii
is that up on pkgi?

ye

Why the fuck are Vita grips so expensive? All I want is working L2/R2 buttons but I don’t wanna pay £50 for them

oh hey that's the game I can play on my phone

I don't see it. Are you using PKGj 0.51?

They stopped being made years ago.

Yup. It's because they moved the content of the games to a diferent website. Beta psn or something like that and you need to edit your config.txt in order to see the latest games uploaded to 0.51.

Sorry for being so cryptic, I'm on mobile and don't remember the exact details.

>Echochrome
I could really go for a new one of those.

I have all of those games

You have very unsettling thumbs.

i like your theme. did you make it yourself or get it off of the theming site?

I don't understand this and google isn't giving me anything but that is fine.

you can download themes for free user! But it is better to have a custom background for the different games you have there.

Has anyone had the experience of their speakers popping and temporarily not working while playing a game or running homebrew? It's happened twice to me now, and I'm wondering if it's my device or just the software.

Go to your pkgi folder on your vita, open the config.txt file and overwrite everything with the text from this website:
psvitamod.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/config.txt

Then just open pkgi, hit the refresh button and enjoy your newly released games.

You need to change the configuration file to include the updated links.

If a dlc isn't on nopaystation where else can I look for it?

r/vitapiracy

I wouldn't bother if it's not on nps, though. Maybe try installin the same game but the EUR version and see if that one has the DLC? That's what I usually do.

Made it myself, but I'm not that good at this stuff.

Going to start Oreshika tomorrow. What am i in for?

All I can say is that you better have some spare diapers on hand

The battery is starting to dwindle on mine, does anyone know trusted sellers were I can buy one for a replacement for a 1000 model?

Death.

My Switch has pretty much replaced it (played all its english translated good games already), but it's still worth playing some Dragon's Crown.

The Vita is a better PS1 emulator purely because you can actually use R2 and L2 on it like real triggers

Just overclock your vita

When given the option to leave say "no"

Playing MGS2 and Dragon's Crown

Dualshock plug in works flawlessly as well. Unlike the shitty ass bluetooth or how much it skips when I connect it to my 4 different receivers.

still in sleep mode after a month. I wish my schlong had this much energy

just get third party ones from chink sites

My hands hurt when I play it
It's not comfy
Fuck Vita 2000 and fuck 3DSXL I should've known better

My gf has my vita bros. How do I get it back?

Asking for it politely.

thanks user

Fuck her so hard she does anything you ask for

I don't want to hack my vita :(

play on your 3ds

i have vita, playing all stuff on it. nice console

Just hacked it today and its been amazing. brings me back to the psps days when i did the same

Why? There is no reason to not do it
Who wants to pay 40€ for 8GB

Still kicking. Was thinking about finally doing a FeMC playthrough in P3P but I have so many games I haven't played yet. Don't know what to do

when your gf has your dick do you ask for it back too? Let her use it

I'm stuck between not downgrading and playing with my 32gig and whatever I can fit on it because I tried it once and it deleted all my saves. :(

It's up in my closet, not having been used in years. May as well throw it in the dumpster.

The PSP will appreciate the company

Cum inside the slots before doing so

Why didn't Sony just release the PSP2

bretty good, got pato box recently and the art style alone makes the game worth playing

can all models be hacked yet? is ther a way to use SD cards with therm?

Playing zelda botw is pretty cool and it triggers the FUCK out of quite some switch fanboys

how does it look on dat oled? why cant nintendo at least oled the switch?

>Vita means life!
How ironic

this handheld is trash. literally only 2 good games worth playing in this shit handheld

got soul sacrifice delta based on Yea Forums's recommendation, it's fucking trash

What a beautiful little handheld. A shame it wasn't popular. Would there be any reason to get one today? I legit don't use any handheld device. I have a good, powerful phone, but I barely use it.

Emulation device

The one thing I liked about the PSP more was easy component video output for playing PS1 and other emulators on a CRT

I could never get in to it but most people seem to like it a lot

Make like the Vita design.
No touch in the back.
Maybe only one camera.
Bring back the XMB
No content manager this is stupid

Holy shit, is it any good?
Is there an eng patch available?

no no cunt USB C

It's been a paperweight ever since I got it and realized it was on firmware 3.70. Did the preparations for installing CFW but haven't gotten around to actually doing it. Any idea how long it takes.

can a hacked vita emulate ps2 well?

>get vita
>only play indie games

The vita pretty much became the official ouya

20 mins

can I run more resent games if I stay in 3.60 with henkaku?

Buy some hand grips for it, the Vita can be painful as shit use.

>I know Sony loves special snowflake memory cards but don't make this shit retarded expensive
I'm not sure if this is true but I always thought these things were produced at a loss initially and the expensive equipment was used to offset that

Yeah, with things called compatibility packs
I'm pretty sure PKGj will automatically install those for you if you need them for a game

>can all models be hacked yet?
Yes
>is ther a way to use SD cards with therm?
Look up sd2vita, it used the game card slot though and you have to mod your vita in order to use it but its fucking worth it.

I'm looking for more classic styled JRPGs. That is to say, not dungeon crawlers. I've played through most of the obvious choices like the ff ports, atelier ports, persona 4 port, but now I'm a bit lost. It seems like most of the rpgs on vita are dungeon crawlers and that makes me sad. While I can appreciate them I don't really care that much for any but wizardry. or paper sorcerer.

It's on life support. I've been going through the Disgaea franchise and I decided to play D1 on the DS (I love ports to weak hardware). I beat that so I'm on to D2 on my Vita. Adrenaline doesn't seem to want to load the DLC for D2, but that's fine by me. It's an ok game, but I got kinda burnt out by chapter 9. Also I really dislike Etna so now that she's in the story even more, I kinda just dropped the game. Might go back in a few weeks.

Bought these in the last 2 years but I have done absolutely nothing with them

There's an english patch that translates everything except the adventure mode

It's doing great, just replaced the front screen of my Vita 1000 and it looks new

Comp packs are obsolete now that reFOOD exists. 3.60 is the king FW that can play everything.

I bought 2. One for hack one for official. Once all fws could be updated I gave one to my friend. Dude got hooked with all vanillawares and hotline Miami’s

the color hack on the 2000 series makes it look as good as the oled but with better battery

COPE

How do you apply english patch?

Google the translation project, they explain the installation in the page, it's pretty simple.

Follow the instructions on the GBAtemp thread

>PKGj
damn did not know about that app, trying out, thanks.

make sure you get the nondrm shit or whatever it is called and adding that line in your config or it will never work

Seriously thinking about buying a Slim because mine has an orange burn in near the charging port. And a little dent in the screen.
I wonder if I could sell my PSP Go and break even...

>jank work around that makes the 2000 tolerable

Now that's what I call Cope 13

i have 3.60 and it wont let me run ys8.
google says i need 3.67,
guess i'll google myself some information on pkgj

I need the name of that plugin that adjusts the Vita brightness level.

>better battery
>no fear of burn in
>no proprietary shit connection
>built in 1gig for ps1 games

pkgj has comp packs nerd

get reFOOD

Jump to d4
D2 is meh and so is d3
1,4 and 5 are the only good disgaeas

Just install repatch or refood dude, im on 3.60 and can play everything

The bottom left analog stick on mine is fucked. Works sometimes other times just starts spinning and going crazy in game and makes movement impossible for most games.

replace it or use a DS4.

the 2000 is infinitely more comfortable than the 1000 and that alone is worth it
FUCK the 1000's start and select buttons

get a replacement, it''s really easy to replace it.

get a 1000. most comfy handheld ever

you gonna wait for your memory card to die user?

only reason to get a vita is for comfy handheld gaming

>tfw I broke my Vita
sad

set up trinity
downgrade
install lots of games
enjoy

How did you get around the vita compressing wallpapers the shit?

i use a samsung galaxy s9 with one of those smartphone clip controllers. no need to use a toy to emulate some kino video games of the past.

Your Vita will save the wallpapers you set and the lockscreen wallpaper under ur0:shell/tabpaper and shell/wallpaper respectively as 1024x1024 .dds files. So all you gotta do is transfer all of those files to your PC, open them with Photoshop or whatever and just drop your intended wallpaper on the top left corner, save and overwrite the current .dds files on your Vita then reboot, that's it.

Pic related is what the files will look like, which is pretty interesting.

If you're gonna use Photoshop you'll need this to view and save .dds files. developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-texture-tools-adobe-photoshop

I have never used any of the vita's revisions, but they all seem so uncomfortable to use, especially those thumbsticks, aren't they TOO small?

I don't really like the dualshock 4's thumbsticks even as they're kind of too small/slippery for me, and I can't even imagine how Vita's ones will be for me.

cheers user.

How's the S9? I'm still using an S3 and verizon finally sent me an email saying "your phone's so fucking old we're not gonna be able to support it anymore get a new one, here's a $300 credit", debating between s9 and s10.

Look up psp iso sites

Why the fuck do you need PKGj's for PSP and PS1 game? You can literally just download the iso and psn classic eboots from any rom site that has PSP games and just stick them in the Game/ISO(can't remember which) folder.

i'd get an s10 if you can afford it. s9 is still really good though

s9 is great. i've been emulating all manner of N64 games using the adapter in the box + 360 controller

Yeah the money was never an issue, I just had an S3 for so long, and now that I'm a shutin and never really leave my house the fact it doesn't last but 30 seconds off of a charger doesn't bother me too much, but I certainly won't mind dropping an extra $20 a month for a new phone. An S9 wouldn't be but 2 or 3 dollars cheaper a month for the 2 years or whatever it is, so I was just trying to find out if maybe you had particular insight as to why an S9 might be better.

Frankly I miss large bezels on screens. This sleeker profile, more screen shit makes it impossible for me to firmly hold my phone without all the shit on the edge of the screen getting activated.

Are you daft?

Nah what happened, is at the time Sony weren't doing so hot, and the last thing they wanted was the Vita getting hacked like the PSP - it's the reason why savedata management is so head-ass on the Vita, and why they had the proprietary memory cards.

user, you just might be retarded

I actually like the way PSP games look on an actual PSP screen more.
Also the PSP Go is just more fun to dink around with

Let someone borrow it to play P4G since that's what it's good for

Replacing the sticks is easy user

This is the worst.
On PSP I can put any image and the result is beautiful.

what the fuck is wrong with your thumb?

are there any worth using that aren't just replacements?

I downgraded to 3.60
Now what?

thanks, i gonna check out on it

Easy enough for a brainlet afraid of fucking up?

can you emulate PS2 games on the Vita or the PSP?

Not possible.

>emulate
no, no handheld can emulate PS2 to any degree of success yet. Android emulators exist but they barely launch render demos. vita has a bunch of ps2 ports, though. For the R&C games, jak trilogy, and sly cooper games. The major platformers, basically.

I've been enjoying it, mostly using it to play PSP games right now. There really isn't that many Vita games on here that interest me, aside from Persona 4 Golden, Muramasa, and Odin Sphere. But considering I'm gonna be pirating most of everything, its not so bad. I really still need to find a nice write up of games that are best on Vita, or only on Vita. There is so much shit that has been ported to PC and I'd rather get most of it there (like Ys, for example).

Personally, I enjoy it WAY more than my 3DS.

Should have bought one when they were on blowout sale near the end. Playing MGS3 and dungeon crawlers in bed would have been comfy.

I was saying no handheld can emulate ps2 to any degree of success yet. Android emulators exist but they barely launch render demos.
damonps2 is actually a scam, which you might know if you ever looked into it. It's literally knockoff PCSX2 which is shit enough as is, without any help from some bootlegger.

Doing fine, I just picked up the Girls und Panzer game on it.

just enso'd mine without losing my saves. Fucking based.

>want to buy a new one to replace my inevitably dying OLED one

I fucked one of the 3g module screws so I can't remove this shit.
Oh well.
