@@AdrielAviles Thank you, I really appreciate it! I’m definitely itching to make a video about TDUSC but I’m stuck between my PC hardware being behind for this game, and last gen console hardware. It’s tough to justify upgrading either for just one game right now, but I’m working on another episode of RETROspective in the meantime. Stay tuned!

@@coverstream9951 I got my copy off of eBay but there weren’t too many offerings at the time! Also check out a local retro game store to see if they have it in stock too!

I’m not too sure, I think some of the latest methods to jailbreak allow you to access the PSN but I’m not 100%. I would take a look at some of the latest videos on TH-cam and guides on GitHub to see if it’s possible!

@@GaganAruna Thanks so much I appreciate it! If you enjoyed check out the rest of the RETROspectives I’ve done!

@@games_n_gears i did check out underground

@@prasssetyadi980 I haven’t had that happen! Either with my Vita games, PSP games, or GBA games

@@games_n_gears mostly ps vita fat.

@@nathanjohnwilliamson7675 I would love to see that so badly. It’s funny though because in today’s gaming landscape I’d be beyond skeptical of how good it would be if EA announced a remake!

Why not at Carbon while they at it

@@watchdogsplaythroughs9852 if you don’t have one already, I definitely recommend the RetroBit Prizim HDMI converter if your GameCube has digital out! It definitely makes my play throughs even better

I have that same mindset! It always worries me when a company doesn’t give it a full effort and then complains when it’s not a smashing success.

@@hgmd3284 the frame rate definitely suffers in later stages of the game. For me though, I went into it knowing that with the Vita being a handheld that there would be some trade-offs so I think that’s why I give it a bit more of a pass than others!

@@games_n_gears ah ok

10000% agree! On all my cars I usually keep the engine stock because the power loss isn’t too bad and they just sound so much better

I think that definitely added to the woes it faced. Today, the Switches joy cons are definitely better than the Vita’s, but they’re still not 100%. I think for most people though they can look passed them because they have a ton of options to switch joy cons, and even use a full controller. No such thing for the Vita unfortunately! I’d love to see an upgraded joystick mod for it if possible.

I wish! This is from the PC version of the game with the HD texture mod which makes it like gorgeous!

It almost got infamous and a 2nd Uncharted.

@@morsecode980 Oh an Infamous game would have been nice indeed

Thanks for the feedback! Since this video I switched from my over-ear headphones, to regular old AirPods to match what’s I’d use to listen to TH-cam videos anyway. I found that it’s helped me balance the audio a lot better on my newer videos, check them out!

Just curious, what makes 2 and 3 better for you? I love 3 because of the customization and the multiple locations (especially remix). But I think LA edges it out for my favorite because of the leap it took in that generation of consoles with fully fleshed out online, highly detailed over-world, and even deeper customization! Thanks for watching!

@@games_n_gears the the higher difficulty, and the over the top nature of the previous games. LA is good, but they toned down the difficulty and made it more grounded-in-reality. I just loved how much more wacky, over the top, and cartoony the older games are, but the DIFFICULTY is what made those older games for me. Too many times when i play a singleplayer racing game, i just take the lead on the first corner, and finish with a mile long lead. I love MC2 and 3 where with the difficult race layouts, navigation and shortcut finding, its traffic and obstacles, and relentless AI actually made me feel like my win was EARNED

@@r3uvsgaming That’s definitely understandable! I think that I’d have a harder time choosing between MC3 and LA if 3s handling was similar to LA, I find that’s where most of my difficulty with the game comes from. LAs handling gives you more control, but it still feels like you’re on the edge of it when you get to the faster cars in the game.

I agree

Couldn’t agree more! I love how many different side races/activities there are to do when you’re tired of grinding the main races. That alongside all open world and customization makes this so replay able. Thanks for watching!

I wholeheartedly agree! An updated Vita when the switch came out with more modern ARM silicon would’ve been absolutely amazing and would’ve been great completion for the switch!

Same here! Especially now that I have it modded for PSP too!

I’d love to see a Midnight Club game with unlicensed cars again because of how creative rockstar has been recently, but I also think that the market would hate it now because of how ambiguous having a fully licensed roster has become. It would definitely be cool to see a remaster of LA with Rockstar’s GTA based models though!

Thank you so much! Working hard to keep growing!

It’s definitely on the list for the future based off of my experience of hacking it as well as all the great comments about the home brew community!

I couldn’t have said it better myself! Being more than a mini PC or a streaming device also gives it personality too which is definitely something missing in the market today

That awesome to hear! A year I made the video, I modded it and had mGBA on it but eventually reversed it. Then towards the end of making this video, I bought an SD2Vita card so I could try out MC3 and GT PSP on it so I remolded it again. I might have to do a separate video going into it because it’s been a fun time!

Ooooh very nice, I’m a sucker for special edition handhelds lol

I didn’t notice the dips too much but I also haven’t gotten far into Jak 2 or 3, which is where I can imagine the fps dips to happen. For me, I’m just amazed that they even got it to run! I wonder if a modified port of the PS2 version would run better? Midnight Club 3 for PSP has been running super smooth on it with only small features like damage removed, and I think the weather too.

Yeah the fps dips are mostly common in jak 2 and jak 3. You can also overclock your vita to make jak 2 and jak 3 more playable though

This is also the sign that sony didn't care about the vita anymore. Just look at god of war collection, ratchet and clank collection, and sly cooper collection released prior. They all run smooth. Anyway i'll sub to your channel

Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to look into that! Thanks for the sub too, more videos to come!

@@games_n_gears jak 1 is actually capped at 20fps for some reason so while it has a consistent frame rate it was always so much choppier than every other version. If you mod your vita you can change the cap to 30fps and it runs perfectly, it’s kinda crazy

I’ve tried my coworkers and while it’s definitely a cool piece of tech, having to rely on both your WiFi at home and the open networks available to you hurts it a lot. I would’ve been all over a Portal that had the ability to play PS4/3 games alongside the steaming to PS5, it could’ve been more of a switch competitor with that kind of software on it

@games_n_gears it takes a lot of tweaking to get better results and nat type 3 is a no go for portal. It must be nat type 2 and this is a low risk effort to test the waters to see if sony will make a portable beyond the portal. Why do you want sony to spend dev's resources towards a different SKU when they will sabotage their consoles. That's why the vita failed. Sony is just playing it smart.

@@EnaTenkiyoGamer I’d love to see them make a full handheld because I think a lot of users would definitely buy it. It would be tough from a cost perspective to make and sell a “PS5” Portable which is why I think a device that focused on playing previous gen games would be best. The Portal makes more business sense since it’s a more cost effective solution to manufacture than a full on portable console. But I based on all the portable PCs coming out I think there’s a market case for it! By the way, thanks for watching and discussing!

@@games_n_gears np! :)

No way is it better a streaming device will never be better than dedicated hardware. Portal a instant skip for me while i have a PSP and PSV. A new true PS handheld would be a instant buy.

I get that, emulators for the 360 and PS3 are getting better each day though so MCLA is definitely a game worth putting on your short list to play!
