I like Vita3K a lot. It's not perfect, but one day, it will be. Because, one day, despite how well I take care of it, my actual hardware will stop working. And on that day, I'll be very happy that someone out there decided that the PS Vita was worth preserving.
Thanks for showing off Soul Sacrifice Delta, I don't have a lot of vita games that I plan on playing but that one is 100% one I wanted to do and it looks like it'll be playable.
I would very much like to see a vita test with indie games that are available for the console, his indie library is fantastic, games with YOMAWARI and Sini Mora for example.
Betteridge's Law of Headlines strikes again! On a serious note; thanks for the tutorial portion at the beginning of this video. It was what finally inspired me to try Vita3K on my phone. I followed along and everything worked. The only issue I'm facing is that trying to use Android's nav buttons/gestures to leave a running Vita game locks up my phone, requiring me to force restart the whole phone whenever I'm done playing. Odd.
I play the same games without lag or any setup, i only set the resolution to 2x and change the driver to 24.3.0 R9V2 it works perfectly that way for me. I do have to say that im using a xiaomi Mi 10 it also has a sd 865 and 8gb of ram so it should be about the same experience!
It is normal with emulators to get stuttering at rhe start, on the bottom there is a box that appears from time to time that says "Pipeline compiled" or something similar to that, which means the game was doing some heavy 1 time compilation in the background, and once it is done, it will not have to be repeated, so if you replay that same part of the game a second time, you will not get that stuttering
Because the Vita was a flop, with very few exclusives that have never been ported, so there is very little active development to develope an emulator (Unlike the 3DS, which was far less powerful than the Vita, but was a commercial success and got an emulator about 2 years after release) Vita3K is a MASSIVE undertaking by a small team, which has to be commemorated, since it would otherwise simply not exist
About how to record the gameplay, maybe you could do a mix of both on hand and "clean shots" as you did here, in order to make it more believable to the viewer, since the uninformed can be quite skeptical. Great video!
Vita 3k seems to have frame pacing issues on android. On my samsung phone i use an app called galaxymaxhz to set the refresh rate to 30hz for vita3k. Eliminates the stuttering in Wipeout and gravity rush. Unfortunately it only works on samsung phones that have ltpo display.
Ah, so I’m not crazy. I’ll have to tinker some more and see if I can fine tune. The display probably doesn’t support anything other than 60hz though. Thanks for sharing!
It's funny. I initially thought I could make vita emulation work on an Odin 2 mini. And I felt like the Odin 2 mini was close formwise to make me be satisfied. Long story short, Odin 2 mini sold... And vita 1000 is coming from a trade...
I would think that depends. If you like physical, no. If you dont care, i imagine thats complicated. I say all this 30 seconds into the video so i will find out your thoughts
Well they are still fulfilling pre orders, so it likely won’t ship out right away. 4px usually takes a couple weeks once shipped. You can track their deliveries here: www.goretroid.com/pages/delivery-dashboard
This why I say emu is too much work for most. Just play the games from app store and cloud and remote play. Much easier than going through all of this and just having a mobile controller like kishi or backbone. Your good to go.
Yo, I was shocked.... " UNCHARTED - Golden Abyss... play better in my Android Gaming Handheld Remixed feature my: RaZeR Edge Tablet only Verizon version / 144hz 6.8" Amoled Screen / Snapdragon G3x gen 8gb ram / 128gb internal storage + 512gb Samsung Evo MicroSD-Card Loaded... Paired with my BsP D8 Bluetooth Controller (Sky Black or Star Space White Edition)... While my A-O2 Pro Black Edition was having glitches left and right... 🤯🧐
❤ similar to switch, I feel the original hardware doesn't cost much and both are available with gorgeous OLED screens... Vita oled hacked with sd adapter cost half the price of rp5... Well worth it. PS1 and PSP émulation runs amazingly on Vita as well.
No, but all the popular retro systems can be emulated on Vita. PS Vita didn't sell well so the emulator started late. Many people don't care about Vita. Many think that the games library was bad. I'm shocked you're talking about the Vita to be honest. PSP and Vita is kinda of ignored by the RH community. Side note I think it was ETA Prime, he said something about the Switch being able to play Vita games natively but I haven't heard anything else about it. Also, I think there is a difference between the platforms. I believe Windows emulation maybe better than Android or vice versa.
My first foray into handheld emulation was actually a modded PSP probably about 15 years ago. The vita is a really neat piece of hardware but definitely wasn’t as mainstream as other devices.
Like all higher end systems - the emulation is flaky and unreliable. Gamecube / Switch* / PS2* / Vita etc... (* - no fix any time soon!) You really have to handpick the games that seem stable and communicate with the relevant community.
@@LordR32 Gamecube is in active development with the Dolphin emulator, but they are still plenty of issues. PS2 is much more of a shitstorm, the only worthwhile emulator ceased development some months ago, and you have 2 versions that each offer different compatibility. But you can only install 1 version at a time. So, yes you can play a lot of games. I would say something like 75% play decently and maybe 50% are perfect..
Bummer it's not quite there yet, but there's a ton of potential. Looking forward to future developments!

I think that Vita 3K needs someone with design ability. I like it for what it is though.
Short answer : No, it can not🙂🤘
Agreed
Shh don’t give away the spoilers! 🤣
@@bassderek 😂
But it can.
Which sucks ass

Nice video! Always good to see some Vita 3k setup! 🍻🤘🏼🔥

Sweet! My only concern was Wipeout 2048. Great vid!
It plays perfectly on my RP3+ lol! Oddly enough.
Nice! I think with less mature emulators like this there are a lot more variables than just device power, for sure.

Lag is a strong word, more like micro stutters here and there.
@@ed-fruty yes it is, my Xiaomi Mi 10 did get the hyperos update but it is based on android 13
@@bassderek fair enough
@@Mauritsklabamcodm , thanks that you shared your experience.
I ended up ordering a used vita from Japan after watching ur video and gonna grab a rp5 later for other games so thanks for the video 😊
Awesome, the vita is fun and easy to soft mod.

Imagine a certain company made a handheld so good 10 years ago, people still ask if a modern handheld can replace it.

Thanks for the feedback!
I have 3 Vitas, but am curious to play some Vita on RP5. Mine arrives in 2 days. Another good Vita game is TxK, which should emulate very well.
instability aside, I'm surprised Vita emulation is even a thing, and that in terms of performance the RP5 seems to be handling it pretty well.
someone know why my games doesn't works? same drivers, same setup, but every game freeze at the first loading, please help
Did you check the vita3k compatibility list? Some games just don’t work.

You can use a wireless game controller to show the gameplay.
Have also thought about this. Means a bit more tinkering in emulators for controls but it's definitely an option.

id rather play on the real deal. the back touch pad makes some games like tearaway or LBPVita really good.

Problem is processor
If 8gen2 would have made expensive
Atleast 8+gen1 would have been good one for future games
Can you test persona 4 golden?
I have issues with the audio
I don’t think I have that game in my collection. Admittedly I’m not a big jrpg player.
Yo, I was shocked....

🤯🧐
It does everything a vita can do and way more.
If you have an Android with an 8 Gen 2 and newer, it can replace your switch :)
Nope still a lot of bugs to replace my vita. So many games unable to complete although playable
Use the turnip 24.3.0 R9v2 driver in almost every emulator it fixes all the bugs and givea great performance!!
Hope RP5 can perform all switch and vita games 😢
All? No. Some? Yes.
❤ similar to switch, I feel the original hardware doesn't cost much and both are available with gorgeous OLED screens... Vita oled hacked with sd adapter cost half the price of rp5... Well worth it. PS1 and PSP émulation runs amazingly on Vita as well.
Yeah I’ll still reach for my vita for now.

Future development gonna take over then its going to be the budget legion, steam deck slowly but surely.
Will this work on rp4pro? 🤔🤷🏾♂️
You should be able to play some vita games, yes.
No chance!!!!!!!
As expected, still a very difficult console to properly emulate
I hope Vita3k gets better, because my PS Vita screen looks like total ass now. The OLED aged like milk sitting in the sun.
It was always my least favourite Oled display.
No.
Maybe in a few years when the good developers achieve 98% compatibility in vita3k
No but not at the fault of the device. Ps vita emulation just isnt good yet
Will never get a psvita emulator unless it reaches peak form like the ppsspp
Maybe soon i'll get rid of the two PSVITA here....
Not yet!
Entirely different form factor. So. No.
not the vita but the psp :)
Like all higher end systems - the emulation is flaky and unreliable. Gamecube / Switch* / PS2* / Vita etc... (* - no fix any time soon!)
You really have to handpick the games that seem stable and communicate with the relevant community.
So not all PS2 and Game Cube will run smoothly? I was under the impression that 99% of Game Cube and PS2 games could run on this thing.

okay cool thank you for the information😎👍
We've proved time and time again the software is not good enough yet so idk what the point of even trying is. It'll play SOME vita but not much.
The point of trying is to tinker and have fun and at the same time show others to help them make decisions about what devices they wanna buy. 🤷🏻♂️
@bassderek fair enough but it's already known.
