I own the vita and until I found your channel I thought it's old, useless thing in my drawer. Now I hacked it for the retro gaming (thanks for your videos) and started to play again. Unfortunately, my charger stopped working (it was inevitable, because the cable was for more than 5 years working only thanks to the duct tape) I bought new and I have to wait for it to come. I'm just watching the your videos to spend that time.
It's really cool to see people still talking and making content about the vita. I use the hori grip with four triggers. It almost never comes off my console.
Not the one I mentioned that's all one piece, but there's a very affordable grip with just two triggers, and a separate product with the other two that you put in the touch screen hole
Dope review, very honest. I also have both 1000 and 2000 versions of these grips with the l3/r3 attachments, however my 2000 came with a hinge like the 1000 but it only clips the top into the case, not a full face plate. Either way they work wonders and keep my systems safe for cheap, and with the extra attachments, you're right you lose some sleekness but overall feels like a more complete experience. Great video, again.
I got both of these and they surprised me as to how comfortable they are. The clamshell one took a bit of gentle force to snap shut though because of the screen protector. I've had it on for about 2 years with no issues. I got each one for $20 or less off of Amazon.
I have the 1000 Vita and I have this case. Love it as it also adds additional grips on the side for general ergonomics when playing the game. I use it more for that ergonomics instead of for the L2 and R2 at this point lol
I have the 2000 and have the same case you show in the video. I love the case it just makes the vita fit so much better in my hand. Similar to the 3DS, which I have a grip for. I can play these systems much more comfortably after getting the grips. I really like the fact that you can use the L2 and R2 buttons as you mention. The best part of the 2000 version is you can still access the L3 and R3 on the back.
I really prefer the "sandwich" tipe of case, I've seen a few reviews of the slim model case you're showing and people are getting them scratched on the sides pretty easily. Be very gentle with it when removing and placing it if you don't want to mess the paint.
It runs ninja gaiden really well I had mine modded and let me telll youuuuu you gotta mod it h-encore/ henkaku home brew with 3.65 firmware is what I’m using :3
Have you actually got the L3/R3? As I just got the whole case with the L3/R3 attachment and it just kinda sits there. I have to keep my fingers resting on the back to keep it in place or it just drops off! I was kinda hoping it would clip in, or even adhere slightly in some way...
The Hori device looks promising, but I like the way that the JEC grips still give you access to the rear touch pad for games that use it. If you so wanted to, you could use it as a permanent upgrade.
With PS Vita Homebrew growing and the sense that more are utilizing their vitas, is there an updated recommendation for grips/accessories for 2023? Would love to make my Vita ergonomically friendly with my big hands 🤲
I prefer not having L3R3 because some games that require the rear touch. Also once you homebrew, you can adjust all the functionality. Also, I have the 1000 case and a glass screen protector. It does fit tight, and collect dust. Those small tabs broke near the charge port for me. I would have preferred those clips were wider. I will probably seek out a 3D printer if I need to replace it.
@@RetroGameCorps That's a awesome upgrade IMO. I love the instinct. I did almost a year of looking before I finally got the instinct! Everything I needed in a watch, without the weak components of most watches.
Awesome video. I love handhalds but never played PS4/5 on my Vita seriously. Maybe tried it once or twice for kicks but it never looks good, and was never comfortable. Will definitely consider trying this!
I had played through entire PS4 games via an iPad (long story, but the PS4 was in the kids' room and I didn't want to disturb them), but having it on the Vita is 1000x times better to me for some reason.
5:55 vita has been optimized to run some games differently your L3 R3 should be bottom corners of the actual screen in most fighting games L2 R2 are top corners of screen while L3 R3 is bottom. Its really comfortable and more responsive than the back touchpad. Remote play is great
I know this is an older video but you can buy an L3 R3 adapter on Amazon that fits in the open space of these cases so you can have L2 R2 L3 R3 buttons now.
OMG LOL - I was watching this and heard my little boy squeal.... paused the video and ran out to find noone else in the house... hit play again... squeals again. LOL thanks for the scare Russ!!!! :D btw love all your work and content. I hope you can work until retirement doing this - you'll never 'work' another day in your life!! :)
@@terreausore2435 Glad I bought mine when I did. Glad I bought all my Vita stuff when I did. I have all the rare accessories and all the major games and major indie titles that I wanted. Everything went sky high in price
i have this for about a year now. it's okay, i like the grip but i hate the triggers and how the front covers most of the vita. so i trimmed the front so just the edges remain and now i like how they look. it still holds the vita in place pretty snug.
@@rj60000 i think they still sell those on aliexpress or maybe ebay im not sure.but i got mine from lazada since im in the philippines.i think lazada is also part of alibaba
That same Psvita 1000 case... It's 69€ on Amazon Europe. Daymn. Japanese seller. I found a nice seller locally who let me have a phat Vita PCH1000 for 120€... Thanks Russ for the Vita videos. ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL venture and looking into Translation/Undub patches now. 👌
Why would the 1000 version need a front plate? It does seem like a deal breaker to me because I've had issues pressing the Cross button since it's so close to the right analog (granted so far this has only bothered me in retro games) or the Select and Start buttons since they're already really low on the device.
I used it for two years and it didn't break, it is of good quality. Unfortunately last week I let it fall from my hands and now the hinge is broken. Don't worry, it can hold the vita well without the hinge. No need to buy another one.
Do they not have any rubber or silicone grips that can encapsulate the case? I have this grip and love it but am trying to find something that encases it.
Nowadays, at least on eBay, I actually found it easier to find the L3/R3 attachment panel. Looks like they produced equal amounts of both parts but most people aren't buying the l3/r3 expansion lol. I ordered the brandleas one you have here and got the OG 'Top Player' branded one . Besides being branded it all has cutouts for the cameras. Interesting that they'd retool it without camera cutouts
Am I correct in thinking that Sony changed the remote play shoulder buttons from the back touch pad to the front and you can't turn them back? I'm sure last time I did remote play I had to use the front screen for L2 and R2
i can not believe that NO ONE is talking about the fact that SONY made this device in 2011!!!!! something made for ps3......the PS Vita can actually play PS4 GAMES!, thats great engineering for a company! :) they did something amazing (the only videogame company that has done this) and not one person on youtube is even gonna give them a shout out for that?
It's not running them natively. It's streaming them. Something like the Steam Deck is far more impressive because it plays games at around PS4 quality.
the only thing i dislike is that all the 1000 grips are like that, where it closes your vita, why cant we have one like the 2000 where the front is not closed, looks so much better
You should get the slim. I have the 1000, but it uses proprietary charger, so if you want to move data and the cable stops working, you're kinda screwed. The 2000 uses USB, so you don't worry about chargers.
I got some from Amazon for my ps vita 2000 they are the exact same ones in this video they are only $25 got them in 2 days. You can also buy the l3/r3 attachment for $15 bit it take a month to get them
Perfect example that first isn't always best - JEC released/created the original L2/R2 grip (which you have here) and Hori just did a better job in the same concept. You can kind of tell with the prices unfortunately!
Just got a Vita Slim today. I've yet to jailbreak the system and buy a sd2vita adapter and microsd. But I wanted to try to get used to the system and try things out. Like remoteplay. I tried it with Gravel and was surprised the throttle and brake were on the front. Works for the throttle, but not the brake, as I need that thumb to steer my car. Any way to remap those buttons to the back? I don't want to remap in the game itself, as I otherwise have to constantly adjust them if switching systems. Didn't know games prevented you from adjusting it. Know I'm glad I didn't buy someone's Vita (Slim) with the HORI grip. He was expecting 300€ for it (with adapter and SD 256, but no (official) games).
I connect the duel shock 4 and get the plug in for it crazy it works with the remote play perfectly it does not do the ps vita custom controls some game the button layout changes and it suck once the ds4 connect it works well the trigger and L3 work like intended.. why sony dident support it is beyond me ?
There is also additional L3, R3 piece that can be attached to the lower part of touchpad on back. It's available on AliExpress. Never used it though so I can't comment on how good it is.
I bought one of these but for some reason the L2/R2 triggers didn’t work. And the games I tried definitely had the L2 and R2 mapped to the back, so I’m not sure why it wasn’t working
Have you modded your Vita so you can map the buttons as I find you can’t do remote play with PS4 and the L2/R2 grip as it maps the buttons to the front
@@RetroGameCorps no ps vita banned for using enso... but sony banned only cheaters ( with trophys...) i'm so afraid man to use my personnal ps4 accont : soooo many games and psn+ for 4 years !!
I wouldn't say it's the best, but it's the only one I know of. It leaves a little to be desired but its specifically designed for those grips. www.ebay.com.au/itm/313157575958
I just find it annoying that the Vita, does what the Switch does just as well, but Sony has almost completely abandoned it (until they realise people are still spending money on it).
Is there any info on how long the remote play feature will still be supported by sony, since it needs an internet connection? or will that feature be available at all times? i’m asking cause at the moment I do have a vita but no ps4 so i’m asking myself , if I’ll buy a ps4 in the future should I hurry up or will the feature be available regardless...
Remote play doesn't go through psn itself. You either connect directly to you ps4 wireless, but then you can't be very far away from your ps4. Or you do it through your own modem/router (or online if away from home). It just uses the router as an access point, sony psn(etwork) doesn't actually come into play during remoteplay. In this case remoteplay will always work if you have an internet connection.
@@JustAnotherGamer1005 that’s super nice! i’m looking for those very first high quality trigger grips by Hori they sold out and wre very hard to find nowadays I always wanted one but never got the chance
@@vel2118 I had found an offer (in my country) that sold a Vita Slim with the HORI grips (but without games). He expected to get 300€ for it. So yesterday I found someone else, got the Vita Slim with 7 games (8 if you count the game of the GoW collection separate) for 110€. I already tried Gravel and Sébastien Loeb Rally via remoteplay. Appears that racing games have the throttle and brake 'buttons' on the front screen, making the grips redundant. And making racing games hard to play, because you can't steer and brake at the same time.
Hmm, this is great concept that I wish I knew about a couple of years ago! 😁 As far as I can tell remote play is not possible with a Ps5 though? So this grip will be redundant once I upgrade to ps5, unless they update the firmware presumably......
Lets see.. So if I get that installed on my Vita, it's going to be a 360g system (rounded up, obviously). I'm struggling with the original battery, and according to my AmpMeter, it's only charging 1356 mAh out of the default 2210 - that's 61% of battery life left on it after hundreds and hundreds of gameplay hours and after all this time. So I'd also have to go for a battery replacement, maybe 4000 mAh this time, which will probably add maybe 50g more to the weight of an already heavy system. If I got things right, with that grip and a new battery, my Vita 1000 could weight nearly or even more than 400g (almost 410g). Definitely not gonna be playing as much with that much weight in my hands, which kinda counters the point to get and install a new battery to begin with. Hmmm I'm not sure what to do.
How do you get so good performance for remote play? I have vita slim, 250/50 internet speed, my ps4 connected with cable directly to router and i tried with direct connection and over the internet but i still get poor performance in form of pixelated picture and ocasional framerate drop. Can you please give some tips and tricks? :)

Sir what's the best carrying case or travel case for psvita1000 l2 r2 grip?
I wouldn't say it's the best, but it's the only one I know of. It leaves a little to be desired but its specifically designed for those grips.

What can you do regarding the L3/R3 buttons?
I really want the ps vita 2000. I have no option with my budget to buy a second hand one.
After 2 weeks of use how comfortable would you say it is?? I’m most interested in the fat version of the vita grip
I got used to them. I think I like them more than I did before, once I got acquainted with the feel of the triggers.
@@RetroGameCorps Great to hear thanks :D
I just find it annoying that the Vita, does what the Switch does just as well, but Sony has almost completely abandoned it (until they realise people are still spending money on it).
Is there any info on how long the remote play feature will still be supported by sony, since it needs an internet connection? or will that feature be available at all times? i’m asking cause at the moment I do have a vita but no ps4 so i’m asking myself , if I’ll buy a ps4 in the future should I hurry up or will the feature be available regardless...
Yeah I'm not sure. I figure they'll pull the plug eventually, but hopefully not before I actually play through all my games :)
Remote play doesn't go through psn itself.
You either connect directly to you ps4 wireless, but then you can't be very far away from your ps4.
Or you do it through your own modem/router (or online if away from home). It just uses the router as an access point, sony psn(etwork) doesn't actually come into play during remoteplay. In this case remoteplay will always work if you have an internet connection.
@@JustAnotherGamer1005 that’s super nice! i’m looking for those very first high quality trigger grips by Hori they sold out and wre very hard to find nowadays I always wanted one but never got the chance
@@vel2118 I had found an offer (in my country) that sold a Vita Slim with the HORI grips (but without games). He expected to get 300€ for it.
So yesterday I found someone else, got the Vita Slim with 7 games (8 if you count the game of the GoW collection separate) for 110€.
I already tried Gravel and Sébastien Loeb Rally via remoteplay. Appears that racing games have the throttle and brake 'buttons' on the front screen, making the grips redundant. And making racing games hard to play, because you can't steer and brake at the same time.
Why do ppl go to eBay for new items instead of Amazon?
Hmm, this is great concept that I wish I knew about a couple of years ago! 😁 As far as I can tell remote play is not possible with a Ps5 though? So this grip will be redundant once I upgrade to ps5, unless they update the firmware presumably......
Great review though!
I'm not sure about PS5 remote play. Guess I'll have to get a PS5 first :) We'll find out in 2023 when I finally get one!
@@RetroGameCorps haha, yes it will probably be a long time before this is a real problem!
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. the ps4 has ps5 remote play witch I find really weird.
I want the triggers so much but this front cover panel honestly looks awful :(
Just don't drop it even if it is slightest of drops that psv 1000 case will break at the hinges.
Hi help me my screen won't turn on. I can charge it.
Does it work with the ps1 games?
I have a question. I notice your vitas are modded. Do you still log into your psn account or do you recommend not doing that?
Yep, I still log into my PSN account to do remote play, get trophies, and to buy/download games.
@@RetroGameCorps Thanks
Can you make a list of games that L2 and R2 buttons can be used?
Lets see.. So if I get that installed on my Vita, it's going to be a 360g system (rounded up, obviously).
I'm struggling with the original battery, and according to my AmpMeter, it's only charging 1356 mAh out of the default 2210 - that's 61% of battery life left on it after hundreds and hundreds of gameplay hours and after all this time.
So I'd also have to go for a battery replacement, maybe 4000 mAh this time, which will probably add maybe 50g more to the weight of an already heavy system. If I got things right, with that grip and a new battery, my Vita 1000 could weight nearly or even more than 400g (almost 410g). Definitely not gonna be playing as much with that much weight in my hands, which kinda counters the point to get and install a new battery to begin with. Hmmm I'm not sure what to do.
It's 400g...man up, or possibly woman up? The weight difference would be unnoticeable after a couple of days.
Check Ali express. Much cheaper and you van het it with l3r3 button option.
I did see those after the fact, I may buy just the L3/R3 option so I can have them.
Are there any for PlayStation Vita Slim trigger system please let me know
How do you get so good performance for remote play? I have vita slim, 250/50 internet speed, my ps4 connected with cable directly to router and i tried with direct connection and over the internet but i still get poor performance in form of pixelated picture and ocasional framerate drop. Can you please give some tips and tricks? :)
Hmmm, I don't do anything special, and I have worse speeds than that at home. Mine is connected via Google Mesh routes, maybe that helps?
@@RetroGameCorps that could be it. I need to experiment with that and see... Thanks for answering. 😊
