    I'm still surprised you can even play Fallout 2 on this thing. I got it as an improved PSP, and to play XCOM EU, later modded it to play Tactics Ogre One Vision, but seeing the incredible MGS2-3 ports, San Andreas, and even friggin DOS games playing on this thing always blows my mind. It's so dang good, my Switch ends up warming the bench most of the time.

    • @kamilciura7953
      @kamilciura7953 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      The one thing Vita isn't that good for is playing PSP games, unfortunately. Both models have much better screens (not to mention higher res) that PSP, with faster reaction time and wider colour range. It makes PSP titles looking worse than on original hardware, where all models have slight softness and kind of frame blend effect due to how quickly matrix responds. So yeah, you can enjoy PSP games on Vita, but they look more rough than on PSP - 2D titles do hold up when you turn off bilinear filtering, but 3D games are losing a lot of appeal. This is why I keep my old PSP around in addition to Vita. If I were to keep just one of them, Vita is a clear winner, though.

    Watching the Vita modding scene grow and fight against Sonys patches throughout the years has been incredible.

    I've been modding the Vita since it was possible. And seeing now that it's as easy as the PSP back then, it's a real mindblow. I had stored away my Vita and just got it out once I heard the news and updated everything to the latest CFW. Everything without a PC. It's great. I even have the first gen SD2Vita adapter (the red, raw PCB looking one) and I ordered a current gen adapter!

      If you had been modding the Vita for a long time, I would like to know if it's possible to somehow emulate PS2 games on it? I currently just have two in mind, Godzilla Save the Earth and Godzilla Unleashed. A friend of mine wants to sell me his old PS Vita for 50euros, he never uses it, but I would only be interested in modding and emulating for those two games.
      Would it be worth it? Would it be possible? Nothing greater than the point of view of a veteran. Thank you a lot

    My PS Vita addiction started in 2021, I was already using a PSP Go as my every day emulator pocket console. When I got my first PS Vita (2000 Model) it became my PSP Go's replacement for everywhere I went, playing all my retro games and PS Vita games I've never played and loved! Then after spending some time overseas, I got my hands on a PS Vita (1000 Model) and just loved the OLED Screen that it's now my main system when I want to kill time. I've been playing a lot of GTA China wars (because I love GTA but never played that title) and a ton of PS1 games that I never played full but remembered playing in my childhood. I hope Sony makes another handheld some day.

    Here's two useful things: Adrenaline Bubble Manager. You can take your PSP isos and PSX eboots that you've tossed on your Vita to use with Adrenaline, and turn each game into it's own individual bubble that'll appear on the Vita's home screen. You can even customize the bubbles with different images, different splash screens, and rename them to shorten 'em or remove extra stuff.
    Mix that, with the HexFlow Launcher, that acts as a replacement home screen, and you've got yourself a super nice setup. Don't get me wrong, the bubbles aren't a bad way to go, but when you have an SD2Vita, and tons of games, the bubbles can be a bit of a hassle to search through. In my case, between Vita, PSP, PSX, Homebrew ports, and Homebrew apps, I actually have more bubbles than the Vita home screen allows. So I have to throw everything into folders, and it's kind of a mess of having to scroll through bubble folders to find what I want. HexFlow has 5 categories it sorts games into (and you can manually change the category for something if need-be). Vita, PSP, PSX, Homebrew, and ALL. It gives you a nice big left to right scrolling list of all your games, with 3D box art instead of bubble icons.
    You can also use an autoboot plugin to force a specific app (like HexFlow) to launch automatically when you turn the Vita on, which is nifty.
    There's also apps for custom Vita themes. There's PKGj, which, while questionable, lets you download Vita/PSP/PSX games for free straight from the Vita itself, there's stuff like the Apollo Save Tool that lets you backup your game saves (great for if you delete a game, but don't wanna lose your save), TrackPlug to keep track of your play time on each game, VitaGrafix that lets you upscale and unlock framerate for certain games, there's a few different apps and plugins to let you overclock your Vita to make things run better, an app called Bubble Recall that can save your home screen bubble layouts (in case you need to re-do your bubbles). There's a plugin that keeps track of your volume level between speakers and headphones and auto-adjusts to whatever the last volume was for it. There's a couple different plugins that lets you remap your entire controller layout, including the touch screen and back touch pad (you can even set buttons to a touch point, in case you want a jump button on the back pad or something).
    As for Homebrew game ports, I personally have Grand Theft Auto 3, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, Max Payne 1, Bully, Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Chocolate Doom, PrBoom Plus (also Doom), and Mario 64. I also have Sonic Time Twisted, a whole custom Sonic Homebrew game. But I know there's also ports of Dead Space 1 mobile, and some Mass Effect mobile game, as well as a bunch of other things.
    And, mind you. You have Adrenaline. It's essentially an ENTIRE PSP on the Vita. As in, you can even run Homebrew PSP stuff, and use PSP plugins for PSP games. Even adhoc works between a normal PSP and the Vita.
    Like, there is a LOT of stuff you can do on/with the Vita, and people are still actively making ports of games, and new apps and plugins, as well as updating the already existing stuff.

    Vita is pretty useful for me. I have an RGH, hacked Xbox 360 and the Vita is a good replacement for a PS3. It has nearly full PS1 backwards compatibility and I'm able to play some PS3 exclusives that had Vita ports such as Sly Cooper Thieves in Time, Tokyo Jungle or the Atelier Dusk Trilogy. I was also happy to discover that the Vita has PSP hardware inside which allows me to play the entire PSP library so my SD card is pratically full at this point with PS1, PSP and Vita games.

    I held onto my slim black vita. Modded it a few years back. It currently has NES, SNES, GBA nearly a full library of games. And I used a vpn on it to get access to EU PSN store for titles that we didn't have over here in the US. Such as Pacman World(PS1) , Classic Spyro 1/2/3. As well as CTR and The Crash Bandicoot Trilogy. I did this while I was 17yr old. Was very proud of the modded vita. Altering the resolutions of certain GBA games was amazing. Metroid Zero Mission on the vita? I'm sold

    As a former psp owner, I naturally bought my vita launch model in white. The design was so outstanding from the standard back then. Unfortunately, more than 5 years ago, it was in my stored luggage in a hotel in California that it got robbed, along with a dozen games. So I don’t really wanna think about it again. And one day I checked and saw some activity updates from my vita account from my ps3 so clearly someone bought it second hand. As I’m right now satisfied with my ps4, switch and soon later ps5, vita will forever be in my memory thinking it was the most cutting- edge thing in the world. (Maybe someday I might buy another one I don’t know. I still have the cases on the shelf for my vita games but not a single game in them. )

And tearaway, child of light, both so good! I kedp dying in gravity daze but that game is so ambitious and amazing, no regrets.
