Was the best little investment I made in regards to having a device that runs nes, snes, genesis, master system, cps, gb, gba, scummy, neo geo, mame, n64, ps1, psp and vita games......so much content for a small price.....the dream would be complete if it ran saturn games.
I'm extremely doubtful about a new Vita. They are firing developers and downsizing fast. Triple A games are being cut. It's not a realistic time for another console. It seems companies are happy supporting just one console with mid generation refreshes. There is always the PC market and portable PCs. With the PSP/Vita developer community, they are just above any other handhelds out there. I'm still want to find 3DS, DS, GB, GBA, GBC homebrew.
Im doubtful too bu hardware isnt software, is it? They can just build it and If they would be able to pull off ps4 portable man they dont need to release single exclusive game for it and everyone would still buy it imo
Hey has anyone here tried the hallow knight port for the Vita? I really loved the game and if I'd be able to play it on the go its one of the reasons i want to mod my vita. So is the Port Good?
I'm actually buying a Vita TODAY all because of your videos, I've been using the same psp since 2010 but unfortunately it's reached the end of the road recently and broke but I'll make sure it's spirit will live on through the Vita,thanks for all the great videos...all the love,all the power.
Man, I play my PS Vita Slim more nowadays than on my Switch OLED. Vita is very comfortable to hold and the libraries from PS1, PSP, and PS Vita are amazing. I also play arcade games on it, especially CPS1, CPS2, and Neo Geo at full speed (60fps).
I loved my PSP, but was blown away by my Vita. Modding it was the best thing I did. I've kept it exclusively for Vita and PSP games (i have a RG351P for everything else).
OH SHIT! Not you too 😂😂😂😂 You saw it too bruv!??? I just posted a video regarding this too 🤣🤣🤣 almost at the same time. Am glad you did too. This will be something to watch!!
I have both Ps Vita, and honestly, the Ps Vita is more worth it imo. I have three big reasons, one is build quality, Ps Vita is just better. Second is that a modded 3ds feels kinda... Fragile? I mean I always feel like something is gonna go wrong with the mod. Third is just the games, Ps Vita's library is just more to my liking. The only 3ds game that I really like is the MGS3 port, which runs at like 10 fps average.
Your take about the 3ds mod being fragile is a weak take. The modding on the 3ds line of handhelds is streamlined and easy. Both handhelds are awesome.
It kind of is. The only thing that it's better at is PS, PSP and obviously Vita games because it can run them natively. That's it. Everything else there are cheaper handhelds that can run them better
That includes me for buy PS Vita as because can run Vita, PSP and PS1 native. While Nintendo fan could still hack the 3DS and not only can run 3DS game, but also DS, GB-GBC-GBA, SNES and NES game native as well.
I have a 2DSXL, A PSVita 1000 and a Switch Lite (all with CFW), not to mention a Steam Deck LCD. And for whenever possible I'll always opt to play a game on the Vita or at least on the Switch (Technically I buy the game on Steam and or used physical respective copies if exclusives). Honestly the OLED itself is the biggest factor. I hope to hear news about the OLED mod for the Switch Lite, that may be the turning point in replacing the Vita, minus the exclusives.
Dude, a PS Vita is such an incredible little console. I've got SO many games to play on it... I would 10/10 recommend. Homebrew community is poppin forsure, and there are already tons of games on it. I just downloaded Monster Hunter Frontier (Japanese Version) and got the English translation patch, and then joined the Rain private server... I've been hooked and the population is huge on that game, surprisingly. It's crossplay too, so all the other titles work together on different consoles. Again... PS Vita is amazing. Just make sure you get a modded one. & I 100% recommend the OLED model because that screen makes a world of difference IMO.
@zealouschuck, A question there is memory stick mod that takes advantgae of the memory stick instead of the cartridge slot. Do you think in the future there be homebrew that will use that instead of the cartridge slot?
@@ZealousChuck I want to thank you for answering me. Sir i'm talking about a hardware mod, not a software mod. Mach nacho productions has it on his youtube channel, but it's for psp go. Is it possible to use it?
@@arasaleh8688 I think if we have something like a memory extended adapter that directly attached to memory card slot like the thing they install for PSP Go, It"ll be great. But I doubt it's possible bc of the back touchscreen that we don't have much free space to put the adapter in
@@antonynanh4164 that's exactly what I mean. It would be awesome. I think thwn if it's not possible, they have to make a whole new custom firmware for the ps Vita then.
Vita has been obsolete since Steam Deck released There's almost nothing on PSP/Vita that hasn't already been ported, remastered, and/or remade for other platforms The Dpad on the 2DSXL is easily the best possible DPAD design out there. I wish people would start using it smdh I've only ever handled a PSP as a kid, and I remember LOATHING the ergonomics. I hated the button/stick placements. AWFUL design. Thumb cramping. Compared to recently when I no-lifed my 2DSXL for about a month, I had no issues with the ergonomics. I never held it like a controller, more like a phone. Games like Metroid Samus Returns and Hyrule Warriors and Monster HUnter definitely required a grip tho
I resist a PS Vita the past 12 years and I had a PSP since 2008. Finally a trip to Tokyo Japan enhanced my decision to buy one preowned Vita in Akihabara. All good gadget trophy buy to the Land of the Rising Sun!
Doubtful Sony is going to make the new handheld backwards compatible. If you're looking for a handheld that's runs specifically on Vita hardware that's pocket able and running in decent frame rate, the Vita is still king as of Early 2024. Well until smartphones inevitably catches up.
Crazy talk ‼️ The vita is an all in one. I can play games,watch movies,play music ,remote play PS4…Bluetooth not to mention im playing PSP/Ps1/PSvita games with the option of android ports yeah that man has to be mad about something. Closing argument‼️ buy a vita OLED and 2K they are both good
i want to mod my ps vita but there's still a few games i own legitimately i like to play and collect trophies for. is it possible to switch between CFW and OFW and if yes, is it difficult?
PS Vita is fantastic but the grip on the oled version is not the best. It would have been nice to have a more ergonomic design similar to the steam deck
Argjhhh im so confused between getting a vita or a nintendo switch lite, being a playstation fan i've always wanted this, but in the other side, i want to play persona 5 which is not available for ps vita😢😢😢 god i wish i can afford this 2 at the same time
Me compre una psvita hace una semana y déjenme decirles: Que consola para más preciosa! Además, la sincronizo de manera offline con mi ps4 y juego los títulos triple AAA con la vita. Casi ni uso últimamente mi ps5, sobre todo porque llego cansado del trabajo y quiero jugar en mi cama.😅
I grew up with the PSP and had always been a huge fan of the system. When Vita finally came out, it was revolutionary.. til this day both handhelds blow me away with how much they're capable of especially with the CFW. For me, it's the ideal handheld for the best possible price. That's subjective to others of course, but I never plan on getting rid of mine. Great vid! 😎👍
I usually dislike analog controls and i think psvita has the best analog controls of any system. Most analog buttons are just too big for me to control comfortably but i guess some people have bigger/fatter hands than me so they find bigger analogs more suitable.
I really want to like my vita that I've had for years but I do have to agree with the other guy sadly regarding the vita's form factor and controls. I find I have to hold the vita in an uncomfortable/unnatural position to use the analog sticks and find my hand starts to cramp a little after just a few minutes - it's generally made worse too if I have to keep my fingers off the rear touch pad for whatever reason in the game. I don't love the feel of the sticks, dpad or shoulder buttons either really. It's such a shame because I love the work that the community have done on keeping the system alive and porting games over to it but I just can't play it comfortably 😥
Look into buying a grip for it. I recommend the PDP trigger grip although they’re kinda pricey these days. The trigger grip makes it feel like you’re holding a controller and it gives the L&R triggers an L2 and R2 feel.
with the ports of games like soul calibur and grand theft auto Andreas its the best time to buy one ..just the anticipation of what's coming out next is worth buying a Vita as the Vita will never die
Now that you mention it, just looked into vita prices and they have gone down in price exponentially. They were a couple hundred dollars not that long ago.
Yes it can still get Steam Deck, but only people who couldn't get as it now. For myself however, i will get a Steam Deck this year even if i still had a experience with Vita.
I think the Vita is good, but Adrenaline needs an update. Many things are still not working correctly despite Adrenaline supposedly using native PSP internal hardware. Adrenaline has issues that neither the PSP, or the Vita with installed PSP titles, run into. I would personally love to see an update, especially to games like Dissidia 012 where the menus only lag on Adrenaline and nowhere else after testing. Bubbles did not change anything. Otherwise, I'd say everything works as intended aside from Adrenaline needing more work. I mainly bought a Vita to preserve my PSP's dying and scarce battery, but if PSP titles do not work properly then it defeats the purpose of this, which feels disappointing.
@@Sairiui I played many games that need snappy inputs like YS Chronicles, YS Oath in Felghana which runs perfectly, Even the likes of Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 3 which is notorious for frame drops and stutter (even on PPSSPP) didn't had any input delay despite the poor framerate. I also "bunnyhopped" all the time in Fate/Extra CCC with ge-patch active and underclocked CPU and the game was perfect, even using touch custom controls there were no input delay. Dissidia is just one of the few games that somehow runs terribly on PSvita emulation no matter what you use.
@@GLDragon93 You understanding there's a problem with some games proves me to be right. There are many games with issues that only occur with Adrenaline and other programs emulating PSP games on Vita that need to be addressed.
I love vita library and homebrews but I think he's right about the buttons tho. PSP is way superior to the vita for buttons and dpad. Try to consistently pull hadokens or shoryhuken in street fighter on tiny vita dpad, it's not gonna happen and it's easy on psp
@@ZealousChuck For small sessions it's good, otherwise it's terrible despite being among the best d-pad out there. Playing BlazBlue games or Under Night on it made my left thumb hurt when pulling combos and special moves. 2DSXL is better although the games take quite a hit visually, don't know about the regular 3ds or new 3ds but if it's like the regular 2DS its just terrible, it's mushy.
boa tarde! amigo, excelente canal você tem, eu gostei muito seus video dublado português do brasil, queria saber por que seus videos recentes ja nao tem mais esta opção, muito bom pois nos no brasil menos 5 por cento aaber inglês, maioria do brasileiro nao saber inglês, educação nao e boa, fiquei bastante contente com seus video áudio dublados e português brasileiro, sucesso para seu canal que ganhem bastante escritos....
@@ZealousChuck neh, just told him my experience with the Vita. To bully or insult people who do think different from you is what makes the world the way it is nowadays. We humans do not listen to each other anymore.
As a psp 3000, ps vita 1000, new 3ds, ndsXL and Switch OLED owner, yes psp is more comfortable. But the vita is a fantastic console. Especially with the homebrew support. The application called VitaDB is enough on its own. In addition, being able to play PSP ps1 games makes this machine immortal, and if you have the 1000 series, with the oled screen. Ps vita will not die even if it comes in 3000 years. Personally, I would buy ps vita again instead of buying anberic devices. It is SONY's fault that it is a failed console, not the device itself.
Ciao, comrade. And great video about PS Vita like this, Chuck! But I don't care which better games library between PS Vita or 3DS. 🙂 😌When i'm play Aikatsu: My No. 1 Stage on 3DS and PSP Gran Turismo on PS Vita, play side by side on each consoles is the only thing to me and better in my opinion. 😁 👍
I have a modded vita and it helped me get through this Vacation im on, but i will say that honestly its not that comfortable to game on and i have small hands, the psp was more comfortable also the screen is too small as well but i want to make sure that its understood that i enjoy my vita and i think its a great system especially once it's modded, i just think now there are better options like the Ayn Odin 2 for example. And just for context i owned a steamdeck and I currently own a Lenovo legion go.
Are the shoulder buttons supposed to feel weird and wiggly? It doesn’t register all the way unless I press it from the middle of the button idk if that’s normal I just bought mine
I still have my vita oled and as much as I wholeheartedly love it, I believe there are a so many better alternatives right now - one's you can play way more games on the go. Vita still looks sleek and the best looking vs all of them though.
It sounds to me like he is a guy who gets annoyed over small petty things, I don't like fussy people like that, but I don't want to comment further on that because I fear you will kick my ass. Love your videos chuck
And FYI FPS shooting on the vita is fine either turn down the analog sensitivity and use gyroscope if it has to I never had any problems playing anything on My PS Vita
Mine's been worth it so far, but there are a couple games I've wondered if there are any ports for, specifically: - God Hand (Okami runs on the same engine, so they might have similar issues with being ported) - Unreal (there's TONS of stuff that uses unreal engine, so a port similar to the Xash one for GoldSrc would be awesome)
Ah yes, I came across that video. I don't agree with it but I can't imagine someone sending hate over it. That's just weird. It didn't upset me. I just kinda dismissed it as made by someone who either 1: Doesn't know what they are talking about, 2: Is clearly biased and not even trying to be fair, or 3: Is just trying to farm drama. And of course criticisim is not hate, which is why I appreciate you talking about this. 👍
If a person still has games to play on it, it's worth it. If they've played all the games already as well as most of the main ports then no. There just isn't enough major stuff happening on it.
I actually wanna do a retrospect video about the Vita. It was a system that had remarkable power for what it was. And it had so much potential if Sony gave it a proper chance.
i cant find psminis in adrenaline like you showed i have them in my downloads file in vitashell is there a folder specially for them that i need to move them to? also orginal gta and gta 2 bubbles any help thanks
hey vita people, for some reason I cant sign into psn on my vita (keep getting the same message) anyway I could care less about the store but I cant connect it to my ps4, anyone know how to bypass this to be able to just play remote play without signing in or actually being able to sign in? psn customer support time perhaps?
@@ZealousChuck i am not aware of what this is, i have a ps vita slim with an 8gb mem card and it was hacked the browser way. i had previously hacked this same exact vita the old way a couple years back but this time not only was it faster but i already knew a bit about the whole process. in short, after i had installed the bare necesities the only step i skipped was enabling sd2vita (because 8gb to me is alright also i dont have an sd2vita). 2fa u say?
@@ZealousChuck after looking it up yes of course 2 step verification, i now know an abbreviation but yes ive done the whole scanning qr code and signing into my account through my phone to generate those passwords but still i just keep getting the same message over and over again. i changed email, password, generated like 20 playstation passwords and still nothing. im scared ill be locked out forever and not be able to remote play
PS Vita, obzvlášť FATko, byla a je nadčasovej design, nemá to chybu. Jedinej problém mam se zadním touchpadem, ale stejně nevim kdy jsem ho naposled použil 😁😁😁😁
DO NOT BUY the ps vita... so I can buy more. I HATE... how amazing the ps vita is. It SUCKS... thats i dont have a second one as a backup. Its SAD... to think about anything happening to it. All jokes aside, the joysticks does kinda prevent you from playing for long periods of time, and not a fan of the back touch controls. Ive had to replace both joysticks, upgrade the memory card a few times, but i will never sell this thing. Still my favorite console with new ports and homebrews constantly coming in.
Do PSP games look worse on PS Vita 2000 through the Adrenaline emulator than on PSP? I'm considering getting a PS Vita 2000 mainly to play PSP games on it, but I've seen people say they look blurry, despite the resolution being exactly 2x of PSP's
En los ajustes internos de la app adrenaline hay filtros muy buenos que mejoraron un montón los juegos de PSP, para acceder a ellos se mantiene presionado el botón del logo de PlayStation de la Psvita y se hace click en ajustes y listo.
Pro tip: Get a raspberry pi 4 so you can play the vita on the big screen with vitadock+. That and the controller plugin, makes for a comfy night on the couch.
PSP games via Adrenaline look so blurry that it's a bit hard to enjoy. GE Patch solved this issue tremendously by allowing you to play in native resolution, but it has compatibility issues and is seemingly discontinued.
@@droo3010 you can play some psp games natively on the vita. They're available on the psn store. Plus I thoroughly enjoy playing psp titles and other retro titles. Don't forget the psp also had the ability to play ps1 titles, would it be strange to play those too despite its availability?
