So I tried that new VITA hack everyone's been talking about…

"requires a micro USB cable" Me, who owns a 1000 model: "think thats hard? Hold my beer"

A Vita feature that nobody talks about is the fact that you can use the camera to make (slightly janky) 360 panoramas. It was one of my favorite things to do whenever I took my Vita with me to various conventions I've attended.

Guy buys a vita, whines about finding a USB cable.

I actually found I had better luck with retro emulation by using the emulators that were made for the PSP and running them inside Adrenaline, as the PSP was an emulation machine. At least for what I played, which was mainly SNES, GBA, and NeoGeo/Capcom arcade systems.

I tried this updated Vita hack after helping you out on Twitch, and it was super seamless. There's a couple of things this has enabled me to do that I'm really happy and excited for. EDIT: By the way, at 7:40 I didn't find the ULUS code for MGS: Peace Walker on my own Vita, I found it online. I only just got to watch the video (and thank you for the shout-out!) but just that part wasn't correct. Any game's UL code should be findable online.

One thing you missed were some of the homebrew ports of old games to the system - for example there's a native port of SM64 that runs way better than Daedalus. Among my favorites are AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake) and Cannonball (a port of OutRun). Also it's sad to say but you might also have more luck in the emulation department by running some of the emulators made for the PSP within Adrenaline, like Snes9x and gpsp. They're on the whole older and less accurate than the native Vita ones, but accuracy doesn't count for much when you can't run the games full-speed. Finally, and this is a bit of an "🤓Umm, actually" comment: the PSP and PS1 emulation on the Vita is so good because technically it's not emulation, at least partially. The Vita has a secondary MIPS CPU specifically for running PSP mode, and the PSP CPU's instruction set is a superset of the PS1's so the PSP itself was actually running PS1 games natively.

There are quite a bit of games that the community has been able to port games like Super Mario 64, the GTA trilogy, and Sonic Mania. Not every game runs perfectly, but overclocking the system can help stabilize frame rates for a good handful of games. It still is best for PS1/PSP/Vita titles, but the hacking scene is incredibly dedicated.

a lot of the emulators, if there's a psp version available, will work better on adrenaline than the vita native ones, mostly down to how much larger that scene was and how much more work went into them.

13:42. Btw to clarify Adrenaline is not in the traditional way an "Emulator" like most emulators are a softwares that emulate hardware, instead It uses dedicated PSP hardware that the PSVita has to run the PSP mode including the backwards compatibility it already has for PSOne. The Adrenaline is pretty much unlocking the software the PSvita already has to run the PSP and PSOne games, and let you use it without restrictions. Sony, did really amazing working with the Vita.

The thing I loved about the Vita was the suspend completely powers the device down, you can come back months later and the same game is still resumable.

The only reason I hacked my Vita was to use an SD card for storage. I got tired of not being able to fit all my games onto 1 card and the proprietary ones have always been ridiculously priced.

why would you let temu sponsor?

I really don't understand how are you having so many trouble with these hacks, I honestly had more issues doing the 3DS hack than the vita lol Edit: typo

2:24 If your GBA roms are lagging on your PS VITA there is definitely something wrong with either your Vita or Retroarch settings. Mine runs flawlessly.

Some of my favourite things to do is push hacked consoles to their limits with certain types of home brew and game emulation. Some worth note are homebrew ports of Sonic Mania and Final Fantasy IV 3D (these also exist in other homebrew community’s like the 3DS; it’s pretty fun to see how they compare). If you want decent emulation for GBA on a PSVita I would recommend gpSP for the PSP (it’s actually a PSP home brew that you run in adrenaline). There’s also cool UI things like making bubble icons for your PSP games and homebrew. I’d say a nice addition would be FTP clients to wirelessly send games to and from different devices (I’ve transferred GBA games to and from my hacked PSVita to my hacked 3DS; seeing those two consoles talk with each other is fun). Finally I’d say the retro flow launcher is a cool piece of homebrew that displays your games similarly to the Wii’s wiiflow application that can categorise your PSVita, PSP and PS1 library with cover art and a cool UI. Glad to hear you had a better time this round; I personally enjoy the struggle of unlocking the devices I own 😅

I don't trust Temu, it looks even sketchier than AliExpress

The PSVita also has an insanely good sleep function. That's what sleep is supposed to be, huge difference to Switch or 3DS. Dunno about the steamdeck.

I hacked my Vita about 3 years ago. Found a tutorial on YouTube and easily did it over the weekend. Added retro emulation, access to free games from psn store, overclocked it, changed the splash screen, main menu and bgm as well as adding micro sd access. No issues.

Gravity Rush is a criminally underrated game. It's a must play for anybody who has a PlayStation Vita or PlayStation 4.
