I Upgraded The PS Vita, Now It's Even Better

Playstation Vita was already a great handheld, but after jailbreaking, it's made it even better.
Thank you for watching the video, leave a like would you kindly?

They ported untitled goose game, cuphead and hollow knight to the vita also a night in the woods.

[@ZenSymphonia]

And also ported The World Ends With You, one of the greatest games ever made

[@TheGentleCreepers]

Welcome to the world of the PS Vita Homebrew!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I love playing GTA San Andreas, Vice City, GTA 3, Bully, and Max Payne in here!!!

[@ROCKSTARMANIC12]

Wait how do they run??

[@TheGentleCreepers]

@@ROCKSTARMANIC12 They are ports of the mobile version with fixed features and bug fixes. Basically someone made an APK loader into the Vita which can make it run on the device. I highly recommend Modern Vintage Gamer's video about the GTA San Andreas on the PS Vita. He has all the details you need straight from the person who made the ports.

@@WittyFalls yup, Max Payne in 60 fps.

I remember jailbreaking this back in the day and it took hours. Glad it doesn't take long now.

[@エルデンリング-隻狼]

Connect the Vita to the PC with a cable. Open Vitashell, press select. This way you don't have to remove and insert the memory card every time.

[@Recoveryanonymous]

You can also connect to the vita with filezilla from your pc

Vita: Mid handheld before mods. Vita after softmod: GOAT 🐐 Seriously this thing is probably the best 1st party handheld to mod. The fact that Sony themselves fumbled the Vita is a shame. But the internet gaming community brought new life(Vita) to this console. Forever grateful to own one.

[@Raphtor13]

Love my modded Vita. Vita I had since launch and finally modded a few months back.

[@oblivieon1567]

One of my favorite tutorial KZbinrs is sthetix. His guides are the best I've ever seen.

[@simracingchannel7691]

Yes the Vita is amazing and totally worth it. You can install games directly on the Vita trough pkgj. Also you can install retroarch and N64 Daedalus and emulate everything up to N64. Then there is also android ports that people make for the Vita like GTA 3/VC/SA, Bully, Taxi driver, Geometry dash etc. Also you can get custom themes, make homescreen bubbles for your emulated games and do stuff like overclocking for some more performance. All that combined with its superb portable form factor and design that was way ahead of its time. It truelly is one the best handhelds ever made.

[@pamelazandisilembele5829]

I like the lighting in the video

[@jameshemminger]

I don’t have mine with me but there an app on the vita after jailbreaking it where you can download all the the vita psp ps1 game directly on it

Bro that PS1 Spider-Man game is amazing. I replayed it so much as a kid lmao not sure how it’s held up, think I’m gonna download it for my Vita

What accessories

[@tommyi]

been debating on getting one the past few days, no longer a debate

[@jacoblvszeke6936]

is there any specific place I should get these because I wanna pick one up but I don't really feel like spending 200 on one and it being all scratched up but if that's how much the hobby is I wont mind too much

Kind of regret getting rid of my VITA but honestly I never really played it.

[@UNOresto]

You don't have to choose between dualsense and ps vita, just connect it via bluetooth

[@marcorivas1534]

I had both versions OLED and LCD and I really like the LCD, not because of the display, but the console in general, I rather use the nano USB cable instead of that other cord sony had with the 1000 Mode, console is lighther and better shaped for confort and yes, the LCD is a downgrade in color and contrast from the OLED but, for me, it's not a big deal, it was a console to play casual games on the go while I was waiting for something or someone, maybe during a train ride or stull like that, in any case, Vita is still amazing, I will get another one soon and fill it with emulators and roms.

[@ShedDaBassRadio]

How did you get Tony hawk pro skater on your vita I have a jail broken ps vita and it's not on home brew list

[@markusmitchell8585]

As much as I love my modded PSVita i still think a modded PSPGo is the best handheld system of all time

[@omegamanGXE]

Why is that

[@MadnessMan13]

As someone who really wants to give this a go mostly for the adrenaline application. How easily is it to find the files for the games? Are all psp games available to get on the Vita? NFL Street 2 Unleashed would be one of the ones I’d be looking to get on my Vita.

[@TheSayanTurtle]

Well it's on the pkj and it doesn't have every PSP game

[@KabukiKid]

the ones not on the app that @TheSayanTurtle mentioned are generally pretty easy to find online. Google is your friend. ;-)

[@matthewpere1975]

If not on pkgj doesn't have it you can find rom/iso and use vital shell app you get when jailbreaked and send to vita little more steps but works.

[@cheeeeezewizzz]

Google pkgj

[@nathanmilliken4728]

I still love the vita. I have 1tb of storage and its over half full with games. It was ahead of its time and its sad that sony's incompetance with marketing and overpriced memory cards.

[@nermor]

[@MackDaddyVic]

This is definitely cool and all, but I got a Steam Deck OLED and that thing blows the Vita away to shreds. I have every PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Nintendo game imaginable. So it just makes this obsolete for me. And emulating on the deck is way easier to set up than jail breaking this vita.

[@princewashington7695]

Do you think the steam deck is better than the vita😮

[@ryanbrancel]

An issue is the Vita3k emulation does not work well for all Vita games.

[@XtremeBG]

for the PS3 this is not true. There is no need to follow the whole tutorial. For example I just downloaded the HFW and the CFW right after that, I install it and I was ready. The whole dumping thing is not needed.

Now get a jailbroken ps4 pro and put an ssd in. You will see almost no need of owning a ps5. Jailbroken ps4 does a lot of things and feels like a different console. You will have options like a pc and tweak different graphic settings. Just have to watch tutorials on how to get everything done and it's easy. I'm having much fun with the ps4 actually.

I think it was underutilized more than anything. So much potential but nothing to do with it on release and not a lot of marketing

[@84Eraursls]

@@jeremymcadam7400 I think it was under developed for because of the lack luster sales. I also think a big part of the poor sales was do to the memory card prices. I always wanted one, but I waited for years for the memory cards to drop in price. I gave up, and only recently got one.

[@OzymandiasWasRight]

I ordered a Vita an hour ago. Now comes that looooong wait on shipping. I would say I'm a handheld enthusiast. Some of the best times of my life happen in my hand 😉. The OLED screen was a big deal. I've never owned a fancy screen before. I cannot wait to own such a versatile device, I loved the PSP but I know almost nothing about the Vita library. An entire library of games to discover. Edit: wow. You're really good at this. This was an excellent video. Def subbed!

[@KabukiKid]

I can testify that a 512GB card works fine in a modded Vita. Mine is STUFFED with games and emulators and I only have 1GB free, at this point. lol I'd say to look at some of the impressive ports people have made for the Vita and also a bunch of the emulators the thing can run. I seriously have thousands of old-school games emulated on my Vita. I love stuff like old NES, SNES, GBA, C-64, Vic-20, Atari 2600/5200/7800, Sega MasterSystem, Genesis/Megadrive, Turbografx and CD, Sega CD and 32X, MAME, Atari 800, ScummVM games, some N64, Amiga, Lynx, ColecoVision, Odyssey II, DOS games in DOSBOX, Intellivision, Vectrex, Game Gear, Infocom Z-Machine, and even some random single-game handhelds. It plays most everything I listed here pretty well, so if you are into old-school games like I am, there is a lot you can do with it. :-)

[@cheeeeezewizzz]

I put a 1.5tb card in mine. works fine

[@yournightmare9999]

If you own a PS5 and since your Vita is modded you should check out the new updated version of Chikai It allows you to use remote play with your PS5 on your Vita but it is still being updated so at the moment it's only recommended for turn based RPGs

As a matter of fact, modding a vita (or playstation TV if you're like me) includes adding a file browser on the vita. Pressing select in the file browser actually starts an FTP mode that you can wirelessly connect to (and is needed when modding a playstation tv to add files to, as it can't connect to pc wired)
