Thx for the explanation.... hours lost looking how to get it running. Till I found your video. thx!!!!

[@DNAMobileGaming]

Hey no problem! Hopefully the developer keeps working on this emulator & makes it not overheat devices like it does lol.

[@jj-gs3ll]

Thanks for this man, really appreciate it. I can finally play Persona 4

Ha this is the video I found to bring me back to the gaming world after 9 or 10 years of a gaming free life so glad to be back thanks dna

Hopefully Vita progresses too there are quite a few games on Vita I've found that I'd love to get on the Odin 2!

Glad I was able to get you all setup! One day hears hoping, that this emulator will be fully capable of playing 90% of the games!

What a chad, you even showed how to download the game. You deserve wayy more subs!!

Weird not sure.

does this work for retro pocket 3+ and if so can you make it one of your platforms

[@DNAMobileGaming]

Currently no, I tried setting up the Playform. In regards to games working, very small amounts will work I watched someone else testing games but they were 2D style games that required little rendering. My S20 FE has way better specs than the 3+ and it still has issues.

It should perform okay, mind you it is really early in development it even has issues on the 8 Gen 2.

I keep trying to install firmare but it keeps kicking me out the app and im using a red magic 8s pro

[@DNAMobileGaming]

Hey after you've downloaded both files, close the app. First install the font file which should be called PSP2UPDATE.PUP then install PSVUPDATE.PUP I think this is a bug. I just messed around with this on my Odin Pro & the crash happened to me too.

[@JesusChrist-mh5uv]

@@DNAMobileGaming I closed the app and tried installing the files again but it just closed the app on me but thanks for replying I appreciate you

[@DNAMobileGaming]

@JesusChrist-mh5uv I just tried on my S22 Ultra too maybe your .pup files are corrupt. The font file is approx 55mb the firmware is 130mb check your files. Your phone should install fine, last resort clear storage/cache re-download the firmware and try again.

[@makityson7288]

​@@JesusChrist-mh5uvI've had same problem but found fixed solution,all u need 2 do is keep every vita3k file u downloaded(app,game,firmwares,drivers) in same folder like In this video that he named (psvita)folder, basically make 1 vita folder and throw everything inside it,so it will connect correctly without errors trust me,hope it help's man!

[@dani-ok5al]

I have a moto e 20 that was able to flawlessly run PSP, but none of the vita emulator versions were compatible, I literally tried them all🤨

[@DNAMobileGaming]

Vita is harder to run even on my Redmagic or Ayn Odin 2 as it's still in development. PSP emulation can be ran on lower end devices configured properly because it's been around for longer. With the fact that your device has a Unisoc processor, you can't even do things like install new drivers which do help with a lot of emulation on Snapdragon devices even with other emulation like Wii/GC/NS/N3DS.

[@dani-ok5al]

I understood a very small part of that but it means that I can't, so I'm just gonna keep trying to get play! To function, since there I had a 7z and rar and other apps told me it's corrupted, not allowing me to extract it, but maybe I just messed up the download or something

[@DNAMobileGaming]

@dani-ok5al hey you won't be capable of playing most if any games with that phone after looking at the full specs

[@dani-ok5al]

Well, you also answered another question of mine about why a lot of Google play store games don't even work so thanks, didn't know it was just because my phone is trash

[@dthomas4566]

Could have extracted the file inside the folder with ZArchiver pro no ads and easier way to do that

[@DNAMobileGaming]

Well of course you could use ZArchiver any zip extraction application works I just chose that one at the time for quick ease of doing this. Rarlabs also works fine too, as it's a tool I've used for years.

[@momokoko1101]

What drivers works well withe snapdragon 8 gen1

[@DNAMobileGaming]

I'm going to be doing some testing with my S22 Ultra more soon! The default Vulkan GPU has a huge boost over using OpenGL for intense games but you'll notice your device battery consumption go up & the heat it produces increase. I want to see this emulator progress to be usable but currently buying a PS Vita is the best cheapest way imo.

[@momokoko1101]

@@DNAMobileGaming I think you're right bro a hacked ps Vita is the best solution

[@DNAMobileGaming]

Vita emulation has a long way to go before doing anything like this, I even tried it again yesterday because I wanted to see if it progressed but it still has not progressed any more than what it was months ago. I'd rather use my PS Vita which can emulate a lot of retro consoles as well.

The link for the emulator is in the description.

Dang maybe the Exynox phones will get better performance later on I think the developer(s) are keeping Snapdragon Processor in mind but again this is still early development. Maybe by next year it'll be better OR dead depends on the developers lol

There is a huge compatibility list I will come back to this when the emulator gets better but the Ui really really hurts my head to the point where I want to just buy a PS Vita and hack it! I know having the all in one emulation device is a dream but being so new, VIta emulation has a bit to go.

Exactly, cheaper to buy a PS Vita then hack it 😁 I have yet to test it on my S22 Ultra but sure it won't be much different especially with the heat it produces!

[@bryantnonya8704]

Why would you encourage people to purchase a PS Vita rather than support PS Vita emulation? At least the emulator will develop into something that allows the mainstream population to enjoy the PS Vita while the actual official PSV hardware was never really supported by Sony... Coupling that with the fact that it's actually a good piece of hardware that has some really good games on it for collectors to jack up the price and make it more expensive for the average person to get the hardware and games... Honestly I don't like that because collectors have effectively ruined classic gaming for regular people who want to enjoy classic games...

[@DNAMobileGaming]

Well good sir, I love emulation but in my mind it is cheaper to buy a PS Vita and hack it to play every game in the library rather than trying to configure settings all day to make games work on $1000 devices rather than a $200 PS Vita. I shared this guide however to support the development but at this time unless you have a powerful phone as stated, I don't believe this emulator is anywhere close to being ready enough to support it 100%.

[@bryantnonya8704]

@@DNAMobileGaming okay for one before you know it a PS Vita is going to cost you $1,000 and for two I know it's backwards rationalization but I would rather pay $1,000 to preserve the platform... Not to mention that a good smartphone has many more uses than just playing PS Vita games...

[@DNAMobileGaming]

@@bryantnonya8704 yes I know mind you I can't see a PS Vita going up in price any time soon. I've been watching prices drop rather than go up on both the Vita and PSP 1000/2000 series. I actually have been sourcing one out trying to buy local because most local ones I've seen for under $140 CAD for a 2000 series. Even just checked eBay tonight as well and $180 shipped CAD for one in great condition with box charger etc. I get where you're coming from though and again not against the developer doing this hence why I shared it. But I like to be up front with anyone that pops by about this stuff so not everyone thinks that their $150 smartphone can handle this emulation.

[@bryantnonya8704]

@@DNAMobileGaming speaking of low prices back when the PS Vita first hit the market GameStop had a 50% off deal on the PlayStation TV and it came with the VR glasses for free!! So I went to Walmart without a receipt and just exchanged the PlayStation TV and VR glasses for a PS Vita. I might have had to pay a little bit of cash I don't remember but I think I only had to pay a little extra because I also got a memory stick as well... I feel like that's one of the most brilliant retail exchanges in the history of Black Friday because I used Black Friday to legitimately get a Black Friday deal on something that was going for full retail value on Black Friday...
