Customization. Enable date and battery percent. Change splash screen. Change Epilepsy Warning screen. Overclocking. And of course, Educational purposes.

Being able to use a ps3/ps4 controller is nice too, on certain games.

[@BytePen]

Didn't realize that was something you could do, but that's pretty awesome! Makes sense since the PSTV has it.

@@BytePen The plugins are called ds3vita/ds4vita by xerpi. You can also utilize 2 controllers to play 2 player locally on vita games, like pstv but on 1 vita. There's a wiimote plugin too :p but it needs work

[@BytePen]

That's pretty cool. I'll leave to check it out.

Which GBA emulator would you suggest?

[@BytePen]

Sorry for the late response. Look into RetroArch. It has emulators for everything and can be found on the Vita HomeBrew Browser. I believe GPSP is on there and it is pretty good, but it has been a while. I didn't have any trouble with any of them IIRC.

@@BytePen every time I've used RetroArch, it doesn't recognize all my games, especially SNES games?
