    I’ve been thinking about picking one up lately, no idea why. I’m gonna take this post as a sign!

    Hacked mine recently and have been playing some PSP games in multiplayer with a real PSP over ad-hoc wireless that just works. It’s beautiful.

      I’ve been wanting to play Dissidia over ad-hoc between my Vita and Vita TV. Did you ever play online using the PS3’s ad-hoc party?

        I do not yet have a PS3 and did not have one in the past, so the answer from me is no, and I unfortunately know nothing about that.

          I assume it doesn’t work anymore. But you would set your PSP to ad-hoc, go into ad-hoc party on your PS3, find someone in a lobby with your game, and your PSP would act as if it found a local connection.

      How old/tech savvy is your brother? It’s not at all hard to hack them and it opens up a TON of versatility. I have one that has the OG Half-Life installed on it.

        He’s just savvy enough to be dangerous! So he bought it pre-hacked and loaded with software.

    Ah the PS Vita, reminds me of a quote from House of Cards:

    “Is that a PS Vita?” -Frank Underwood

    As a steam deck owner, the vita is the only other portable I still use regularly.

    I really disliked the functionality of luminosity detection in Assassin’s Creed to reveal the invisible ink letters and the rear touchpad that I always accidentally triggered but it’s the only think I disliked with this console. This console is a gem abd I hate Sony for killing support for it so fast.

    I wish they made games for it. It did a pretty good job of streaming and I put retro arch on it. Made it a great travel device.

      I owned a PSP Go a few years ago, it’s a great device. I loved how tiny it is, but the screen was a little too small for me, and it didn’t handle emulation that well. Loved playing Lumines and Patapon on it, though!

        yup it really is small but its also why i love the form factor, one of the truly portable handhelds i own along with the playdate. Hope i can snatch a Vita for a fair price one of these days too.

    I got a Vita TV recently and hacked it to put a larger memory card into it. I’ve been using it as a small PS1.

    I didn’t really want to hack it with emulators because it’s extra work and their actual PS1 catalog is quite expensive. But a few games that I own physically were never made available. Or in a couple cases, the digital games were blocked from Vitas for some reason.
