I decided to watch because Android is Android and I was curious to see if you do things differently than me. I wasn't expecting to actually learn anything and I was wrong. I feel like Zu from Retro Handhelds, "So, what did we learn today?" Well, Vita 3K looks a lot more approachable now than it did. Maybe it always was? I've never actually used it because the initial tutorials made it look like the juice wasn't worth the squeeze and then I kind of forgot about it... Thanks for that. I have zero nostalgia for the Vita. It was the console on the shelf I couldn't afford back when I'd bought my new PSP3K to replace my 1K. However, it has much newer versions of "MLB: The Show" and "Pro Yakyuu Spirits" compared to the PS2 and PSP, which makes Vita emulation relevant to me. In regards to PS2; for anyone who reads this I'd strongly encourage you to enable 16:9 output in the PS2's BIOS (Aether's Hamburger menu > Start BIOS > System Configuration) as one of the very first things you do as part of setting up AetherSX2. It is incredibly simple to do and really does make a difference. It's something that everyone should know about because it's not a hack. It's literally how the stock PS2 worked and a number of games, including some (all?) of the 'Burnout' entries, solely depended on it to enable their native widescreen options. It also won't impact 4:3 only titles. Once you've enabled this setting if the game supports native 16:9 then when you toggle the Aspect Ratio in Aether's settings to widescreen it'll be true widescreen instead of just a stretched 4:3 image. You paid for a console with a 16:9 screen, why not use it all, especially in cases where the developers intended for the game to be played that way?

I've had some micro SDs and two USB sticks from them and they've been great.
