*non-moded vita and non-modded 3ds users trying to say which is better* *modded vita and modded 3ds users finally acknowledging how good both are*

I feel like Sony forgot the Vita existed 30 seconds after launch. It's ours now.

I still dont understand why Sony gave up on this gorgeous handheld I own a modded one and it is everything you want it to be

I still have my vita 2000. I kept it mainly for MGS2 and MGS3

I told my buddy to give me his Vita so I could mod it. He asked me, "what can a modded Vita do?" I told him, "what can't a modded Vita do."

My PS vita has been sitting around collecting dust for around 6 years, and it just popped in my head to mod it.

Just bought one a few days ago and couldn't agree more with you

I would love to see a new vita, look how popular the steam deck and switch are

It just needs a good ps2 emulator

The psvita has always been an intriguing thing to me as a Nintendo fan. Something about it just seems so magical, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is. It does look really nice to hold. I would love to get my hands on one someday.

The ps vita was ahead of its time. A true 10/10 console.

I've been using my boyfriends modded vita lately and wow, just the amount of content is insane, homebrew scene is brilliant and the nostalgia factor with dreamcast, n64 etc on something like this is wild.

If sony make a new ps vita but slightly better it'll be a masterpiece

Love how im now seeing a ton of vita videos after i accidentally bricked mine...

I sold mine 5 months ago and buy a new one full mod 1 week ago 😎

*I wanna see the Goat Simulator games ported to the Vita.*

I got the very first ps vita version. And I actually still have the very first version of the PSP with umd discs. The only thing that sucks is it doesn’t read my memory card anymore. But still works and I still watch movies and the Ali G show whenever I take a flight.

But if you are looking to buy a Vita in 2023 solely to mod it for emulation, rhe Steam Deck or its competitors may be a better alternative since it's more powerful.

I remember owning a vita and I loved the hardware I just remember not really having any games for it and I eventually sold it because I didn’t use it as much as I thought. 😪 it was such an amazing device to me and should’ve had more/better games

This video made me go on the journey to fix and mod my vita almost 8 years after it broke. Something told me years ago to not let it go. Thanks so much for this vid!

I loved the vita. Sony hated it to the brim. The first few years was the worst, not getting any games at all. Glad the home brew is giving it love like the psp

"aged like fine wine" lmao

Sony bosses sucks. They killed Vita - it was a great portable console and I seriously love the games in there. So much fun but Sony just suddenly told it off. Was so angry about it back then coz I can't comprehend why when it's actually doing so good as a console but releases became slower and slower and went slowest when sony quit on it.

Dreamcast?! Are you telling me I could be playing both Space Channel 5 part 1 and 2... ON 😮 MY 😱 VITA?! 🤯

I actually had my first Vita back in 2016 , it felt great except the high cost for Games and Memory Cards , a year or so ago I bought another Vita since my old one got water damage and I can't find it anymore, now I must say it's a great console for Emulation and with SD2VITA you actually have enough Storage for the nice high amount of games and Ports like GTA San Andreas and GTA 3 work pretty good maybe with except a error every once a while

dead space? really. i need to get one vita please..

Had my vita for 10 years and just now in the past few weeks I’m playing it I never did before never touched it i did not know I could mod it so easily now I am having so much fun it’s a blast!

I would love a updated and beefed up vita running on linux similarly to steamdeck, same form factor updated oled screen sheeet would be fire

This was the only handheld console I ever played, Now I’m 34 most definitely getting an anbernic.

I got my Vita 2000 back when Minecraft was still getting meaningful updates years and years ago. I used to play Minecraft and Get Off My Lawn all the time and recently decided, after a lot of thought, to mod my vita. It seems to have gone pretty well even though I’ve never modded any device before.

I have 2 PsVita 1000. First is the legit one my girlfriend gifted me years ago (playing right now muramasa rebirth) and the second one bought last year at 20€ that I have modded. Never the less I'm still in search of a PSTV to mod and connect to the big screen with a PS4 controller. Modding it is like unlocking his true capabilities. Great Console IMHO

I still have my psvita since 2013

I 100% agree because literally I never owned the Vita because it was here and then it was gone in the blink of an eye it deserved way better than what it got in the end

i have a modded 2ds xl and it is the actual best such good ports like Sonic Mania, SM64, Halo Revamped, Doom, DDLC, SRB2, FNaF 1, and even GTA 3! Not to mention the mods for native games like Smash 4, Mario Kart 7 (CTGP-7), and DS games like “Newer” Super Mario Bros DS!

PS Vita is my go to travel handheld. I have two, for me and for that one kid on every flight.

"We've seen a MASSIVE" **shows Mass Effect menu screen**

I loved my modded one. I had pawn it last year for rent money:/. its still at the pawn shop lol. no one wants to buy it for the $500 price tag they put on it smh

It's funny how when he was playing Cuphead his thumbs weren't moving 😂.

Vita still is one of the best spots for original Persona games. PSP remakes of Persona 1, P2: IS and P2: EP run natively on the system, plus you can also play Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden. This might change of the first three games' PSP versions get ported to another console or PC, but so far this is your best option.

Neither of my Vitas are modded and there’s still so much to offer. For example, it’s nice having MGS1-3 on there and a few Silent hills.

I still really struggle with getting the ports to work - I'm trying to do it all without a PC but can never find the files I need to copy, so get "CD Not Found" notices and stuff Definitely a steep learning curve to all this

Gta ports look so good with the oled, even the trees look like they're popping out the screen🤣

cuphead runs on the vita?! 🥺

Got mine recently straight from Japan!

I ordered a Modded Vita right when the pandemic hit & I have ZERO regrets!! Just wish I had a PC to add new games 😅 Looking to order a Modded NEW 3DS XL next!!!

I have a modded 3DS XL. Its amazing. I have also a PS5 and a 8K Highend Gaming PC.

I literally bought one again just so i can mod it and play all the vita games i played before even ones i couldnt play from other regions

In Vietnam, due to the popularity of the vita back in the map, tons of seller are hunting for old vitas in Japan and brought it back to Vietnam to mod it. They sell hacked vitas with 64gb card and it comes with 5000 games installed with a cheap price of 200 dollars. I just got one, and it perfect.

A modded Vita is the GOAT. I never liked the squared sides from the DS Lite and 3DS. Vita is like the Saturn/Dreamcast of handhelds. Catered to hardcore gamers while getting dropped after 2 years like DC did. Here are all my Vita games.. Assassin's Creed Chronicles Bastion Blazblue CP Extend Broken Age CounterSpy Dead Or Alive 5 Plus Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3 Venus Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Dragon's Crown Final Fantasy X HD God Of War Collection Iconoclasts Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Muramasa Rebirth Plants Vs. Zombies Rayman Legends Rayman Origins Rocketbirds: Hard Broiled Chicken Rocketbirds 2: Evolution Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Sly Cooper Collection Sly Cooper: Thieves Of Time Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Table Top Racing Tearaway Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Uncharted: Golden Abyss WipEout 2048 I don't like P4G, Gravity Rush, or LittleBigPlanet. Deleted them. Can always get them back. I liked Guacamelee and SteamWorld Dig 2 but decided to delete them. Assassin's Creed: Liberation is a rough game to look at. Such bad frame rates. I also have 13 PSP games including compilations that has Sonic 1 & 2, Shinobi III, Street Fighter II Turbo, and Mortal Kombat 1-3. I have 17 PS1 games using Adrenaline which includes my two all-time favs: Final Fantasy VII and Tekken 3. I also have another 20 games using RetroArch. People really need to check out the Vita. There are tutorials on hacking them all over KZfaq. Takes like no more than 10 minutes. The 3DS is cool but it's just not as powerful. Vita has 28 GFlops. That's more than Dreamcast, PS2, GameCube, OG Xbox, and Wii. The 6th generation is the most beloved and the Vita surpasses all of them in raw power. I also own a Switch Lite which I love too but Vita takes the cake. Lighter, smaller, more versatile like using my DualShock 4 to control it. Vita is the GOAT. My PS Vita slim covers these systems: Game Boy, Game Gear, NES, Genesis, Super NES, PS1, PS2 (a few), PSP, and its own Vita games. Add all the indies that the Switch eventually got and many smartphones already had. My Galaxy Z Flip 3 used to have apps like Lemuroid to cover those older systems from the 80s and 90s but is now used to emulate Dreamcast, PS2, GameCube, and Wii. I gave up on MAME ROMs mainly because I grew tired mapping the controls for specific games. My Switch Lite is used for some 7th/8th gen ports like AC4: Black Flag and The Witcher 3. I play NBA 2K23 a ton on it. For games I missed out from the Wii U which I never bought. For the many awesome indies that the Vita and smartphones excel in like Horizon Chase: Turbo and Oddmar. I bought an iPhone SE 3 for only $150 last Oct. I used that too for indie games. I have Life Is Strange, Forgotton Anne, and GRIS. I'll use my DualShock 4 to control them and my SE 3's case has a kickstand. I have a Sony, Nintendo, Samsung, and Apple to cover my gaming needs. I will eventually get a Steam Deck. Might take 4 years as Valve isn't looking to make a smaller version any time soon. I badly want to play FF7 Remake and Shenmue III. I'm not getting it for emulation since I already have that covered. It's to play newer games like Elden Ring. At 42 growing up from the NES era, I want quick and easy games that doesn't kill a lot of time and doesn't force me to rage quit. Vita, Switch, and a Z Flip are perfect for that as they're a combination of all my favorite consoles from 1985-2006 that I can take anywhere with me.

The PSvita is special guys!

I have not seen mine for 2 years, thank u dad

i am still rocking my modded ps vita to this day , ps vita & psp games & then added retroarch for my mame games / arcade games & i am all good also grabbed a modded new 3ds xl for all nintendo good stuff & you will still be set for years to come

Let's not expect companies to "care" about our favorite products, they're profit oriented, if it ain't making it rain, they won't bother

I would love one but way too expensive for outdated tech. For that price (typically $200-300) I would rather buy one of the dozens of new retro handhelds with updated tech. GPD Win 4 was really close but I’m not paying $1k+ for a handheld

Mass Effect Infiltrator & Dead Space Mobile do really well on the Vita.

Everyone is confused on why Sony gave up on the system. When part of the answer is the premise of this video. It was so easy to hack from day 1, nobody had to buy the games.

i love the vita for remote play 🔥

I have a New 3DS XL non-modded without a charger. Ordered it on Amazon yesterday. It's gonna arive tommorow.

I love my Vita... Not gonna mod it though knowing my luck I'd brick it

Sadly my little brother broke my vita. That was my favorite handheld! Would take it to school and play mgs2&3 and all my favorite rouge like!!!

I still collect for my vita. My favorite handheld console of all time

I love playing GTA San Andreas on my Vita!!! Absolute God their Vita game!!!! I just wish someone would put GT1 & GT2 in an easy to download and get on your Vita package!!! (Gran Turismo1 & Gran Turismo2)

I bet it is cool to have one. But the moment Persona 4 Golden arrived at switch the reason to own a vita died with it.

I still have my vita is modded with PSX, PSP and of course PSvita games. There's even a store that I can download any game I want

been playing resident evil 3 and FF VI on it like 3 minutes ago

Is there a way to port resident evil 4, resident evil dead aim, resident evil outbreak, and other ps2 titles?

I recently started looking into getting a ps vita (I already have a modded 3ds) I wanna mod it because of the vocaloid content and minecraft stuff

It's fully capable, and we love it

I totally agree i have a modded vita love playing on it i love the n64 and ps1 classics on it and it’s a powerhouse if u put a large sd card in it currently i am running a 256gb card and i have a large library off games almost 70 games on it to choose and play from.

I have a modded vita, but I've got terrible stick drift as just wish I could get rid of it. The drift, not the vita. But, I've got all my retro emulation sorted with a retro handheld

I wish some one would port sonic generations

I have 8 PS Vitas and I JUST started nodding them this year. I am in heaven. 😊

The worst is the battery consumption 😂 in that hanheld

Yes but please, use 4:3 aspect ratio for retro console emulations.

I live in India and my Vita is needing a repair. I can do them but there are a lot of problems with getting parts for it in India.

Cuphead unofficial ports is raw for every device that has it

The strange Is that probaly few these games where One point been officialy ported to thevita included the Lil fated bioshock vita Port.

So glad i went ahead and bought a refurbished one.

Been loving mine!

The funny thing is that the Vita is atleast as powerful as a modern Nintendo switch and it can BOTW. I need a Vita!

Yeah i loved the ps vita. Going to re buy two of them One slim in blue and orher all white

I just put all my retro games on my stream deck and left my Vita alone.

Dude I still have mine I’m gonna have to homebrew it. I hope the memory cards aren’t still stupid expensive

Vita homebrew is so good, but if you’re getting one for purely retro emulation, there are lots of better options nowadays that are more open and easier to Navigate than the Vita. Add that to the fact that Vita is harder to find and more expensive than most. Get one if you really want to play Vita games.

Vita and 3ds are goat handhelds and add the modding you can do. Peak devices!

Just saying when the q lite comes out I expect the demand for vitas to go up I know for a fact these are going to be rare

Holding out for a sonic heroes pc port to vita

By the way, modding your console almost always has some kind of bug that will ruin your modding experience. *cough* *cough* PS3 *cough*

as nintendo was cashing in on my nostalgia nowadays, i just let it collect dust while my old vita lives. Considering making a game for it instead of buying steamdeck for unity developing

Modding is very challenging, to find roms and not get a virus is also an issue. If someone sold a modded PSP Vita with the N64 and Dreamcast games I would rather buy it preloaded by the seller than for me to have to set it up myself

Yo cuphead is on it 🤯

Honestly if sony just repackaged it and sold it again itd probably outsell switch. I love my switch but my vita has a special place in my heart

People complaining about Sony dropping Vita support clearly dont understand how sales work…

I have a vita that I bought in 2011 or 2012 , modded it around 2018 and it still run pretty well 'till this day, albeit the rubber on the thumb stick peeled off and there's a bit of a burn around the screen when it wasn't switched on. The control was still on point with no drift what so ever.

I bought a psp from a local game store a few months ago before I moved and I went back the day after to buy games and they had a vita that cost 20 dollars more than I had left :(

If it’s got nova 3 I’m sold

Vita means life

I’ve always wanted to do this but I’m scared I may get banned from psn if I did mod mine will that happen??

Mario on Vita my nightmares are coming true🫣

om tbe vita its like: Unmodded its a beta device, modded its a full release console
