I may be 2 years late to this video, but I've always been fascinated by the Vita and finally decided to get one. This is one of the most helpful videos for me.
This may be the best idea for when I finally get a vita. I was blown away by this video man! I didn’t even consider the restrictions from Sony when it came to trying to stream or record from the PS tv. Sony has always been a stickler about that. But us in the community found a way around the PS3 debacle and now we’ve found a way around the Vita! So amazing dude! Absolutely stellar work and very informative! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
This is really cool! I’ve thought of modding my Vita, and this is definitely a reason to. I personally didn’t love my Vita due to many of the games not really standing out much for me, but I can see why many still love it! Great video man!
@@Pissbaby991 After everything is setup it is plug and play ready. All I did with it and my laptop was test the footage with the Elgato HD 60S. Thanks for asking!
It is such an incredible handheld. Luckily the vita community is continuing to make it one of the best handhelds out there. You'll have to let me know if you ever pick one up!
I actually finally hacked my Vita over this weekend, and I've had the thing ever since I had my PS4 (i got it as a combo deal when the PS4 first came out), and while I did have fun with it, I just slowly stopped playing on it over the years! It had just been collecting dust, and then earlier this year, there was the scare that the Vita online store was gonna be shut down (which the gamers managed to get Sony to keep it going, FOR NOW), and I had decided that I was gonna hack my Vita whenever I got around to doing so. I finally did get around to doing so this weekend, and all I have to say is that I should have done it sooner! As for using this dock method to play on the tv, I need to think on that for a bit, but I do appreciate the time you took to explain it! My personal thoughts about the Vita regarding it's storage are that if Sony had went with utilizing SD cards for storage instead of proprietary storage (the prices on those Vita cards were a little ridiculous back then but they're a total nightmare today), there probably would have been more people willing to give the system a chance during it's lifespan! Anyway, great work on the video!
That’s so cool! Yeah Sony has been making us all nervous about that store debacle. Thanks so much for sharing your story! Glad you enjoyed the video. You’ll have to let me know what you end up doing and how you enjoy your vita!
@@HallowedBeThyGame right now, i have retro games set up on my Vita, but I'll probably take on a raspberry pi project one of these days for retro gaming on the tv and just keep my vita exclusively for on-the-go retro gaming.. And as much as I want to buy some Vita games (the only physical Vita game i had was Gravity Rush, every other game i had was on PS plus at one point or another), i just don't have the money to spare for that... Anyway, appreciate the reply!
You know, you don't actually need the dock to hook up your vita to your PC. If you have it hacked, it will show up on your PC as a webcam running at 540p when you plug it directly in. You can use it as an OBS input device. I use line in for the audio. Been streaming with my Vita since 2020, and it works great. I was mostly interested in a simple solution to get it on my TV for couch playing, etc.
The vita was awesome but as you mentioned Sony just stopped. I will always love the gameboy color or advanced but the vita was fantastic and was one of the best handhelds ever.
@@HallowedBeThyGame I'll let you know, I've got a Vita cradle so I'm really curious to see if I'll be able to run the USB through that, I think it should work because you can run data to a PC through it and sync back and forth.
It makes me wanna buy 2 PS Vitas (1 unmodded for PS trophy hunting & 1 modded for Vita Dock purposes). Also it requires 2 PS Vita memory cards (for instance, transfer game save files from the unmodded Vita to modded Vita).
Yeah I definitely know what ya mean. Really love this PS Vita dock, but makes me frustrated that Sony abandoned this glorious handheld with all this potential left on the table.
Cool video, This pretty much kills any reason to get the pstv lol. Quick question though, can you unplug the vita charging cable from the vita dock while it is running like how you can with the switch? Cheers Bro!
@@HallowedBeThyGame Hey! Thanks for the response but I worded the first question poorly, I meant if you wanted to take it portably would you have to turn the vita off, unplug it and then be able to use it or would it just be unplug it from the dock and use it like a Nintendo switch is?
11month old comment but I've been going online w/ my vita for the best part of 4 years and have had nothing bad happen - one time I was kind of worried because it did say on my PS4 I was playing vitaShell but nothing bad happened haha - go nuts just don't cheat online and you'll probably be good unless Sony decides to piss off their most loyal fans
ps vita was so close to being perfect, evey time I watch a video on them I think, if only sony supported it and added R2/L2 buttons. at the point of release sony fully planned on going twards R2/L2 but kept only 2 solder buttons as the og psp had. I've been going though my first play though of killzone on my slim model and also wished there was a POV changer, playing in the zoomed display is a little agaring to me when ever I pick it back up, as I'm used to going between 75-90 pov on every other game. Also wished I picket it up before the online severs where down. Plan on modding my 1st gen model with an oled display eventually and adding the doc support with my vita, probably will add a usb switcher to pi since I use it for a few things and will be easier to use that way to swap boot devices than unplugging.
I tried it once, but it wiped my saves for some reason after installing the plugin. That's why I'm scared to use it again. Don't want to loose my progress.
Hi.... I have problem my vita not being detected by PC (Windows 10) using USB, let alone as a camera device. No matter whether I was using Vitashell or QCMA, it seems that the USB connection from my vita is not being detected at all. No notification sound or whatsoever. I'll try to connect to android box (using the USB Camera app) but still no luck. I've tried using 2 new cable but nothing being detected. Not even a Windows sound (as when detecting an USB connection). It seems like the USB data transfer has been disabled/ dead. But my Vita still can charge. My Vita is 1000 model on 3.60 Enso using SD2VITA 512GB full games with 8GB original Sony memory card, working well. I bought it second hand. I have 3 charging cables, all for test, but with no avail. They can charge but nothing on data transfer. When I plugged the cable, there wasn't a notification/ loading icon. What is wrong then?
This is something you could technically do but I would avoid involving your main account as Sony does not necessarily condone unlocking your vita to mods.
Do I need to invest in an expensive pc to get this done? I have a MacBook but I understand that it won’t work with my MacBook. Can I purchase a pretty inexpensive laptop to get this done?

No audio delay at all, syncs with video. Also no audio Jack on the raspberry pie but I plugged my headset into my speakers for the tv and it worked great. I had no audio sync issues.
hacked vita= cheep sd card storage. you can set it up for 30$ and have 128gb of storage. slap backups of all your games, and your set. also we have a way to play psp and ps1 games full speed, and several other consoles. therss even gta ports. diablo1, doom, comand and conqure td, and red alert. hack your vitas into the promised land.
THE PS Vita Dock, something you’d consider picking up? Let me know!
I have both a PSTV and Vita and this is incredibly tempting. Though I really want to avoid hacking my Vita where possible...
@@e102gamma2002 yeah it is definitely a conundrum. You’ll have to let me know if you ever pull the trigger. Thanks for watching!
i tried but couldnt get it to work with pi4
awsome

It’s such an incredible resource for content creation man. The vitaiand community is so incredible man!
This is great man. I absolutely love the Claptrap setup! PS Vita is still solid and so many great RPGs for that system.
Oh it’s right up there with the DS for me. So fun and yeah I love this Claptrap haha 😂
This honestly might be your strongest video yet. Stellar work.
Boom!
A giant thank you for sending me this glorious item! You are the mvp!

Man the hacking scene is amazing rn. You have the GTA trilogy, n64 emulator, dream cast emulator, gba etc.
@@Pissbaby991 gosh it is isn’t it? It’s unbelievably cool.
@@HallowedBeThyGame quick question, after you set up the raspberry pi, do you have to use a computer to activate it or can you just use your tv?

@Ace Anime This thing is just unbelievably handy. So psyched you have it again and are enjoying it! Thanks for watching :)
Great video. Hey, we love RPGs and the Vita too. Do you want new games for the vita too? We have some homebrew in development.
Cool ! Going to check yours and thanks for supporting psvita community homebrew
That looks sick I didn't know you could get something like that!
And great video bro👌🏽👊🏽😎🔥#growtogether

Honestly the benefits are mind blowing. You’ll have to let me know if you end up doing it! Thanks for watching 😃
Found your channel, looking for docking for Vita. Thanks for the video 🙂👍
Dock looks cool I m playing persona 4 golden on the vita right now 👍
P4G is so incredible. Definitely one of the goats 🐐
Welcome to Vita Island my friend.
It's a glorious place!
Awesome video friend 😄 to be fair I use my Vita to play, almost exclusively, Suikoden 1 & 2, but some day, maybe 👍
Oooo heck ya!
This was an awesome video. Thanks for putting it together.
So glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
The vita was awesome but as you mentioned Sony just stopped. I will always love the gameboy color or advanced but the vita was fantastic and was one of the best handhelds ever.
Gosh it’s so good and I love the GBA and game boy color. Such classics!
Pretty stoked to try this out.
You’ll have to let me know what you think!

You can earn trophies no problem on a modded vita, you aren’t going to get banned or anything.
Can the dock do anything else besides streaming? Can it upscale or add overlays? What are some other potential added values when using the Dock?
Cool video, This pretty much kills any reason to get the pstv lol. Quick question though, can you unplug the vita charging cable from the vita dock while it is running like how you can with the switch? Cheers Bro!
Hey thanks for watching! It is awesome but unfortunately it does need to be plugged in. The one setback I have with it.

@@Ace-pd2op sorry about that. I think I understand now. You can unplug it and use it as a portable switch still. So it is similar in that regard.
@@HallowedBeThyGame Looks like I’ll have to get around to making one of these someday! Thanks bro, have a nice rest of your day
@@Ace-pd2op Thanks I hope you do as well!
I love the vita, I own a 2000 and a vita tv. I’m still trophy hunting on the vita, so I won’t jailbreak mine until Sony takes it offline.

I might consider getting it if raspberry pi's drop in price,but for now,I can just connect to pc.

What type of raspberry pi do you use?
What are those grips / the cover over your vita? Looks cool.
Thanks! It is a trigger grip for the Vita that Amazon sold. Sadly I can't find the exact same model to link :(
Hi....

Does the Vita hack allow for playing other region stacks on my main account?
This is something you could technically do but I would avoid involving your main account as Sony does not necessarily condone unlocking your vita to mods.
@@HallowedBeThyGame I was under the impression Sony didn't care about the Vita in any way.
@@dj_helyx Genuinely lol'd just now. Yeah facts haha
Been using my main and having no problems using a hacked Vita.
@@davidgill7412 thanks for letting us know. I get this question a lot. It’s nice to hear from someone who’s used their main account.

Can you hook this up to a tv or does it only work on a monitor ?
If I were you I pair a PS3/PS4 controller & play PS VITA like it's a Nintendo Switch with a Pro controller.
can i use a switch dock as a ps vita dock?

I’m really hopeful. That’d be amazing and honestly seems possible?
@@HallowedBeThyGame one day 🙏
Where do I buy a vita dock?
After the store closes... Sure...
Is this only for the 1000 model?
No it just requires a hacked vita, any model.
Can I use 3.5 jack from vita to raspberry pi? And it is noticeable delay when using Bluetooth for audio?
No audio delay at all, syncs with video. Also no audio Jack on the raspberry pie but I plugged my headset into my speakers for the tv and it worked great. I had no audio sync issues.
Why do you need an IT certificate to use a ps vita?
Underrated comment
Nice 👍👏😃
Thanks 😊🤘
Will this work on any tv 📺
any tv with a hdmi adaptor and you should be g2g
I don't see the need for a product for this when a vita running cfw can do this with a simple plugin and obs.
You can literally just use the USB cable for the vita
Maybe the signal is compressed?
What’s that stand you have
It’s just a PS4 controller holder that’s had a hole bored out for the vita charging cable.
This is 👍
It’s so good 😊 vita is a beast!
What about input lag
I didn’t test it with fighting games but there is a small amount of lag but was barely noticeable in metroidvanias and action RPGs
