I was able to snag a Vita 1000 series for 60 bucks. I modded the hell out of that thing with a 256 GB SD card. As of today, there is 3 GB of space left. Things escalated quickly.
@@swayonsight9744 There are tons of videos on how to mod Vita’s. Of the dozens of systems I’ve modded, it’s one of the easiest. All you need is a computer, a Vita with some memory (either built in or the propriety memory card), and the Vita. I would say that even if you don’t plan to run any other homebrew, I would still mod it to allow you to use “SD2VITA” device that allows you to use a standard SD card in the game card port.
I got a vita 2000 over the weekend. Modded it after 20 minutes of learning everything. Then bought a 512gb micro sd. Now going for platinum in multiple region games 🤙
The vita community is the most stubborn dedicated and talented community I have seen and from what I can tell it’s the most fan loved console I know of.
The Vita is my favorite hand held of all time. With a SD2VITA I was able to get all the storage I need. All of the emulators you can get for it are amazing, especially Adrenalin and Retroarch. I have over 700 games on mine right now, which is my original Vita that I got day one when it came out.
Personally, I’d also like to add that I’m a big fan of the Nyko power grip for the 2000 Vita model. The size is perfect for folks with longer sized hands! And not only does it make longer play sessions more comfortable, but you also are able to extend the already decent battery life even further. Lastly can’t wait for your WiiU video. I personally don’t own one, but I’ve heard good things about it… at least the games, that is.
I agree with you. I have a Nyco Power Grip on my 1001 and 2001 and love them. I thought I was going to have to mention the Nyco but very glad to see someone else out there with one. 😁
I been a vita gamer since the day it came out , if you and the whole world would of given it a chance when it came out the vita would still be here , it was so magical and never regretted it once , I bought two at launch 🚀 and I gotta say I was satisfied with my vita , it definitely was a bitter sweet moments with the vita but I didn’t have to wait until the switch came out to experience next gen gaming in the palm of your hands 🙌
Coming from using the PSP almost daily, this was a huge upgrade to me. Larger screen, dual analog sticks, a touch screen, etc. It was pretty amazing. The problem was that app stores were getting popular at the time and you could download many games for your phone for free.
I have the same grip but honestly I'm finding myself use it less and less, it's not that its uncomfortable, it's just that compared to my switch with grips, 3ds xl with grips, and steam deck, it's nice to have such a small and powerful handheld
@@animejoe4041 well it's not fully abandoned, but they sure seemed to have tried to kill it. The memory cards were a chunk of the reason people didn't want to deal with them. I always planned to get a larger capacity and never ended up doing it. SD2Vita is the only reason I have an increased capacity now.
I didn’t even think about a usb c connector on it. But honestly this is some of the best content out there. Hope your channel grows bigger than it is. Keep up the work! ✌️
Using a 1tb sd card is the best thing. I have a 1000 and 2000. I love them both and I don't think I am never going to sell them. There is too much support.
I got a vita a while ago. (2019) The first console I modded. I got it specifically for modding to emulate GBA games, but I have done SNES emulation as well and have checked out some Vita games, like Tearaway.
Don’t forget y’all that you can use remote play and AirPod pros with the PS Vita. I have the original OLED model and. MW 10v10 works perfect. Metal gear online. Kill zone shadow fall works flawlessly. And you can access your PS4 from anywhere it’s WiFi
Could you please bother to tell me, why would someone buy ps vita in 2022 when we have switch lite at almost same price. You can play latest games online on switch not on vita. You guys don't even have Dragon ball fighters or Naruto games for vita lol ..
@@Abhishek-or7wu Because once it's modded properly, you can download almost every vita, ps1 and psp game out there. Not to mention all the retro systems before vita. I have a 1tb memory card in mine & have over 30k games on it. Also, you can remote play Naruto games from ps3 or ps4
I just bought the L2 R2 & L3 R3 triggers with a case and an SD2Vita card with a 128GB memory card so I’m gonna follow your tutorials once that comes through
I have the Vita 1k-3g model w/molecular chip, VitaTV w/2tb HDD usb, Vita 2k w/400gb EVO Sd2Vita, PsPgo 16gb M2 card w/PSP-N340 dock, Playstation 3D Display, and 2 ps3's. I am always amazed at how far the Vita has come.
@@adonis431 I used the "USB Y-split cable" from my hacked Wii, to power the Western Digital Black Scorpio HDD. Then I needed to use a USB power block that supports input/output requirements of the HDD, since the HDD must have its own power. (Correction, the 2tb is the Samsung spin point model: ST2000LM003
I love the Vita. Once modded, the system really takes off… but I think the touch screen on the front is kinda junk. Maybe mine is just glitchy but it acts really oddly when I try to move icons around and with touch heavy games.
@@visualdosage234 You’re probably right. But it’s not like it “doesn’t work”. It just doesn’t act as nice as, say, an iPad. My guess was that they just didn’t use good enough code/hardware as dedicated touch screen devices. There was one game (Severed I think) that straight up plays like trash with the touch screen. Again, you might be right but I’d hate to replace the whole thing and find out that the Vita is just not calibrated as tightly as more modern tablets/phones.
@@leeartlee915 never tried severed, ill install it tonight and let u know if it works for me, youre right about the bubbles though sometimes dragging the bubbles around a game might end up in a wrong folder lol
@@jamiemorgan3649 I mean maybe. But it seems to be related to how the touch screen is designed/programmed. We’ve all been using electronics for 15 years and the Vita is the only one who I’ve struggled with (again, specially the touch screen features).
The fact that i can play a whole myriad of Rockstar games on the Vita is awesome, whether it be the PSP games such as GTA LCS, VCS, Chinatown Wars or Midnight Club, Warriors or Manhunt 2 or some game natively on the Vita such as Bully, Max Payne, GTA trilogy or a better version of Chinatown Wars, i can patch japanese games into english, because there's many Vita games, that never go the english the PS3, PS4 or PC got, but i can simply patch it, case in point Legend of Heroes Trails from Zero just came out in english, yet i can play that in english on my Vita with same translation that's now officially used. Games that never ran so good, runs great with a simple overclock, many games has mods available, and there's so much more you can do. In 2022 a Modded Vita is still a great system to own, the only handhelds which now surpasses it in what it can do, is the handheld PC's, such as the Steam Deck and Aya Neo Air.
No “ultimate” vita setup includes a slim model vita. It starts with a 3G enabled fat. Then you can at least use a VITASD module that replaces the 3G module to give your vita loads of internal storage and keeps your card slot free. My vita has a full 1tb of storage. My vita has soo many bubbles I literally cannot add any more without the home crashing and my emulators are CHOCK full. And I still have plenty of space left over.
Got a 500 gb sd card with plenty of free room and no idea what to put on it since i got almost all vita / psp / ps1 games and about 30gb of roms for retro games. 500gb is more than enough and why would u want the card slot free when u literally have any game u can imagine
@@visualdosage234 I have a fairly robust library of vita titles, lots of great stuff only released overseas on the console but thanks to patching are totally playable in English. Gundam Breaker 3, Digimon world Next Order, etc. Not to mention all the homebrew apps, games and ports. Half life on the vita for example is pretty fun. As for emulation, I have like, all of the roms. All of them. Gathered up complete libraries before the great Nintendo purge. Plus if you are willing to put up with configuration dosbox is plenty useable on vita as well. Hell I even have pdf readers on it along with a rudimentary dice rolling app and all of my gaming books for on the go tabletop gaming lol. It’s a surprisingly handy device for its size.
@@visualdosage234 and that’s without, again, the fact that I can free up the top slot (my 1tb of storage is split between two 512gb cards, retro roms and other non important files are on the top card slot card) and legally backup my own vita games easily. Yeah, vita piracy is easy enough but it’s nice to have the option.
i have 3 Vitas! a regular prestine Piano Black 1000 with transparent case and glass protector a custom white front panel and light blue 2000 buttons with a black back with a full body screen protector that gives it a paper feel and added pixelation(makes re revelations 2 and spiderman look better= graphic bump) and a Vita 2000 with red button layout with black front panel and white back with a glass protector
As someone who loves their vita, I'm definitely gonna look for a R2 L2 trigger case. Didnt know they even existed, got my vita back when they were new, and having both a vita and a switch I prefer vita, even though the likelihood isnt there i hope and wish sony revisits the PSP down the line
Managed to get a basically mint ps vita 2000 for 80 on ebay. It came with a carrying case, charger, tempered glass screen protector, and has a matte film on the back on the system because nobody likes that finger print magnet on the back.
the l2 r2 are pretty much a necessity for stranger's wrath and borderlands 2. it also helps for toukiden somehow. the 'top player' also made a special eva case for that grip so you don't have to remove it when you keep it.
@@khulafanoraiman3301 borderlands 2 and stranger's wrath are ports from pc. They needed a lot of controls and used the back touch intensively. Any game that uses the back touchpad will benefit from the l2 r2 grip including toukiden.
Sorry dude, but like your video about the RG351V, you're missing out on a lot of stuff. When you Booted up your 351V I could tell that you didn't bother with good custom firmware, and looking at your Vita I can tell that you're missing out on some really good ports, launchers, and a virtual console. Lots of Vita fans would give you crap about choosing a 1000 over a 2000 for an "Ultimate" set-up, and you don't have the R3 and L3 triggers installed. You talked about them, sure, but they're not there. Those triggers usually come packed with the L2 R2 trigger case like you have there, and they're held on with two-sided mounting tape. You also might want a Tempered Glass screen protector because that screen is easy to scratch if you're not careful.
No problem, if you're going down the Vita Rabbit hole you might want to check out Zealous Chuck, Dan Cooper, PSX Place, Vita DB, PS Vita at 2am, and other Vita sources of info. They helped me out a lot!
glad i still keep my vita 1000 i was going too sell it in 2017 but glad i did . and i cfw my vita too record lets plays yes you can record your vita when you hack the ocnsole but also you can use ps3 controller and ps4 controller .
I just bought a used 2000 series Vita and I'm just wondering if I do mod the system, would I be able to still use my previous PS+ game saves? I have them and I'd hate to lose my save data that I've worked so hard for.
Actually.... My $85.00 Black PS-Vita (2000)Slim...I bought from a PawnShop in mid 2019...3 months later...fully modded...with a Sammy 512gb MicroSD-Card Evo and Sd2vita adapter... Now...2022 it is my current Home and Handheld... just hook it up with any Android base Smart-TV... Google Chrome Tv... Samsung Tab-S7 or Tab-S8 as a Second Screen attached to a dongle with HDMI output...USB-C'S...using the USB-Camera app...PS-VITA/ Switch...You can use any Wireless Xbox...PS4..PS5 Controller... 🫠🙃🤓
Do you have a list of games that you have on your vita. I still have to much space left xD. Also did you create shortcuts to emulated games on your home screen?
Got a vita like a month or 2 ago and it's been amazing. Haven't gotten emulators to play other game systems since i don't really have a reason to play them but I'm hoping to get a grip this Christmas snd save up to get a ps4 to mod so i can play Spider-Man
I have a White 1001 Assassins Creed Edition in box and a Black 2001 Boarderlands Edition in box Vita's, as well as a PSTV. A Nyco Power Grip for both Vita's, a Hori Grip with L2R2 buttons, one Black and one Blue hard plastic Vult Cases, and 148 physical games. I got my first Vita 2 years ago and haven't modded them yet because I wanted to focus on get all of the physical things I wanted before the price on all of it got to be to much. But now that I got pretty much everything I wanted I'm going to mod my 2001 and PSTV as emulators and leave my 1001 alone as a regular Vita for my physical games.
Mine is in the mail to be delivered tomorrow, question for the content creator or others, noticed he has a handful of vita games in his library. After jail breaking/ modding the vita, have people found ways to get the vita games downloaded for free? I planned of getting emulators on it but would love to add vita games as well
You are such a silly, why would you buy a vita, this console doesn't have any library for good games. Buy switch lite, it has a very big library with online play. Buying a vita means you are stuck offline forever with your digital games. No online games, no dragon ball or Naruto games .. And please emulate things on your Smartphones, don't waste your money on an old rotten tomato.
@@Abhishek-or7wu The switch doesn't have nearly as big of a library as a modded Vita. You can play all PS Vita and PSP games, N64, NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1, GBC, etc. Unless you have a first edition Switch, you can't even mod it. Buying a Vita is 10000% worth it, and if you don't think so, you're the silly.
@@Abhishek-or7wu the Vita is still online I can get online right now and play a call of duty match or borderlands or any other games and it has more features than the switch it's far better
@@Abhishek-or7wu Vita has a really big and quite frankly a fantastic library of games, and once modded, you don't have to buy any of it. funny enough, a huge bulk of Switch games, are games that were ported from the Vita, especially if you're into Jrpgs
I have a 2001 ps vita I'm planning on refurbishing it a it's modded I have an psvita2sd but I only use it to put stuff on my system I have 14gb I have old games on it
Model 2000 better 1000 right . i will buy 2000 neon orange like new with box set 187 $ . Do you thing it's expensive or not. I'm still hesitant to make a decision.
Sony can completely cripple this system but just stopping us from being to get the passcode needed to access the PlayStation in the first place. I would put it past them it is so weird that the PlayStation Vita uses his own generated passcode instead of your Sony PlayStation accounts password.
Anyone has the HORI PS-VITA 2000 Remote Play Assist attachment... it add an additional of 4 extra buttons...L2..R2...triggers...and L3..R3... over the back TouchPad area...
Looking for some help here, I have some PSP games installed on my Vita and the games seems to be running at the correct resolution, but all the videos/intro screens etc are way zoomed in, I can't seem to figure out what happened. Any and all help super appreciated.
Can you provide some insight on how to get Retroarch running properly? Got some bios in here, but it doesn't create playlists like yours do. Would like to have playstation games running on it too. Thanks!
*can* you update the nds emulator on the browser on the vita? Also, can it play nds games like nds pokemon soul silver? I'm new to the vita ^^ I'm a DSi kinda gal...
When you said about the battery life I was like "This guy must be on crack" Have you had no battery issues? I brought a new one and changed it out and It doesn't last at all! :(
you should consider getting a ps4 controller and stand of some kind and a bluetooth speaker or headset. also nuclear throne is a game worth trying thanks for the video
A Sandisk or Sammy 512gb sd-Card is the best way to go...🤓 with either Fat / Slim PsVita model...Also... do you have KILLER INSTINCT...using the Snes9xVITA emulator...🤓
It’s retro archive , but some new users think it’s like Noah’s ark , you know like saving all the old games in an ark , both pronunciation is fine I reckon
@@TechSummitTV that screen color is so rich and thick just like the Oled version. Apart from the theme installed what else did you do to it?? If it’s changing the rgb color and brightness from the registry, what values did you put in there??? Thanks
Look around online from Ebay, Mercari to Playasia. The price on them are skyrocketing depending on which grip you want especially the legendary Hori Grip with L2R2 L3R3 that runs around $150. He said he was leaving a link for his grip on Amazon in the description of this video in case you didn't hear him.

No problem, if you're going down the Vita Rabbit hole you might want to check out Zealous Chuck, Dan Cooper, PSX Place, Vita DB, PS Vita at 2am, and other Vita sources of info. They helped me out a lot!
He’s using a 2000 model for his setup not a 1000.
Can't forget the Mighty 2 old 4 Gaming since he literally wrote many books on the Vita. He is another great source for Vita info.
That's the 2001 model not the 1001
Hey, great video.
I’m thinking of getting that same hand grip, what travel case fits that??
I would NEVER sell my vita!
Excellent quality sir, I'll sub
glad i still keep my vita 1000 i was going too sell it in 2017 but glad i did . and i cfw my vita too record lets plays yes you can record your vita when you hack the ocnsole but also you can use ps3 controller and ps4 controller .
I just bought a used 2000 series Vita and I'm just wondering if I do mod the system, would I be able to still use my previous PS+ game saves? I have them and I'd hate to lose my save data that I've worked so hard for.
Actually.... My $85.00 Black PS-Vita (2000)Slim...I bought from a PawnShop in mid 2019...3 months later...fully modded...with a Sammy 512gb MicroSD-Card Evo and Sd2vita adapter... Now...2022 it is my current Home and Handheld... just hook it up with any Android base Smart-TV... Google Chrome Tv... Samsung Tab-S7 or Tab-S8 as a Second Screen attached to a dongle with HDMI output...USB-C'S...using the USB-Camera app...PS-VITA/ Switch...You can use any Wireless Xbox...PS4..PS5 Controller... 🫠🙃🤓
i just got one for 50 bucks in pristine condition
Do you have a list of games that you have on your vita. I still have to much space left xD. Also did you create shortcuts to emulated games on your home screen?
Great vid! Just got a 1000 model myself! That p5d footage was painful to watch tho 😂😂
Can you emulate ps3 roms? Or games
@@Sc35444 I don't think any handheld ever can
@darciukas u modded?what you play
Got a vita like a month or 2 ago and it's been amazing. Haven't gotten emulators to play other game systems since i don't really have a reason to play them but I'm hoping to get a grip this Christmas snd save up to get a ps4 to mod so i can play Spider-Man
is there a way to upgrade ps vita camera mp? i mean like example replacing the 0.3 MP of psvita then putting phones' with 16MP camera flex cable?
Definitely gonna get another I've already 1 up til recently
I have a White 1001 Assassins Creed Edition in box and a Black 2001 Boarderlands Edition in box Vita's, as well as a PSTV.
A Nyco Power Grip for both Vita's, a Hori Grip with L2R2 buttons, one Black and one Blue hard plastic Vult Cases, and 148 physical games.
I got my first Vita 2 years ago and haven't modded them yet because I wanted to focus on get all of the physical things I wanted before the price on all of it got to be to much. But now that I got pretty much everything I wanted I'm going to mod my 2001 and PSTV as emulators and leave my 1001 alone as a regular Vita for my physical games.
I get overwhelmed with lots of game on my vita amd can't choose what to play first
I want to upgrade from a 256GB to 400GB. How can I copy my 256GB to 400GB without losing anything when put 400GB in?
Mine is in the mail to be delivered tomorrow, question for the content creator or others, noticed he has a handful of vita games in his library. After jail breaking/ modding the vita, have people found ways to get the vita games downloaded for free? I planned of getting emulators on it but would love to add vita games as well
pkgj
pkgj or the quicker method is to download nodprm Vita games on your pc and move it over.
Amazing video and I’m so close to buying a vita, wish they weren’t so expensive. Love your voice btw.
You are such a silly, why would you buy a vita, this console doesn't have any library for good games. Buy switch lite, it has a very big library with online play.
Buying a vita means you are stuck offline forever with your digital games. No online games, no dragon ball or Naruto games ..
And please emulate things on your Smartphones, don't waste your money on an old rotten tomato.
@@Abhishek-or7wu The switch doesn't have nearly as big of a library as a modded Vita. You can play all PS Vita and PSP games, N64, NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1, GBC, etc. Unless you have a first edition Switch, you can't even mod it. Buying a Vita is 10000% worth it, and if you don't think so, you're the silly.
@@Abhishek-or7wu the Vita is still online I can get online right now and play a call of duty match or borderlands or any other games and it has more features than the switch it's far better
Also I have a mint condition green back white front slim that I don't need anymore since I have two others if you haven't found one yet
@@Abhishek-or7wu Vita has a really big and quite frankly a fantastic library of games, and once modded, you don't have to buy any of it.
funny enough, a huge bulk of Switch games, are games that were ported from the Vita, especially if you're into Jrpgs
the ultimate ps vita setup should have all of the official accessories!
PS Vita is a handheld console that transcends the technology of its time.
what is the brand of the sd card you used and the adapter you used?
get the white sd2vita, whichever version is the same. i rely on sandisk and samsung micro sds. i use sandisk 500gb on mine and it's all good.
I have a 2001 ps vita I'm planning on refurbishing it a it's modded I have an psvita2sd but I only use it to put stuff on my system I have 14gb I have old games on it
Model 2000 better 1000 right . i will buy 2000 neon orange like new with box set 187 $ . Do you thing it's expensive or not. I'm still hesitant to make a decision.
Going to need to get that grip
I still have my Vita 1000 from launch
Sony can completely cripple this system but just stopping us from being to get the passcode needed to access the PlayStation in the first place. I would put it past them it is so weird that the PlayStation Vita uses his own generated passcode instead of your Sony PlayStation accounts password.
i have the l2 r2 set up as well. works freakin awesome
I have the original 1000 model and have the 64gb and 16gb memory cards for it. Do I still need that sd adapter or can I start modding with those?
Anyone has the HORI PS-VITA 2000 Remote Play Assist attachment... it add an additional of 4 extra buttons...L2..R2...triggers...and L3..R3... over the back TouchPad area...
I'd recommend looking up on easy people will 3D print one that works
Looking for some help here, I have some PSP games installed on my Vita and the games seems to be running at the correct resolution, but all the videos/intro screens etc are way zoomed in, I can't seem to figure out what happened. Any and all help super appreciated.
leather jacket fire
My vita 2000 model back touch pad is not functioning..kindly advice on how to fix it..
Can you provide some insight on how to get Retroarch running properly? Got some bios in here, but it doesn't create playlists like yours do. Would like to have playstation games running on it too. Thanks!
robles junior has a video on fixing your retro arch so the thumbnails work
my bro had the same problem with thumbnails
You need to create the playlists one by one. And for the ps1 games you can also use the Adrenaline emulator
Where can I get actual Vita and psp games after I mod the console?
*can* you update the nds emulator on the browser on the vita? Also, can it play nds games like nds pokemon soul silver? I'm new to the vita ^^ I'm a DSi kinda gal...
Can you still play online with an modded vita and update your trophies
Where did you get that kingdom hearts theme?
There's 2 things I want to add to a Vita. USB C and Wi-Fi 5 or 6. Wish there were drivers you could add to a hacked Vita... Ughhh
How did you mod it? Any links to any videos?
When you said about the battery life I was like "This guy must be on crack" Have you had no battery issues? I brought a new one and changed it out and It doesn't last at all! :(
how fo you keep your grip clean? mine alrrady start to. turn gray from every day use
you should consider getting a ps4 controller and stand of some kind and a bluetooth speaker or headset. also nuclear throne is a game worth trying thanks for the video
Thanks for the suggestion!
why would someone give u "alone" of something and not bother with it for 2 years .
is it possible to watch netflix, youtube and use discord on the vita?
A Sandisk or Sammy 512gb sd-Card is the best way to go...🤓 with either Fat / Slim PsVita model...Also... do you have KILLER INSTINCT...using the Snes9xVITA emulator...🤓
How did you get dragon ball z and naruto on adrenaline? its not on pkgj
hello please.A ps vita 2000 protector and a wrao which goes firs?
rertoarch pronounced retro -ARK lol
It’s retro archive , but some new users think it’s like Noah’s ark , you know like saving all the old games in an ark , both pronunciation is fine I reckon
I have a modded vita however I am too afraid to update to firmware 3.74 thinking it will patch my modded vita etc
don't update, otherwise you will have to remod again,
Oh naw, he got the got the 2000 lol
Need me a grip like that
Can PS Vita Emulate or run PS2 games as well?
Sadly, no.
Ultimate vita starts with the 1000 OLED edition imo.
Other than the screen it has no advantages, the slim has better battery life, a better charger, its thinner and lighter
@@visualdosage234 screen outweighs all those advantages if you ask me
@@shaun5902 not to me, i got both the fat and slim model and i mostly use the slim, also because thats the one i modded
@@visualdosage234bro 1000 is better and u know it
is that a silver or white vita?
Can a grip for the vita 1000 fit on the 2000?
You should make the Vita have its own type of joy cons
whats the best memory card for a Modded psv
i use the sandisk 128gb 256gb is the best
anyone knows the theme's name at 4:03? thanks in advance
Sorry for replying late,but that's not a theme it's Retro Arch using the XMB theme
is it better to buy vita 100 or switch lite ?
Depends on what kinds of games you want to play. The Switch Lite technically can't be Homebrewed unless you do board swap which is very expensive.
@@TechSummitTV does the touch pad at behind disturb when playing emulator games ?
@@F4NCY_ No, not at all.
Where did you get Kingdom Hearts theme ?
With the homebrew, you get access to a theme shop where you can download any of the themes available on their app.
@@TechSummitTV that screen color is so rich and thick just like the Oled version. Apart from the theme installed what else did you do to it?? If it’s changing the rgb color and brightness from the registry, what values did you put in there??? Thanks
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
where can i get that grip for the vita?
Look around online from Ebay, Mercari to Playasia. The price on them are skyrocketing depending on which grip you want especially the legendary Hori Grip with L2R2 L3R3 that runs around $150.
He said he was leaving a link for his grip on Amazon in the description of this video in case you didn't hear him.
“Don’t sell your Vita” lol, that assumes people actually bought them to begin with.
Why you shaking bro
I wish i can play pubg mobile in this thing haha
So you jailbroke it and put a grip on it….wow…what a waste of a video
What's so special about this? You just modded the vita, slapped an SD card in it and threw it in a grip.
Clickbait. No building in this video at all.
