Modded 3ds kinda sinks really low for what it can actually do, you can get dissapointed hard, but in the end it's all about the price. If can you get a 3ds under 50$, it's always worth it.
There is no need of fighting once you figured the corporate greed hunger ruins this beautiful hobby and we don't need them in order to get the best out of it
It's a lot of fun! - its relatively easy, and makes you feel like a big brain hacker genius. Really gave me a newfound respect for the homebrew scene, and the years of work put into discovering how to harness all the exploits needed to make it possible.
@@canadianninja1837 i mean not really there isnt much out there. i think the big killer of the hand held market is geforce now. you can buy a razer phone mount and play anything..... steam deck is so popular though you would think a new vita would kill it.,
It would be great, but considering Sony migrating all of their first party successes to PC says otherwise It's more likely that they make playstation plus deals with valve than releasing their own handheld Edit: due to the recent news maybe I'm wrong and Sony is dumb because of them just now realizing that their handhelds could rock but their lack of support is the sole reason why they sucked
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.
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.
I'd definitely recommend it. it's a great first jailbreaking project if you want to get into that as well, since the Vita is a dead console and Sony doesn't care what you do with it. but there are some great games and hidden gems on the Vita
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.
@Rand0mN0rwegianGuy There's like 6 Goat Simulators. Goat Payday, Waste Of Space, Goat MMO, etc. Are you calling those DLC's instead of being their own game?
@@Asian_Kid But, all of those that you mentioned there in your comment… ARE just DLC’s, though. And I know that for a fact, because I bought them all, and they very clearly were just that, DLC that added lots of content within the main game; and not separate different games. At least this was the case on PS4, anyway (bought them all through the PS Store).
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
I sold mine shortly after getting one at launch as well. Luckily, I got one again in 2018. Glad I did because physical games weren’t as expensive as they are now. There are so many games even if you’re not into jrpgs.
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.
@@2fernandoc1ur dumb if you don’t mod your vita I hate to say it, Sony tried their best to kneecap the platform by charging out the ass for literally everything. By modding it you remove storage limits, get all games for free, and are able to do other stuff like overclocking and all sorts of insane plugins. And there’s literally zero risk of getting banned or anything. Also hate to say this but you gotta be a bit of a dunce with your device to brick it they are very resilient and I’ve saved mine from a bricked state multiple times when I was modding it a few years ago. Oh and it’s now the easiest to mod then it’s ever been, I could literally preach about the vita for hours
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!
It was a mobile game that was taken off stores. I copped it once but can’t play it thanks to EA. Same happened to RE4 Mobile and Splinter Cell Conviction Mobile.
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
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
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.
Consumers also gave up on it too. People preferred to play kiddy 3DS and mobile games instead and now those same people are clamoring for a new Sony handheld when they didn’t even support it in the first place
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!
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
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 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 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 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 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
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.
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 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
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.
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 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
I don’t own a vita, never have, but I have modded many other consoles, and it seems scary before you do it, but I’ve never bricked a device. And I’m not the brightest.
@@ratzusu lol I appreciate your vote of confidence. I tried modding my psp back in high school and it was a lesson in frustration and accepting my extremely limited intelligence and patience. Granted that was over 15 years ago so idk lol
Im not very tech savy but I recently just picked a vita up for 80 bucks and I successfully was able to mod it, literally easy to do since your just downloading the mod on the vita itself, no computer necessary
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.
now NOTHING with any kind of sd card slot or "port"(USB/type-C charging port) is safe. its sad that "an adapter" is all that's needed to hack these and any other gaming console. and BECAUSE they NEED "chargers" and usb ports and whatnot on their consoles/handhelds, i predict that soon these companies will exit the "gaming console" era and start an ALL digital era
@@acgaming1413 while it existed early into the systems life it wasnt as easy or accessible to get into as it was when henkaku first released. Thats when I and a lot of people got into modding the vita and when the scene really "started." Sony just didnt support the Vita enough with good games along with having expensive proprietary sd cards definitely didnt help
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 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)
Ive been contemplating either psvita of ps3 .. .the perk of ps vita is portable but i can just use my phone to remote play and ps 3 have the game that i love like mosuo gundam & motostorm but i already got ps4 and 5
Or you don't have to worry about dealing with a modded PSP and you can just get a steam deck that has a bigger screen I can pretty much play every gaming console besides the current-gen consoles
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 RUclips. 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.
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 :(
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
Recently modded my vitatv and am now looking to mod my oled model so that i can transfer my homebrew saves between home and on the go. It was a lot of tinkering through several scammed cards off amazon and a few reformats but i never bricked the console and knowing that you cant trust memory cards off amazon, just get your stuff local (except the sd2vita). If you have constant crashes or errors then its likely a bad micro sd. That said i do recommend anyone to do this, there is a bit of hoops to go through if you want to retain your official saves to use on the hacked vita, but otherwise you don't even need a pc to mod it anymore, just the vita, an internet connection, and instructions from a video. Once you have the basic apps setup then the vita, psp and ps1 collection is a few taps away.

I have not seen mine for 2 years, thank u dad
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 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 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
I still collect for my vita. My favorite handheld console of all time
i love the vita for remote play 🔥
I love my Vita... Not gonna mod it though knowing my luck I'd brick it
I don’t own a vita, never have, but I have modded many other consoles, and it seems scary before you do it, but I’ve never bricked a device. And I’m not the brightest.
@@ratzusu lol I appreciate your vote of confidence. I tried modding my psp back in high school and it was a lesson in frustration and accepting my extremely limited intelligence and patience. Granted that was over 15 years ago so idk lol
Honestly I recommend trying it, you can literally open a link and mod your vita in 20-30 minutes
@@azureflow9972 Well I'm supposed to be getting a memory card for it pretty soon so.... Maybe I'll give it a shot.
Im not very tech savy but I recently just picked a vita up for 80 bucks and I successfully was able to mod it, literally easy to do since your just downloading the mod on the vita itself, no computer necessary
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.
now NOTHING with any kind of sd card slot or "port"(USB/type-C charging port) is safe. its sad that "an adapter" is all that's needed to hack these and any other gaming console. and BECAUSE they NEED "chargers" and usb ports and whatnot on their consoles/handhelds, i predict that soon these companies will exit the "gaming console" era and start an ALL digital era
if 5 years after release is "day one" to you idk what to tell you
@@Ahab2710 if you think it took people 5 years to hack the system idk what to tell you. It took a year at the most.
@@acgaming1413 while it existed early into the systems life it wasnt as easy or accessible to get into as it was when henkaku first released. Thats when I and a lot of people got into modding the vita and when the scene really "started." Sony just didnt support the Vita enough with good games along with having expensive proprietary sd cards definitely didnt help
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.
That's not technically true
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.
Gta ports look so good with the oled, even the trees look like they're popping out the screen🤣
The strange Is that probaly few these games where One point been officialy ported to thevita included the Lil fated bioshock vita Port.
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)
Sonic Mania decomp is on PS Vita (alongside Android, Wii U, and 3DS)
Cuphead unofficial ports is raw for every device that has it
So glad i went ahead and bought a refurbished one.
I kinda like the iPod jailbreak rock box then psvita jail broken because not much will have a psvita only ipod
It's fully capable, and we love it
Yeah i loved the ps vita. Going to re buy two of them
One slim in blue and orher all white
Ive been contemplating either psvita of ps3 .. .the perk of ps vita is portable but i can just use my phone to remote play and ps 3 have the game that i love like mosuo gundam & motostorm but i already got ps4 and 5
Dude I still have mine I’m gonna have to homebrew it. I hope the memory cards aren’t still stupid expensive
Sd2vita, if you can procure one locally it's a lot cheaper to buy a normal microsd card
you still need a micro sd card for it to expand storage with the Sd2vita
Yeah 3DS I’m about to do but it scares me something might happen to my vita, I dont have any back up system for that one 😢
The worst is the battery consumption 😂 in that hanheld
It would be cool to see killing the floor mod for the vita
I’m new to all of this and I have yet to mod my vita but GOOD GOD IT LOOKS AMAZING. How did he get all those retro games on there😍
Vita and 3ds are goat handhelds and add the modding you can do. Peak devices!
If it’s got nova 3 I’m sold
Or you don't have to worry about dealing with a modded PSP and you can just get a steam deck that has a bigger screen I can pretty much play every gaming console besides the current-gen consoles
A steam deck costs about $500 where as a PSVita cost about $80-$100
People complaining about Sony dropping Vita support clearly dont understand how sales work…
I still dont know how to add "new" games
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

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 RUclips. 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.
You got the vita 1000 or 2000?
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
Been loving mine!
It’s kinda like the Dreamcast where it’s afterlife is more impressive
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
I agree it was ahead of it’s time.
I have 8 PS Vitas and I JUST started nodding them this year. I am in heaven. 😊
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 :(
You can still mod a psp
The funny thing is that the Vita is atleast as powerful as a modern Nintendo switch and it can BOTW. I need a Vita!
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
Recently modded my vitatv and am now looking to mod my oled model so that i can transfer my homebrew saves between home and on the go.
It was a lot of tinkering through several scammed cards off amazon and a few reformats but i never bricked the console and knowing that you cant trust memory cards off amazon, just get your stuff local (except the sd2vita). If you have constant crashes or errors then its likely a bad micro sd.
That said i do recommend anyone to do this, there is a bit of hoops to go through if you want to retain your official saves to use on the hacked vita, but otherwise you don't even need a pc to mod it anymore, just the vita, an internet connection, and instructions from a video. Once you have the basic apps setup then the vita, psp and ps1 collection is a few taps away.
