@@kevinkev1530 load shedding in theory is supposed to lighten the load on our electrical infrastructure in South Africa. But there is an argument that the constant switching on and off is worse for it. And it’s particularly bad for household appliances
I just got one and modded it with Henlo. It’s been pretty solid, the PS VITA is a powerful little thing. Not only do I have retro Nintendo games, but I even have the ability to emulate the PSP with Adrenaline.
I remember picking one of these up brand new when it came out back in 2011. I was working for Radioshack here in the states at the time and they had the display up for a month before it released. Immidiatly fell in love. The VITA was so far ahead of its time, which was good and bad. At the time the games were so limited that eventually I ended up getting rid of it about a year later which I regret to this day. I wish I would have kept it, what the modding community has done with this handheld is amazing
Great video! I also decided to buy a vita instead of the new playstation portal. The portal's remote play limitation was a huge deal breaker for me. Hopefully, we can see a true Vita successor in the future
Just purchased a soft modded Vita OLED via ebay. They are out there. Excited to receive. I had both a PSP and Vita when they came out and subsequently have sold them several years ago. Excited to habe it again in my sweaty hands again.
same here mine gets delivered tomorrow. its a complete in box really good conditon ps vita 1001 us version. also it came with a 64gb sony sd card and 2 games. i paid $200 usd for the bundle :)
Apparently there's rumors of a new PSP (a real one, not the portal). I'd expect it to be more of a switch or steam deck competitor if it happens. Maybe they could do sort of a portable PS4, where it can download PS4 games you already own from the store to give it a pre-established library (PS4 uses an AMD SOC, so internally it might not be too different from a steam deck)
I truly hope it is true. The PS4 library is amazing and would be the perfect system for Sony to base the new Portable system around. I also hope there’s a way to verify your physical PS4 games to be able to download them onto the new portable system as I doubt there will be any physical media for the system.
I got a PS Vita 1000 as my trophy buy in Tokyo Japan a couple of weeks ago. I resist buying this the past 12 years. This year there is a revival for this amazing device so it took a Japan trip to finally buy one preowned Japanese Vita, it’s a right time for me haha.😂
My OLED Vita is the last gaming console I own that my parents got me as a kid (I’m 23, got it for my 12th birthday.) I still play on it today. Unlike a lot of owners though, I haven’t modded mine and mostly just stick to the short list of AAA 1st party games, a few Western indies here and there (I don’t like anime games,) and a few PSP games. I’m actually playing Borderlands 2 for the first time on it, and while the graphics/framerate certainly aren’t the greatest, it’s actually not that bad imo. Just being able to have a big beefy game like that in my hands with all the dlc included is insane.
@@arctic-the-fox Technically, all the PSP games I have are actually direct ports of PS2 ones 😂 Namely Lego Indiana Jones and Batman, and Battlefront 2.
@@arctic-the-fox as a day one buyer of the jak and daxter collection on vita, the only way that game is enjoyable is by modding the vita and overclockibg the CPU :( Ratchet and Sly run great though!

Amazing video and I just wanna say I always wanted a psp and a ps vita and is it worth it? Because I would like a portable device because on travels and stuff so I just want tips
I think their prices are quite comparable where I am. However any special editions are usually quite a lot more expensive. As for desirable I think the screen of the OLED definitely is superb but I haven’t had a chance to play on a Slim so I can’t say the OLED is better without knowing what the slims screen is like.
It is to lessen the load on our electrical infrastructure. And often we aren’t producing enough electricity to accommodate the entire country. So depending on how bad it is sometimes it’s 2 hours twice a day or it can go up to 6 hours.
Not in such quantity not at all. You have to complete the game atleast once before the less grind can start. As items can be obtained by different means and characters have different abilities to obtain those items. Complete story mode and focus on unlocking characters along the way. When that is done the game is a breeze. 👍🏽😄
I bought a PS Vita a couple years ago from a yard sale and it had a broken screen i payed someone $100.00 US to fix it.❤ it was worth every penny i bought like 10+ games for it
shit im getting a vita as well, but ive had a few over the years. im also getting a motherboard to repair one of my old vitas. videos like this will drive the price of the vita up lowkey, same thing happened with psp. it used to be 40$ or less used now it goes for 90$ used after people realized its nostalgic. at that point you might as well get a vita with that 90$
I have 2 vitas a 1000 and a 2000 my 2000 is modded with a 512gb storage and have about 350 games on it including all the emulated games and it is the best purchase I’ve ever made
yes while i t does break the terms of service sony pretends the device doesnt exist so much so you can login without worrying, while they can ban you they never have banned anyone for jailbreaking the only way ive heard of someone getting banned is trophy hacking, but even if you get the game off pkgj they dont care ive logged into my main account plenty of times on mine so im also speaking from experience, sorry for the long comment@@arctic-the-fox

@@arctic-the-fox if you dont plan on playing alot of ps5 turned away from the tv, leave it at the store :D mine is now a fancy pice of decoration.... you can only enjoy it when your ps5 is connectet with lan , you set up your dedicatet 5g wlan for your portal and you are in the same room as the modem... if you want to remote play some time and you have a ipad use it with a controler and your set..
Hack it to unlock its full potential. Also, there is nothing wrong with the portal. As great as Vita was, I always thought the save transfer for the cross play games was pain to keep up with. I'm also not interested in watered-down portable versions of games like the switch ports. So, streaming the actual ps5 games from the ps5 is the best route it could've gone in. It just needs cloud gaming support, and it's golden.

@@arctic-the-fox yep,got PSP and Vita Games, i was hesitant with PS1 games coz most of the games i like needed the trigger buttons, so i have to buy that extra accessory soon,
Why not mod your vita its easy and you can get free games also btw use a sd2vita thing to get more storage it basically makes it so you can use a sd card instead of sonys thing
I have looked into it and while it is an awesome option, I would like to keep this one stock. Maybe down the line I find one that is not complete in box and mod that one.
I would buy a new play station handheld if they released one. The quality of the PS handhelds have always been amazing.

A portable ps4 ,5,6 bring it on .After hacking ps2,ps3 .psp ,ps vita,ps1, memory cards are just not big enough .
I watch all the PS Vita videos on RUclips even though I know everything there is to know about this machine but I absolutely love it❤
What’s your favourite game on Vita ?
I just ordered a new ps vita 2000 today . My daughter has one , so i know I'm going to love it .
They are truly incredible pieces of hardware. Very hard to believe they are over a decade old now 😅
What’s the reason for the scheduled black outs? For how long during the day does it stay dark?
It is to lessen the load on our electrical infrastructure. And often we aren’t producing enough electricity to accommodate the entire country. So depending on how bad it is sometimes it’s 2 hours twice a day or it can go up to 6 hours.
That’s wild. Glad you have a Vita to accumulate those hours. 🎮😅 I just Plat’ed Lego Movie Game on the Vita before watching this video.
