The second back panel connector is because the area of the back panel marked with the Playstation buttons X, O, Triangle and Square is touch sensitive like a trackpad, some games used that feature and the PS4 and PS5 controller adapted it but this time on the front. Oh and remember the Ouya? The CEO Julie Uhrman had a SXSW talk in 2013, Sony had just recently revealed the Dualshock 4 back then and because of the touchpad she more or less said Sony copied it from them, no maam, Sony already had launched the Vita with that back trackpad in December 2011/February 2012, at least 5 months before the announcement and kickstarter campaign of the Ouya! Nice mod, got myself a 3G Vita some years ago when Henkaku and Adrenaline (literally a PSP mode like the Wii mode on the Wii U) were already available; I have to replace my screen because I accidentally dropped something on it and it's smashed now; I already had opened it and was suprised that that modem isn't soldered but a miniPCIe card like its also used as WWAN in business laptops (ThinkPad T series, Dell Latitude, Fujitsu Lifebook, HP ProBook/Elitebook), nice that it's now usable again (after some countries already shut down their 3G networks).
3:49 You can do a micro sd card extender and have the card sit right where the sim card is, i did that couple years ago when i mod the second 3g vita i had.
Yes I didn't realize that until I jumped through hoops trying to figure out how to set this up as there isn't any straight forward how to guides hence why I shared this. The guy I got mine from has the cables for $20 too and I might have to order one because that would be helpful down the road if my SD Card either crapped out OR I wanted to add more files.
Hey Mr DNA! I've been looking at some PS Vitas online, and they're pretty decent price. The thing is, I'm completely new to Playstation, so I don't really know what all the different PS Vita models are. What the heck is the 3G model? Is it like how there was a 3DS and a NEW 3DS, in this case the 3G being like the NEW 3DS? Please give me some guidance. Thanks!
Hey if you watched this, the 3G model gave the option for mods like this but you don't feel comfortable just get a fat PSVita from what I searched the original model was better that's why I personally went with it over the slim model.
The 1000 model has the OLED screen where as the 2000 (slim) does not. The 2000 does however have 1GB of internal memory which makes it able to be modded without a proprietary memory card.
There are two main models, the 1000 and the 2000. 1000 is heavier but has an OLED screen and better build quality. 2000 is lighter with an LED screen and lower build quality but also has more color options and better speakers. The 1000 has a second variant, the 1100. The 1100 model comes with 3g compatibility which allows you to add a SIM card if your mobile carrier supports 3g (most only support 4g and 5g now). If you want to do the mod shown in this video, you need a 1100, however you can also get an SD2VITA that does the same thing but is placed in the game cartridge slot instead. Hope this helps!
cool mod. so essentially now with the 1.5tb card thats oout, can you have one internally in the new mod slot and 1 in the psvita adapter for a total of 3tb?
So I haven't tried using both slots but from what I found you could do this but the game card slot is slower that's why utilizing the 3G slot has benefits. I think you can only go up to 1TB as well, maybe one day I'll buy a 1.5TB and try.
You brought hope to my PS Vida. I bought the same thing about a year, I didn’t know how to set it up. Can you do a tutorial on how to do it without a computer? 🙏🏻😇
You don't need the SD2Vita as long as you have a regular memory card. Remember the slot where the SD2Vita goes is normally for the game carts. So if you want to hack your Vita with the default card, just transfer everything from it instead.
I have yet to try SA as I guess it is a homebrew port but I have noticed loading times for games especially Minecraft have increased. I am using a good micro SD card as well so that will help for sure.
Seems to be sold out at the mo, are there any other sellers for this? Had no idea this was a thing and I have a decent physical collection I still want to use
No what I think you're referring to is the upgrade option to swap the 3G for WiFi/Bluetooth as my WiFi/Bluetooth still works perfectly as I'm getting a few emulators through it right now as I write this. I looked into this too because I saw someone on YT share an upgrade mod like this.
The 3G modem is a mini PCIe card, the same could be found in laptops until around 10 years ago (it got succeeded by smaller NGFF aka M.2) and these were always a separate "WWAN" card independent from the WiFi/Bluetooth module.
You honestly didnt explain it well and no one seems to explain it well either but my vita was sd2vita with all sorts of stuff loaded on. I just installed everything but i seem to have lost everything besides vitadeploy no one explains what your storage should be, like is my ux0 supposed to still be sd2vita and my uma0 as memory card? Any suggestions would be appreciated
@Ruddz01 you should follow this I literally hacked my PS Vita in my Kitchen the day I got it while cooking dinner lol. I saved sites though this was one I used. The SD2VITA should be set to ux0 or ur0 depending on the device too but the site will help more. I only remembered how to switch it during this because it was still fresh in my mind. vita.hacks.guide/yamt.html
It sure is for some reason everyone walks up to me and say what the hell is that a psp and I tell them what it is and what channel to watch if they want to know all about it this thing blows people's minds 🎉😂 thanks for putting me on my guy

This is an incredible piece of information and hardware. I really appreciate this.
This is incredible!
As someone that collects cartridges, i really didn’t wanna do the cartridge SD adapter.
Ha I actually forgot the slot for games I need to buy a bunch more
Yay a PS Vita vid from you
I have another PS Vita video coming too, I swapped the screen meaning complete gut and replace. It was actually really fun!

I thought they stopped making this, ill be ordering one with the MicroSD extension for replacing the Sim card.
There's a guy in Mexico lol make sure to get the extension ribbon cable too it helps a lot!

Awesome you could do some of this on an Android but I won't be sharing a guide as Android is limited.
Credit to spheresolid for making the original 3G adapter.
Never heard of them I just found this mod from the company linked below. But cool that others have made these.
Thinking if I should get a 3ds or vita? 🤔
Depends do you want to play Vita Minecraft or 3DS Minecraft on a New 3DS XL?
@@DNAMobileGamingboth? Lol
Great video btw
If I never had SD2VITA and am going from using an official memory card straight to this, does anything change in the process? Just wanna make sure
You don't need the SD2Vita as long as you have a regular memory card. Remember the slot where the SD2Vita goes is normally for the game carts. So if you want to hack your Vita with the default card, just transfer everything from it instead.
@@DNAMobileGaming Got it, thanks
How much frame bumps did you get on taxxing games like GTA Sa after doing this mod? Just curious.
I have yet to try SA as I guess it is a homebrew port but I have noticed loading times for games especially Minecraft have increased. I am using a good micro SD card as well so that will help for sure.
@@DNAMobileGaming That's very promising, I wish I could do the mod too but I have the non 3g PSV 1000
Seems to be sold out at the mo, are there any other sellers for this? Had no idea this was a thing and I have a decent physical collection I still want to use
I just added the link to where I bought mine I'll add the files later as I guess RUclips didn't save my description properly.
I ordered mine from Mexico, took 3 weeks to arrive
Didn't that card you removed also handle the wifi and Bluetooth?
No what I think you're referring to is the upgrade option to swap the 3G for WiFi/Bluetooth as my WiFi/Bluetooth still works perfectly as I'm getting a few emulators through it right now as I write this. I looked into this too because I saw someone on YT share an upgrade mod like this.

Wicked guide as usual my friend!
The link to the files seems to be missing, can you please point me to where I can download?
Just fixed this sorry your comment got lost but I added them now not sure why they didn't save!
@@DNAMobileGaming Thank you very much I wound up finding them but will def help the next guy!
Love mods for handhelds just never liked the vita
will you still be able to have wifi?
Yes of course I'm pretty sure I share something about that.
You need to adjust the volume level of your mic. It's clipping REALLY badly.
Cool beans
Does this work with the latest firmware?
Yes my Vita is on the latest firmware with the hack!

You should only use the one the other slot is technically for games and not suggested to use both from what I researched back then.
