Saved!Holy shit this thing takes forever to charge. I guess I never really cared about charging time in the past, since you can just leave it plugged in overnight so who cares. But my standards/habits have changed and now I want it to charge faster. Last time it took like 8 hours which is unacceptable. (Granted I had wifi on and was downloading games, but when the feck are you supposed to download games if not then??)
I think it may be my fault for charging via USB. I never use the original AC adapter/brick, instead I take the USB cable out and use that by itself. From now on I should use the entire charger. I don't know how much faster it'll be but I know it will be faster because doing this solved the problem I had w the slim Vita one time where it wouldn't charge *at all* until I used the full adapter.
This is one area where the Switch beats the Vita I suppose. The charging rate on there is quite sane.-
Saved!KlemoibEditing … Maybe the battery is getting old? -
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … That seems unreasonably slow. Using the adapter should definitely speed that up. Also, hey Rukk! What are you playing on your Vita? I don't use mine nearly enough, although I was playing it a couple months ago. I might play Danganronpa 3 soon. It's the only one I haven't finished. -
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … I play Unit 13. I'm considering owning six Vitas and going through the game with each of the six operatives. (as opposed to whichever character is best suited for that mission as you're intended) That said, considering how much I try to "salvage" the Vita, for example by buying analog thumb grips, and have even considered gluing rubber feet on to the start select buttons (or volume up/down) or putting wd-40 on the charging port all to try and make the system a little more appealing.. I thought well in that case I could try out some muthafigging games right? So I started downloading some games, really scraping the bottom of the barrel at this point. I got FFX HD for fuck's sake. Hey at least I could write a review pointing out what's wrong w it? I'm likely to just keep playing Unit 13 though so it's like, whatever. :p -
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … I'm impressed there are still servers running for Vita games. Glad to see it's not dead. Six Vitas? Doesn't it allow for more than one save?
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … No.. I think it's only, like, jrpgs that do that. In the settings menu I saw a delete save data option, and that's it.
-
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … Lame. A lack of multiple save slots is such a downside. I love replaying games, but I never want to lose the progress I made on my first playthrough.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … I bought a khaki slim vita from Japan and it's very nice (shame the screen on the slim sucks so bad seeing as it is an incredibly nice design for a handheld overall, I think I like it more than ever after seeing one of the other colors), but I want each vita color to match a particular operative and I haven't decided yet who Khaki should be. There are two operatives that would fit well, Animal and w/e the black guy is called. (The game really doesn't do a good job of helping you remember their names, lol) I bought some copies of Unit 13 already so i think ill just boot the game up and try both until I decide.
-
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … I like that idea with the colors. I've never actually seen a slim vita in person, but from pictures, I always thought it had a nice aesthetic.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … It might actually be the best designed handheld of all time. Figures it would have a bad screen and no games.
-
Saved!KlemoibEditing … That's because nobody tickled it's belly. Why would it do it's best for people like that?
-
-
Saved!I think all that's left for me is to try running San Andreas on Vita, which I still haven't gotten around to installing. But I was wondering, if/when I do that, are there any other games I should also install while I'm at it?
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/android-games-running-on-ps-vita-currently-45-games-gta-sa-ff-iv-max-payne-crazy-taxi.39830/
Oh.. umm yeah, there you go. I fuess I'll start w GTA, Max Payne, Bully, and Conduit. Baba is You is on Switch, but mebbe I get that too, bc it's not as if I'm ever gonna play it on Switch.-
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … Don't, the vita version is unplayable. You pretty much have to have played the game on another console just to know what's going on. Defeated enemies just blink out of existence, no corpses or death animations. (P.s. I've also heard a conspiracy theory that the game runs slightly worse on the OLED model, making it so the only people who ever found the game remotely tolerable were those who bought the slim bundle when it launched)
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … I tried playing Borderlands 2 on PC, but then I found out I don't like Borderlands 2. I did hear the Vita version was patched, not to perfection, but like... improved.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … I did eventually play Borderlands 1/2/Pre on PS3 and realized I hated them. 2 was actually my least favorite of the three. But it was still a million times better than it was on Vita. If you're gonna play a mid game, better to have it run somewhat decently at least. Plus that way you know it's the game itself you don't like and not the port job.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … It's funny, playing Borderlands made me realize how derivative Rage was, at least in terms of story/setting. But I still preferred Rage.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … I also preferred RAGE (and I didn't have to mute the voice acting in that one)
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … Wait, why are Sonic 1-2 and Mania not listed? Not that I care much about those particular games but it nonetheless indicates that the list is not complete.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … Husky, I think I got more or less every official vita release covered. Borderlands, Killzone, Resistance, Unit 13, Duke Nukem.. I've tried em all. https://psnprofiles.com/ZEELLO?pf=vita been to there. done the that. All that's left for me is homebrew/emulators sadly, unless I decide to replay the same games.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … Ah there we go. Sonic Mania, Professor Layton?! oh sheet https://vitadb.rinnegatamante.it/#/ Doom 3, Doom 64, Blood, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Wipeout Rewrite.. Bugdom, RVGL, Cuphead (surprise!!)..
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … oh hell no, the layton games require vita to be held vertically. buh bye
-
-
Saved!Wow the Vita hack really is super simple now. I hacked my Vita a couple weeks back and that enabled me to actually use a micro SD and download my 168 legal Vita games I own/got from PS+ over the past 18 years or so. Initially was going to emulate some stuff and try getting the Android games to work but have just been content playing through the library I didn't realize I had cause I only ever had like 10 games on my shitty Vita card at a time over the years.
-
Saved!KlemoibEditing … Oooh sounds exciting. :-D I always liked the idea of the vita. Never got one because it seemed like Sony was not giving it a lot of support.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … I hacked my Vita this year too. If you have DBdownloader (should come w the hack) then you should be able to get the batteryfixer app. All you have to do is run it once, and doing so "resets" the battery. I noticed a huge difference. My battery not only lasts much longer than it did before, but my battery gauge is more accurate as well. From VitaDBdownloader you should also be able to get apps that disable the lock screen and home button LED. I also have Vitabright 2.0 which lets you lower the screen's brightness beyond stock settings, but that I had to install manually via USB.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … I still have not gotten GTA San Andreas to work but I'm wondering if I should even bother. I think it's positively mad that the screen was to be awake for the entire duration of the download and install. That's ok for ultility apps w small filesizes such ae the ones I mentioned above, but not for like, entire PS2 games.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … I recommend these games: Gravity Rush, Unit 13, Sonic Transformed, Need for Speed Most Wanted, Injustice, Under Night in-Birth, The Treasures of Montezuma 4, and King Oddball. That last one is only like 24 MB so definitely get it.
-
Saved!KlemoibEditing … Gravity Rush looked great. I played it a bit on a demo vita. It was cool though I didn't really care for the comic aspect of it. The actual game play was pretty tight from what I remember.
-
Saved!ExplojinEditing … Yea I played through Gravity Rush way back when, never got around to the sequel though. Maybe I'll have to revisit it. Everytime someone mentions it though I think they're talking about Gravity Crash and get confused. -
Saved!ExplojinEditing … And thanks for the homebrew/hack recs. I briefly popped into the DB but there's so much in there wasn't sure what was good and the few things I downloaded needed extra steps or were shit but I gotta delve deeper when I got the focus.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … Oh fuck me I forgot Fez. xD But it seems you're already familiar with that one.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … When using my Vita, I can hold down the home button to bring up a menu containing volume and brightness sliders. But I was wondering- did I install something to get that, or is it stock? I remember when I first got a Vita in 2015 or so it did not have volume slider, and I specifically remember posting on a forum wishing it did bc the volume buttons are inconveniently located. I think it was added at one point, either Sony added it in OFW, or CFW adds it by default. Explojin do you have a volume slider there? There should be two I think, one for music volume and the other is called master volume, as well as the one for brightness.
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … I thought I'd go to youtube to find my answer bc people post tutorials for really obvious shit from time to time. xD But instead I stumbled on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUc4efIENIo so apparently it *is* possible to get PS1 and PSP games on the main home screen. Good to know.
-
-
Saved!Sure, why not.
-
Saved!Want a Vita that feels more like a PS3 controller? Try the HORI Remote Play Assist Attachment. The shoulder buttons press levers which put pressure on parts of the rear touchpad. And this is used to add buttons to the system.
I don't know how it does it, but it works. I imagine that I could play PS3 games on this now, but man this is weird.-
-
Saved!DJ_JJSliderEditing … ...Wait, how would that work on a Vita? Point the Move at the Vita screen? -
-
-
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Something stylus-sized, easy to point at the screen while on the go. Nintendo ought to fix up that Power Glove though, no better way to play a Mega Man or Metroid FPS than by aiming with your wrist.

Saved!Tell me some good Vita RPGs
-
-
-
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … Come on guys, I thought you were hard-core gamers? Vita must have more than Freedom Wars whatever that is. -
-
-
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Great idea. I hear there are other RPGs you can play too, but I'll have to get back to you on them. Folk often say Persona 4 Golden is one of the best there is.
-
Saved!HelendlocEditing … Most of the Vita RPGs are very very niche and I don't really fit into many of those niches, so it's hard to recommend stuff. I mean there's Persona 4 Golden but I'm that one weird-ass guy that prefers the original so I never recommend it to people. A lot of people like Demon Gaze though, if that's your thing. Also Freedom Wars.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … I own a Sword Art Online RPG that I still haven't played, think there's at least a couple of those on the system. Dunno why I'd play it now that it's been ported to PC though. Keyboard and mouse baby, when can I get Freedom Wars too? Or Freedom Wars 2.
-
-
Saved!Calling all Vita experts, your nodley needs you. How do I hack this thing? How do I emulate on this thing?
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … What firmware update are you on? This should help http://wololo.net/vita-cfw4dummies/
-
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … ahhhhhhh that's not good that's bad um maybe someone'll come up with a hack later, the Vita's got a good fanbase, and Sony's pretty much done with it
-
Saved!NodleyEditing … Fuck. I should have researched before I did that. I've had it 2 days though and had 15 minutes only to play on it, I've factory reset it and updated it, that's it.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … The mistake makes sense, your modded systems are all ones without this sort of issue, right? Hopefully there'll be a new workaround.
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Good news, there is some hacker that claims to have cracked the latest patch, but doesn't want to release it until Sony discontinues the Vita--something they announced they were doing at the Tokyo Games Show.
-
-
Saved!The end of the PS Vita is nigh, and no successor is planned

-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Still waiting for the 4DS to confirm the spacetime model and revolutionize both how we play games and our understanding of the universe we live in
-
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … :( That's a shame they aren't making a follow-up. I really like my Vita and PSP
-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Yeah, the Sony portables were great. One of the best versions of The Force Unleashed, two Battlefront games with more features than any others (even the ones being made today, oddly enough), one of the best Kingdom Hearts games, and frickin Freedom Wars man I want more FREEDOM WARS but with keyboard and mouse goddamn I wanna use that grappling hook with keyboard and mouse
-
-
Saved!rockshard PhDEditing … The PSP Battlefront games are quite unbearable. And they have ass for graphics. I kind of like Battlefront II but it has no proper campaign mode. And every match is the same. It would've been interesting to see some levels force you to use certain weapons. How is that any worse than playing on different maps, which only barely changes the gameplay. Anyway there are much better TPSes on the system, but they don't have Star Wars in the title, so I won't bother naming them.
-
-
-
Saved!DJ_JJSliderEditing … I forgot about Battlefront until DICE released that trailer. Oh, it's a remake of that series that I ignored back in the days...Phooey.

Saved!I just turned on my PS Vita for the first time in over a year and found two photos of Puss on it
