Has anyone had an issue on their Vita of the memory card frequently being 'removed', despite not actually being removed? I'll grab my system out of my bag to play it and at least once or twice a week, it'll have booted back to the menu with that message, losing progress in a game I'm playing. Then I'll need to pull the card out and put it back in, then restart the system, to actually have it recognize the card.

Jailbreak that poo poo and put one of the SD adapters in it

Unless you're not on 3.6 in which case lol and rip

If you're not on 3.60 spend the $35 and get a fresh motherboard in there it is absolutely worth it just for sd2vita.

One of these days I'm going to play original Atelier Rorona, original Neptunia, and Sonic 2006.

Why is the original Rorona lumped in with these piles of poo poo? I don't remember it having any glaring issues. There was one tiny exploit I remember using to regain health for party members without using time, but that was it.

It's missing a bunch of QoL features compared to later games and has a number of frustrating issues. Passing on traits during item synthesis is random, rather than being able to pick the ones you want. You have to run around town constantly without any kind of fast travel system to visit NPCs if you want to build friendship with them, which is necessary for most of the game's endings. All special abilities in combat require spending HP to cast and it's pretty badly balanced (in fairness, Rorona Plus has pretty shaky balance too, but mostly in your favour, which is at least more fun).

Rorona Plus fixes all the major gameplay issues and adds a significant amount of extra content, so there's not much reason to play the original now.

I remember it selling like trash and everyone forgetting about it, mostly. Once people realized that "sticking it to the man" meant dropping over $100 on a bad game, they just kinda vanished.

Speaking of this is there seriously no way to buy the latest DOA fighting game on Vita without it being packaged with the weird minigame dating simulator? I always liked the counter system in DOA but I can't find any way to just buy the fighter.

Vita has DOA5+, which might not have all the latest balance changes (if any even exist!) of DOA5LR, but it's pretty much all you've got.

That's what I'm saying, Vita actually doesn't have DOA5+ on the (US) store, just a bundle of DOA5+ & DOA Paradise for fifty bucks.

I guess it goes to show how unpopular the Vita was in the west but Gamestop has plenty of left over codes for things like that.

Ha ha, really? I didn't even know they were a bundle. I always just saw the game in the wild at GameStop.

It's not even easy in a fun way, thanks to the implications of the following features:

* The experience system allows you to distribute various different kinds of XP freely among your party members.
* The action system gives you a limited number of action points each turn, which you can also distribute freely among your party on a turn-by-turn basis: you could have all three of your party members take one action, or for the same AP cost you could have one party member take three actions.
* You regenerate action points faster if you have some of your party members take no action for a turn.
* Two of your party members at any given point in the game are obviously temporary characters; they're generally weaker than whoever your main character is in that chapter of the game, and any XP spent on them is wasted in the long run
* Your permanent party members don't all come together into a single party until literally the final dungeon, which is also the point where you get a useful degree of access to a game mechanic that lets you bypass the AP system and have all your characters take actions without stepping on each other's toes. (You can technically access this mechanic earlier, but only under specific circumstances that you usually want to avoid).

The upshot of all this is for most of the game, the mechanics encourage you to pump all your experience into one character and have them take all the actions while the other two sit around doing nothing.
