Quantum of Phallus posted:Google dropping support for things so casually makes me really interested to see how badly they gently caress up Stadia in a few years That's certainly a thing Google's known for, but in this case it has to do with dropping support for Flash (for reasons that should be clear at this point) in favor of HTML5. If older devices don't have an app based on the latter, then understandably they would no longer be able to access Youtube. This one's not really on Google. Ignis posted:You could run Opera Mini on a PSP so that's still better off than the Vita stock browser imo That's a good point, but modern smartphones have made a lot of what the PSP/Vita can do obsolete. Really the only thing I need the handhelds for is their native games, because phones make better mobile browsers and media players. Smartphone games on the other hand are generally poo poo compared to gameplay on a good handheld/console, largely because of the controls, but also because the experience is better without any freemium shenanigans or ads.

freemium shenanigans and ads are exactly why I want to hack every console I have and make it a walled garden to enjoy forever

someday there will be a good mobage, but that day is not today. Anyone else moving to switch eventually now that vita is done?

Alder posted:someday there will be a good mobage, but that day is not today. I mean I have both....  The Vita is still totally usable, and it can do PS4 remote play if that's your thing (and you don't want to use a PC for the same purpose.) The Switch is really nice though; they definitely learned from the Wii U and developed a viable gaming tablet with functional peripherals. The Switch doesn't supercede the Vita, though. Keep in mind I use my consoles/handhelds for native content, not homebrew and other stuff I can just run on a PC (like, for example, the GPD WIN.)

My vitas are all in great shape even though I've played one or the other daily since buying one launch day, the eternal ps1/psp/psv backlog just got fata morgana and will be getting SaGa here soon. Someday I'll buy a switch probably, but no rush. Maybe the New Switch XL Plus next year.

I got mine for about $220 total a couple months ago; there was an Amazon Warehouse Deals 20% off thing so I used that and got a like-new Switch for like $100 off! Games and accessories, on the other hand, have far exceeded the cost of the Switch itself....

The vita's standby mode is powerful. I remember being able to leave it on standby for like 3 days and come back to it with most of the charge still there. 3DS wouldn't turn on after like a day or 2 in standby mode

I never trust the 3DS standby. Sometimes it seems to last for ages, other times I'll close the lid and come back the next day and it's asking for charge. Vita one seems to last for ages.

for some reason my Vita has desperately slow wifi and remote play barely works, which is a shame. downloading games is really annoying too!

That's because the wifi chip is loving garbage, like every Sony console that's had one. It's nothing to do with your specific Vita.

Take it apart and check the wire, if it's not secure you'll have some trouble. I used to (and probably will again in a few weeks) do ffxiv raiding on my vita, download speeds are never going to be stellar but remote play on a wired ps4 should be fine.

IIRC changing the dns server to 8.8.8.8 helps also. Also, disable HDCP on your ps4. (Will break spotify and such.)

I had a most of my handheld gaming devices stolen from my car a few years ago. I ultimately got some of them back, because the thief sold them for cash to Gamestop which meat he had to give a copy of his driver's license for security (  ).The items were held as evidence for like 9 months before I could get them from the cops, and my PSP had gone completely dead. My DS Lite still turned on however, and even had a green battery light!

I thought it was weird that when my local used game mom & pop would quarantine a recently bought used console for weeks before allowing it to be sold, but it glad to see that kind of policy actually works

You have to link it and be online at least once, and i've never heard of anyone getting hit with a ban over it.

Even after repeated connection issues when I didn't update the version spoofing value I haven't been banned. Still able to buy and download games without issue to this day. Speaking of, FF4 complete is very tempting.

I got a Nyko Power Grip for the Vita-2000 and it seems pretty good, I just wish the one for the Vita-1000 was as readily available and inexpensive!

I paid $30 for one for the 1000 that has R2L2R3L3 and no battery and it feels pretty flimsy

What is the go to grip for the vita 2000? I’ll mainly be doing PS4 remote play and moonlight pc streaming, so having a ds4 equivalent set of buttons would be nice. Like everyone I hate the touch back and the screen corner options for L and R 2 and 3

It doesn’t connect through a port or anything, the triggers touch a membrane that then touch the pad, if that makes sense. Really good for PSX games. Also gives the Vita a little more ergonomics. i didn’t get it from amazon but I’m pretty sure I paid close to $50 for it.

waah posted:How expensive could they be, I bought mine for like $40 back in the... Yeah it's especially weird considering the -2000 ones are like $20. It's not a new system but it's not that old. I did find that quite a bit of the PSP accessories I was looking for are rare and marked up, but that's more understandable considering it's going on 14 years old.

Found an OG Vita for $40 at the local goodwill. Now I have to play Golden. And P3P. What else is good? It has some fairly deep scratches on the display. I've hit it with novus plastic polish and it helped a lot, is there a better solution or should I just go another couple rounds with it? Ordered a screen protector as well.

Since you seem focused on JRPGs I'm going to suggest Trails of Cold Steel. There are also a lot of good Atelier games available for the Vita. I'd suggest Atelier Ayesha because it's one of the better entries and doesn't have a modern console re-release.

huge atlus and sega fan, but atelier has always looked waheyhey too cute for me. I should get over it and dive in, probably. Trails looks great though. Any weird platinum-esque action games? Locoroco-esque oddities? also why did I just buy undertale again

Holy crap, 4 years of PS+ will give you a ton of free vita games!! I was looking for a couple games to get digitally (I have a sd2vita, so no physical games) and I decided to check my download list. 13 pages later, I have 33 items in my Vita download queue. Amazing what happens when you ignore something for years. I’ll hold off on new game purchases for a bit
