Rinkles posted:A guy in the monitor thread posted their six year old oled watch recently I'm not saying OLED burn-in isn't real, but I've never seen any examples of a Vita looking anywhere near that bad.  this is the worst I could find and I'm not totally convinced that's burn-in anyway. You'd think so long after the launch there'd be a tonne of pictures of OLED Vitas with burned screens, but... there aren't.

Szurumbur posted:I've a question probably no one has the answer to, but I'm curious if any one has some thoughts: what was the reason behind linking PSVita game bubbles with save data, even on cart? My ideas are along the thought of making the bigger memory cards more valuable, since you can't just delete the games; also, to make people more eager to buy and maintain PS+ subcription, since that enabled cloud saves. No idea. Save data is stored in a completely separate set of folders from game data, it would not have been very difficult at all to have a submenu in the Settings app that let you delete saves on a per-game basis, separate from the bubble. But then again storage on Vitas is just weird overall. Did you know that even the "no internal storage" OLED Vitas have an internal partition with more than 2.5 GB of space you're never allowed to interact with unless you jailbreak your system? All that's normally stored on there is your bubble-layout and some preferences and system files, you'd never in a million years take up more than a couple tens of megabytes of it through normal usage. I haven't jailbroken my PSTV yet, but my understanding is that the 2K Vitas and PSTVs don't actually have any additional internal storage compared to OLED models; instead, they've just taken a gigabyte from that existing internal partition and made a new partition from it, which takes the place of the memory card if there's no physical memory card in the machine during boot.

It was probably meant to bandaid savegames as an exploit entry point, given the entire state of the Liberty City Stories explot.

I read somewhere that the partition is there so Sony knows every Vita always has space to download and install critical firmware updates.

I thought that stopped being a problem after plasma TVs went away? I got a new LG OLED TV, and it has a ton of stop-measures to prevent burn-in. That said, I'm pretty sure it's mostly aimed at people who just leave the TV on 24/7 with Fox news, so the little News symbols and such will burn-in, eventually. not that I've ever seen it

I’ve only ever had first hand screen burn experience once but it was like 15 years ago when we destroyed a friend’s parents’ plasma by playing guitar hero constantly at a 72 hour party weekend and burning the note ramp thing into the middle of the screen. So don’t play your vita for 72 hours straight is my advice.

the Game Gear TV tuner was top-tier with the A/C adapter, some wild tech there. Man, the Vita was just too ahead of its time. Would y'all have been fine without the--arguably gimmicky--back controls and such? The fact that I could play PS All-stars online using a bluetooth mic was pretty wild to me. Switch still can't do anything like that.

Tearaway was really fun so I would rather have more games that used the back touch and gyro sensors and camera creatively than not have them. They really should've had 4 shoulder buttons though

The vita is still the best feeling handheld I've ever used. Something about the form factor is incredibly comfy and I've always liked the mushy shoulder buttons and hyper-clicky face buttons.

So idk where exactly to ask about it but ever since installing setting up an sd2vita it seems like i've completely lost my ability to get stuff from the actual psn store by and large. Or at the very least it's extremely random and subject to the whims of i don't know what. Like, I was able to download my copy of DXC and Ys VII with no real problems but past that it's been a slew of errors ranging from 'cannot download' after spending an hour actually downloading the thing, or a cannot install/corrupt file error. I was hoping that having a nice big sd card in here would make it so that I could have easy access to all the crap I've accumulated over the years but it doesn't seem to be taking now, which is kinda lame.

The back controls were mostly useless but then again I am not sure they really that much of a hurdle or cost either. When they were used they were neat. The memory being proprietary and super expensive was definitely a bigger problem. Also the DS eating its lunch.

Besides that, if you legally own it already personally I’d just grab whatever game you’re trying to get from NPS instead, then you don’t have to worry about PSN being screwy with modded firmwares.

If downloading apps is also giving you trouble then you should probably check your micro sd if it's legit, sd2vita adapters don't really play nice with knockoff microSDs. If you're still getting issues with a different microSD then it's probably the adapter.

So new on Amazon these things are like 500 bucks. Used on eBay I’m seeing them from solid stores for $230 ish. Any reason not to buy the used? Batteries user replaceable? And how easy are they to hack for like GBA PSPgames?

Do you want a vita for vita/psp/ps1 games, emulation, or both? If it’s more on the emulation end, there are better options than the vita. If you want to play Vita, PSP and PS1 games, then a Vita is your best bet

No ps2 games HOWEVER. the modding scene has figured out how to port android apps to the vita, so PS2 games like the GTA games, Max Payne and (god willing) Bully are starting to show up. So far they have been extremely good ports, and indistinguishable from a real vita game

The vita can run all psp games natively. If the game in question was only ever physical, then you need to a rip of it The software called Adrenaline is what’s used to run PSP games and it basically just boots the Vita into PSP mode, but it’s not emulation, it’s the backwards compatibility layer E:fb

It is emulation, sort of, but the most relevant point is that it's the same emulation that's used to play PSP titles from the PlayStation Store. The only difference is that instead of using the built-in emulator to run a game directly, the built-in emulator is used to run a modded version of the PSP firmware, which can then run disc-dump games and the like.
