Are there ps1 classics available in the ps store on a non hacked ps vita? I'm trying to decide if I want to invest time in hacking my vita (the idea of going to these sites and downloading the hack executables on my home PC squicks me out from an virus/malware perspective) or if I can just see what is available from the ps1and buy it...

You can hack the Vita AND buy PS1 games on it.

There's no real advantage to NOT doing it.

It's not recommended to use a vita without an sd card adapter, which requires CFW. The original memory cards are hideously overpriced and failure-prone.

Yeah, I was very sad when my 16 GB card just broke one day for no reason and I lost EVERYTHING. :smith:

The memory card broke before downgrading was a thing and I didn't have an SD2Vita at the time, so I had to save up money to play anything. :smith:

Actually the guide has changed a bit, a new method was devised to streamline the hacking process for newer firmwares. However the author decided to remove the 3.60 portion of the guide because the new process was more "simplified". I get that it's easier to just tell people to update from their consoles and start from 3.73, but it doesn't get any more simple for 3.60 vita owners than to visit a website and have a hacked vita.

Tldr if your vita is already on firmware 3.60 then just start from here https://vita.hacks.guide/installing-henkaku

I found this out recently when I went to check how to hack the Vita using Linux (switched to Linux recently, already had setup Enso years ago). It's weird to see how the guides change when you reread after a year or two.

I wish I had a PS TV so I could play stuff on a TV or monitor. I remember reading somewhere that they were really cheap about 5 years ago and I feel like I missed out. :smith:

You could look into Vitadock, a project for using a Vita on a 3D printed dock, Nintendo Switch style. It uses a raspberry pi to handle streaming to TV thru HDMI.



Showcase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iIVMW3DivI
Github: https://github.com/SilentNightx/VitaDockPlus

The main plugin behind the Vitadock is vita-udcd-uvc; if you just want a barebone setup without investing on a dock and a Pi, you could always just use that plugin on its own.

:eyepop:

Sounds good to me, just need money to buy the equipment.

Update: I installed this and it worked. :wow:

The 3.74 update made me realize that I was locked out of the account I was using for at least several months and I had no idea until I tried to setup 2FA

I didn't invest much money into the account so it was not a huge loss at least
