>What does it have over the PSP?

You can play everything on the vita AND emulate PSP on it.

How easy is it to hack (PSP was a joke) ? And how good are the exclusives?

What's y'all experience on aftermarket PSP batteries and chargers? I need to replace mine

>>15879913

It's literally a better PSP. Play Armored Core with 2 analog sticks, as God surely intended.

>What does it have over the PSP?

It can play Vita games, emulate the entirety of the PSP system and by extension PSP games + all the homebrew the PSP can run, and by extension of THAT it can run pretty much any game up to the PSX era.

Get the Vita if you want it all on the go, get the PSTV if you want a portable console to play on TVs. Get them with 3.65 Firmware and jailbreak the fuck out of them. 3.68 is also unlockable.

vita is a better psp, but much like the psp you need to get an sd card adapter

How often do Vita games run in 60fps?

>>15879920

far easier than a 3DS that's for damn sure, its pretty much pitiful

>>15879902

>the DS has a worse library

Nah, it had a different library but it was equally respectable. /v/ didn't do a great job cataloguing all the great things on the DS for the charts I've seen and a lot of shit went under the radar

Yes its worth getting a Vita, as people are saying its literally a PSP 2.0 with a sexy OLED screen.

2D games almost always run at a good 60 fps, usually not constant but near it, with a few minor to moderate drops or slowdown when there's a lot happening on screen

3D it varies, but usually its 20-30 FPS for most of the good ones, the worst ones are 13-22 FPS. Overclocking usually helps immensely with everything though.

>>15879920

Not as retard-proof as the PSP hack, but it's still pretty simple to do on the Vita (the time-consuming part is just configuring the hack itself once installed and sd2vita)

>And how good are the exclusives?

There arent a lot of actual exclusives left (besides Soul Sacrifice Delta, IA/VT Colorful, three Taiko Tatsujin games, EDF2 Portable V2, Persona 4 Golden, Dungeon Travelers, Net High, Ciel NoSurge), lot of shit were ported on PS4, PC and/or Switch. Didnt help that nearly everyone in the West shat on the Vita for its whole life but still begged for games coming to it, but what's done is done now.

The Vita library is still pretty good for what it's worth though, with all the western/japanese indies and jap publishers that supported them (Falcom, Bamco, Gust, Koei Tecmo, Marvelous, Experience, Nippon Ichi Software, Aquaplus, Studio Japan, D3 Publisher, Acquire)

> it can run pretty much any game up to the PSX era.

The hack still lacks of POPSLoader (necessary to make custom eboots work on previous versions of POPS) and TheFlow has no intention to bring it to Adrenaline until someone forks him money probably.

>>15880276

Don't forget Muramasa Rebirth, MeiQ, and Shiren the Wanderer

Anon you can run a PSP in a Vita. The PSP had a myriad of emulators made for it. You can play an emulator within an emulator in your Vita.

>>15880237

A good rule of thumb is if it wasn't an exclusive, it'll probably have issues. Though homebrew addresses that somewhat with overclocking. But yeah, swing by Vitagen if you want to know about the system.

>>15879936

Fair warning that that chart is more a list of what's on the system than what's actually good, and that you should do your own research on that front.

>>15880292

>2DS

N3DS more like. Depending what games you're interested in they're also god-tier when jailbroken, capable of running GBA, DS, and 3DS, and they're all possible to jailbreak thanks to their shitty bootrom coding. Unlike Switch where they patched out the RCM flaw.

also I use a DS Lite and Vita both as handhelds.

>>15880283

Shiren 5 was released on DS a decade ago originally, but I dont know if the Vita version has noticeable extra content to make it 'exclusive', like Muramasa (with its four expansions) and EDF2 Portable V2 (Air Raider class)

>>15880409

That's not it. POPSLoader is a plug-in for the PSP that allowed you to manually select different versions of POPS (the official Sony PS1 emulator) on a game-by-game basis. All the official PS1 eboots are optimized to run on the latest version of POPS, but some custom eboots won't launch on the latest version of POPS but will work on lower versions. From what I've heard, the Vita handle a modified POPS module different from how a real PSP works, hence why the plugin and Adrenaline both need work.

It's the sole thing that prevents completely ditching the PSP for PS1 emulation.

Is it worth getting the PSP Go over vita at all? Might be autistic but I like how it looks.

>>15880525

If you got money to throw away, sure

Sliders are a bitch to repair some years down the line, no option of UMD's, narrow controls layout and no vita games

>>15880509

Shiren 5 on the DS never got translated

>>15880533

Well that's a shame. I think I liked the slide design cause of the Xperia Play. Which apparently was also not great on release.

>>15881901

Oh yeah, that was a miss as well.

I wish they made better sticks for that one, and if they did, they would have had everyone by the balls iirc they had pocket minecraft first and at it's peak.

Don't get me wrong, sony sliders are sexy, just look at their walkman phones, yet they break like any moving part mechanism

Anywhere to get PSP ISOs?

Emuparadise wiped even the PSP ones.
