I wanted to guy a Switch, and I am debating if I want to mod now and get an older model, or buy a new one and wait for better methods. Or... I could install one of the modchips on it
I was thinking of online play as I got my 3DS 1 year ago for that, but I just remembered that it now costs monthly for subpar service. Honestly, you are making me thinking about it more now about what I wanna get.
I sold my PSP years ago and now have a modchipped switch. With the release of android for it, I can play most PSP games on the PPSSPP emulator. Some games have issues, but even the God of War games run at full speed. It’s definitely not as small as the PSP or Vita. I’d recommend getting the OLED model and using a mod chip, as that’s probably the only way to hack it. Nintendo really locked down the later versions
I have a vita that ultimately stopped working, and gets stuck in a boot loop (original os, no modding/tampering done). Do you think it's hardware related? Or could I still flash a new os on that puppy.
The amount of Dissidia and Persona 4 Golden I played on this thing was unreal. Gorgeous screen on the original model and I actually really liked the bubble UI.
It's a shame the memory card standard killed this thing off. Would have loved to see more support for it.
imho ruined by its memory card. If it was with a real memory standard, it could be used to watch media on the go. (it can play media, right? Or it's strictly for gaming?)
You can play media off it, but the cards were proprietary, expensive, and prone to failure, especially the big ones. I've had the 64gb card get corrupted a few times.
I liked my Vita a lot, but the UI was such a step back from the PSP. I hated the bubbles so much. Felt like it was all because they wanted to utilize the touch screen.
Never had one, but repeatedly thought about getting one because of portable emulation. Nowadays there are better options for that, but the Vita itself is still a really nice little machine. At least for now, I'm happy with my Switch tho.
I’m always the annoying guy praising how good the Vita is.
One of my favorite thing about it is how repairable it is! The screws are even color-coded! Changing anything is ridiculously easy. (Changing the screen is a bit harder but you can change the whole front shell which includes the screen very easily)
I'm not using a PS Vita, but I recently moved from pure Steam Link app to Moonlight and Sunshine (amd GPU) and I'm flabbergasted at how well it works so fucking better than Steam Link. It's like being in front of your main monitor.
I was unironically a massive fan of the PSTV, it was literally just a box with the internals of a Vita that you plugged into your TV. It was absolutely fantastic to be able to carry around a tiny console to hotels to get a proper gaming experience
I still pull my Vita out like once a year to play something. Before the Steam Deck came along, this was my favorite handheld. Especially because I love JRPGs and the library for the genre is/was impressive.
Unfortunate that Sony didn't give the Vita the support it needed to be successful.
Dude, Vita is my daily driver. My advice? Mod the ever living fuck out of it! It’s well past end of life. And Sony doesn’t seem to give two shits that I’m playing online on a hacked and spoofed version, on a game I didn’t pay for.
