Literally the penicilin of handhelds

I'm allergic to penicillin

Pinnacle

Fuck

>penicilin
holy shit user how could you fuck up this badly

What do you think about this?

Me too

>mfw "penicillin" was actually kind of clever

it cures the nintendo gonorrhea

You mean in how it was a complete accident how it became useful?

Why doesn't the vita have an HDMI out cable?

>Sony does it
>Nobody cares
>Nintendo does it
>Hailed as the second coming of the Christ

Sony did it over 3 years ago you monkey.

It was supposed to have a proprietary hdmi out cable. There's a slot on the top that isn't used.

Kind of unnecessary.

So an antibiotic? How is this bad again?

Once the Vita is fully cracked open and prices for second-hand ones go down, I'll be picking one up. Until then, PSP is my console of choice.

>Let's make our own hdmi port
>Let's forget to actually make a cable that goes in it

What a strange comparison

The Vita has been fully cracked for like a year now. You only need to make sure you're on 3.60 or less firmware.

Honestly I really need to get on of these preferable with component out

How good are we talking? How's emulation, piracy etc?

Yes

>Retroarch for pretty much anything
>Pirate as many PSP games as you want
>There are plugins to allow dumping and backing games up, but I haven't personally tried them so I can't tell.

i thought this is some kind of clever metaphore, like psp being milestone in handhelds like penicillin was milestone in drugs

The PSP was good, but the Vita is basically a god-tier handheld. Even if you included the memory card prices, it's a solid ass device for a decent price.

Beautiful screen, great controls (admittedly lacking R2/L2), great battery, and the graphics are amazing for a handheld.

It's a goddamn crime it wasn't more successful.

did what?
You mean Vita?
It doesn't connect to a TV and you can't use a controller with it, hardly the same thing

that's a regular usb turned into a proprietary port, actually, not HDMI

even vita games?

Sony is cancer when it comes to proprietary shit and fucking over customers. Holy crap I hate Sony.

SAVAGE

yeah
only the ones that were released up until now though, as new releases require higher firmware and we can't get around that just yet
still, there's a torrent with over 400 games and pretty much all of them work flawlessly

there's even support for overclocking the gpu/cpu to get better framerates, and native USB mounting so you don't have to transfer games via FTP

No it should be me

Alright, whats the best SNES emulator for this thing? It seems like with each one I try I have to choose between full speed or decent sound, can't have both
Currently using snes9xtyl 0.4.2 standard and also 0.4.2 mod rev 28

Nintoddlers are pathetic. More news at 11.

SNES emulation on PSP is shit and will always be shit.

But Sony doesn't even do proprietary ports at this point
the original vita had some, but the 2000 model uses a regular micro usb
the PSP used a mini usb all along the way

i think Nintendo's approach is way worse when i want to transfer some games
on Vita i just plug the usb in and copy the title, but on 3DS i gotta get the memory card out, find an adapter and insert it again

If you're turning towards the PSP for SNES emulation then you done fucked up

It's the one major negative and the main reason I don't use it as my go-to portable emulation device

Oh well, can't win em all I guess

I'm pretty sure my PSP had a proprietary memory card. I know I paid a LOT of money for it. I have a memory card reader since I work with digital cameras so standard memory cards are definitely way above USB for me.

And you NEED the memory card on a PSP. I don't know if it's any different on Vita, but forget not having one on the normal PSP. Can't even save the game without it.

cards =/= ports

It just needed to be a Sony brand Memory Card. They worked on most Sony laptops and cameras and shit.

PSP GO had a proprietary port that is pretty much just a bigger version of the Vita proprietary port. Why they didn't just reuse that for the Vita is beyond me though.

You're right that PSP had proprietary memory but that user explicitly said proprietary ports.

w2c

psp go.

Yeah they price gouged the shit out of those when they were new

And I said "proprietary shit", because ports aren't the only proprietary cancer that Sony is offering. That includes both ports and other things. I don't care so much about ports, personally, because handheld consoles with wires hanging from them kind of lose the whole point.

Thank God this shit came to.

Too bad it's fragile as fuck

i've had mine for five or six years, still works just like on day one

Too bad Vita cards are shitsmall.

an "adapter"is coming
but to be honest, the best thing that could happen is getting full access to Vita and a CFW, so you could use game card's slot for an adapter.

I wonder how long until third parties make them
I'm sure there will be some way to make them for the henkaku vitas at the very least

Like a flashcard right?
Shit will be awesome.

sega did it before sony dum dum

To be fair, all flash memory was really expensive back in 2005. Memory sticks worse than SD cards, but nothing was cheap.
I remember finding a 1GB pro duo card for right around $90 at the end of 2005 and being really happy at the price.

It's a shame PSP GO used memory stick micro which are just as small as micro sd cards so no adapters.
Just checked the price and they're even worse than Vita memory cards in price now.

>mfw found 8 GB M2 memory card (one that go uses) for 10 euros

The latest update was January 3rd saying the SD card adapter is on a to do list.

yeah me too
the only allergy I have

If that was recent then that's a good deal. I got a 16GB M2 card for around $12 in 2010 for my GO on Amazon since nobody wanted them since nothing but maybe one Sony Ericson phone used them besides the GO. Now those are listed as $50 on Amazon.
I hope anyone with a Vita sees the writing on the wall for memory card prices since those are going to get much, much worse as time goes on

Couple months ago

>Saw the Vita Adventure Pack for sale for 20 €
>8 GB memory card
>6 Games (Tearaway, LittleBigPlanet, Gravity Rush, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, TxK, Escape Plan)
>Didn't buy it
I'm an idiot

Did you not see he posted the PSP Go

>8 GB memory card
are they still so ridiculously expensive? I stopped playing with my vita when I ran out of space and I couldn't be bothered to pay 60+ bucks for 16gb

Amateurs

>tfw 32gb Vita memory card master race with physical only collection, aside from the rare digital only release

>PS2 controller port
Does this actually work?

>physical only
>data is stored on a labeled memory card vs unlabeled

Autists never cease to amaze me

>I am literally retarded

No.

>I am literally retarded for thinking """"""""physical"""""""""" is different than having a game on your own memory card

ftfy

Just as bad as audiophiles that think vacuum tubes make their music sound better

>literally not understanding the advantages of physical over digital
>ignoring everything in the thread
>"hey guys I'm being retarded give me attention!"
Wew lad

But vacuum tubes do sound better

Anyone got updated version of this?

or just recommend me more psp games
