Should I buy a PS Vita? Mainly for emulation and PS1/PSP games

Should I buy a PS Vita? Mainly for emulation and PS1/PSP games...

No, buy a PSP instead.
Much better price, bigger homebrew library, emulators and PS1 titles run better.

Yeah, I'm going to have to go with PSP on this one.
Besides the memory cards aren't proprietary and don't cost and arm and leg!
I like my Vita, but fuck those memory card prices!

Sure, if you hack it. sd card adapters are coming soon too.

You should buy a vita for a companion peice for your PS4 to play on the go or on the toilet like so.

Only if you also want Vita games. Don't get a PSP, the lack of a second analog stick is just stupid to recommend.

PC emulation if you don't care about Vita.

>Should I buy a [handheld]
No.

If you do get a Vita and install cfw, keep in mind that after a reboot you need a wifi connection to access cfw AND if you leave your Vita on sleep mode for too long there is a bug where you can't load/save Vita games. So when you turn it on you need wifi to reaccess cfw and don't leave it in sleep mode for any more than a day, or else the save bug can get ya

Any places to buy a vita on the cheap?

Wrong.

Needs one time fix.

Vita is shit for PSP emulation, every 2d game looks worse. It's better for PS1 emulation cause two analogue sticks, but there are not that many PS1 games which need it
PSP is superior and way cheaper, just need to find one with good battery

PSP games are pretty decent on PSV actually. Plus there are a couple of plugins that allow you to use right analog for cam control.

decent, yeah. Still worse than original
when I bought Vita I was looking forward using it instead of my PSP with dead battery.
Was hugely disappointed and in the end still playing PSP games on PSP plugged into wall
if it works for you - great. You'll actually get a use out of Vita. But I can't stand increased blurriness.

Vita has fucking amazing PSP support, you can have full control of PSP mode, you can turn off the bilinear filtering that Sony put in, and on that OLED screen PSP games look incredible. I dunno where this 'Vita sucks for PSP' shit comes from, mine is the ultimate PSP machine.

I'm not going to mod my Vita, and just buy psp games off psn legit. Is the quality worse for me?

i installed adrenaline but where do the psp/ps1 isos go?

Yes. PSP>HenVita>LegitVita for psp games.

good for you, see this 3D games look ok, yeah. 2D looks worse than PSP ones. Regardless of filtering options and such.
>ultimate PSP machine
good for you, my Vita gathering dust after Disgaea 4 - being completely useless. I play PSP way more.
probably worse, I dunno what modded PSP allows. Not modded gives you two option - with or without shitty filter

There should be an ISO folder inside Adrenaline's folders on your card, they go there

Is it complete garbage or is it just a little blurry? I can deal with a little bit of blurriness.

ux0:/pspemu/ has psp memorystick's structure (ISO and PSP/GAME folders)

But in your picture, the Vita one looks better?

I can make some screenshots with different filters if you want.

It's a shit picture cause I have shit camera. Lack of space between pixels of lowres screens honestly affects at least Disgaea and FFT. Disgaea - Some UI elemetns and characters become way blurrier because of that and in FFT text's font becomes really annoying to play with.
I mean maybe I'm just idealist and lowres screen lower, sure. But I still have some buyers remorse after getting Vita cause I just can't play PSP games on it. It looks worse to me, and why settle on worse when I have psp

If you're not using a hacked Vita then I understand, vanilla Vita PSP stuff is pretty blurry and ugly. It's really only when you hack it open that you can make stuff look really nice.

Turn off bilinear filtering you knobhead.

I did, it looks worse regardless.
nope, but recently was thinking to mod it. can you show photos of FFT?

If you're up for it, sure. I'm concerned, because I really needed to replace my psp, but I don't want to play games in VHS quality.

No, it looks much better on the Vita's OLED screen rather than the 1000/2000's washed out screens or the 3000/Go's piss-filtered screens.

I would post FFT but I don't have it on my card at the moment unfortunately.

I can deal with colors, I can't deal with doubled resolution, sorry.
oh well, I'll just keep in mind that there are more options for modded vita. thanks anyway

Anyone who owns a vita and hasn't played Shiren The Wanderer is committing a crime.

I'm waiting for sale

I can deal with a perfect 2x upscale when the screen is bigger, has better colors, a faster
refresh rate and the games run better on Vita.

Bigger != better
colors - maybe. But also they are oversaturated for my taste. so it taste thing
>refresh rate, run better
>he didn't overclock his PSP

i really liked the psp1000/2000 screens but they'd get these dead pixel lines so predictably

Here's a kinda shitty pic of FF2 running on my Vita, without any of the filters on.

well that looks better than I expected.
I wish I could compare to vanilla PSP on Vita.

This is a PSP game on a Vita, right? Doesn't look too bad. The edges look nice and sharp.

if you are not going to pirate it, only do it if you can read moonrunes because the nip PSN has a lot of good old games, it also runs better than the PSP for obvious reasons.

Looks like my screenshot plugin doesnt work in adrenaline, so heres some shitty sreenshots from MGA.
Original render.

Bilenar.

I wish I knew where my PSP was at the moment or I'd try to get a comparison shot, but it's buried somewhere from my move.

Used PSPs cost almost as much as used Vitas at this point, but the Vita can emulate better and you can pirate Vita games too.
Or get a PSTV if you don't care about portability. Costs about the same for a brand new one and has USB storage.

I emulated the SNES game. Does that count?

this one looks better

Stupid 1-minute pause between posts.
Adrenaline filters start here.
Sharp Bilenear.

not a big deal user, your photo looks better than those PSP 2D games I have on Vita, so I guess Vanliila Vita adds some other shit aside of that one filter.

>Bigger != better
Yes, that's correct.
>colors - maybe.
There's an option to desaturate the colors.
>refresh rate
You can't overclock a PSP screen, lad.
>he didn't overclock his PSP
I did. Wipeout Pure/Pulse maintain a near-perfect framerate on my Vita compared to my Go with its CPU clocked at 333mhz.

Ew. Even my sub-$200 backup laptop has better color reproduction than both those models.

Well that's not so bad. I think bilinear looks worse and blurrier, so I'll just stick with no filter. Thanks.

Yep, it's just the game with only 'Sharp Bilinear' active, which is basically pixel-mode. It's also at 2x size but that's it.

Advanced AA. (blurry feast imo).

I've had two psp's die even after replacing the analog assembly on one, from something just cooking in the motherboard. Get a vita, mine has yet to die and is reaching the combined hours I got on both of them

Yes, but the one on the vita is one of the sequels that improves on it in every way.

LCD3X, last one.
Btw, i have both vita and psp and im playn psp stuff on vita.

>Scanlines
>On a fucking PSP game
Whoever named that filter should be shot. It's nothing like Sharp Bilinear.

>You can't overclock a PSP screen, lad.
yeah, my bad, was mostly thinking about framerate
>I did. Wipeout Pure/Pulse maintain a near-perfect framerate on my Vita compared to my Go with its CPU clocked at 333mhz.
I honestly didn't tried with 3D games, I overclocked to get rid of slowdown in Phantom Brave

Hmm. I have a question now. Can you overclock Vita itself so Disgaea 4 item world won't be a mess?

You don't need an internet connection other than the initial setup you newfag. You backup the exploit into your email inbox which is triggered locally with 99.9% success rate.

This looks great. Very crisp.

It mimics psp3000 display defects i think. Not defending the name tho.

So long as you stay on version 3.60 and use henkaku, yes. Item world is smooth that way.

these filters just keep getting worse :/

Just get a phone so you can look like a normie if the fancy ever strikes you.

that's good news. I should stop updating my Vita I guess to be able to hack it easily few years down the line

PSP vs Vita rendering is subjective, you're getting a pro and con on either side anyway. On PSP you are getting native 480x272 resolution but the space between each pixel is visible pixel gaps due to the low ass PPI. On Vita it looks super crisp due to 960x544 and its high PPI, but the crispness also means 2x2 pixels. 2x interger scale looks beautiful to some people, and the plebs can't handle it.

everything worthwile has PS4 version. why I should get worse version of games?
>penny punching princess
fucking NISA and their renaming. also it's spring 2018
really grasping for straws?

vita has no games, get a 3ds instead

PSP is running fine for me, just has a lot of dirt on the screen. I think I tried opening it before and stripped a screw. Needs a new battery too.

>vita has no games
neither does the 3ds

No Persona 5, why even bother :P

I just made an ISO of Ac!d just to play it on my Vita recently, but I forgot that the gameplay is so blah.

It sucks, because I really would like to finish it and it's sequel someday.
