I modded my PS Vita so I can run Steam Link on it. Works great! It’s done by using Moonlight/Sunshine.

If you haven’t already, 100% look into software modding it, you’ll thank us later!

I’ve been looking into how to install h-encore, so hopefully can get that working.

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.

Never had the PS Vita. But I had the normal PSP Slim which was an amazing handheld!

I had the fat one and loved the bumps, made it so comfortable I couldn’t touch my friends’ slim. Miss it a lot but last time I tried it had a terrible stick drift. Wonder if they’re still available somewhere

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.

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.

Loved my Vita, but they were so stingy with those memory cards. Out of spite I never upgraded my storage so only ever had like 2 games on it at a time lol.

Mod it, get an SD2VITA, I have a 512Gb sd in mine.

Oh cool, TIL! Will check that out!

I got mine off…Amazon(👎)

Don’t listen to the reviews that say it doesn’t fit and that’s why it’s a garbage product.
These people are idiots.

The SD2VITA goes into the gamecart slot, not the memory card slot.
It even says so right in the instructions that come with it…

You reminded me I got a SD2Vita at some point, then I moved before I could try it and now I’m not sure where it is. I need to go scour my handheld shelves and boxes.

Do it!

Hacking my Vita and getting an SD2VITA is in my top 5 best decisions.

Oh yeah… I was still very much into console wars at the time it released, rooting for the Vita against the 3DS, haha.
I ended up importing it from HK to get it a few months (perhaps mere weeks even) before launch and I even made unboxings, reviews and news “coverage” on YT at the time. I loved that handheld to bits.
I don’t have my day one console anymore, but I do still have one (hacked 2000 model, I’d love to get a Hori grip for it but those are way too expensive nowadays…).

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 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

Only issue was games with touch controls.

Still use mine on the daily. It’s particularly great if you can play Japanese games

Jail breaking the device unlocked so much stuff and gave the vita so much life

Timeless design

It came out at the wrong time, but it is amazingly well designed. I’m looking at mine right now.

I like the design so much, in fact, that when it came time to buy a handheld PC I got the GPD Win4. Guess why.

For all its problems, I loved the home screen customization, it’s leagues better than the Switch’s.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!
