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

      I’ve recently started playing on my PSP slim again, it’s a neat wee device especially when loaded up with 32gb of games, a 12ish hour internal battery, and a USB-C port so I can charge it with the same cable as my phone!

      Had a ton of great first-party releases back in the day, it emulates everything up to the PS1 and some DOS games like Fallout pretty well, and the homebrew scene is still quite active - the CFW/launcher I use gets new features every few weeks and a few of the games like NZ:P still have regular updates.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 keep mine charged to play Castlevania Symphony of the Night occasionally. And gravity rush. A shame they don’t bring out a successor but I think Nintendo has cornered the market unfortunately

    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.

    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…).

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