Was thinking about getting a vita 2000 / slim version. How does it compare to the psp?

In a few years time the vita will probably be the better emu.

Awful D-pad. Also it sucks at SNES emulation.

Vita if you want PS1 and PSP.
New 3DS if you want SNES and GBA.

I like the D-Pad, but lack of proper SNES emulation hurts.

>>5567813
psp phat

>>5568049
but a handheld that runs everything is better than one that runs nintendo flawlessly surely?

>>5568049
>>5567990
SNES is a garbage console anyways, unless you like Mario remakes and shitty JRPGs.

>>5567970
I'm using one.
The OLED looks great and the Vita is basically an upgraded psp.
Takes some getting used to however.
I personally highly recommend it.

>>5568140
Oh, what I forgot to mention.
The D-pad on the Vita is smaller than on the psp, something I personally don't like but it's good otherwise.

>>5567813
best emu handeld.

>>5568126
I can't agree more. Such wasted potential.

>>5567813
Vita is simply better, more powerful, more compatibility, bigger and nicer screen, better joy pad setup.

I use Vita mostly for emulation, mame, psp and ps1.

>>5568743
Despite being "more powerful" the emulators don't run any better

>>5568814
psp games look better on it, with the smoother filters and higher resolution

The Vita could have been an amazing emulation platform but people disregard it because it's a flop as a console.

Surprising the legitimate success of a console is correlated with how interested bedroom coders are in making unofficial shit but here we are.

>>5568814
been some time that I don't mess around with most stuff on the vita but I remember this: There's a native emulator (made for vita) for the snes that I recall didn't run as many games as the psp emulators but the ones it does run, they run more than ok, some even without skipping a single frame, others are more than playable with some tweaks in the settings including low frame skipping. I recall also testing a gba non retro game in the emulator on the psp, then the same emulator running through the psp emulator (adrenaline) in the vita, it runs better in the vita/psp emulation.
I've playing harvest moon btn (psone original) on the vita through the psp emulator, it looks wonderful.

>>5568178
I hear this was absolute trash.

>>5567990
How or why? I emulate SNES on my PSP all the time, and I've never had an issue. Mostly ZAMN and SMT.

>>5568971
Whoever told you that lied. It's better than the original models in practically every way and it can even be plugged into a TV using pic related.

This feature really is only useful for PS1 games, though.

>>5569027
Yeah because playing PSP games on a TV with a Dualshock is not useful at all

>>5569027
doesn't support any kind of microSD adapter. I like it otherwise, but that's a killer flaw.

>>5569223
actually, let me correct myself. it supports a difficult to hide adapter, if you can deal with that. I'd easily trade TV-out for the discrete microSD adapter + suspend support of the Vita though.

>>5567990
I like the d-pad, but yeah it does struggle with snes emulation sometimes. I can partly chalk that to to not knowing what snes emulators I should use and having an older model psp, though. What emulator did you use?

>>5568126
That's silly anon. There are plenty of fun games on the snes. Racketboy has a pretty good list, if you're looking for something to play.

>>5569018
>I emulate SNES on my PSP all the time, and I've never had an issue
Just because you haven't noticed the issues doesn't mean you haven't had them. The processor just isn't enough to keep up with full speed SNES emulation and the audio is trash.

>>5567813
Any current phone is much better for emulation.

>>5569472
Yeah form factor sucks tho, and not found a decent accessory for em yet

>>5569296
Jesus, I think the N in NPC stands for "Nintendo."

What are the best emulators for the PSP?
Any that got updated recently?

>>5569472
Give me a phone with physical buttons. Playing on a touchscreen is hell

>>5569767
Why do you pretend to be a cunt? Sure you get replies, but then what? What's the point?
>hurr I was serious!
No you weren't.

>>5569472
>>5569525
These clip controller things any good?

>>5569826
Get a gamepad, jabroni

>>5569842
Ask Martin.

>>5569826
>>5567813
Best emu handheld coming through

>>5569946
who

>>5570015
>>5569946
Wait til Martin comes

>>5569472
took the brainlet poster to come long enough

>>5569295
Not the poster you quoted but this is the best SNES emulator PSP has right now.

https://github.com/esmjanus/snes9xTYL/releases

It plays everything except special chip stuff like Doom or Star Fox.

>>5569831
Fuck off you assblasted nintenbabby

>>5567990
all systems suck at SNES emulation because SNES emulation sucks

>>5567990
plain bullshit

almost every snes rom on my card and tried out them. just yoshi island is problematic, and no settings to work flawlessly

>>5568814
Everything works better on psvita compared to psp. You are just b*tthurt fanboy.

Great for
>NES/FDS
>Sega Genesis/CD
>CPS1/2
>Neo Geo
>GB/GBC/GBA
>SNES (exc. SFX, SA-1, C2) - Kirby Super Star, Star Fox, Mario RPG, Mega Man X2/3 etc don't run too well
>PS1 (one of the only useful things of having the composite a/v out cable)

N64 emulation kinda works with wonky frameskip settings but even then its pretty shit

>>5569223
There is actually a mod cable you can buy from a guy in Japan that let's you use a microSD instead of an M2 card.
However it is an absolute bastard to fit.

>>5570684
It's really not good at GBA or SNES emulation, but I still love mine for everything else

Vita 1000

>>5569991
i wanted to think so but the damn thing had barely any internal memory, apps wouldnt transfer to the SD card, and the andoid verison was so far behind all the good emulator apps would barely run

>>5570684
I can honestly say that I used my PSP more to play GBA games than PSP ones

Even then, the emulation was a bit lacking. Some games like Golden Sun had random crashes. SNES was really wonky too

>>5570553
>>5571436
>>5570925
The same snes games that have issues on psp have issues on vita, the ones that work are at the same level of imperfection, and as for GBA games the best option on vita is to literally go into psp mode and run the gba emulator from there so obviously it's no better

>>5569842
no, they have horrendous inpt delay,

>>5570953
buttons suck

>>5567813
phone but if you hate emulating using phones then a rasberry 3 with this

Maybe it’s just me but when I used a vita for the first time the analog sticks were absolutely atrocious. Really weak and puny. Maybe model specific?

>>5567990
psp 2000 and 3000 has the superior buttons and d-pad, but the psp go is the best portable system all around, nothing beats it's form factor and versatility

>>5573216
"analog" sucks

>>5567813
Switch in a few years. It just got a dreamcast emulator, but it's buggy as fuck right now.

>>5573746
any chance it simultaneously emulates VMU (yet)?

>>5572460
best dpad and buttons ive ever used

>>5574343
>best dpad and buttons ive ever used
this, only thing close I can remember in handhelds I've used is probably the gba sp+

I'm getting a 128GB SD card on Friday and I'm going to hack my New 3DS. Is there a good link anywhere to download every SNES game ever made in one single download?

>>5575729
search "no intro" on archive.org

>>5568971
The only people who call the Go model trash are people who never want to mod their consoles and handelds regardless of how easy and safe it is.

Switch and Vita are already mentioned, you should also consider Nvidia Shield.

>>5576818
Fuckin nice thanks man. I'll pick up some other collections too. Why the hell is the GBA library so damn large?

>>5576818
>no intro
All of their Nintendo zip files are locked now.

>>5577093
Or people who heard about Go when it was first announced and never looked at it again. It was an easy target for the hatred of internet for a while. As someone who only bought digital PSP stuff when Vita was released I always used Go with CFW and it was fantastic.

It is pretty funny how digital only stuff is so accepted now. Xbone SAD edition is a thing and it's not getting the same flack Go got. I guess one day always online and no second hand games consoles will be a thing and no one will give too much of a shit.

Now I think about it PC games are pretty much this, needs some client to check periodically and has no second had market. RIP physical PC games.

>>5569296
The only games worth playing on snes are:
SMW
Earthbound
Super Metroid

The rest are either weeb RPG trash or repetitive as fuck uninspired rehashes.
Prove me wrong.

>>5578061
Castlevania IV

>>5578061
>Earthmeme
lol
Mega Man X, F-Zero, Actraiser, etc

>>5578061
isn't earthbound a weeb rpg trash, repetitive as fuck uninspired rehash of dq

Just popping into this thread to tell you not to buy the new bittboy
-no save function, only save states
-can't press a+b+start+select all at once
-the microusb port on mine broke off the board and I had to solder it back on
-slightly wrong aspect ratio
-slightly wrong emulation speeds
-tinny treble heavy speaker
apparently there is custom software made by nerds that fixes some issues, but idk anything about that
I think the next revision of the bittboy might actually be worth buying

>>5578208
hmmmm, well what if i took a huge shit in your mouth, would that fix anything?

>>5578214
you a bittboy dev? If you are, you kind of already shit in my mouth

>>5578225
Yes actually. And I have good news! The next revision of bittboy will feature save state saving! (but no savestate loading).
