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

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

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.

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

I love my modded Vita. It's a perfect little handheld emulation machine.

Wait till you see what the mod scene has done with it

Please someone tell me you remember SOMA and it being an incredible game?

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

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 love the Vita! It just feels so right in the hand, and the clicky d-pad/face buttons are the best. I like it so much that around a year ago I ported one of my favorite indie games to 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...).

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.

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.

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

imho ruined by its memory card. If it was with a real memory standard, it could be used to watch media on the go. (it can play media, right? Or it's strictly for gaming?)

I was in college at the time and I regret not buying it. It was not that popular in my neck of the woods

Praise be the Vita. It's name means life and so it will live in our hearts forever.

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.

I remember playing Lego games on one of these when I was younger. Absolutely legendary console

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.

It's the one device where it's a joy to use the dpad. After using it I'm still trying to find one that comes close to how good the dpad functions.

I STILL want one of these so bad. Wish they weren't so expensive as I just cannot justify spending so much on such an outdated piece of tech :(

Sold mine earlier this year because I needed the money for rent. I loved that thing, I miss it all the time. It was my Persona and SMT machine, so many hours...

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

Should I buy a PS Vita, or a PSP? Thinking about getting another retro console and I'm not sure which one to get.

Timeless design

Its all about that PSP-1000. Still working fine to this day!
