ps vita just got jailbroken or something

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/08/ps-vita-henkaku-homebrew-emulators/

time to buy one i guess.

>vomit tier display, analog stick (only one of them, mind you)
>MUCH less powerful than n3ds, which is even easier to develop for

>>55908520
The 3DS didn't even exist when the PSP was around, and the DS was dogshit compared to the PSP.

Also MIPS master race.

>>55908510
I'd give it a few months. They're pretty much the same emulators than the PSP. We're yet to see emulators that actually take advantage of the PSVita's performance.

Was told that the homebrew scene took off after I gave my PSP to my cousin. I got hold of a PSP Go, tried it, and it still sucked.
>Only emulators that worked right were NES and Sony-made PS1

>>55907462
>>good battery life
lol

>>55908376
It is playable. You just need to unlock 64MB RAM mod from your CFW menu.
>>55908510
Yep. Looks like it. Games are proven to be moddable.
>>55908520
You are talking about 1K's and 2K's screen. 3K's screen is alright except lines problem. GO and Street's are perfect. Also, PSP is still superior in some specs even if it's 6-7 years older.
>>55908663
NoUMD, not using the brightness like you are angel or some shit, earphones (speakers suck). 1800mAh battery is going 8-10 hours for me when vidya.

>>55909501
Yes. My laptop is too shit to emulate it properly so i might as well just buy a PSP.

SNES is fine if you have a 2000 or newer, but that's not to say there aren't a lot of issues, and some games will require you switching between video modes to get full speed without compromises (looking at you, Chrono Trigger)

>>55909602
N64 is fine on my 1000 as long as I stick to popular titles like super mario, I don't see how it struggles with SNES at all. Haven't tried snes yet though...

>people actually play video games

are you like 15 or something? surely you can be doing something more productive

>>55909612
SNES used some special chips in some games. (Super FX chip) to enhance (scaling effect, far/close effect etcetera) the game without extension hardware like Genesis. Emulating it is hard.

>>55909620
I code some side projects on PSP when I have nothing to do. Cool for learning Python and C.

>>55909612
2D systems need pixel-perfect emulation, more or less, and it's extremely difficult to offload a lot of those types of graphics calculations to the GPU, and when you can, it's generally for negligible performance gains.

>>55909645
>>55909636
I see.
Thanks

>>55907462
PS Vita is on the rise also, considering HENkaku was released.
Almost as easy to make homebrew for!

I'm currently making homebrew for 3ds though. Started a big project before HENkaku was announced.

>>55909964
PSP was released at the right time though, most psp and vita functions can be done on a smartphone now.

Plus Vita had a fucked up launch and it's taken this long just to build up a basic softmod that you'll lose on rebooting.

>>55910001
Fuck telephones. They are for casuals. Literally. Even the reddit fucks accept this. And, the exploit is just 4 days old for fucks sake calm down. There was Rejevunate before this but people didn't bother as it was hard to install.

>>55910001
Yep. The Vita launch was a fail.
It was also way ahead of its time according to some people.

>>55910024
>>55910024
It was ahead of it's time considering product launches are getting shittier and shittier by day and we will literally have the product + 20 DLCs to unlock playing games or sth in 20 years?

The exploit. HENkaku. Not the Vita. Vita is dead by now and considered legacy hardware by Sony.

>>55910084
That's my point.

It took them 5 years for a mod you'll lose every time you reboot.
This is why smartphones are superior.

This board requires you to be at least 18 years old or older.

Enjoy carrying a second bulky device with shit tier Battery life with you along with your phone :')

>>55910149
But it is okay when you carry your battery pack with you? I don't get it.

>>55908510
so i can buy a vita tv and play that poopsona 4 the golden undub now?

I'd rather do some dev on 3DS though. Two screens and all the other bells and whistles you get leaves a lot of room to have fun with something interesting. And you can build packages that can be installed on home screen or ones that anyone on any firmware can launch from homebrew menu.

No

>>55907462
>comfortable to hold.

If you don't need the analog stick maybe.

Other than that, I wouldn't really say it's a forgotten system, the homebrew scene is still active, you can still find CFW updated to the latest versions, and considering it's been obsolete for, what? 5 years now? I'd say it still gets more support than the Vita, which admitelly had a bit to do with the slow down of the PSP scene.

Also the advent of smarthphones, the 3DS, and Linux/Windows devices.

Niggas, fucking Raspberry Pi has no problem with running emulators. What a shame.

>>55910534
I have a Pi 3. Cool device for emulating, but a pain in the ass to make it portable while getting a decent battery life.

>>55910545
Playing games on the go is degenerate as fuck. Don't do that.

>>55910534
Pi 3 came out last year, psp came out 12 years ago.

I wonder why a device powered from the AC outlet on your wall and released last year performs better than a handheld device released 13 years ago.

>>55910633
Soo..why buy shit when you can get something better for less money?

>>55910671
I don't understand your question, who ITT is saying anyone should buy one?

>>55910671
>psp 1000/2000/3000 costs you £30 on ebay, has plenty of input devices already on it, all one package, all you need is a charger and micro sd card to memorystick, is portable
>raspberry pi 3 costs £30, also need charger, HDMI cable, keyboard, mouse, monitor, most likely a usb hub, micro sd card, must be plugged into wall at all times and you're going to run down another £200 if you're trying to make it portable
yeah, pi really is a viable option for portable emulation right?

>>55907462
>>pretty much perfect emulation for every console until PS2 era

That's fucking bullshit. The only thing it emulates well is 3rd gen and lower.

PS1 isn't emulation.

Also, the PSP library sucks. Only good game is monhun.

There's no reason to have one over a 3DS or even an Android device.

I'd like emulation with physical buttons and not the shit you got with android smartphones

>>55911828
op is retarded they're p shitty for most emulation

>>55911828
not retarded at all, i bought a 1000 recently even though i have a 2000 and a go, i don't regret it, they are the best portable devices for emulation and homebrews

Oh. The golden era of gaming with friends. I still remember going to a friends house and spending the entire day with 30 other friends playing syphon filter or resistance and sacking each other across the face when we got killed

There are a ton of good games, I've spent hours going for 100% completion on psp games because they just were great.
Shame on you not counting god of war as a good game.

>no reason to have one over a 3DS or even an android
My gf has both, she loves Nintendo and has a GameCube, Wii and Wii U too. I took my PSP loaded with games one time and she wouldn't give it back.
>she even loved oreimo portable
Come on anon, don't you wish you could play oreimo with a qt grill in bed all night?

Still own a 1000. Love watching anime/movies while I'm on the road. While downclocked, it works for 9 hours on a battery that is 7 years old. A shame that I didn't change stick and a front plate after all that time...

>>55909453
10 years. The O3DS is roughly similar performance-wise.

>>55912055
Because my phone's battery is almost dead after 1 year of usage even without frequently playing any sort of games. It holds for like 6 hours or so. I actually never re-encoded stuff for PSP because I can just simply download it from rutracker (I'm russian). The reason I downclock it is that it could work longer, obviously.

>>55912079
Works smooth for me, did you use the latest emulator?

>>55912179
yeah, latest gpsp kai

>>55912039
There aren't many, oreimo and toradora are the only ones I know that are fully translated, amagami has a day 1 patch but it seems its nearing completion so maybe a full patch will be out in a few months. There may be one or two others I missed but the list isn't very long.

vndbs is your best bet for checking out psp (or any system) VNs and if they have a translation. Other than that http://nicoblog.org/language/english-patched/ is good to sift through.

Btw, the o3DS actually can run SNES and Genesis games at full speed without frameskipping. MHz aren't everything.

>>55912316
Not the same guy but they do run just fine, almost every game I've put on those emulators runs without problems. Particularly the genesis, pico is so fucking good and I even tried Sega CD titles.

>>55912362
you're straight lying you retard, you can barely emulate mario 64 at a half decent frame rate with no audio

>>55912370
Ocarina of time runs at full speed for the most part. Its not perfect but it doesn't rain dropped frames either so I'm not lying. SNES literally has no problems either. I'd like to know what kind of emulators you put on your psp m8

I never said otherwise.

>>55912370
Mario 64 can play at a fine framerate, and audio's not necessary. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to have, but by no means necessary. Nice cherrypicking by the way.

>>55907462
>Why are these beauties are forgotten, /g/ ?
Piracy killed them.

PSP homebrew is not as good as you make it out to be. It's time to take off those rose-tinted glasses.

In fact, it's pretty terrible. Both Picodrive and that SNES9x PSP version are horrible. Picodrive is a very, very poorly optimized version of the GP2X original and it was left for dead quickly by notaz who was very candid about not liking the PSP at all compared to GP2X, while SNES9x Euphoria is a pretty disastrous hacked version of SNES9x with all sorts of graphics regressions.

Vita is really a bit of a letdown considering the low underclocked clockspeed, but it's still Cortex A9 ARM, and that means that it's easy as hell to port ARM-optimized code to it, which goes a long way, while with PSP you are stuck with a weird gimped MIPS CPU and all sorts of esoteric stuff which ultimately results in a lot of time being wasted on getting any kind of decent performance out of it, and in the end (just like PS3) you still have little to show for all your effort anyway.

PSP has shit hardware and Vita was just hacked, so it's time to let it go.

>>55913379
>Only russian hardsubs / shitty russian dubs
I thought PSP can't play files with resolution bigger than it's screen?

>>55913412
There's a section for videos which are converted into PSP's 480x272 resolution and they are harddubbed/hardsubbed (obviously).

The PSP 1000 was pretty great. It was like a smartphone with controls back when there weren't any. I even had a infrared keyboard to work with it.

>>55909620
It's just a fun thing to do in your free time. No different than music or TV.

>>55908491
It's an ancient version with terrible audio emulation that is hacked up badly but still isn't fullspeed (try running with frameskip disabled and tell me the audio does not crackle). It is not acceptable to anyone who wants emulation quality that meets even ZSNES standards.

I had and have lots of fun with my PSP still. The majority of the emulators run fullspeed for a big selection of the games on that plattform.
N64 emulation itself is a monumental achievement even if it's not really usable outside of a couple of games. Mario 64 for example runs really well and looks nice on the psp screen.

Not to forget the awesome PSP games library which ate quite a bit of my time and I still have a big backlog.

The only thing which sucks is that I have a drifting analog nub.

>>55912709

>>55914931
jrpgs run better tho, f-zero is a racing game reliant on mode 7.
What makes you think jrpgs stressed a system?

AFAIK there are 5 revisions of PSP, 1000 aka FAT, 2000, 3000, Go and Street. Which one is the best to buy now?
Also, how do the controls compare to dual shock?

>>55915079

>>55915128
>PSX games when PSP lacks L2, L3, R2, R3 and second analog?
PSX never used those.

>>55915140
Huh? Crash Bandicoot Warped uses L2 and R2 for example.

>>55911949
None at all
Also yes it is a screen protector. Same day I got the psp I put it on.

>>55915159
there are preset controller layouts that you can choose from, for example left/right buttons emulate l2/r2 and analog stick emulates the directional buttons instead

>>55915128
You can set up the joystick to work as L2/R2. There are a few options for how it's laid out.

I don't think you can play games that required a dualshock, though I could be wrong.

>>55915159
I remember there were button combinations? I mean, you could already play ps1 games off the ps store.
Also, I don't remember having any issues with snes emulation. It's been a long time but I used to play super Mario world on snesx9 or something and never had any frame rate problems. Don't recall playing much else but maybe I played the ones that were good?

>>55914972
That's the point, 47 would only be bad if it was a jrpg

>>pretty much perfect emulation for every console until PS2 era

Except that it isnt, N64 games are just unplayable.
I agree with the rest tho, the PSP was the best portable console ever made.. so sad they killed it with the Vita, if they let 3rd party devs create homebrews for it without installing CFW/HBL it would have been as succesful as the PSP.

>>good battery life
Nigga, are you DRUNK?
The PSP had horrific battery life. Not only with actual use, but when its in standby as well.. And even when its 100% shut off, the battery *STILL* manages to fucking run dry in around a month.

I had a PSP2000 and a DSlite. I put the DSlite away years ago. I updated my PSP2000 with some new game(3rd birthday. Its awful like most PSP games) last month. I went to play the PSP and the battery was dead, even though it was charged to 100%(and turned completly off) last month. The DSlite? booted up fine.

I dont know what fucking trickery sony used when making those batteries, but its like they're in debt to some other dimension since they always seem to be draining... And no, this was not an abused, over-used battery either. I swapped my PSP for a brand-new god of war version when my target was clearing them out, and that was when the big glut of no-gaemz happened, so that battery literally had maybe 10 cycles put on it.

>>55916430
So, you charged your PSP and didnt use it for 1 month, then you complain about your batter being dead?

Sorry, theres no such a thing as a "retard-proof owner" device

>>55915254
Nope, no dual shock(ape escape :( )

Its kinda useless for action games. MGS is *kinda* playable but its painful... Still a better experience than Twin Snakes(or even MGS3 on the 3ds)

You have to reinstall every time on PSP too unless you have a 1000 or a rare early 2000

Same with psvita now.

What made psp so good was how exploitable it is, although after buying one all i used it for was project diva and stopped. It didnt have many games on it

>>55916651
Unless it changed since the last time I messed with it, but I doubt it even though it's been years.

>>55916477
so its unreasonable to expect something you charged 30 days ago, and then powered down completely, to still work? Odd, cause my ereader, laptop, DSlite, backup-cell phone, etc... can all do that fine. My digital camera that i have not touched in over a year just powered on fine(just tested now)

>>55916590
I'm pretty sure you can install CFW on all PSP's now... But then i bought the PSP2000, so i'm not 100% sure.

If the thing lasted a reasonable time in standby

It would be less of an issue.

>>55916811

>>55907462
>Why are these beauties are forgotten, /g/ ?

Because the screen is shit, I can emulate PSP and every console up until PS2 on my phone and tablet while using a gamepad and/or my Xbox 360 with USB OTG, so why would I use my old shitty PSP?

Fuck it. Where do I buy one?

>>55916932
PSP 3000 screen is pretty decent yo

>I can emulate PSP and every console up until PS2 on my phone and tablet while using a gamepad and/or my Xbox 360 with USB OTG

Ikr? why would people want something lighter and with a better battery life? i mean, you could as well just carry every single console with you + a portable screen and a PSU if you want.

>>55913485
Just encode them yourself with ffmpeg. IIRC it's something like ffmpeg -i chinese_cartoon.mkv -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -level 1.0 -vf "scale=-1:272,subtitles=chinese_cartoon.mkv" pspvid.mp4

>>55917224
Uh, my phone is lighter than my PSP 2000 and actually has a screen that's bigger than my flaccid dick. And who cares if it's lighter or not if you still have to carry two devices for something that one device can handle just fine?

>>55917287
>scale=-1:272
That wouldn't work for anything 16:9 or wider

>>55914972
F-zero runs 60fps on the original console, every F-Zero has ran 60fps

>>55914972
The point is that it doesn't matter if something turn based runs at lower fps, but Nintendo has always gone to extremes to ensure F-Zero games run at 60fps.

Using frameskip in any action game is shitty as fuck, but doing it to F-Zero is sacrilege.

>>55917514
Change it to scale=480:-1 then. Ideally you set the whole mess up as a script that determined aspect ratio or something. I'm too lazy to think it through right now.

OK, I'm late but SNES emulation is probably better than you remember/realize you're just using outdated stuff

https://github.com/173210/snes9xTYL/releases

Still has issues but MOST games are playable at 60fps or near, some might need overclocking/fixes, and of course some just cant be fixed. N64 is a shit show, and of course anything after is out of question.

Don't feel like making a new thread so here goes. I've found a very old disassembled PS2 without screws, assembled whatever fits and so far everything is flawless. Turned it on, everything works, no problems on screen whatsoever. Question is will it work without any problems without disc drive? I'm planning to Free McBoot that thing but I'm worried of something going haywire such as short circuit or whatever with cables or whatever exposed.

>>55918530
are you saying you don't have a dvd drive or plan on removing it? because you need it to install free mcboot. if its the latter why remove it?

>>55918569
I have a dvd drive and I've tried to plug it in but it's very difficult, you need to be an ant with a power of million Sambos holy hell how did they manage to do it at the factory. Regarding Free McBoot, apparently you only need a memory card and an usb drive to soft mod it.

Better off buying a SHIELD, it's bulky but the battery is pretty immense and powerful enough to emulate basically everything, including Snes under higan/bsnes (a.k.a. more or less perfect emulation)

>>55918632
>Regarding Free McBoot, apparently you only need a memory card and an usb drive to soft mod it

Nope, you need a specific game with and exploit and the ability to swap discs and launch a custom uLaunch.ELF that can then be used to install freemcboot. Most people use 007: Agent Under Fire. Only other option is to use another PS2 to install freemcboot on a mem card or buy one online with it already installed.

Going to do that, thanks mate. Time for some old vidya

I have a PSP Street and it still works just fine. I'm not getting amazing battery life (3-5 hours), but I'm mostly emulating GBA, SNES and PSX games, so I guess that's a given.

I'm kind of sad how much larger the DS homebrew scene was, the PSP had so much more potential.

Nothing wrong with spending time on 4chan.

>>55918750

Check amazon or ebay. Also, since you have a fat ps2 you can get an ide drive and play games off of that, or get the network adapter, use opl, and stream them over your network. usb loading is ok, but the ps2 is only usb 1.1 so cinematics lag and it doesnt have as good compatibility as hard drive/network streaming.

>>55918799

Really? Because I would argue it's even less constructive then anime or games. Unless of course your goal is becoming as bitter and jaded as possible because in that case you have succeeded.

Well, you're going to need OPL. It might be included already but if it isn't you're going to have to install it. It's not extremely difficult, but you're going to have to do some reading and research as far as setting it up, I have a slim myself and usually just burn games or run off of usb do I can't speak firsthand. This site will be your friend

http://psx-scene.com/forums/official-free-mc-boot-forums/

You might want to install the latest "noobie package" for free mcboot once you install it from the memory card you get just make sure it's the one for the fat ps2.

>>55918922

There's no need, you have already impressed me

>>55918889
You need the network adaptor (it's also the ide adaptor) to plug it in.

>>55918829
And if I have the slime PS2?

>>55919064

Then you can use usb loading or dvd backups

>>55919099
>dvd backups
But I thought the PS2 DVDs are encrypted?

>>55919137

That's why you install free mcboot and get ESR loader. Then all you need to do is patch the iso and you're good to go.

>>55919003
>>55919024
So that's how it is. Thanks again

3DS is actually barely faster than the PSP, mostly in terms of having more modern 3D hardware. In terms of CPU, the PSP is competitive.

>>55912709
are you playing the PAL version

>>55916430
the fuck?

shit, I've had PSPs left in standby for a month with enough charge to listen to a few songs before the battery died
unless you didn't actually turn the PSP off completely, it shouldn't drain out like that

like, in action, battery life is kind of meh (4-6 hours gameplay at 333MHz playing Ridge Racer and Project Diva)
but the thing keeps battery like a champ in standby
and with hold.prx, I can listen to music literally all day

>>55912316
Genesis is fine. Other than PicoDrive not doing VDP shadowing properly ("transparency" effects in a tiny handful of games), it runs full speed and emulates pretty accurately.

sound emulation isn't ideal, but pretty much only Genesis Plus GX and Kega Fusion have good Genesis sound emulation

I love my PSP. I got a 32gb memory stick and did the custom firmware mod and loaded it up with a ton of emulators, ps1 eboots, and PSP games.

Too bad I've been using it as an mp3 player more than anything recently.

If it's anything like the 3000's temporary CFW, you just turn it on, run the exploit, and you're good. Takes 10 seconds at most.

Are you fucking high?

ive still got my original psp fat lying around, still works fine, still on custom firmware (although its probably waaaay outdated by now, last time i updated the firmware was around 4 years ago)

Can someone explain how the CFW works?
Why fast recovery work after you run the Pro-C first?

>>55921551
From my memory of when I did it years ago:
You run the main CFW program once to change system files and put some shit in mem. Every time you do a cold boot (turn it completely off and back on again), you run the fast recovery to put some shit back into mem, but not change system files.

Someone wants to sell me a second hand PSP 3000 for 79 Dollars. I don't know if it has any scratches and stuff, but I suppose it is in good condition. Is it worth the price?

Maybe with 3D games but with twitchy games like Mega Man it sure as hell isn't.
This was on a PSP 3000 about 3 years ago. I have a Go now and if It's gotten any better, please, enlighten me.

They're forgotten for the lack of two joysticks and the graphical power of an Etch a Sketch. Sure they're fun to crack, but way too many people overprice them even nowadays. Game files can be hard to come by, and lack of storage is a bitch when you find yourself frothing at the mouth for a SDHC card.

As someone who's fucked with them desu they're only fun if you plan on making or running homebrew. The games only get so good with one joystick, not to mention the rechargeable batteries have the endurance of a neckbeard in bed (or anything physical).

I already have a Vita for the weeb games. This is pretty exciting hopefully it does drive up sales and cause something good for the vita.

I have a PSP 1000 laying around, but jesus fucking christ that screen (the outer plastic faceplate, not the LCD itself) attracts scratches and dents just sitting there. It's not just mine either, I know plenty of people with the same issue. I've gotten two "new" replacements from China (the second free because the first showed up fucking trashed) and they arrived scratched and dented - I guess this is a given considering rough handling of international shipping, but still.

>>55926640
Not likely. Vita's mostly dead in NA. All of the piracy that's going to happen if this vita mod gets better is that it's going to increase sales here in NA. (Probably only very slightly)

This isn't going to affect the Japanese market at all. (Which is probably the only market the Sony/Vita team care about any more) Piracy is a super big crime over there and is taken very seriously. Their media market is absolutely nothing like ours for that very reason.

>>55934509

depends on the emulator you're using

you have to fiddle with speedhacks and various rendering modes a lot

Also it works better when it's not running on a 1000 PSP. Extra RAM means you can use the ME to offload some tasks like audio emulation.

>>55916545
The psp has a crazy standby battery life in sleep mode and I almost never power it down.
Hacked psp is probably the best handheld gaming device at the moment.
I look forward to when the vita gets emulators that take advantage of its huge power boost over the psp.

The Vita will likely surpass it now that HENkaku is a thing.

Once a proper ePSP kexploit happens, I think I'm going to retire my PSP.

Who cares about a law suit. It's out there, and the PS Vita is considered a legacy console by Sony. They don't really give a shit about it at this point.

Unfortunately really the only new emulator that this could give us access to is a Dreamcast emulator, MAME too, but that's already pretty fucking awesome, we also finally have the capability for a full speed N64 and DS emulator, so I'm pretty hyped.

>PSP library sucks

Is that a fucking joke? PSP and PS2 had the best libraries of all handheld gens/console gens respectively. I get it, this place hates on Sony for fun, but denial is denial.

Daedalus64 was a technical marvel but also fucking worthless, I'll be happy to have a useful N64 emulator on a handheld.
