Really heartwarming to see the Vita emulation scene on such a rise lately. It's been desperately dead only until a couple of months ago, and the progress made in such a short time is insane. I'm so looking forward to further progress.
man, this video coming in CLUTCH... i literally just downloaded all the vita roms at like 500-600gb to setup on a complete retro handheld system im building out of an old SSF pc. i haven't done anything to set it up yet besides get the downloads but was going to test with it later. so this going to save a lot of time. thank you
@@milosmisic89 anyone who says the og psp was a ps2 portable clearly didn't own one was there standouts yes Tekken 5 Dr,Ridge racer,ratchet and clank and God of War got very close but those were ground up games the psp could never port something like MGS,FFX or even the original tekken 5
I don't know if it's already available since i haven't gotten home yet to download it. But i really want Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Metal Gear Solid Collection (which runs flawlessly on the vita, 60fps, high quality textures), OliOli 1 & 2, Uncharted Golden Abyss, and many others
I am so happy to see an emulator in the works! Finally I can play freedom wars on something other than the vita! This is also just such good news for those wanting to play vita games without paying the high ass prices
I hope that development does not stop and there is going to be a visually more pleasing and for small displays suitable UI for Steam Deck, Steam OS or simply Windows coming. It would be great to finally get some sort of "Vita next gen" after all these years.
I am really looking forward to seeing how this works. I hope the future for this emulator gets better as quick as RPCS3 did. I have been waiting for a good working Vita Emulator and the design is pretty good. I am impressed.
@@applepie3597 it went fairly well. I only care about 3 games on the Vita: Tales of Innocence R, Tales of Hearts R and Uncharted Golden Abyss, and so far it's been going fine, but I need to upgrade my computer to get better results.
The first time I tried Asphalt Injection I was getting the shader flickering like you did. However I tried it again and specified in settings to launch full screen (also F11) and then everything displayed perfectly.
I'd like to see on how low end/Older hardware we will be able to this emulator with. Testing on older systems in the same time-frame as the consoles release. Something like sandy bridge and a low end older graphics cards.
isnt NoNpDrm a plugin for vita? it doesnt actually dump anything does it? i have that installed on my vita and have archived my games in the app folder but they dont work in vita3k and they throw an error about NoNpDrm when trying to install them when i zip them. if/when it does work, your "legal" games copied over still dont work as their all encrypted and vita3k doesnt support them. going via the zip install method, for some reason the install fails, complaining about icons and other files being corrupt.
Just downloaded everything and got my game files. Going to be giving it a go on my 5800X/7900XTX system hopefully there's enough to emulate well. This will be my head start on getting this working until I see a handheld solution I'm confident with for setting thus up on.
No fucking way, my favorite console of all time finally gets an emulator. The best console with the worst treatment by the manufacturer of it. If Sony wasn't that cocky and made the right choices the Vita would've fought the Switch even. That console had so much power, the graphics it could output was from another world.
@@bulletpunch9317 Project has been dead for a while though. The new push for gaming handhelds in the industry plus vids like these renew the interest and make the developers actually feel appreciated. At the end of the day all these emulators are just passion projects
Biggest problem I see here is Vita3k installs your games to a different emulated storage folder thus creating 2 copies of the games and taking up double the hdd space. I dont wanna delete my original VPK Files because that messes up my whole Launchbox Games Folder not having the Vita Games in the Folder... What is the workaround here? Since the Emulator requires its Specific Vita Intallation Folder structure to run the games having the VPKs is worthless after the install is complete. You cant just point the install directory to your launchbox games folder PSVita folder because Launchbox isnt going to recognize the folder names anymore... Uhg... Guess there is not yet a logical way to have Vita represented in Launchbox.
Vita3k won't find any of my zip folders, it just says no compatible content found for 1 game (even tough i have 3 games in the directory path). Can anyone please help with that, i have been struggling with emulation these past 4 days and can't find a solution with the vita3k, rpcs3, cemu, xemu, and xenia emulators but if someone can help me with the vita3k emulator that would be a good start. I am using a Lenovo Legion Go Handheld device with Windows 11 and Emudeck/emulationstation.
I found the solution, all you need to do is to first unzip your game folder, then you need to compress all the game files into a zip folder, finally you open vita3k, click on file, install with zip, go to the games folder where the new compressed zip file is, and then it should install the game. This trick worked for me, i still need to test with pkg files to see how i can get the emulator to install them. Also vita3k still won't show up in my emulationstation but that's just a minor inconvenience.
@@im_tem right. You don't need to extract special files from your Vita and put try to put them on your computer. Doing that has always been such a pain in the butt.
every time i try and play a game, the d pad works, but none of the other buttons do so I can't start the game. It says the game I want (Shiro to Kuro no Alice/White and Black Alice) is playable so idk why its happening...
(Sorry for bad grammar,english isnt my mother tongue) Hey Sir Can you tell me why i am not able to boot the game PCSE00120 Persona 4 Golden Its says it is playable but when i click on start It loads and after soem tiem it says on teh log "failed to read module file- sys/external/LibSceFt2" Can you tell me what to do Please I checked on google and it says install a firmware But when i click on download It doesnt downlaod
I have a question where do the games get stored in the emulator like what folder cuz I want to point one of my gaming front ends to the games folder or where they get installed to
How would u play games that use on screen buttons like black ops declassified the knife button and grenades are on the screen do u just have to point the mouse and click on them while using a controller
so i got the emulator to run fine but the rom section area is where im getting confused as F, i downloaded a game but its not running or installing correctly
man from what site you downloaded cause i keep on trying to run a ps vita game with vita3k but no luck i don't know how to install it fast like you help me please
Make me to check my PS Vita lol Ninja Gaiden and Spiderman was my favorites but always hated how hard is listen to music and videos on PSVita and Adrenaline is fire but still hard to using as a multimedia console. On my original PSP (RIP) I watched all Death Note and a lot of movies while traveling. USB cable and done, PSVita needs to be pirated, Vita Shell and Filezilla lol.
I play Shinobido 2, but after "loading" and the Banda Namco logo appears, the emulator doesn't respond, and only a dark screen appears. Can you help me?
Followed the steps installed firmware and such but now when I try to open the exe it flashes on screen then closes. It only allows me to open it and works in "Admin". the Command propmt screen however warns "Please do not open Vita3k in Admin or with Admin Privalages" I disabled my AV to see if that was the cause and that's not causing it to not open. It's weird. Using win10 Any help? Edit: I deleted and reinstalled it on the C:drive and this time kept the path "default" seems to be working now. Ill just use the "D" drive to store the games rather than the . exe

@After Brunch there's a torrent with ~580GB worth of roms
.
There is one that is about 580 gb in size and have 376 games, is that most complete?
@@MNNMMNNMMNNM email it to me? It's my username @ gmail
Most games aren't going to run anyway so it's a waste a storage to get more than 20 roms because most games have ports.
The vita could have been a portable PS2 if Sony didn't messed it up and give up on it which is such a great shame.
Yeah, this was one of my favs for sure when it first dropped
We already had a portable ps2 man - it's called a PSP
@@milosmisic89 for sure the psp was the portable ps2 and the vita was the portable ps3
@@milosmisic89 anyone who says the og psp was a ps2 portable clearly didn't own one was there standouts yes Tekken 5 Dr,Ridge racer,ratchet and clank and God of War got very close but those were ground up games the psp could never port something like MGS,FFX or even the original tekken 5
It's possible they could bring it back if enough people start getting on handhelds playstation could have the most powerful handheld
I have been watching this emulator for years, nice to see it finally booting games, hats off to the developers!
What games are looking forward to becoming compatible with the Vita3K Emulator?
Soul sacrifice delta
Killzone mercenaries
Silent hill book of memories
Uncharted golden abyss can't wait for that one!! Thx for the video wondering how it was all setup!
Secret of mana remaster was pretty great when I played it
Just the dozen or so exclusives left 😂
I don't know if it's already available since i haven't gotten home yet to download it. But i really want Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Metal Gear Solid Collection (which runs flawlessly on the vita, 60fps, high quality textures), OliOli 1 & 2, Uncharted Golden Abyss, and many others

Agreed

It's always cool to watch early emulators advance. I'll watch this one.
I want to see Uncharted: Golden Abyss running on Vita3K, it's the game that interests me
It's gotten to the title screen recently
@@SRC267 I can't wait for this game to be playable on the emulator

Never been this early for a eta video
Awesome help as always. You are the man. Thanks.
Google dumps my games
I can't get any of them to work can you help me please
@@Dario5B I don't where you get your from, but I use - psvitavpk page.
I sold my hacked vita a long time ago. But luckily I kept all my roms.
Thank you so much man, NICE EXPLANATION 🤗

And?

Appreciate your videos. Thanks.
im coming back to this now that i know soul sacrifice delta is fully playable. dumping the rom took a bit of headscratching, but i think it worked!
Killzone Mercenary would be cool to play on PC, I'm sad the servers are shutting down
Haters cannot criticize magnanimous community service from ETA. Thank you, Prime 👍!
Runs amazing on my pc I have an NVIDIA RTX 4070, ran Dynasty warriors to test it with no problems.
is there a motion control support for the vita games such as gravity rush? it could be great

0:42 - Ryu's Hadouken doesn't even render. Essentially a game-breaking bug.
Wipeout 2048 ?😍🤤
Well, Vita is at least going to be preserved.
Thnx Will give it a try
What exclusives did vita have that were worth playing?
I love that this is a thing and I hope they get online/local multi-player to work online.
awesome stuff
Waiting for the android release soon just like skyline emu.
NPS Browser is the best way for roms in my opinion
Thanks brother 😁

Does Emulator able to run 4k upscale ? and what about rest of games are they all playable ?
thx so much When I did this alone I failed horribly

the vita was an amazing system, so underrated, and it's a shame that sony literally abandoned it, it was so good.
You have any idea if antiviruses have problems with this platform?
I may have missed it, but can you run these games at higher than Vita resolution?
Edit: ok, I see that you can
I have been trying to get this working But it doesn't work at all for me. It just says Error Code Execution and idk why Please Help me.
This is LOONNGG over do, the vita should have had a fully working emulator years ago, glad they’re pushing this project ahead full force.
i hope there is a back and front touch controller for this emulator
Yeah so a large inventory of games to play XD
Vita3k won't find any of my zip folders, it just says no compatible content found for 1 game (even tough i have 3 games in the directory path).

Vita exclusive?
@@SRC267 yes
This is amazing now i just need lauchBox integration
Awesome, Ty
I liked the Vita when I had one, so this'll be really cool. Better than shelling out another few hundred to get a good-quality one
no way Gavity rush PC port is here guys
Does this emulator run perfectly the games?It´s possible to install game updates and play DLC?
oooo man i can't wait for them to perfect this emulator like PPSSPP with Fastforwarding and everyyyyyyything
Can you do a video for launching vita3k from big box/launchbox?
Amazing! I'd given up hope!
quick question - How do I exit a game to go back to the Vita emulator menu?
alt + f4
I jailbroke my vita and now all my buttons wont respond so its pretty much dead
I'm surprised there's no extra stuff you need. Like a bios file or something. It's a pretty easy setup!
well, you technically do install the firmware but its easily available from sony's website
@@im_tem right. You don't need to extract special files from your Vita and put try to put them on your computer. Doing that has always been such a pain in the butt.
This is so cool, i always wanted a ps vita, i love this. One wuestion, how do i set this up in LaunchBox? Just aet it up like normal?

Hey Sir
Can you tell me why i am not able to boot the game PCSE00120

It doesnt downlaod
it doesn't run on my laptop :( guess mine is too shitty to run it
Finally, Dragon's Crown here we fucken go
Too bad my laptop can only run games on 13fps😅. But its great that we now have a vita emulator that is running. Now ill go back to my vita.
I can’t get the install firmware to open. Is there a way to manually install these files update and font to where they go
Yes same I can't open the file it says that I need to install an app Idk what it uses
I have a question where do the games get stored in the emulator like what folder cuz I want to point one of my gaming front ends to the games folder or where they get installed to
Where I can download the game?!!
Lovely Jubbly 😉
All we need now is some online multiplayer functionality.
How would u play games that use on screen buttons like black ops declassified the knife button and grenades are on the screen do u just have to point the mouse and click on them while using a controller
so i got the emulator to run fine but the rom section area is where im getting confused as F, i downloaded a game but its not running or installing correctly
i have very good luck with 3rd super robot wars with just disable surface sync. it runs at constant 60fps
Be amazing if vita3k had a smooth andriod port.
Indeed on the AYA Neo Air Pro....🤓
Are Vita roms encrypted? Or is that what NoNPDRM means?
I installed this emulator but i dont really know what games to get
for now I only installed FIFA 14, Mortal Kombat 9 and Supremacy MMA
Wich site are you using to download the games?
Very sad Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 doesnt seem to run well on it, had missing textures right away :(
man from what site you downloaded cause i keep on trying to run a ps vita game with vita3k but no luck
i don't know how to install it fast like you
help me please
Could you play games that require touchscreen? Like Teraway or Resistance: Burning Skies?
If the game is bootable and playable yes you can use a mouse for touchscreen
Is it necessary to also copy the license from my psvita to play the games?
I'm still waiting for soul sacrifice delta to be fully playable
