I appreciate you just watching the video! I understand its not for everyone, tho I will say that just buying the 1000 cradle/2000 dock and using the OBS method is still pretty cool and is far more simple as you only need the dock and the USB cable. No Raspberry Pi required! And I'm glad it was easy to understand as it was a huge concern for me while making this video, so thanks! ☺
I really wanted someone like this and i had done something similar with an android app but it wasn't as seamless. Thanks so much for this detailed explanation. This will definitely be cheaper then getting a pstv.
First time watcher of your channel and an avid Vita fan here. I'm not going to do this project for the simple fact that I had gotten a PSTV when they first came out. And then I passed on getting a second/third when they went to clearance and fire sale prices. A decision which I still regret to this day. Cuz if my modded PSTV ever dies, I will too. I certainly wish that Sony had done this switch style update to their handheld themselves, but as usual, we had to wait for fans and modders to step up and do it. Sony woulda probably fucked it up anyways (like they did with the PSTV's launch and inexplicable "incompatabilities" of certain games that don't use touch or camera or tilt gimmicks). Excellent video. Step by step process was very clear. Your audio was good. Music choices were on point (though that's subjective, someone out ther might not like Toby Fox's Another Medium or remixed Wii Shop Channel Music, but that's their problem). Great job!
first off , the guild was absolutely easy to follow and well made , even though i use the OBS method i watched tell the end just to see the outcome and 2nd thing i thought they shut down phantasy star and you couldn't play it yet here you are doing just that ! i would love to know how to play it too
I have a steam deck so this would be pretty much pointless for me, but I think something like this existing is really important because it's just yet another way for us to get use out of our ps vita after sony has stopped supporting it, plus if it's your only handheld gaming device then docking it could still be useful for certain games
Still have my original white one from launch i swapped the face buttons with black and left the white PS button looks awesome, and I still have the same dock, I use OBS for full screen, but if you don't have a pc this is one good way to get it on a screen and good on you doing the mod. Yes the mod is worth doing and especially when you connect a ps4 controller.
This is a good thing indeed. I’m not going to make one myself as I already own several Vita TV’s so seems unnecessary but if I didn’t already then would very interested indeed
Maybe will build at some point just to learn about stuff like this; will mostly likely stick to stuff that connects to the PC like my 3DS does (through arctic base)
Hey that's OK too! I understand that the build is a little much for some. Its definitely worth learning but connecting to a PC is so much easier. Thanks for watching! 😃
Honestly crazy this just came out. I was just lookin at Vita stuff and wondering if anyone had finally made a tv out mod for a vita. Pretty awesome honestly. Just had gotten a boxed pstv for $40 though 😂 so not too much of a point for me but man I still am tempted to build one
Yea! Etika was my all time favorite UA-camr, I watched all his videos and streams back in the day! And thanks, If I knew how to 3D print I would have loved to make an actual Nintendo switch dock lookalike for the Vita 😅 You should definitely do it!
Great Video! Thanks for this tutorial! I really wanted to play my vita on the tv a while back since playing on the vita for extended period time was causing me discomfort in my hands and eyes, after a lot of searching online I went the obs route which connected my vita to my pc to my tv and a wireless controller, that introduced some lag and wasn't feasible for long. I read about the R.pi route but seemed very complex. Now i see how straightforward it is, I'll definitely do this in the future once I gather the required supplies for this project. Definitely saving this video and will be following your channel for more (I already subscribed through the reddit post haha). Also the sound of the video is completely fine on my device, even at low volumes its very much audible, dunno what the other commenter is talking about. Thanks again for this :D
Well first off thank you for subscribing, it really means a lot to me! And I'm glad you found the video easy to understand, as while editing, I was nervous that it would still look complicated. Its a fun weekend project that doesn't take too long, so hopefully you can try it out soon! And thanks for informing me on the sound, I listened to the video on multiple devices to make sure the sound was just right, so it sounds like it might not be on my part. However, I'll still increase the volume a bit more on future videos. Thanks :)
From what I noticed its either non-existent or so small you'd never be able to notice it. If you have a PC and OBS you can connect it that way and test for yourself. I'm using a Dualshock 4 over Bluetooth and audio over Bluetooth and haven't noticed any lag yet.
there's a much, much better way to do all this, only requiring to plug your vita into your computer and using the same plugins he mentioned... you can even pull up your vita screen in VLC/MPC. If memory serves, the plugin even has a configuration to allow higher resolution output (through an ingame menu no less, via a button combination). I used it while playing the PSPo 2 Infinite and Phantasy Star Nova.
I didn't have an upscaler at the time I made this video, But I do believe MetalJesusRocks made a video about the PSTV and upscaling using an MClassic. I'll still keep your suggestion in mind for future video's tho! Thanks! 😀
Demanding games have a half second lag at times even a second or 2 and less demanding games are half second to small stutterings but not an issue as most games already have a slight lag on vita you fix this with a bit of over clocking.
Thanks for the sub! I truly appreciate it! Glad to hear people willing to give it a try as its not complicated and only takes maybe an hour or 2 at the most! Definitely perfect for a Friday night or weekend project. Thanks! 😁
You don't have to buy the cradle. As stated in the video, your charging cable and the Micro USB OTG cable are more then enough. The cradle/dock just makes it look better.
The psp had video out. The GameCube had a gameboy advance attachment and the Super Nintendo had the super gameboy. For as long as handheld game consoles have existed there has been ways to play those games on the tv. That wasn’t the innovation with the switch the innovation with the switch was being able to play home console games on the go if you wanted. In that aspect the steam deck fulfills That niche a bit better
ayy ive seen these before but didnt know it was so ez to get it running. I have all the prerequisites except an extra rasp. pi and an adapter so might have to do. How did the zero 2 w work? on the github it said its not great at stable gameplay
@@jotakux7489wierd but yeah they had hall effect sticks hall effect sticks aren't completely immune to drift (some people claim the are, but they are incorrect)
Dude the intro had a few lol. But the games shown off, in order, are Monster Hunter Frontier G, Soul Sacrifice, Phantasy Star Nova and some random Senran Kagura game. Also Ys Origin a bit later.
It gets funnier when you know you can run switch games off of it and switch users can't play ATM because they're still at war with Nintendo, most servers are down too
Is the latency associated with vita docks still rough? I remember it being quite noticable on the Vita Dock I built back in 2020 using a repurposed raspberry pi 3. The colours and blending were also not accurate. Doesn't help that my OLED vita had such a lovely screen to begin with tbf😂 I mean, I still used it for my first playthrough of Persona 4 Golden, but I know it wasn't 100% optimised. I even noticed input latency rear its ugly head during the bug catching minigame.
They added 3 new updates since 2020 and its improved alot! I personally haven't noticed latency while playing.Trust me if it was a laggy mess I wouldn't even bother making a video on it. Its 100% playable to the point I can recommend it to anyone. Its on par with just connecting to a pc over obs. So you can test that way if you'd like and you'll likely get the same results. As for color its hard to tell. I don't have an oled monitor yet so the color temperature compared to the oled vita are much different. The oled is much warmer while my monitor is more cool. Could be as simple as picking a different color profile. Once I can get an oled monitor I bet the colors look far more similar than we might realize 😅
Ill never understand how Sony fucked the PS Vita had everything to be an amazing handheld but in typical Sony fashion they gave up on it before even trying.
Bro did you watch the video? Did you read the description? I spent nearly 100 hours over the course of a week to make this video! I'm as committed as it gets. The video was longer then I originally wanted it to be so I wasn't interested in adding another 5 minutes to explain something else. The video is a guide, and one that I tried to make as simple as possible. I don't mind if you have a suggestion, but you don't need to insult me to add it.

You know, while making this video, I too was skeptical on whether it actually did. As the only proof turned into a rabbit hole of Reddit threads saying its true. Someone should find out for sure 👀

Same, I have a PlayStation TV, I don't even need it.
Bro, I keep waiting and waiting for a vita 2 and gave me yet another reason to pick up a modded vita. Amazing information.
This is such a nice alternative to the psp go dock. I honestly might build this at some point. Thanks for the rocking guide!

This is awesome, I’ve been waiting for someone to do a video on this for so long. Great video man
Holy man this is crazy, vita was so ahead of its time!
I just 3D printed a dock hooked it up to my PC using OBS which is connected to my TV it cost me zero bucks😊 Nice video keep it up🤘😎
Cheap not zero bucks lmao

This is so cool, I would’ve really liked to see Sony make a TV only Vita since it looks great on the big screen
Maybe they could call it the pstv or something
Mad props, I may end up doing this
Finally a way to make the most uncomfortable handheld useful. But I already bought a PSTV, too, just for that reason xD
Woah be nice man! I mean your not wrong, but you didn't have to say it 🤣🤣🤣

I hope they re-release and localize Phantasy star NOVA. Really happy when they announced freedom wars.
Man, I really ought to get into Vita modding. I don't play on that console nearly as much as I should

The PSP 2000 and others later also were capable to do external vídeo output
It was such an awesome feature too! The PSP was truly ahead of its time. I wish it was that easy on the Vita, but here we are 😅
What’s the latency like playing on a TV/Monitor using this?
From what I noticed its either non-existent or so small you'd never be able to notice it. If you have a PC and OBS you can connect it that way and test for yourself. I'm using a Dualshock 4 over Bluetooth and audio over Bluetooth and haven't noticed any lag yet.
will this charge the vita oled while outputting to tv?
Yes, but it will charge VERY slowly. Its so slow, the charge light and icon don't show on the Vita. But it does indeed charge.
@@ModsByT4 awesome thanks!
I'm probably gonna 3d print a doc and do this
If this could be done to a Switch Lite it would be awesome! I have a PSTV and a Vita and I would love to use only one for commodity.
Your in luck as Taki Udon just released a video about his OLED switch lite mod. One of the versions will have HDMI out too!
This Dock needs to upscale the image, and do that in less than ~1 frame so we can still play.
there's a much, much better way to do all this, only requiring to plug your vita into your computer and using the same plugins he mentioned... you can even pull up your vita screen in VLC/MPC.

What game was the gameplay at the end from? I might’ve missed you saying it at some point
Cool video, just one minor thing. The video seems interlaced and it looks pretty distracting.
its a whole lot better than just buying a pstv
I wonder if your docking station charges PS VITA like a switch docking station? Not a competitor for switch
So this PS Vita 2000 cradle is basically micro USB cable for charging any device with micro USB + stand for Vita?

Good luck trying to find a Vita cradle for the 1,000
Cheaper to just buy a PS TV and 2 cables.
Is it possible to play for example a 2 player game with 2 ps4 controllers?
did the gameplay was smooth?
my pc is suck the gameplay is slow and the sound on aux cable was distorted.
what are the benefit of using this over connecting it to obs?
was it explained how you got the pos4 remote to work on the vita? dont think i heard anything about that at all
