This video came at the perfect time. I finally got the Vita3k emulator running on my RP4pro with persona 4 golden and was wondering what other Vita games can the system run. Great video!
I knew your voice sounded familar!Always look forward to the switch reviews. Glad to see you have another channel to explore. Just set up my RP4 last week and it really is an emulation beast. It has retired my Odin pro because of the better pocketability.
Oh wow, found this searching for retroid 4 pro vids, thought you sounded familiar! Automatic sub from me, one of the few UA-camrs I trust for unbiased and genuine Switch vids, glad to see you doing emu devices too as I'm never sure if things are REALLY running OK on these things, if this is like your Switch channel then I'm in safe hands 👍
Found the video as I have a RP4 Pro and was just browsing through YT for videos on the console where I found this. Then I recognised the voice. I take it this is a personal side project from SwitchUp. Nice video, good luck with the channel, an easy subscribe for me. Your going to need a new outro to top the "seeyaaa"
Gravity Rush also runs great at 2x resolution, then some indies I've been playing on it are Forma 8 (had a few crashes early on during loading but seems fine after that), Deadbolt is another. Some others that're worth keeping an eye on for future updates: Sly Cooper trilogy all run super smooth but when you finish the first level and it hits the loading screen it hangs unfortunately. Same for Bastion, really smooth, but a few levels in and a loading screen crashes it. So hopefully whatever is causing them to hang on loading screens can get fixed because otherwise they run great. Great thing about the above games too is that it runs them on performance (quiet) 2x resolution, and the Sly Cooper games look much cleaner than the PS2 versions as well.
Hey I know it's been a few months. Did you ever figure out if you can point Vita3K to your SD card for the game installations? I edited the config file and changed the pref value to storage/0000-0000/my/game/folder/ and Vita3K won't even launch now.
Hey man, great video. Thanks for the hard work 👍 maybe dumb question, are the Vita roms NoNpDrm? I may or may not be hypothetically using the ROMs megathread and do not know what file types to download. There's the first link (Content) and the 4th link (NoNpDrm) or the 7th link (VPK). Sorry, I'm such a beginner at this stuff
Hmmmmm hypothetically I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to with those as they're not file types. Might be a case of trial and error or check out the forums.
im guessing if it can run borderlands 2. it can basically run everything once compatibility is worked out. i just hope they focus on LBP killzone and wipeout
Borderlands 2 for the win. One annoying part is I can’t figure out how to swap mapping for the bumpers to the triggers. Hate using the clicky bumpers on the RP4 Pro and vita3k
Thanks for your review! I got things running on my RP4P too, but I don't understand how to sprint with this controls setup. And in order to throw the granades I need to use touch controls. What did I do wrong?
Anyone got a good lists of game to download, like PS VITA,PSP, Switch and older like "Contra" or "Super Mario" :)? Looking for a page with a list. Already got some PS1 and PS2 games :)
@@MarkiTechYt that's awesome! I love the switch up channel! My switch backlog is ridiculous thanks to you 😂 as soon as I heard your voice I thought wait a minute I know this voice... I do reviews on these things to over on the retro handhelds UA-cam channel, it's always great seeing other content creators join the community.
@@AishRios Ah thank you mate, I've been tinkering with these since the Retroid Pocket 2 and maybe a little earlier and just love the process. Not really planning to make a splash in the space but having a hobby channel has already proven to be really nice. Mark
File not compatible, I know vitamin packs are not supported but neither pkg nor zips are working for me i guess I might have to decrypt them but not sure how on PC
I noticed you said it's important to install from a .zip. Is there a specific reason why? I've tried installing a game from a .pkg, and it got stuck at 14% install. If there's a good reason why I'll stay away from backing up my games to .pkg files.
you dont even need the pro or even the pocket 4 i got the 3+ and all the sames are the same playable basicly anything higher performance then the retropocket 2+ maxes out where we are with emulation if the game dosnt play more power wont make it play its a compatiablity issue not lack of power issue thats why with hand helds i always go for a chip alittle weaker then a snap dragon cause u dont need alot of power it either runs or it dosnt 1000 bucks for a higher end performance wont make it play its the compatiablity thats how emulation works why do you think theres alot of switch games that still cant get emulated on the steam deck the deck has 2 maybe 3x the hardware power then the switch its now power its software limitations
For certain emulators/game power certainly isn't the limiting factor - for others being able to x2 x3 etc and have other settings the power is essential.
Only a handful of ps vita only games can be emulated, the majority of them can't be emulated by anything (like Uncharted, Killzone, Resistance, Army Corps of Hell, Unit13, LittleBig Planet, MonsterBag, Phantasy Star Nova, Ratchet and Clank Collection (remastered trilogy) etc, etc). It's a piece of junk, buy an amoled smartphone with special joysticks for emulators, it would be much better and not so much more expensive.
Welcome back - if you enjoyed this let me know, I still need to choose a winner for the R36S from the previous episode! Don’t forget to hit continue…
Please be me
Wait, do you also have another channel? SwitchUp?

Ah excellent mate, hope it helps!
Bro be honest does p4g actually run at full 30 fps during fights and dialouge? Idc about overworld movement performance
@@createor8590it’s works fully
Is it true that ffx is still buggy to enter the first time you have battle?
@@createor8590 yes

My new favourite retro tech channel!
Much appreciated!

That's brilliant thanks , please do stick around if you're able. Really useful commentary!
Underrated, awesome retro content. Keep it up 🔥
Thanks that's really kind of ya!
Thank you so much! I've got everything setup. Looking forward to more videos!
Another great video and i don't even know what on earth that new chonk is that you teased in the video!
Hahaha thank chunky boy is the R47 of something. I'll have a little play around with it
I got a switch Years ago and got used to this voice. My rp4 pro is on the way and your voice again.
Thanks man! Everything worked smoothly!
7:50 I did question my life choices lol
hahaha takes A WHILE right! Mark
I love the RP4Pro for Vita except Vita installs to the 128gb internal hard drive and a third of the way through installing my games I ran out of space
Ah yes I have an idea for that I'll be trying it later when my new card arrives. Cheers!
Not keen on it installing to the internal either. Also hope the GUI gets a total overhaul.
Ok so the micro sd can be used as expanded console storage it will mean you can install vita to it but it'll have to live in that device
I like your video thanks for the guide as well
Glad it helped
Great video the first video I watched with a clear explanation of the zip unzip zip process. Bloody bain before seeing this
Ah good that bit caught me off guard when it happened so I assumed others may face that
Did you try Uncharted (Ps Vita) on Retroid Pocket 4 Pro ?
I've been reading concerns about this device, but I really want it to work and plan to buy it. I just wish it was purple
Haha I know they have a few colours but purple is always a great option. Mark

@MarkiTechYt thanks! I was referring to the reddit ROMS megathread under the Vita section but thank you!! I'll just keep trying lol 😆
im guessing if it can run borderlands 2. it can basically run everything once compatibility is worked out. i just hope they focus on LBP killzone and wipeout
Borderlands 2 for the win. One annoying part is I can’t figure out how to swap mapping for the bumpers to the triggers. Hate using the clicky bumpers on the RP4 Pro and vita3k
Borderlands 2 on vita is just sick,4 pro is slamming!!!
I'm glad, It seems like good condition vitas are getting harder to come by now.
great video!!!!! Do you know what thumbstick covers would work for this rp4 pro?
I do I'll mention in next video some good options
Unfortunately all of the games I want to play still don't work or even boot, loll...
Got the switch version of Dariusburst CS working though 😆
Nice!!
I'll have to try this. I really like the tetris game I have on my vita. Would be awesome to play it on my rp4pro
Yeah I'm sure that would work
Oh, hi Mark.
Thanks for the excellent video. Do you know how Mortal Kombat 9 is running on the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro? Thanks
Which platform? Mark
@@MarkiTechYt Vita
Have u tried playing uncharted
And have u tried switch emulation
Thanks for your review! I got things running on my RP4P too, but I don't understand how to sprint with this controls setup. And in order to throw the granades I need to use touch controls. What did I do wrong?
Remap your button config in the emulator's menu, also in game I can't remmeber what I set mine to
Thanks, couldn't find it 😅 @@MarkiTechYt
great thanks, daft question.. ps vita games does the trophies just not appear on emulation?
It has trophy support built in to the emulator
Any advice on how to handle VPK files? I try to install outright and it won't let me...
Can you extract them and then zip them as shown in here?
Actually Vita could run natively in the switch...the same architecture. Good console thou.
That would be very cool. Has it been run in the hacked Switch?
would this work if i do it on my pc instead and then transfer the file to the vita folder on the RP4P.
No reason why not :)
Ironic how Borderlands 2 is one of the best playing games on this emulator
Where do I go to get the games I can't find them?
torrent

I'd rather have a loud fan noise than no fan noise..
Did you get tiered of reviewing switch games?
Just a hobby space here for me to unwind :)

Rverytine i try to install im getting an error ?
What is the error?
File not compatible, I know vitamin packs are not supported but neither pkg nor zips are working for me i guess I might have to decrypt them but not sure how on PC
I'm surprised you didn't put the frame rates on screen for us to see. Was there a reason for that?
Just because I'm a bit new to all this. I will next time.

It just seems to work more consistently for me :)

not paying 200 just for vita and heating up SOC. forget about this.
200 is super cheap for the hardware compared to a mobile phone running the same
