Tbh I'm surprised that Minecraft on the PSP was still being updated until 2018, I'd expect it would've stopped earlier.
The PSP had Minecraft?
He either calling the vita psp or talking about the copy version of mc for psp homebrew
He called the Vita a PSP. He didn't mean it. I know him irl and can confirm this lol.
@@flaming62 they are CLOSE ENOUGH
So my first guess was right lol
man this background music is taking me back. The vita was so ahead of its time
I loved the vita version , I was always stuck in pocket edition with limits . until the vita version came out I ran to the second hand store for a ps vita just for Minecraft
I've owned my modded Vita since my 17th Birthday on 2022, and I've loved it ever since, so I can play my childhood version of MC (PS3 edition gamer since 2014) anywhere I go! I do also emulate the legacy Switch edition on Steam Deck now, but there is just something about the portability of the Vita. That alongside Disgaea 4, Hatsune Miku Project DIVA f, and BlazBlue Chronophantasma are some of my favorite Vita games. I even made a buying guide on the Vita a little while ago, that's how much I like it! Good job on the video, you earned a loyal subscriber!
Thanks for the comment! I got my Vita for basically the same reason it seems you did, mostly for some nostalgic legacy console minecraft on the go, but also partially for other games and homebrews. Funny thing about the PS3 Edition, I actually just got my childhood PS3 back up and running today, even got it running cfw. Playing split screen minecraft on the PS3 again is truly a magical feeling.
The PS Vita is the primary way that I play Minecraft to this day, in fact I was playing it just before watching this video. Oh how I love you PS Vita 🥺
Amazing video btw, got a sub from me! ❤️
I just bought my vita pre owned on eBay and bought the physical cart for Minecraft out of Japan. Can’t wait to play later this week!
Well done on the video really brought me back to the time I owned a Vita
There's something so special about Minecraft specifically on the Vita. Glide is awesome.
Yeah I agree, Vita minecraft is weirdly different despite being nit much different. And yeah, glide is my favourite minigame.
remember waiting patiently for minecraft to release on my psvita i miss those times
amazing video , i cant believe that u have only 116 subscribers , continue like this man !
Thanks! What's even harder to believe is that I only had about 60 subs before posting this video.
Awesome video! I have a ps vita and might get back into it.
The PsVita was my first console, I was 7 years old at the time, I got it for Christmas along with Minecraft and played daily, it still works now which is great but I also recently found out my parents were really tight on money back then and had to save up a lot for it and that just makes it all the more dear to me now
i love this game on the ps vita. i still play it now. id play online but nobody i know has a vita so teaming up just isnt gonna happen.
Just imagine if we had the same amount of optimization on Minecraft Java and Bedrock
I love the Vita glad to have it put homebrew software on it best handheld on the market IMO good video sir
nice vid thx king
IDK why but your voice is soothing to listen to. You would be a fantastic narrator
Love the video, I've been thinking about buying a vita for a while now and I'll probably buy one soon because of this video
Glad to see another person hopping into the Vita community. You likely won't regret it.
The fact you only have 97 subs is crazy too me. Im your 97 sub :)
Got this recommended to me for the third time and still watched the whole video
I remember a glitch where I made infinite zombies with villagers because it had a strange mob limit for zombies
And I made a huge tomb of them and 1 zombie broke and wouldn't attack me and I made him and 2 others named after the 3 minions :/
This guy is so chill.
I loved the video! I love my PSVita specifically for the legacy edition of Minecraft. Bedrock edition just isn't the same, kind of worse
Psvita legcy edition was my first minecraft game i bought it. i have platinum every trophy on the psvita it came with a redem code for the ps3 legend's version what is cool because you can transfer your save world progress. i also have minecraft ps3 legcy edition and ps4 edition what i have also got ever trophy on the ps4. And i have the Nintendo switch Bedrock version aswell. all because of the psvita version i love the game minecraft❤
lol, i always remap my crouch and change perspective to the dpad. I played the 360 version a lot when it was still getting updates. i must be old 😅
Good video
Thanks!
I miss the near app i remember i found a few people that had a vita that lived nearby
i am planning to buy a classic console,
this video helped choose one, as soon as i buy one i will get minecraft installed on it.
thank your very much :D
There are physical copies, too
I bought an OLED 1000 model on OfferUp for $100 and it’s in great condition and it’s just fun playing the legacy edition on the go. Something that did upset me was that you can’t transfer ps3 maps anymore to vita
Yeah it's unfortunate that you can't transfer worlds anymore. I would've loved to put some Vita worlds onto my ps3 but I guess I got the Vita too late for that. Other than that it's a great experience though.
Man I love this portable i got to wireless lan play with friends someday
Thats actually crazy thay managed to put the ps3 version of Minecraft on a handheled from 2011
Minecraft on my Vita is an absolute godsend, it's saved me from boredom on many a bus journey.
I totally agree. I didn't realize how great minecraft on the Vita was until I got mine. Definitely the best activity for curing boredom on the go.
I noticed that even though the Ps Vita edition is 1.13 it still has the updated textures of 1.14
This is because I was using minecraft enhanced for most of the recorded footage. The Vita Edition normally does not have the updated textures.
I've been wanting a way to play leagacy console portabily, I had access to the switch edition temporality and it was awesome but it didn't last long. This defedently seems like really the best solution over all for me. I know the vita can do a few other cool things like it has some andriod game ports. Still trying to decide if i should get one though because im not exactly sure.
I definitely dont regret getting mine. It may not be a very powerful console, but the fact that it fits into your pocket more than makes up for it. Once jailbroken, theres also alot of homebrew stuff too. If you're still undecided, just do some research into what's available for the Vita, and that might help you make your final decision. Thanks for watching the video btw.
@@flaming62 Yes of course, couldn't skip over a legacy console video that caught my eye
My only problem is I have slightly bigger hands for the vita so I need the case that makes the grip size bigger which I haven't been able to purchase since getting my vita mostly because I kinda forget to buy it but other than that I love my vita.
i started playing it on my modded vita it got me back into mc phase ngl
Good video also I'm thinking of getting a ps vita any recommendations for games and mods?
Other than minecraft, I'd say LBP Vita is a good tech demo like game for using the touchscreen and back TouchPad. Other than that, it really depends on what type of games you like to play.
Awesome video! I wanted to ask how you have Enhanced and the digital version of Minecraft vita at the same time?
I have Both the US and EU version of the game installed. Minecraft Enhanced is US, Vanilla is EU. Hope this helps!
@@flaming62How do you install different region copies?
@@hatandhoodie_ through a jailbroken Vita and PKGJ.
I need an emulation handheld the size of the switch lite that could play legacy console edition
The memories 😫
if you want a unique vita game i recommend freedom wars. its a shame you got into it so late, there were a lot of good games like killzone mercenary for example that are no longer playable online. i guess the campaign is still good though kind of
Thanks for the recommendations! I'll be sure to check these out at some point.
I've had a 3DS for a while and I'm planning to get one now, but I'm not sure if I should get a Vita instead? I have had a 3DS for ~6 years and modded for ~3 years and I know all there is about 3DS and a bunch of games that I know I like so maybe it's worth it over the Vita?
If anything I might get a 3DS before a Vita.
The Minecraft 3DS Edition is terrible but I generally prefer Java anyways due to Multiplayer
Both the 3DS and the Vita are great consoles. I'd go with whatever one you prefer, as long you're having fun.
Does modded vita still support PSN and trophy hunting/synch? That overclocking abiliti looks really tempting.
Yes, you can still connect to PSN and get trophies. As long as youre not cheating trophies, you're also not likely to be banned.
Not trying to fight or anything, I just wanna ask if you don't consider the Android/iOS Minecraft Bedrock an easier Pocket edition Minecraft?
The Andriod/iOS bedrock is definitely the easier way of minecraft in your pocket. The Vita Edition is just the best way of getting Legacy Console Edition minecraft in your pocket.
@@flaming62 Oh right! Sorry I'm dumb xD hahahah you literally said that like 5 times at the start of the video...thank you for a good one though!
There was a pretty rare switch edition Of Minecraft Legacy which Was only available for one year where there was no cartridge where it stuck on 1.12 which is the same version Xbox one is stuck on
I actually have that switch version on my switch! Had many good times on it before the switch to bedrock. (No pun intended)
There is some similarities to both The PS vita and switch version which being the low render distance The Three world sizes being classic small and medium
And you could also rethrive your Wii U worlds even though that version is in the aquatic update just like all the other Editions Except for Xbox One and the switch version
Yes but I recommend to OVERCLOCK IT so it runs on 60fps
If LBP was still up id play with ya. Some trophies ill never unlock now
I think there's custom servers for LBP but I'm not sure if they're available for Vita. I'll have to look into it a bit more in the future.
@@flaming62 oh that would be awesome if they are.
I used to have it on vita, was so fun except for how laggy it was
I find it only starts to get laggy if you built lots of stuff or have many entities spawned. Usually it's fine for a single player world, but it can get annoying when playing with others.
Used to play Minecraft on the vita but I lost it ):
What’s easier, console controls, mobile controls or pc controles for Minecraft?
Honestly I find keyboard/controller controls just as easy as each other. Touchscreen controls on mobile is definitely not as easy though. Juts my opinion.
@@flaming62 touch screen is not that hard it’s just turning is annoying and slow sometimes
Great now I have 6 reasons to buy a Playstation Vita:
- Minecraft Playstation Vita Edition
- Call Of Duty Black Ops Declassified
- Hatsune Miku Project Diva F
- Hatsune Miku Project Diva F 2nd
- Hatsune Miku Project Diva X
- Nazi Zombies Portable (Homebrew Game)
I first played on the PS4 edition until 2019 when I got Bedrock Edition on Switch. Now I play Bedrock on Computer.
I started with PS3 edition, I've played every legacy console version that exists since then, and now I mostly play Java Edition on my pc. I have bedrock too though.
i started mc on pc with beta 1.7.3 around 2011 i have ps3 so ill probably get mc for it c: @@flaming62 i have mc on switch,vita,phone,and pc java and bedrock versions. switch is probably the worst one tbh :/
I still personally prefer Bedrock/Pocket Edition on a phone for my portable and personal Minecraft experience. I do have Minecraft on the Xbox 360 to easily play split screen with friends and family.
bro there is a legacy version on the switch it is now running bedrock but a legacy version was made before they made the bedrock edition
How do you keep both vanilla and enhanced versions? When I tried to install vanilla it went back to the enhanced version
You need two different regions of the game. My enhanced is the US version and vanilla is EU version.
@@flaming62 okay thank you man, keep up the videos!
I love vita edition its the best version at the time on a handheld
Whats the texture pack you used?
All the texture packs I used are included in Minecraft Enhanced. I forgot exactly what each texture pack is called but one is the default Minecraft Enhanced textures, and the other is the new vanilla textures.
my first minecraft experience was on the xbox 360 and later ps4 (it had lce and if you too have the disc you can still play it)
the ps4 ran it much faster and had 4096 by 4096 worlds and 1.14
now i have an modded 360 and the legacy disc on ps4
Ps4 edition is actually one of the 2 versions of legacy console edition that I don't have, despite owning a ps4. Some day I'll have to complete my collection.
@@flaming62 if u get the new disc you dont have the editions button i suggest u mod ur ps4 too btw
theres a promising new jailbreak coming anytime soon
@@Win_7 I've been thinking about modding it for a little while but I'm waiting for Sony to officially drop support for it. Maybe I'll just try to find a disc for it on ebay or something. Could make a good video I think.
@@flaming62 they published ps3 update in early 2023 so do it now
Wow this looks so much better than the 3DS edition!
Unfortunately, my Vita got stolen from me. I loved that thing. I still have my PlayStation Vita TV though.
Is it perfect? No but considering i can play rhe original version i played as a kid and oc my vita to make it run better thats all i needed ever 🙏🏼
I own Minecraft Vita and LittleBigPlanet Vita Marvel edition but sadly I don't own a Vita 😅
Yeah i know, i'm playing this game whenever i want, it's cool, but a little bit small amount of fps and this water teksture...
I loved the vita version the most.
God we need a decompiled open source version of legacy console so I can play on my phone
I'm not using that bad emulator vita 3k just for legacy console or rpcs3
I've used Yuzu to play the switch version on my phone. Still doesn't run overly great and the controls are awkward, but it works.
I find this to be the only version of minecraft i actually still enjoy
I still find all versions enjoyable in one way or another, but the primary 2 versions I play now are Legacy Console and Java Edition. Java for mods, Legacy for minigames.
@flaming62 I have sadly lost that minecraft spark, but it's never gone just on some vacation in my mind somewhere XD
I thought Minecraft on vita only has a download code included instead on a physical cartridge.
You're right. In North America, it was only a download code. I have a Japanese copy though, and in Japan, it was on a physical cartridge like any other Vita game. I have no idea why this is.
@@flaming62 as long as the vita is region free, then I'm sold.
@@maverickhuntermeta4954 The Vita is in fact region free!
@@flaming62 Cool. Even if I pop in a Japanese import of minecraft into a US vita, will the language be in Japanese only? Or will it have English language available? (Without mods that is)
@@maverickhuntermeta4954 The language will almost always be whatever language the Vita was set to upon its first time setup. If you set it to English, it will be in English even in Japanese games. I'm not sure if this goes for games exclusively released in Japan though.
The biggest downside to PS Vita minecraft is that, if you make a save file on there, then its on there forever. (Of course you can make backup and transfer it to pc, etc). But unlike PS3 version (which you can backup and convert to Java/Bedrock using third party software on PC) There is no way to play that PS Vita world on any other minecraft editions or version. The same goes for New3DS version.
You used to be able to transfer ps Vita worlds to ps3, so if you can convert ps3 worlds to other versions then I guess that would maybe work. Although they stopper the transfer services for legacy edition minecraft a while ago now.
yo im trying to get a platinum trophy for this game and i need to get diamonds to you would you be able to join my game so i can get this trophy? 😭
I'm trying the same but I think the servers are offline.
i bought a vita just for minecraft, sue me. (was this worth it, i fucking love legacy and the idea of it being in your pocket is mind blowing)
Now i just need to find a vita...
I got one off Ebay for 100 bucks you just gotta wait and be patient and look for something that is in good quality and isnt beat up like crazy
@@resared8538 I'll be sure to keep an eye out, Its sort of a dream of mine to just have one
The 2017 Minecraft Nintendo switch edition is also legacy console minecraft in your pocket
If you have large pockets, then yeah I guess so. The thing about the switch is that it's a lot larger than a Vita. Even a switch lite is awkward in your pocket, although it does fit for the most part. The switch version is also one update behind the Vita version. A good choice if you already have a switch.
@@flaming62 what do you mean by the Switch version is one update behind the vita version
@@maverickhuntermeta4954 The legacy switch edition is one major update behind Vita Edition. Minecraft on Vita got to update Aquatic but the Switch got bedrock instead at that time, making it so the legacy switch version never got update aquatic.
I play minecraft ps vita everyday
ad-hoc connection is just lan, you can essentially do that with any console too
the legacy console edition was so much better than bedrock edition and while for me too the ps3 edition was my first minecraft experience i dont think you could say its better than java java is objectively the best minecraft mostly because its on pc you can mod add shaders add more content entirely change the game into a different genre if you want and you have mouse keyboard and controller support with basically no limit you can play it on a desktop on a laptop and like you said steam deck and other handheld pcs its the most versatile free and amazing version of minecraft
I 100% agree with this. Legacy console isn't the best version of minecraft, it's just the best version released on consoles.
Ever since I used the Vita, I always set the hotbar to the dpad.
It's just the superior controls
Dare I say better than KB+M
I still prefer using the bumpers for the hotbar, but every time I go to play any other version of minecraft with a controller after playing on the Vita, I constantly find myself trying to use the dpad lol.
@@flaming62 I always find myself remapping the button scheme in the menus all the time
Minecraft new Nintendo 3Ds edition just crying in the corner
Yeah pretty true lol. I'd do a separate video on that if I could, but I don't have a new 3DS :(
i have ps vita slim with light pink back and white front from japan also minecraft copy from japan just like you xD but i also have german copy lol
My Vita shown in the video is also from Japan. It's a little weird having the X and O buttons swapped on menus but it's easy to get used to. Onw of the quirks of a Japanese model I guess. And yeah, I could change that since it's modded, but I chose not to.
i think the multi-colored versions were only in japan ? i really like the light pink version its cute c: i tried to play telltale walking dead it works fine but sometimes it lags in QTEs honestly minecraft on vita is really good solid experience maybe even better than switch. i also got game card of metal gear solid hd collection and dragon quest heroes 2 for it :D @@flaming62
i literally bought a Vita purely for minecraft, but the game got delayed for like a year so i had to wait even longer lmao.
Removed Herobrine- Mojang from 2012
I feel like vita glide is a hard mode
It can be, depending on the map, and general reaction time. I'd like to say I'm good at it, and I can usually win in a glide lobby, but then I see people speedrunning glide. Those speedrunners are a different breed of skill lol.
More so on the low render distance and slow chunk loading
@@Davidcat_studio oh yeah, that's definitely the hardest part about glide on Vita. Also the small Joysticks make it a little harder to make small adjustments. Other than that it's not that bad though.
Should I buy a ps vita?
If you really want one then sure. There's alot of good games for the Vita other than just minecraft, but you have to keep in mind that it's also a somewhat old console now and isn't very powerful. If you decide to buy one, check your local Facebook marketplace before looking on Ebay. You might find a better deal on Marketplace if there's any Vitas for sale near you.
have you tried the 3ds version oh lord both version vita and 3ds are bad
Minecraft new 3ds edition is still good.
To buy a vita just to play Minecraft is ridiculous it can't even play ROBLOX
Yeah it may be ridiculous now in 2024, but just ridiculous enough for me to do it anyways I guess lol. As for roblox, back when the Vita released it would've been able to run roblox just fine, but as the game has been updated it gets harder for older devices to run. For example, if you tried to run roblox on a phone or tablet from roughly the same time period, it likely wouldn't run, or would struggle to get above 5-10fps. Just because the Vita can't run modern games doesn't make it a bad console though, as there are many classics that are still fun to play to this day.
There’s Pocket Edition and Bedrock on switch. The switch still plays better than a Vita too. Seriously, why would you play an outdated version of Minecraft?
There's nothing particularly wrong with Bedrock Edition as a whole in my opinion, I just prefer the legacy console edition experience. And while the switch does play better than a Vita for the most part, i can't put a switch in my pocket.
This comment confirms that you simply weren't there for those classic days of Minecraft... oh how you missed out my friend 😢 the legacy console edition will always be superior to Bedrock imo, just as Java edition is also superior to Bedrock on the PC side of things (again, just my opinion). Everybody has their preferences though, and that's completely okay!
I never played legacy console edition until recently, but if I were to choose between it and Bedrock, I'd go for it just because the design and feel of new bedrock is horrible for me, the only bedrock versions I can enjoy are 1.14 and below. Windows 10 Edition and Pocket Edition are also notable imo.
switch version? its basically just smartphone version... and switch is like tablet from 2017
When you said "ps3 was the first minecraft version i played" just brang back memories 🥲
