  • So a little while back, my little brother bought himself a PsVita, and ever since then I couldn't help but love this handheld console, even though originally it was seen as a flop when it came out back in 2011.
    I hope you enjoyed your stay at the Tech Shack, and if you did, please consider liking and subscribing.

    I got my 1000 for a little over $1oo from Japan about two months ago and I'm absolutely in love. I mainly bought it because I wanted to play TXK, but it turns out I've been going through fan translated PSP JRPGs that I've always wanted to play but didn't feel like loading up an emulator on the PC for. It's a great console with an SD2Vita.

    Sony's "handheld" line needs to be dedicated to backwards compatibility or just releasing "collections" of EVERY past gen's greatest hits from the ps2 era. Just "demake" a ton of games that released on ps2 (or UP the resolution a bit. SOME ppl only care about THE GAMS ITSELF BEING ENJOYABLE. Not just "graphics" like some of yall FORCE yourselves to pretend to care about 😂) and it will be a guaranteed smash hit

    It's a damn Shame a handheld system i this case was such a flop that the only real reason olwn this thing these days is to have modded one with a load of pirated games.
    The reason it failed is it got released at the wrong time and second the Consumers caused the a huge hack back in 2011 on the PS3 causing Sony to go with the memory cards that they did with Vita. If you took a look at the PSP software sales you'd noticed there were quiet a bit of psp games that got ported to the PS2 because people just made the PSP hacked garbage and developers weren't making enough money to make it worthwhile.
    So it basically comes down to stop hacking their shit and reporting it on the internet making it a mainstreme thing. if ur going jail brake it keep it to urself.
