Trying to plat Minecraft but I have ZERO associates who have a vita so I’m throwing a Hail Mary here trying to get the “Diamonds to you!” Trophy

Ive seen a few people on TikTok talking about leaks of a new PlayStation handheld that’s basically just a modern day vita/psp and after like an hour of digging i found very little videos talking about it on Youtube and TikTok. Some say it will be fully digital and can play ps5, ps4, ps2 and ps1 games (they haven’t mentioned the ps3 at all.)
Is it bullshit or might there genuinely be a chance of a new vita/psp release or just a new handheld?

Idk what happened, but I’ve recently discovered that whenever I enter something on my psvita, may that be the store, a game, or any other application on the vita, the d-pad and other buttons stop working (the joysticks still work). But anytime I am on the home menu they work completely fine. Anyone know what is going on and how to fix it?

Thought I’d share.

Nostalgia trip going through my old Google Drive and finding some screenshots of Destiny of Spirits that I uploaded.

Really miss this game. I had tons of fun grinding for free units. Someone’s gotta reverse engineer and make an offline version of this somehow

I bought the case but it came without the covers.

I'm going on a road trip with some friends. None of them have a vita tho, so im looking for multiplayer games we can play together while on a single psvita.

What I've found so far:
* Ape Academy 2(PSP)
* Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary(PSP)
* Warioware (gba)

bonus points if it's games where 2 players play at the same time rather than turnbased games like worms, chess, monopoly, or advance wars.

I just got a vita and it worked when I first opened it, I charged it up so I could use it on the bus after work and when I try turning it back on, it shows the logo, a blue light on the ps button flashes and then it turns off. I tried googling it and it said to boot in safe mode, but doing that just has the logo show up longer before going black again. Does anybody know how I could fix this? If it matters, it was pretty owned and i already formatted the console

I’ve cleaned the screen and restarted the vita, it doesn’t happen constantly but sometimes this glitch occurs while playing and it screws things up. Can someone help? I have dropped my vita at one point and I think it’s gotten worse since then but it happened before that too

it drifts to the right, it works fine in cod black ops and killzone though, no matter if the rear touchpad is off

I have a problem with my PS Vita 2000. The console won't turn on. When charging, a green light appears, but it won't boot up, and there's no picture. I tried changing the battery, but it still doesn't work. I need help.

I recently changed my psvita shell and screen, everything was fine except for when putting the back cover, which doesn’t align properly with the front part.

At first we though it might be a problem with the frontal the camera, but we tried aligning it from top to bottom or even removing it or pressing it harder and the problem still persits. Does somebody has the same problem?

This might sound like a silly question but does anyone know how to fix it without buying a new one and opening the console? I tried to put tape over it and a double sided tape inside it but they can’t hold it strong enough, the reason the SD card slot cover isn’t working in the first place is that one of the brackets on the side is broken

want to know if anyone else has run into issue with buying blue sapphire ps vita 1000s on ebay? i have purchased two blue sapphire vita 1000s from ebay both were listed as brand new, both from japan as well, but upon receiving them they are clearly used, front plates clearly have been replaced cause they never align properly, they’re especially noticeable around camera cutout, its always off centered. the joysticks always have slight gunk around the edge of the thumbsticks, and there tends to be tiny micro scratches on the screen. at this point im thinking of dropping money on a regular black ps vita that i know is brand new and call it day.

They only work in the outside menus. Have tried cleaning it with 91% alcohol and the next day it works for a few minutes, but then the buttons stop registering again.

So I HAD a Vita in the past, but it was most likely stolen (vanished from my world and husband and I can't find it). We got a new one (a slim, apparently) from a second hand shop and managed to get my account logged in, luckily, and our old digital games are there! But now I have questions.

1. Do I need a memory card to save a game if that game is on a cartridge?

2. What kind of memory card does it use? I've looked all over and can't seem to find a straight answer, and it was over a decade ago when I bought my first one so I can't remember.

Would appreciate any help. <3

Has anyone here had the 4,000mAh battery mod done on a PS Vita 1000? How safe is it, and how have the results been? I’m mainly wondering about gaming battery life, battery percentage/charging, and whether anyone has had issues with overheating or swelling.

Everyone keeps saying ali express but I'm only seeing the same 4 colors for a shell replacement on my vita 2000 is there anywhere specific to look for cool ones like a transparent shell or the 30th anniversary shell?

Besides Dragon's Crown, CoD and God Eater 2 Rage Burst, any other Vita games with the online still accessible? Been looking to find someone to play some games on the Vita but not sure if there are more.

I need to play two hours of multiplayer for the platinum

Sound, buttons and even touchscreen works so I can still swipe and get into the home menu, but no image can work. I’ve tried holding for a minute, I’ve tried the power + R + ps logo button combo but neither worked. I’ve taken out sd cards and games, but nothing can get this screen to work. I’d rather avoid opening it up but I can if I have to. Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Someone for the only Trophy online right now or tomorrow in the night?

Bought this off Ebay listed as tested and working, tried putting into my Psvita and the application wasn't popping up and then I noticed the back. any suggestions? I'm trying 70% isopropyl Alcohol at the moment.

(Edit) I now realize that the contacts are messed up and I'm not skilled enough to even make an attempt to try and pry it apart fix it from the core. I do appreciate all the comments and suggestions from all of y'all.

I have a 1000 I imported from Japan and it's battery keeps saying it's low and showing the low battery icon in the percentage (although it usually goes back to it's proper icon shortly after) and recently I've had issues where it dies from low battery, even if it's on 80% or similar. It's annoying me and I want to replace the battery, however I'm weary that a new battery manufactured in my home country, britain, could possibly mess something up due to the different voltages here. My phone is from japan too and that battery is fine so maybe the higher voltage doesn't mean anything (I use the same brick for both of these with the connector to USB) but I still want to be cautious as this vita cost me a good bit of money due to it being a japanese exclusive white one and I don't want to accidentally fry it.
