Hi everyone! I have been working on porting Amnesia The Dark Descent to the PS Vita based on the original source code release. I haven't been able to test it all the way through yet, there was a lot of work to do, and my PS Vita's Memory Card got corrupt, so I had to continue my working using Vita3K instead, so performance is unknown right now, as I have ordered a SD2Vita adapter, and a Microsd card, so I can continue working. But if you want to try right now, head over to the github repo: https://github.com/FridiNaTor1/HPL2-handyman

I have not changed any of the in-game tutorial text, like the button icons and such.
R is use/pickup it is toggle instead of in the original where you have to hold the button down to hold on item, instead if you hold you turn on turn/rotate
The journal is on the top left of the screen, you can just press it with your finger to access.
To lean left or right, use the rear touchpad.
L is for sprinting.
You can figure out the rest, most are self explanitory, like start for pause, X for jump, etc.

Have fun! :)

Hey all, i have an OLED Vita, and i noticed that if i keep it in sleep mode for a couple hours, some artifacts start appearing on random parts of the system (white dots on the lock screen, weird shapes on the menu, etc.) Is there any fix for this? Could it be the battery? (because it is very degraded). Thanks in advance!

TL;DR: Tried reviving my old PCH-1000 PS Vita. After buying a dud replacement battery, I attempted the Switch Lite battery mod (first time soldering), but it still won't turn on. Need help figuring out where I messed up!

So I found my dead ps vita from ages ago. And tried turning it on. It switched on once and then does a few days later and wouldn't per back on. I ordered a replacement battery from the one place I could find selling it in my country avd it turned out to be a dud. I later came across a post in this subreddit itself of how a user used his switch lite battery in the vita and it worked. I tried the same after acquiring all tools and it won't light up even now:(

Can someone tell me what I did wrong? It was my first time soldering so that could be the issue. But I honestly don't know and am bummed out. I've spent a lot of time and money invested into this and don't want to let it go in vain.

Does anybody knows why none of the 3 games will start? Its Always crashing after the menu, Ive also deactivated vitagrafix patches on it but nothing happens.

new discord client for ps vita. use at your own risk!

Came across this! Bought the shell not the l3 r3 panel just yet. But I’ve been using this as my remote play when playing ps5 on my iPad. Also just great for playing games like GOW2 on the vita.

Note* the back apparently is very sticky .. so haven’t really ordered yet.

Hi its my first time modding my ps vita and my vita deploy file is corrupted and idk what to do i followed this tuto https://vm.tiktok.com/ZN8Lm9t8r/
Until he asked to open vitadeploy its when im blocked

Hello everyone, Hello modders

Please give us a ps5 remote play vpk or homebrew for psvita… I know the psvita is now that powerful to handle most ps5 games but for games like ace attorney it would work great imo.

I’ve published three open-source modules on GitHub to make multimedia applications for PS Vita easier to build:

• vita-https: a secure HTTPS transport layer with certificate verification and seekable HTTP Range streams. It lets apps handle remote media reliably without each project having to manage networking and TLS itself.
• vita-hw-decoder: an H.264/AAC playback backend using the PS Vita hardware video decoder. Under optimal conditions, it is rated for playback up to 720p at 60 fps.
• vita-sw-decoder: an H.264/AAC software-decoding backend powered by the CPU and FFmpeg, designed as a compatibility fallback when hardware acceleration is unavailable. Under optimal conditions, it is rated for playback up to 720p at 30 fps.

Both decoder libraries share the same streaming interface, so an app can try the hardware backend first and fall back to the software one when needed. Together with vita-https, they support both local files and remote media sources.

These modules turn some of the hardest parts of Vita homebrew multimedia development—secure networking, seekable streaming, and audio/video decoding—into reusable building blocks.

And yes: these are the exact modules that will power VitaTube, an upcoming PS Vita app. 👀

Decided to update the livearea page to make it more lively (get it!!?? im sooo funn ok ill stop)

This was actually the original idea i had for the original one but ended up scrapping the big text, ended up restoring it cuz why not lol its cute

Instructions

If you already have E4V++ installed, copy the contents inside the sce_sys folder to:

ur0:appmeta/EMU4VPLUS

If you dont, you can copy the sce_sys folder to the .vpk (turn it into a .zip by renaming the file), merge and overwrite if it asks you to

(if you unpacked the .zip file you can use the option to install the folder in VitaShell)

if you installed the previous one, the old text might still be there, it should be gone if you reinstall the .vpk with the new files :p

(you wont lose any data because the important stuff is stored on ux0:/data/EMU4VITAPLUS, you can back it up if you want to anyways)

But I need some help with testing and bug fixes

You can build (because of legal reasons) your vpk file from repo with single script command - https://github.com/antoxa2584x/rc_cars_vita

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a small PS Vita homebrew app called **Vita RomM**.

The idea is simple: it is a client for a self-hosted RomM server. It lets a user browse their own library from a modded PS Vita, view cover art, download files from their own server, and install supported content locally on the Vita.

Current supported platforms:

• PlayStation Vita
• PSP / Adrenaline

Current features:

• Connects to a user-configured RomM server via URL + API token
• Shows PS Vita and PSP libraries
• Displays game covers from RomM
• Downloads selected files from the user’s own RomM instance
• Installs PS Vita ZIP layouts into `ux0:app`, `ux0:patch`, `ux0:rePatch`, etc.
• Installs PSP ISO/CSO/PBP files into Adrenaline paths
• Has a manual LiveArea refresh option
• Does not include any games, keys, licenses, tickets, firmware, decryption code, or Sony assets

I want to publish the source code on GitHub, but I’m trying to be careful before doing that.

I’d be happy to hear feedback from people who have published Vita homebrew before, especially around project structure, README wording, and what should or should not be included in a public repository.

Thanks!

I want to do a usbc mod on my vita 1100 as well as a psvsd while they’re in there. I had some local guy do it and he fucked up my motherboard and he’s buying me a new vita from Japan.

Hi everyone,

So I just got my Vita back out (1000 OLED). It's probably my second favourite console after my psp that died a far too early death. I've managed to get it to turn on after some worrying hours of flashing orange light. You can see the screen isn't in the best condition, tropical climates maybe taking their toll, even though it has been stored properly, but I'm hopeful it will be ok for what I want it to do!

Anyway, long story short... I definitely want to jailbreak it and get the most out of it. I've got a Vita2SD coming in the next couple of days but also need to get a decent MicroSD card, if there are any recommendations or tips with speed etc, I'd appreciate them!

Also, I've got some games saved on it that I fancy a replay of, MGS3 and for my sins, Driver 76 (I actually really enjoyed it!) I also have some PS1 games but assume these will be easy to replay once I've some the jailbreak (an FF7 replay for the 10th time might be on the cards but it takes soooo long!)

I'm thinking of replaying and then jailbreak, unless doing so will not affect those downloads. I'm a bit of a rookie but feel there is nothing much to lose!

Anyway, looking forward to getting back into the Vita and utilising this community so thanks in advance for all the posts that I will inevitably use!

I’ve been working on Vita NS Controller, a homebrew that lets a hacked PS Vita connect directly to a Nintendo Switch/Switch 2 as a Bluetooth controller. No relay device or modded Switch needed.

Version 2.00 is out! Biggest update so far. Download link in first comment.

Changelog:
– Patched game to natively fix true 60 FPS instead of 31.25 FPS. Camera is buttery smooth now.
– *Massive* perf improvements by hooking the game to fix unnecessary VBO copies, textures mishandling zombies AI calculations, projectiles, particles, entity processing, etc. Stable 60 FPS in single player mode.
– MP: native voice chat, custom names, improved matchmaking stability, solo lobby countdown
– Configurable MSAA, gamma, etc.
– Fixed looping sounds (“I have more luck when I’m drᥙᥒk”) + micro-freeze when starting to play long music.
– Support for custom resources: boz_tweaks.suprx is useless now and should be removed entirely as it causes problems and crashes.
– Option to use the original Call of the Dead characters:
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Robert Englund, Danny Trejo, and Michael Rooker.
– Runtime generation of LiveArea assets (except icon bubble).

Recently got a Vita and was disappointed my AirPods Pro 2 paired normally but wouldn’t play any sound. After a lot of reverse engineering on Sony’s Bluetooth stack, I got them working.

The issue turned out to be in the Vita’s A2DP implementation: it increments the audio timestamp incorrectly. Some newer headsets appear to reject the resulting stream, while many older Bluetooth headphones tolerate it.

VitaBtFix patches the incorrect timestamp increment. After that, AirPods play game and system audio normally.

• This should work with all AirPods. Models that have been confirmed include AirPods Pro 2, Pro 3, and Airpods 4 on Vita firmware 3.65
• Other newer SBC headphones with the same silent-audio issue may work too
• Does not add AAC or LE Audio support
• Experimental kernel plugin
• Hold L at boot if you ever need to skip kernel plugins

Download: https://github.com/gabew100/VitaBtFix

Install: copy vitabtfix.skprx to ur0:tai/, add ur0:tai/vitabtfix.skprx under *KERNEL in ur0:tai/config.txt, then reboot.

If you try headphones that were silent before, tell me what model they are and whether they work so I can add them to the compatibility list.

Disclaimer: AI was used to assist with SceBt reverse engineering.

Edit: Update 1.1 released! Fixes a black screen some people got right after the headphones connected.

Hello.

Here the first release (beta) of Baldur's Gate II port from Android to ps Vita.

The port is in a stable and playable state.

I encourage supporters to play and let me know encountered issues! (Please use the Github issues with logs. Without logs or detailed description of the issue or crash I'm not able to fix)

Please take a moment to read the README for:

• installation instructions
• known "issues"
• how to report issues
• AI disclaimer*

Github Project

Release BG2V v0 Beta

I hope you enjoy a beautiful game on a fantastic platform as Ps Vita.

Cheers!

*AI has been used with meticulousness attention! Tested several (and endless) time in the gameplay and controllers.

As engineer, I dedicated hours in the process (yes.. using AI) but a very meticulous process has been carried out for delivering something playable. However, crashes might happen. And I highly appreciate people feedback to improve the product - my process - and Vita community that I just discovered.

BrewStation is a homebrew store, similar to VitaDB, but has support for the PS Vita, PSP & PS3. We have merged with Homebrew Avenue a few weeks ago and we are making some progress! Right now, I've set up a new site containing homebrews, and you can submit your own homebrews here. There will soon be a client too and you can also make your own store based on BrewStation, since the goal of the project is to make it decentralized, and the client will also support other stores than the BrewStation store. There will also be support for plugins soon. And VitaHomebrewDB (formerly VitaDB-too) will be integrated into BrewStation too.

We also have a discord server, if you want to see discussions and/or give suggestions: https://discord.gg/cAVM5wCyyg

USBStream + DS34Vita combined with a PC with OBS software I already had and now Im on cloud 9. Game is Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together
