So if I leave my pstv as is, if Sony blocks shop access on older firmware, can I take my card from my Vita, put it in my pstv, download whatever, and put the card back into my Vita?
No, if your card has been accessed by a version higher than the device you're using it with, you'll be forced to update to the corresponding firmware.

Caught in a loop of browser crash > restart > browser crash
Sometimes I see a 'Welcome to HENkaku!' popup and then the browser crashes again.
Bleah.

Hard restart of the vita cleared up the problem. So yay.

I really want to try this out, but with the capture card mod in my Vita and hundreds of dollars in digital games from PSN, I can't take the risk. I'll have to bum a Vita off a friend and try it on theirs, since they haven't built up a large investment on the platform like I have. How is the emulation on it so far? Is it worth doing, or is it not worth the trouble at the moment?

What? You realize it just came out today, right? It's going to take time for devs to write these homebrew apps.

We need RetroArch for Vita if it isn't already available!

Ugh, I will jump right in if they make NeoGeo or NeoGeo CD emulator. I spent countless hours on my PSP thanks to the NeoGeo CD emulator.

Well, I give up. Restarted a dozen times, cleared history, etc. Keep getting c2-12828-1 after the welcome message.

So, I guess I wait for retroarch to release something?
Anyone had any success with anything other then the shell install?

If this will be available and in a stable state, I will buy a Vita off eBay immediately.

Or, for the latest stable build:

I heard before that it's the wrong package and I still have to hear experiences about performance. I hope psx works well.
When in 444 MHz mode which closes down other system functions like wifi. In default 333 MHz mode it's actually less capable overall than the 800 MHz 4 core arm11 in n3DS.
hmm, speaking of 3ds i remember trying out some eshop SNES games on there recently. it looked so freakin good, best ive ever seen for an SNES game. a few people mentioned it was because of it's low-res screen being perfect for the SNES, you can do perfect 1:1.
guess i will compare vita side-by-side to it later tonight.

You are thinking of the PSP.
I made a directory called roms and stuck it in there along with the rom.

Does anyone know a simple way to make each .z7 file in your directory a single .zip file? :/

Had the same problem. what i did was close the browser on the error screen. make sure you don't have anything in notifications and turn off your check for software updates and turn off all the other auto-start apps (near,messages,etc). in power save settings, make sure low power mode is not checked.turn off your system and turn it back on again.just open the browser and it should load the go.henkaku.xyz site. click ok and it should work.
Nope, it's the Vita. CPU/GPU ended up being downclocked quite a bit; 333/111 MHz defaults respectively, ranged from 444/222 to 41/41 MHz.
When overclocked Vita's CPU still outperforms the n3DS CPU but you lose background functions.
Wow, shit, you're right. That's surprisingly low.

This just made me realize that I have a 8GB card sitting in a drawer. Guess I should clean that up and I can keep the other one loaded with other games.
Sony really screwed itself by keeping those memory card prices so damn high.
It's already had an initial port to the Vita but they need to update their toolchain to support the .vpk format. Also, only a few cores work currently (nes, snes and genesis cores I believe). I'm sure they'll get many more working with this new interest in Vita though.
Yeah, emulation will probably be pretty comparable between n3DS and Vita as a result. It really depends on how much effort the community sinks into it but 3DS in general has slowed to a crawl after the initial flurry of interest and then retroarch establishing itself as the go to.
I wonder if it's possible to overclock.
EDIT:
and if possible would official vita games run better?
