Support NeoGAF

[PropellerEar]

I still carry my PS Vita for travel.
Mainly play old RPGs like Tactics Ogre on it.

Switch is flimsy fall apart shit compared to Vita build quality.

Whilst there is some Vita love maybe someone can help?

My Vita has an old PSN log in of mine that doesnt log in - I've long since forgotten the password or even the email address it was registered to so cannot reset password but it also seems I cannot add / create a new PSN account? It always defaults to the one I cant remember?

My Vita also is modded but not soft-modded so the CFW is permanently on the system, I dont have to keep re-enabling it if that makes sense or any difference?

If I factory reset my Vita is that going to get rid of the CFW? And even if I did, will that allow me to create a new PSN?

Enzo / Enso I think the CFW is.

Love threads like this, I completely forgot about my Vita 1000, just pulled it out from storage, thanks OP.
Hacked it a few years back, gonna fill it up with PS1 classics to take to our Japan trip next month.

Bit dusty at your place I assume...

Love the vita, I have both models and the pstv, it's the last good thing PS put out before they became Soy-ny of Commiefornia

Kids these days just repeat le funny buzzwords from 4chan. Even you would need to understand that PS4 was released way before that.

Don't worry about it, you can always sign in with any other PSN account. Format it and softmod that with henkaku. Just careful linking it to your main psn account in case you want to play/link trophies for games you might not have purchased. To be honest, best keep disconnected from any PSN really.

I had a similar issue with mine once where my nephew logged into PSN on it. When I looked into it there was a homebrew app that lets you remove PSN accounts from the Vita, so I just used that and replaced his with my own. You should be able to do the same if the Vita is at least softmodded for homebrew. I'm at work at the moment so can't check my Vita to see if I still have it installed unfortunately

Thanks I did try that - Simple Account Switcher I think its what you are referring to?

I couldn't get it to work, when I went to the section my existing user name (that I can remember the password nor email for) was still there.

EDIT: and doing a search for it now just throws up loads of 404 errors or I'm not clever enough to look in the right places.

Having checked my Vita I still have the app installed that I used for my issue. The one which worked for me was the ONElua Account Manager

 

[R6Rider]

I still use mine occasionally. I regret not buying another one before they were discontinued.

Fantastic device.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Still have my Oled Vita. Haven’t used it in a while, but I love gaming on it when I do. Platinum’d Muramasa Rebirth on it plus all of its DLC and it was glorious. Mine is not modded or anything, just stock, but maybe I should look into that.

 

[nikos]

Still have my launch day Vita. Charged it last week after a friend picked one up. It's still a great device that was way ahead of its time.

It certainly helps by being able to use a SD card for starters.

 

[StereoVsn]

Yep, I love the device and have AssCreed white OLED and a nice blue 2000 series. Plus 2 Vita TVs (got second one like for $50 when they were clearing them out).

I haven’t been playing it much lately so need to dust it off and play some Muramasa or one of the numerous RPGs. SDCard mod is a must though as Vita larger memory cards are unreliable.

Sucks that emulation is still practically non existent for the Vita. I was actually tempted to buy one, but the prices are ridiculous.

Huh? You can play a good amount of systems on that thing.

 

[shaddam]

I still have a backlog on my original unhacked one, my other vita is hacked. Playing quake felt unreal (hehe)

I think he means emulating Vita on other devices, not emulators on vita.

Ah can be.
Without workarounds regarding the front/back touchscreen, the partially necessary camera integration and the motion sensor, I don't see much added value in emulating the Vita anyway.
With a DS4 or DS5 it could work and at least for the PSTV there are workarounds to play games like Uncharted and just skip the part with the camera implementation IIRC.
There's just something special about playing a real PS Vita game from the cartridge on a real Vita.
My hacked Vitas only run ports, PS1 and PSP games and not Vita games.

I haven't used my Vita for a while since I finished most of the backlog of Vita games years ago. I just went down the rabbit hole though and I was surprised to find there is a Dreamcast emulator out there now



Might boot it up to test it.

Since you're already knee deep in, have a look here.

 

[Redneckerz]

What's going wrong?

I honestly don't know. I have the PSTV set up so that it recognizes external files, but it doesn't install the suprx files needed to run most games. It also isn't bricked because i can do ENSO hen just fine.
