r/vita

Start button on my Vita 1000 stopped responding after a couple of months of laying around. I opened it up and funny enough after applying some contact cleaner to the board it started working again, but only for a couple of hours. Every other button on that board including select is working great, and i already ordered a new board (plus ribbon cable), but what seems to be the problem here? Board looking fine, no corrosion or anything, plus cleaner does help, even if for a short time. Maybe it's salvageable, what do you think?

P.S. While looking for a spare parts i saw a comment about how every marketplace board is sold without an isolation for the speakers. I made sure to choose the one with isolation included, but is it a big deal?

Hi all,

I'm a product of 1980's gaming and remember playing a game on the Commodore-64 called Boulderdash.

I'm open to more modern versions of it and searched to see if it was available in any form on the PS Vita.

No such luck, it seems.

I was hoping a version of it could be installed/played natively (as opposed to running a version via an emulator) and found in my searches: Boulderdash 30th Anniversary Edition; and the more recent 40th Anniversary Edition, neither of which are available for the Vita.

Question is, is there a version of Boulderdash available natively for the PS Vita that I'm missing, or could the mobile anniversary edition(s) be ported to the Vita?

...Or is it just wishful thinking and I may aswell forget the whole thing?

Many thanks in advance.

Looking to buy an OLED Vita and unfortunately the market for it my area is terrible. People are selling their grimey, scratched up, burned in Vitas for upwards of $250 CAD. After negotiating with a few of them I decided that eBay will be less of a headache. However, I would like some input if any of you have experience with these sellers. Specifically the Japanese sellers as their listings are a lot more affordable.

I was about to pull the trigger on tokyotune's Vita, until I realized there are several other Japanese sellers also with great eBay reviews, that also cost just a little more which could maybe mean better condition.

If any of you have a seller you'd recommend, please let me know. I don't have much experience using eBay, so I'm not too sure on what to look out for when buying

Thanks guys

Sorry if this was posted before but I can't find a case that can carry the vita slim with the hori grips on. The most appealing case to me that was recommended in a previous thread was the RGS Amiibo traveler case but it's so old that can't find it anywhere (except eBay but it's over CAD $50 ....). Weird that I couldn't find it in the Japanese yahoo auctions.... Any recommendations? Thanks

I bought persona 3 and 5 dancing on the PS4 a while back and I've logged into PSN on my vita that I just bought. Im pretty sure that they can be played on vita I just don't know how I would download them onto it. Anyone know how this is done?

So i found out that ds lite's are incredibly cheap, and apparently ita very good, so i was wondering if i should sell my ps vita (originally bought for £120) to buy a ds lite for £60.

I'm no professional when it comes to these things but with the recent news of Steam working on ARM architecture support is it possible that we could start seeing more ports for lightweight steam games on the ps vita in the future ?

Hey guys, today i think i messed up my save, i tried to rename it and when it didn't rename i restarted the game. I continued playing like usual but then a few hours later when i went into the game again my world didn't have an icon and i couldn't enter it, though the name had been changed to what i had introduced previously. Is there a way to fix this? I had just beaten the ender dragon and just needed one more trophy for the plat :(

Hey all!

I made the ImageShare web app for sending images and videos to a modern device, which already has extensive support for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, including the ability to detect game titles from screenshots and save them to the image's metadata for search indexing.

I would like to add proper PlayStation Vita support to ImageShare, since the Vita's web browser also supports uploading files, including (hopefully) the same game title detection. However, I don't currently own one, so I need others to provide sample screenshots, photos, and camera recordings. Most of the ones I'm finding on Imgur and other sources have all the metadata stripped out.

I made a thread on the ImageShare repository with instructions for providing sample files (with the metadata preserved) and sharing them. The samples will be saved in the repository for anyone to use in the future for testing, and I'll make another post here if/when I roll out full Vita support.

I just added the usb-c mod to my vita and I'm looking to mod it some more. Was thinking I'd start by replacing the speakers as they don't sound the greatest. Problem is I don't know what speakers to use. Does anyone know what the best speakers that fit are?

Also any other mod ideas? Debating a shell swap or screen upgrade. I am scared to upgrade the battery since the software doesn't play nice with better batteries from what I hear.

I just need something that holds my vita around my belt preferably as I'm worried that having it in my pocket is going to cause stick drift.

I'm from sweden so please no recommendations from places with super high shipping costs.
