New game I made for playing Roblox rblx on PS Vita it works with most games from 2007 to 2013

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

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.

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.

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.

I left my Vita 2000 on for a week while not using it and it was somehow only on 40%.

Is it even possible? I don't understand what's the point of having worse slim sticks on the fat, except for the cheaper price. Is it even theoretically possible that we will get a converter from 1000 to 2000 or it will be just impossible to fit inside of the slim and will require more than a similar small converter? I'm making this post to get more people know about it and that such option exists.

So I've gotten back to playing my Vita and have been buying a few games. I only have a 32 Gb card and it's filling up quickly. I'm trying to get as many games in physical form as I can but I'd still like to get a 64 Gb card.

I've seen some on ebay for about 100 to 120 bucks in 64 Gb. Do you guys know if there's any tips when it comes to upgrading the storage? Scams to avoid? Places to look?

Thanks!

I just pulled out my Vita again after years of not using it. I downloaded some old games because the server is shutting down soon.

Game download and install speed is faster than Switch 2. Vita UI is so snappy and Intuitive. Everything feels right on the hands compared to other clunky and heavy handhelds.

PS Vita means life. It’s one of the best handheld devices ever made that’s actually portable and fit in the pocket!!

It had so many great games and the graphics honestly still holds up pretty well. I booted up Downwell just now that’s released in 2026 on the Vita. Kudos to Devolver Digital.

I am going to dive back into the nostalgic trip down to memory lane. Cheers everyone.

For the past few months there has been an issue where it's extremely hard to sync trophies on a new or reset/formatted PSVita. Seems like the more trophies you have, harder it is to do the initial sync. Currently trying to sync a new PS TV with not much luck. I have also tried on PSVita, but there it works even worse. Essentially, after about a minute or so I get error np-9857-9. If I try long enough it will eventually sync for a while. On some days it seems to work better. I was able to get to about 57% once.

I have tried everything at this point. Swapping memory cards, wifi, wired, restarting, pulling the cord, DMZ. Probably lost dozens of hours on this. If anyone is familiar with this error or knows how to somehow make connection more stable, please let me know! I am on original firmware. I have written more about it on PSNP. I was also able to sync another PSTV previously (with huge amount of trouble). But this time I don't have such luck.

Hello, here is a webpage where someone has kindly written up the complete PAL checklist for the vita https://psoarchive.neocities.org/collect/the_vita_r2_checklist.pdf.

However, it lists the Rayman double pack as its entry. Since they both got a separate physical release, should this be included. I remember someone posted what they thought was their own complete PAL psp collection. There were no double packs of previously released games, despite quite a few existing.

What do you guys think? If I go for a complete vita collection, should I include the Rayman double pack or not?

On a previous occasion, I checked Dishonored 2's control scheme and was pleasantly surprised to see how distinct it was. Not every game has a control scheme adjusted with elements from the game itself, a few look exactly like they used the exact same design template and called it a day.

Which makes this little surprise of the day quite pleasant.
