toptenmaterial Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I was wondering if any of you guys have seen a modded Vita yet... what can it potentially do? Dreamcast? PS2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenegg Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm all for hacks to allow homebrew on devices, but I hope it's a LONG time before a hack is available to play copied games. It's already known that a lot of developers pretty much gave up on the PSP due to how hacks affected game sales. If such a hack comes out too early on the Vita, it would be a real shame. Don't expect Dreamcast emulation on the Vita. While it has a decent amount of power for a handheld, it doesn't have anywhere near the power needed to emulate this system. I also wouldn't expect very good PS2 emulation, unless they find a way to make use of the emulator Sony is rumoured to eventually release (through future PS2 Classics downloadable titles). Unlike the PSP's PS1 capabilities, which were built-in to the system, this could be more difficult on the Vita as the emulator might simply be bundled with each game. Emulators such as PCSX2 require more horsepower than the Vita has, unless they disable the emulation of some of the more resource intensive features.
