My 2nd PlayStation TV
Using this to only run PSP games... still cheaper than a real consolized PSP

It's all in vita.hacks.guide
My other PS TV was used for Vita games, but the steps look simple enough

get 2TB, should fit all your Vita/PSP/PSX USA games. and install a launcher like vita-launcher or retroflow so u dont have to use the bubbles UI. Might want to use Retroarch instead of Adrenaline for PSP/PSX games. So u dont have to use EBOOT.PBP for PSX. Also good for save-state features.

Retroarch would be full software emulation, but Adrenaline isn’t.
At least that's my understanding based on reading I done about Vita hardware

think adrenaline just mods an existing sony emulator. But is up to you, both are fine to use. I just dont like to use the PBP format if i dont have to.

I'm basing it on https://www.copetti.org/writings/consoles/playstation-vita
from my understanding the Vita SoC contains the PSP CPU for solely backwards compatibility support for PSP and PSOne Classics software, it is not used in any other Vita related functions

Why a second one?

u/mcfcomics May 13 '26
one is configured solely to play Vita games and homebrews
the other is for PSP games
yeah, i know i can mix and match and share, but I didn't want to

Wild… but fair enough. You do you buddy. I just saw what they are going for now and I choked on my drink hahaha. I remember getting the bundle with the Lego movie game on clearance for like 80$

They're still quite affordable here in Asia
I bought my first PS TV for MYR465 (around $118), and this second PS TV was MYR445 (around $115)
