Have wanted this one on the Vita since 2012.
Here it is so far.

Been working on this for the past few weeks…Claude has helped make some serious stuff happen but there’s still a lot of work to do…

The first week was a lot of trial and error and sitting at my computer trying to get anything on the engine to run…

Cluade and I have been coming up with the brains for this port…such as: compressed ram for possible optimization, hot path rerouting, LLVM, and pre baking assets and MUCH more…

I’m please to tell you that test runs have it as high as 19fps on the menu and the physics engine is under weigh now…

Still, I’ve got a long roadmap ahead and am going to in consistently post about this build, I also don’t have a timeframe but I’m also super proud and exited about this build…

It’s amazing how easy it has been to move a 32bit game to 64…it’s the opposite for a 64bit arm build to run on a 32bit (arm 7 chip), but with some time and work this could be something great…

The unity engine on the vita is extremely outdated, so cluade and I built a custom engine translator (Called Shepard) that will be open source and available for free eventually for for dot.net runtimes…

Some things that go without day: youll need a computer (windows, Mac or Linux) to install the repack app which brings me to the second thing…you will need to own the game on a major platform like steam to be able to download the files…the translators are what make this build possible, you supply the legit purchased game…

Give me some time as I’ve got a lot of tricks up my sleeve to get this port working and need to run tests and compare logs and runtimes to see if improvements have been made…

The roadmap: full game, full quality where possible, updates and more improvements if we can get to it…then DLCs and finally co-op which I’ve got some major ideas for but that’s last…

I’ve got a whole plan and it’s just taking cluade a while to get it right but don’t worry because I’m not ghosting this port and even better it will be something I support for as long as necessary to ensure it works well…

Ah yes, one more thing…please if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say it…I’m not stopping this port because someone online hates ai…I’m not claiming to be well rounded in older code or systems but I’m learning what I can and not just prompting “fix it” repeatedly…so keep that in mind…thank you😊

Used the code from the old port from TechnicalJicama4 as a starting point. (https://github.com/technicaljicama/duck-psv)

Not gonna lie, this newer version is vibe coded.
Still ironing out some bugs.

I never thought I would see nights into dreams running on my vita but it runs so well!! Other than the audio being horrible and incredibly crunchy it's amazing. I'm so impressed to see the Sega saturn games running on vita when everyone said it would be impossible!

Today SandstoneDEV has published his PS2-TO-PSP AI agents skill-forwarders to simplify AI agents in porting PS2 Titles to PSP.

Which means it should be easier to port PS2 games onto PSP (or Adrenaline) and with some thinkering it can be used for VITA too.

I think the last quarter of the year is going to be wild for the both communities.

EDIT1: Thanks to EukaryotaSynth since he has created another AI skill simplyfier specifically for a VITA - POST HERE.

I am working on a clone of CS 1.6 running on the Unity engine, focused on the PSVita platform but with cross-platform support for PC and Android. The first test showed a good result, the de_dust2 map has 4 bots and 2 live players (pc and playstation) for a total of 6 players on the map. Fps is kept at 30-35, if you play 1x1, 2x2, then 50-60 fps. Implemented modes: classic match (bomb), deadmatch, team deadmatch and arms race.

A homebrew game called "Orbis Minor" lets you explore planets, roam through space, and fight enemy ships. It's pretty cool and fun to play, it reminds me of No Man's Sky.

I've recently learned Halo CE is now playable on my Vita.

Anybody willing to hold my hand through installing it?

Also, I'm super new to to Vita landscape and am having a lot of difficulty finding all the games I want to play on it.

I always carry my PSP on me and recently have been trying to show my Vita some love.

Ironically all I want to play on it is PSP titles 😅

Pkg doesn't have even close to the majority of PSP titles.

Where else can I look?

I wanna do it without a laptop.

I've been working on porting my favorite flash game CactusMcCoy for a while now. After the latest release of the Flash Emulator I paused for a bit, but as this game runs at a max of 4 fps (7 if overclocked) I figured might as well continue.

In the current state there are all worlds and rooms are connected seamlessly and it's running at a stable 60 fps.

Hey everyone!

I've just released the first public beta of VitaGram, an unofficial Telegram client for PS Vita!

It supports chats, group's, channels, photos, stickers, GIFs, voice messages, video notes, and more. There's also support for multiple languages, themes, proxies, and optional local data encryption.

The app is built with VitaSDK and TDLib, with AI assistance during development.

It's still a beta, so expect some bugs and limitations. I'd really appreciate any feedback or bug reports!

Agent skill for PS Vita port work. A public, MIT-licensed repo that turns the port workflow into steps an AI coding agent can follow, from feasibility check to VPK packaging.

What the skill covers

- Six port routes: native VitaSDK, vitaGL, cross-platform API emulation, Android .so loading, Java/TeaVM, and static recompilation

- Toolchain setup, including VitaSDK-softfp for Android .so ports

- Memory budget, heap and stack sizing, thread-to-core mapping

- OpenGL to vitaGL shader conversion and shader caching

- LiveArea packaging and VPK validation (title ID, SELF header, icon checks)

- Debugging through Vita3K, vitacompanion, and vita-parse-core

- Nine reference docs with code patterns pulled from real ports

Where the material came from

- mkwiita — the API-emulation layer, thread/priority mapping, TEV-to-GLSL shader generation

- soloader-boilerplate and Android2Vita-Candidate-Ports-List — the .so loader route, symbol tables, kubridge hooking

- Community research for the static-recomp route — Conker's Bad Fur Day and the Binding of Isaac recomp, both verified in October 2026

What it is not

It is documentation, not code that ports a game for you. The agent still does the work. The skill stops it from missing the steps that break ports: shader dialect, memory budget, title ID, ABI choice.

Two honest notes

- No single Vita-port masterlist exists. The skill's search step points agents at GitHub topics and release threads instead of a fake index.

- As of October 2026 there is still no GZDoom-vita. The skill states this rather than inventing a route.

Hello everyone! I own a PS vita Slim for almost a year now and I want to upgrade my storage, I already purchases a SD2Vita card but the SD cards that I insert in them usually don't work. Do I need to get a specific kind of SD from a expecific brand?

I really want to download more games, I have only 7GB and I must constantly uninstall one game or two if I want to download something new.

(Sorry if I put it as Discussion I barely know how to use Reddit)

First release of PCSX AwO is up for download: https://www.rinnegatamante.eu/vitadb/#/info/1622

PCSX AwO is a fork of PCSX that features native Vita internal resolution, MSAA 4x, frame generation, post-processing shaders and many more features.

Don't expect a wide coverage from High Octane renderer yet.

Vita IPTV is a native IPTV player for the PS Vita / PS TV (HENkaku / Ensō). It plays your own M3U playlists and Xtream accounts (live TV, films, series, radio) through the Vita's hardware H.264 decoder, up to 1080p, with built-in HTTPS.

Download: https://github.com/emrhky/VitaIPTV/releases

What's new since 0.2.2

• Choose the picture size on HLS channels with several qualities:
  • Channels open at 540p (the Vita's own screen size) when the channel offers it, otherwise 720p.
  • Settings > Preferred resolution: Automatic / 1080p / 720p / 540p / 480p / Lowest.
  • Select while watching lists the channel's sizes (stream analysis is at the bottom of that list).
  • Square steps to the next size up and wraps around to the smallest.
• Smoother live TV: on a slow connection the player buffers instead of freezing or losing sync. The sound starts with the first picture and waits briefly if the picture falls behind. On a slow line it steps down to a smaller size by itself, unless you chose one.
• 720p at 50/60 fps plays through the HD decoder (before: about 85% of frames).
• 1080p at 50/60 fps: the Vita's decoder manages about 30 fps at 1080p. Such streams now play at a lower frame rate in sync with the sound, and HLS channels switch to 720p.
• Films:
  • Jumping is much faster, because the index is kept in memory.
  • Files no longer freeze in their last seconds.
  • Black bars around the picture.
• More channels play:
  • "AAC Main" audio now has sound.
  • Many 720p channels that showed no picture now work.
• Triangle info: shown/stream fps, A/V offset, and connection speed against what the stream needs.

Vita IPTV is only a player: it does not include or point to any channels or playlists. It was developed with the help of AI (Anthropic's Claude) and tested on a real Vita. It is a hobby project, provided as is.

Hey everyone!

Wolff here again!

Since I've been banned from VitaDB and the Zealous Chuck and Vita Nueva Discord servers, I figured I'd share the updates here instead...

I thought it'd be nice to give you guys a little overview of the projects I've been working on for the PS Vita, how they started, what's changed over time, and where things stand now.

Starting with tools...

My first PS Vita project was FMVita (File Manager Vita), a fork of VitaShell that brings together features and improvements from several other forks (with proper credits to the original devs, of course).

The idea was to give the good old VitaShell a more modern and user-friendly interface, with touchscreen support and some quality-of-life improvements.

Moving on to games...

My first actual game port was The Case of the Golden Idol, a really interesting puzzle/mystery game released in 2022.

It was originally developed in Godot 3.x and later recreated in Unity. Interestingly, the original Godot version is what made the Vita port possible.

After that, I worked on a few other projects, including MOTHER Encore and PillowFight (which I never released because I couldn't get it to run properly on the Vita, lol).

I also worked with Rocrovers on an Endoparasitic port at one point. We actually got a playable build running, but performance in certain rooms was pretty bad due to limitations of SonicMastr's Godot Vita port, so we never released it.

Pretty much the same story with Dome Keeper. There's a technically playable build, but it still suffers from several issues related to those same engine limitations.

Then came GameMaker...

After spending some time with Godot, I started experimenting with GameMaker, mainly using Butterscotch as the runner.

That eventually led to some of my more recent and advanced projects:

Deltarune (Chapters 1–5)

• After v0.73, I spent quite a bit of time getting Modern-GL fully working with shader support. Unfortunately, I kept running into some pretty unpredictable GPU crashes. I also experimented with an alternative renderer (Experimental-GL), but that had its own crashing issues too. So I decided to start a separate fork of DeltaruneVita using the Vita's native GXM API directly, bypassing the VitaGL layer entirely. Still very experimental, but I'm hoping this approach will improve stability and performance.

Undertale Yellow

• v0.2 is currently undergoing internal testing on my Wolff's Room Discord. It's already playable, although there are still a few issues I need to sort out before a public release.

Void Stranger

• Probably my most polished GameMaker port so far, largely thanks to distheusurper2, who helped a ton with testing and detailed bug reports. I'm planning one final release with the completed manual in both English and Brazilian Portuguese, along with a showcase video.

Pizza Tower

• This one's also still in internal testing on my Wolff's Room Discord. It's technically playable at this point, but there are still some pretty significant FPS drops. I'm considering moving from VitaGL to native GXM here as well, depending on how things turn out with the DeltaruneVita fork. Hopefully, that could help with performance.

I've also experimented with Cocos2d-x, including ports of The House 1 & 2, and more recently started working on Ao Oni 1. Haven't had much luck with that one yet, though.

(PS: Yeah... I tried porting No, I'm Not Human to the PS Vita, but I put the project on hold due to the extreme difficulty involved. There is already a playable build, featuring the menu and the first night, but 3D environment performance on the actual Vita is pretty dismal; it is playable on Vita3K, though xD)

And now... Godot 4.X on the PS Vita!

A few months ago, I started what has probably been one of my biggest projects so far: bringing Godot 4.x to the PS Vita.

After roughly three months of work, I'm finally starting to see some results!

The first two games I've been using to test the engine are:

• Dodge the Creeps
  • A very simple game, mainly used to validate whether Godot 4.x could actually run on the Vita. It's been a useful test for rendering, audio, controls, and other basic engine features.
• Ambidextro Vita
  • This one's a bit more interesting. It's already somewhat playable on the Vita, although I'm still working on performance improvements and a few finishing touches.

Besides porting games, I've also spent quite a bit of time making the engine itself more practical to use on the Vita.

For example, I've added a default LiveArea asset structure and a selection of LiveArea previews, making it easier to customize the game's appearance on the Vita without having to organize everything manually.

It's a small thing, but I wanted the experience to be a bit more convenient compared to working with the older Godot 3.x Vita port.

The engine is still experimental, and there's definitely a lot left to improve, especially when it comes to performance and compatibility. But getting actual Godot 4 games running on real Vita hardware is already a pretty exciting milestone for me.

What comes next?

One of the reasons I've been so interested in getting Godot 4.x working is the number of indie games built with it.

Godot is also relatively approachable to work with, including when using AI-assisted development, which has been helpful while experimenting with the engine and adapting it to the Vita.

Of course, this doesn't mean every Godot 4 game will suddenly work on the Vita. Hardware limitations are still very real, and each game will need its own adjustments and optimizations.

Still, I think this could open up some interesting possibilities for future ports.

If you're curious about games made with Godot, these are worth checking out:

Games made with Godot on itch.io

Official Godot Showcase

And for anyone interested in the engines themselves:

• Godot 3.x Vita port by SonicMastr
• My experimental Godot 4 Vita port
• Original Godot Engine

Anyway, that's a little overview of what I've been working on lately. Some projects turned out better than others, some are still unfinished, and a few have been quite a headache, lol.

But it's been a fun learning experience, and there's still plenty I'd like to try.

Unfortunately, you might never see any of my projects on VitaDB, but my Discord and GitHub will always be kept up to date.

Soon, I’ll also be making my website and YouTube channel more active.

Thanks to everyone who's been following these projects, testing builds, reporting bugs, or just showing interest. I really appreciate it!

Hopefully, there's more to come!

OT:

I am happy about the announcements I’ve seen recently and pleased to have advocated for the responsible use of AI to bring about new developments and overcome the imaginary barriers that once existed in the PS Vita homebrew scene (a year ago, no one imagined a good DS emulator, the existence of a 3DS emulator, or GameCube and Wii ports on the Vita...).

I still see a lot of criticism regarding this within the Vita community, but I hope people stop being toxic and start being productive instead. If you didn't like a project that used AI, why not do it yourself without it?

Edit 1:

Added the GitHub repository link (https://github.com/WolffsRoom/Ambidextro-Vita) for the Ambidextro-Vita project.

I'm not sure how to start a bounty. all time favorite games

Hi everyone, I just wanted to show you all something I've been working on. Hope you like it.

sorry about my guy voice still doing voice training I've been working super hard lately and I wanted to show you all my progress!! Expect the private server build sometime next week and the singleplayer build sometime within the month the goal is to be able to switch between single player and online mode with just a tap :3 any questions feel free to hmu and ask away. Ooooo I forgot to mention you can tap square to disable the fps counter and whenever you're in dialogue you can use the vitas dpad to select dialogue and use x to continue :3 huge update: I'm adding the skillcapes and fire cape and all the content up to 2007 so we will have skill tutors tzhaar fight caves, and all matching emotes plus I'm also adding all the newer events like the drill Sargent and frog princes zombie dance etc it's basically RuneScape 2 before the graphic and UI update that started moving towards the rs3 graphics

After struggling to optimize borderlands online, I had the crazy idea of using REA to assist in porting incremental gc to 2018.2.19f1, after several hours of monitoring claude and helping steer, It was able to enable the disabled settings for incremental gc in the il2cpp.exe and made a wrapper for it. (and a bunch of other technical things that will be on the github)

then Kane gave me the idea to see if we can force a dev build to run on a retail and that worked, then i had it combine libperf and shim it so unity reads the data and displays it.

next im gonna see if i can shim the gpu profilier then we will have full dev kit profiling on a retail.

i plan to release all of this on github with instructions within the next week or so (i work alot).

Has anyone been able to replicate this?

https://www.reddit.com/r/vitahacks/s/kXWPQgU1rF

I’m trying to figure out a way to enable L2+R2 capabilities without using a grip / still keeping it portable.

I came across this post and it seems to work. I tried it last night and while I was able to get L2 and R2 to work by tapping the foil tape where I placed it. The input just doesn’t seem to stay for some reason.

Was wondering if anyone had success with this or found an alternative solution without the use of a grip / case.

End of the day I just want to keep the Vita portable.

Finally figured out how to make bubbles for my emulated games! I made custom bubbles for them all and wanted to show them off. As a big fan of Klonoa it's so great how many I can play on my vita! Hoping for a port of Klonoa 2 someday to finish off my collection ✨

Adding, I also have Klonoa heroes but I forgot to make a bubble for it! I'll update tomorrow 💞

Hey All,

I finally am ready to showcase some snippets of one of the largest projects I've ever worked on. 

The project is titled OpenSKY and is a TES V converter engine for the PS Vita. The video attached shows a run through of Bleak Falls Barrow and also being north of White Run fighting a dragon. 

I do project management during the day, which helped in large portions to get Skyrim broken down to twelve totals milestones for AI to help assist with the coding structure.

Foundational Milestons:
1) converter: reads Skyrim special edition files and exports terrian, models, textures, animations and voices & quests.
2) custom engine running via Vita GL's backend.
3) open world streaming: TES V intro scene with alduin, walk from helgen to Riverwood, and bleak falls burrow. 
4) interioirs, doors, & dungeons
5) save profiling, loading profiles, & title screen with new game/continue.
6) compass and directional markers 

World & Characters:
1) NPCs with Skyrim's faces, outfits, daily ai scheduling (i,.e the paths they take), and voiceover dialogue.
2) creatures and enemies: Wolves, bears, spiders, draugrs, bandits, dragons, giants, mammoths, & skeevers.
3) day & night cycle, as well as weather scheduling
4) world map and local maps of each location (only within the square shown in the video thus far)

Gameplay systems:
1) melee, archery, blocking and sneaking
2) magic and shouts
3) inventory, equipment, looting and bartering with merchants.
4) skills, leveling, & classic perk tree with a spin.
5) smithing, alchemy, & enchanting
6) lockpicking
7) racial abilities & powers

Character creation:
1) all ten races and their race effects
2) Male & female characters
3) limited customability right now (more on this below)

Main quest opening:
1) wagon ride into Helgen
2) the lineup, Lokir's execution, & "who are you"? Scene.
3) the execution scene and alduin landing
4) Escape through the tower
5) the Ralof (stormcloak) or Hadvar (imoerial) choice.
6) helgen keep and full exit

WHAT IS LEFT (Note: A sh*t ton):
1) polish on the opening scenes and storyline.
2) WhiteRun, Dragons reach, & Bleak Falls Barrow as quest content.
3) The first dragon fight as a scripted quest and absorbing it's soul (I.e. the classic "you're a dragon born" scene).
4) the rest of the main quest with the greybeards etc.
5) side quests and factions.
6) the rest of the map beyond the starting region, so 70% unfinished on the sheer scope of the world.
7) performance and visual tuning.
8) adding shouts to walls and "learning words from them". 
9) No DLC is added as of present.

Important note: you must own your own copy of the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition in order to use this converter mod and custom engine.

https://github.com/Barabbo/source-engine/releases/tag/v0.1.0-beta

After two years of development, I'm finally releasing the first public open beta of my Half-Life 2 port for PS Vita.

**Backstory (short version):** I grew up wanting HL2 in my pocket. Years later I tried the Android port on Vita via a pickup — it technically worked, but it wasn't the same. I always wondered why Sony never did this officially (probably the old Sony/Valve friction). So I decided to do it myself.

The first 3 months were a dead end — I tried adapting the Android build for Vita, but it just wouldn't compile for that environment. The real start came when nillerusr's GPL fork of the Source Engine source code became available. From there it was built piece by piece, starting with a hand-written memory allocator, through two years of crashes, a RAM crisis, and a very stubborn multicore implementation.

**Current state:**

- Multicore is stable

- Dynamic lights and soft shadow maps working

- Game is playable start to finish

**Known issues:**

- Audio: partially/not working

- Possible frame rate drops in crowded areas

- Occasional geometry artifacts in open levels

- Some scripted sequences may fail to complete correctly

**Requirements:**

- PS Vita with custom firmware (HENkaku/enso or h-encore)

- A legally owned copy of Half-Life 2 (game files must be copied to your SD card — not included)
