>bought a vita because Yas Forums kept telling me that the PS1 emulation was flawless >first game I try is Valkyrie Profile >game freezes after intro cutscene >no way to fix the random freezes, even if I bypass it with a save state
>Yas Forums tricked me again Why do you keep falling for the memes, dude? There's a reason the Vita sold poorly (besides the ridiculous pricing, low battery life and expensive proprietary memory cards).
John Davis
How do you run it?
Caleb Jenkins
>believing strangers without doing your own research
Parker Fisher
You obviously did something wrong.
Colton Nelson
It's blurry as shit since the backgrounds are stretched to fit the PSP's screen and it also lacks some fixes from the PS1 version because japanese devs are insane
Adrenaline It's a common problem apparently
Samuel Young
All this shit is a fucking meme from poorniggers.
Jason Hill
Try Euro version
Noah Nelson
it's because of how the audio track seperates the first scene, and another one later. i assume mednafen will load it properly on vita.
PS1 isn’t flawless but it’s close because the PSP CPU is compatible with the instruction set of the PS1 CPU. The Vita includes one of the PSP CPUs but not the media engine 2nd CPU which is emulated (not sure if it was even utilized by PS1). There is still partial emulation involved and this is what can cause compatibility issues
Alexander Reed
The Media Engine CPU in the PSP was used to emulate PS1 audio. The Vita presumably emulates it on the Vita-mode ARM CPU.
Owen Wood
>PS1 isn’t flawless but it’s close because the PSP CPU is compatible with the instruction set of the PS1 CPU. That isn't enough. The PSP still has to do dynamic recompilation. Dynamic compilation is just way easier to do when the target and source arch are similar. The PSP experiences the same incompatibilities with PS1 games as the Vita because they use the same emulation technique. PSP has access to POPStarter, though.
Gabriel Jackson
I'm going to give it a shot and let you know what I get on my end.
Jaxson Perez
psp/ps1 emulation on vita is not flawless because you can't play rhythm games with the massive input lag
Jonathan Sanchez
why would you emulate PS1 titles on Vita? I have a vita and i use that shit for vita/psp games (50+backlog on those combined).
I have had a lot more damn comfort emulating ps1 games on my pc, especially with the aspect ratio
Daniel Wright
Rock Band Unplugged works just fine for me.
Aaron Edwards
>why would you emulate PS1 titles on Vita? Comfy Sweet d-pad Potato PC because I wasted my money buying shitty handhelds
Gavin Parker
I've literally played hundreds of PS1 games on the Vita and the only 2 I've ever been unable to get to work are VP and DQVII, I think they're both issues that could be resolved with proper popsloader support in adrenaline.
Isaiah Thomas
Was thinking of buying this shit. Thanks OP, will buy a ps4 instead.
Austin Green
Adrenaline isn't flawless. Some games has game breaking glitches without popsloader. What's popsloader you ask? Certain psp firmware has different psx emulator version. Some version runs games well some breaks the game. Without the popsloader you're basically fucked.
Here's the compatibility list if you want. It only works on the psp by the way.
Also, why the fuck are you playing the psx version? There's a psp version of VP.
Ryder Price
I'm talking about more strict games like project diva or taiko no tatsujin
Gabriel Johnson
>PAL shit ew
Kayden James
what's wrong with pal nowadays? I thought games run at 60 fps now
Justin Ross
buy a psp. cheap as fuck. easy to mod.
Jason Scott
The Vita is a better PSP.
Gave it a go from a redump verified dump. Didn't even get it to boot the PS logo. Might have fucked up in the EBOOT conversion but I don't have time to give it another go.
Kevin Fisher
>cheap as fuck The vita and the PSP cost the same shit on my local CEX. Also, vita apologists said that that the vita is literally a PSP with adrenaline (except not really because popsloader only works on the PSP)
Chase Sanders
kek, it plays perfectly on a N3DS.
Ryder Roberts
>The Vita is a better PSP. no it isn't. I have both and PSP/PS1 games look and play better on PSP.
Thomas Harris
..... But I you only wanna play JRPG it doesn't care I guess
Camden Hill
I have both also and you're full of shit. Perhaps you don't use the correct bilinear scaler.
Tyler Sanchez
There's no good way to make PSP games look good on the Vita. All scaling filters are awful, and using nearest neighbour is shit because the increased pixel density makes it look more aliased.
Dominic Edwards
>bilinear scaler I think games still look blurry as fuck, is there a way to upscale ps1 and psp?
Xavier Harris
>Adrenaline >emulates a PSP >But doesn't have POPsloader For what purpose?
Zachary Sanders
It doesn't emulate a PSP, it is a PSP in hardware. But the hardware is slightly different, namely it is missing the ME coprocessor. Most games don't use it or only use it through a high level API so the Vita can happily emulate that part of the system. POPS and a few other homebrews use it directly, though, so you can't run those homebrews. Vita has its own POPS which is modified slightly, but this means that PSP versions of POPS won't work.
Samuel Lewis
Have you noticed how bad the Vita screen’s conditions are? People are fucking animals
Brandon Gomez
I'm using "Sharp bilinear" and it looks fine. Also, leave PS1 games at Original not Normal. This keeps it a perfect integer scale.
