So if you have a CFW PSP what is the point of getting a vita to hack?
Well first off I can tell you just the hardware upgrade is better than any PSP I have owned. I have owned many (model# 1000,2000,3000) had them all modded the 1000's are just a heavy brick that have a poor quality screen when it comes to character models moving fast on screen... it has a ghosting effect. the 2000's were the best IMO best screen colors and light weight and powerful at the sametime ( being able to control that ghosting effect better) the 3000's with having to have Chick-HEN or whatever that semi-mod was well it was garbage. always freezing during iso/cso gameplay.
anyways I have a PSvita modded @FW 3.18 with 2 exploit games Tekken 2 (ps1loader) and Patapon2 (pspmenu/cfw/ecfw)
you can debate that the psp can do what the vita can (psp iso/cso....ps1 eboots)
BUT
When it comes down to having a portable PS1 in your pocket for all your 1990's classics. I choose the vita with the "Tekken 2 Ps1loader exploit"
other games exist
I say this because if you've owned a Modded PSP you all know how frustrating it can be to get that one custom EBOOT to load properly with sound and without freezing issues. and some can say the solution is in PoPS v etc etc..... well yes you may be right but then load a new game and you must change that PoPS V.x again. -_- pain in the ass. and if games work some have sound issues and freezing issues.
the PSvita with the Ps1 loader exploit supports 100% sound emulation.
I have tested these games from my collection so far that have 100% sound no weird noises or menu sound glitches etc:
Spyro the dragon (beaten 98% missed a few gems but I have gotten 100% in the past just played for nostalgia)
Spyro the dragon 2: rito's rage
Spyro the Dragon 3: Year of the Dragon
Silent Hill
Tomba
Crash Bandicoot
Megaman 8
Megaman X4
ChronoCross (although idk how disc swapping works but is is possible supposedly )
and I have many more I just haven't taken the time to create EBOOTS from them.
so IMO having a PSvita is worth it even if you have a modded PSP just because you get to play vita games too FFX-X2 remake

@Ralph1611 - if you need help feel free to PM or if I see a new post here ill help out as I've mentioned above I have a PSvita 3.18 Modded
I also have QCMA installed on my PC and can help you with the folder structure when it comes to installing games its not just click and drag.
you must make a folder structure ex. INSTALL.ZIP/PSP/GAME/xxxxxx then move it to the savedata folder that QCMA creates when it connects to your vita for the first time.
