Is running the Vita as a PS2 Emulator possible yet?

I haven't kept up with the CFW progress on the Vita.

Won't be possible.
Vita isn't powerful enough to run PS2 games at a playable speed.
There are some PSP ports of PS2 games so that's something at least for him.

Medievil Resurrection's a remake of the PS1 Medievil game and I read that the camera's not very good on the PSP version but I wonder if the second analogue stick on Vita/DS3/DS4 will change that. Possibly not as it wasn't programmed to.

That would be sweet. I too was hoping the Vita would have been a portable ps2. It seems as though Sony would rather it wouldn't exist, which is a real bummer.

Hope is not lost completely lost though, I remember reading that it would be possible to play Dreamcast games at full speed on the Vita.

Well the ps1 and anything older, can go 100% speed + save states and etc on the vita.

We just need to crack the vita open, then after that a few months we will have a lot of emulators around

Given how bad the overhead on PS2 emulation is on PC, I doubt there's a way portable devices can emulate a PS2 any time soon.
What do you mean? Ps2 emulation isn't bad on computers. I doubt the Vita would be able to emulate a PS2 at playable speeds but the way phones keeping evolving I wouldn't be surprised if we see an emulator on Android like we have Dolphin.

I guess I am meaning more along the lines of something like Persona 4 Golden. The games only suffered a slight bit being crammed into the Vita. I wish we would see more like that.

Well i use pcsx2 all the time and it runs like a charm on my pc , i don't think its bad ... Its a really good ps2 emulator .
As for the vita , i know its a powerful device but i don't think running ps2 games on it is possible yet , idk.
There is a ps2 emulator called "Play!" in development for android/ios , if a hacker or a programmer could port it to the vita i think its going to work , i mean if they work on phones why not on the vita ?

    @K3Nv2 what was your ps4 situation
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    did you always have a ps4 you never updated

    or were you able to get new ps4 tracking it \
    as soon as the hack was announced
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or did you have to find a used one with the lower firm ware that was not updated
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I got this ps4 at launch and never updated since 9.0
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You got a good chance of buying a used one and asking the seller how often they used or even ask for a Pic of fw and telling them not to update

    Speaking of PLaystation. I see Evilnat put out a beta for PS3 CFW 4.91.2 on the 22nd.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.

    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Thats true, personally I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I play most games that are on both PS3/360 strickly on the 360, but PS3 exclusives are really only games I play on the PS3 (You know me, I'm more of a Xbox junkie)
