EDIT: ended up getting a secondhand vita. Don't know my way around enough to get moonlight at this point...
So...as the thread title suggests, I don't currently have a vita and don't really care about it either. No offense to anyone, but it has zero games that spark my interest.
However, I've recently dabbled into streaming games and I do have a rig that supports it (meaning: I can stream to my shield tablet and "sort of" use my steam controller on it). But playing with a controller while having a tablet on my lap is all but convenient, and a regular laptop doesn't have a proper keyboard (and is also a bit too heavy).
So there's this moonlight-thing. Apparently, you can now use a vita to stream from your PC. And that sounds, at least in theory, interesting. I've recently rediscovered my wiiu and play it almost exclusively in off-tv mode (even if my girlfriend isn't watching TV). My PC and router are also directly next to it, so the distance is ideal. However...how well does this work? I've seen proof of concept video's of people streaming GTA V or mario kart 8 (cemu) to the thing, but how well does this really work? I've got hundreds of steam games that I want to play from my couch...can I do this? And more to the point: will this be worth it to buy a vita for at this point?
Also: can the vita be fully hacked, or does it require some fiddling each time you turn it on?
Probably worth mentioning: I do have a PSP that fits my emulation needs. If that scummvm emulator has touch controls it'll be nice to have, but I doubt I'll use it much (besides...those memory cards are still damn expensive)
Thanks for any replies. :-)
