I'm looking to buy one and have a few questions. I'd like to know if I can play a vita game and then "Turn it off" and resume right where I left off a few hours later
Too cool =D Another question: Does it have an internal battery of any kind? Like, can I unplug it from the wall while its suspended, bring it to a friends house and plug it up, and then resume? I doubt it but I thought I'd ask anyway lolYup.
Is a microconsole, not a portale mobile device, it does not have a battery. Is plug and play.Too cool =D Another question: Does it have an internal battery of any kind?

Yeah I understand that, but I thought it might have at least a small enough battery to save resume. Still awesome though =D I'm buying one as an emulation machine to compliment my Vita and to make it easier to play multiplayerIs a microconsole, not a portale mobile device, it does not have a battery.

No, but it's probably possible to mod it so you can power it off of a batteryToo cool =D Another question: Does it have an internal battery of any kind?

The PSTV is (As advertised) A microconsole capiable of ps4 remote play (Game streaming from ps4 akin to PS3 remote play) On demand video streaming services (Netflix, hulu, crackle etc..) And streaming ps3 games (From famous GAIKAI Cloud severs, with a paid subscription to playstation now. IS is not combined with playstation plus and much be purchased seperatly. You can buy subscription for access to all games available on server, rent games independtly or buy specific games and play. This is the only reason why multiple controllers are supported at the same time and has no other purpose for multiple controller support)
It also plays ps vita games from game card or download from PS store, but is limited to specific games (Obviously lacking touch screen, gryo controls, camera and other nesessary features) While it does emulate touch screen controls is not that great and some games can be played on it when updated and allowed. (Choices depends on if game is playable state, Uncharted golden abyss for example if you did a playthrough you would know why) Apperently there is a whitelist trick to allow all ps vita games to be played on the system. It will allow the game to run but still unplayable cause of nesessary vita requirements. You can only get so far. There also some psp and ps1 games that cannot be played on pstv (Must be downloaded fro ps store obviously) Even though for some reason i have castlevania dracula x on my vita it plays and works, while on pstv it doesn't allow me to play and ask me to update. (There is no update for psp games) So it simply won't play even when giving the option to download.
You can use touch screen emulation but it works with using analog to control the hands, (One for front touch screen one for rear touch pad) Unless you can master that then i wouldn't recommend it for casual players, is mostly for things like shortcuts if needed more stationary things. Not for real hard core rubbing and such.Most of the whitelist problems wont be an issue in the coming months. I'm pretty sure Pstv will eventually play any PSP or PS1 games that the vita will. Vita games will still be an issue due to no touch screens, gyro or camera though
Haha that's still touch screen issues xDYou can use touch screen emulation but it works with using analog to control the hands, (One for front touch screen one for rear touch pad) Unless you can master that then i wouldn't recommend it for casual players, is mostly for things like shortcuts if needed more stationary things.

If i can find the best way to describe it....Haha that's still touch screen issues xD
Oh I already knew what you meant lol Ive seen videos of people using it. That's still an issue thoughIf i can find the best way to describe it....
Is like when you play one of the on rails shooter game with the crosshair, like sin and punishment for N64 or Kid Icarus uprising, and you use the analog to aim the cursor crosshairs. Now imagine that with two analog sticks at the same time for both front touch screen and rear touch pad and also support pinch zoom and trying to do something silly like draw on the vita with no stylus but using analog sticks to rub, touch and such....
Did it make more sense now?
This. This is what scares me. I kinda wanna play Project Diva f on the big screen, but I need to swipe on the "touchscreen" to hit star notes. If the touchscreen emulation is poopy then I have no chance of having funYou can use touch screen emulation but it works with using analog to control the hands, (One for front touch screen one for rear touch pad) Unless you can master that then i wouldn't recommend it for casual players, is mostly for things like shortcuts if needed more stationary things.

Well i mean, is not like some wii u or 3ds, if your gonna play it, you can try it on PSTV but i wouldn't recommend it unless you can master the control. I usually avoid games that rely too much on touch screen cause then is not a game to me if i can't press any buttons.This. This is what scares me.
