Hello, after years of being a lurker (probably around 14 years!!!), I finally decided to create an account. I always look up to this site for tutorials when it comes to console devices ( including homebrews, mods, tips, etc. ).

I am a software engineer by title but I also love hardwares. I casually repair/break phones, consoles and handhelds. I currently own steam deck, ds, dslite, dsi and psp. Planning to get swich or PSVITA soooonest. I play mostly on my deck but I love classics more ( installed batocera on my deck :D ). My goal is to have atleast one of every game console/handheld ever made.

I already learned a lot from this forum so I hope i can contribute soon :).

Welcome to GBATemp!

Wow, you have one heck of a collection of portable consoles! Depending on your preference, the Vita is going to be a better choice. The Switch is a great console, don't get me wrong. The issue it seems to have is that the older games aren't ported to it properly and many of them don't play adequately. The ones that do are amazing to play, but here I am with 80 installed games and 20 of them being ports that play difficultly or slowly.

If the point of the console is to not only play the games designed for it but also older games on consoles older than it, the Vita does it quite more adequately right now. Also, hacking a v2/OLED Switch isn't impossible, but its not easy either. The Vita can get tanked quickly and its cheaper to do, making it the choice. Plus, a PSP plus a Vita? Totally worth it.

Hello @proguramu and welcome to GBATemp! :toot:
Nice collection btw, love the handhelds.. Missing a few essentials (consoles) tho, like PS2 & OG Xbox.
Just waiting for a nice deal for those units. Thanks 😁


Hello cheers~

Thanks~ 😁

Yo Thanks for the input 😁.The goal for the consoles is to play whatever titles created for it since I already have my emulations on SteamDeck ( through batocera ) with the exception of ds games. Gravity rush / persona 4 golden / uncharted Golden abyss for psvita and maybe zelda TOTk and BOTW on switch.

As for hacking, im both aware on how to mod/jb those units since I casually mod/jb consoles. Though I dont have actual soldering experience with switches. I agree that it is both expensive and hard so, If I will get one, probably an OLED already JB and dual boot. For Psvita definitely the slim model since I am seeing many "gpu crashing error" on FAT vitas after jb.

My only limiting factor is the price for value. Consoles, even the older ones, are becoming expensive these days. 😅

welcome welcome welcome!
Thanks thanks thanks 😁

    Into a state of disrepair

    hello
  • K @ klonoa02:
    anyone knows how I can abort the emuMMC creation process on Hekate? my SD card is false and it will take forever to finish this process
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @klonoa02, sorry, ask in the forums, I can't help
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @klonoa02, Not sure if that will hurt your Nand or not, not wise to use fake SD cards, or not check them beforehand with app like H2testw. I'd let it finish personally, or attempt to.
  • K @ klonoa02:
    oh thats so sadge :(
    Its taking literally 1 hour+ for each 1% :wacko:
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Do you have a backup of your Nand already? It will be about 32gb.
  • False_Hope @ False_Hope:
    if the sd card is false then it might not hold more than 2gb

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If you have a Nand backup then I'd say go ahead n stop it, or power off the switch, at worse you can rewrite your backup Nand back if it messed anything up.
