Is it wireless or bluetooth and does it work with other stuff like android, ps3, or something?

I dont know if is a dumb impossible request but...how about a Android emulator?...Pokemon go on the vita *¬*

It runs through an ftp client through wifi and its only for the pc, see I was going to buy a gamepad but this homebrew saved me money

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Well with only 6 buttons, good luck trying to play games that require 8

Another cool homebrew for the PSTV would be a Sixaxis enabler to enable motion controls on the Vita (as the Vita uses the same Sixaxis sensors as the Sixaxis and Dual Shock 3 iirc). That would be awesome for games like Gravity Rush as the gravity slide requires motion control.

I don't believe anyone has suggested this yet but Moonlight seems like a perfect fit on the Vita. I don't about the viability but considering Moonlight runs on pretty much anything that can decode video it seems like it is very viable.

For those that don't know what Moonlight is:

Moonlight (formerly known as Limelight) is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream protocol. We implemented the protocol used by the NVIDIA Shield and wrote a set of 3rd party clients.


What does this mean for you? Moonlight allows you to stream your collection of games from your GameStream-compatible PC to any supported device and play them remotely. Moonlight is perfect for gameplay on the go without sacrificing the graphics quality of your gaming computer.

This project is also open-sauce and you can find it here: https://github.com/moonlight-stream

Indeed, remotejoy Vita would be pretty awesome.

Request:

Equivalent to 3DS TinyFormat.

I've gotten a spare VITA that came with a 'problematic' 32GB memory card. The problem is that the VITA refuses to format it and throws error C4-10278-8. It will rebuild database and seems to work fine. I can install HENkaku on it and access ux0. It shows up as the expected 30GB in System and Content Manager. Yet for some reason the VITA immediately refuses to format the card, without elaborating any further. Is the 'partition table' broken, is it something else? Who knows. I'm hoping somehow formatting it "regardless" of whatever the tool complains about might fix it.

On the 3DS there's a homebrew utility called 'TinyFormat' that bypasses the "normal" formatting procedure and just formats your SD card. Is it possible to create a utility that does something similar on the VITA (for external memory cards only, not the 2000 internal 1GB)?

As 'nice to have' maybe display any 'internal' info that the VITA keeps and other memorycard related stuff (since everything has to be done on the VITA as there is no VITA-to-SDCard adapter card yet).

Like the MemoryCardSwapper tool it will likely have to power off the VITA at the end.

Edited the edit:
When formatting from recovery menu, the Vita reboots, then it says it wants to format the card (which you just did) which results in the error. If, instead of pressing OK, you turn off the Vita then boot back into recovery and choose rebuild the database, the Vita reboots again and will rebuild the database with no issues and the card appears to work fine.

an ONscripter app similar to the android version where you don't have to convert anything to play games

Iirc, tiny format does not format the SD. It formats the system without formatting the SD.

You are correct, it formats the SysNAND or EmuNAND. But the main thing was it bypasses the 'regular' format procedure. Come to speak of 3DS tools, other tools allow you to "unmount" the SD card so you can insert another card and perform operations on it, then take that one out and pop the original back in, and continue like nothing happened. I don't know if the VITA is as well understood as the 3DS, but that would be good too.
