Hardware PS Vita Capture Unit via USB

[YamiHoshi.nl]

That's a TV and Monitor combined, actually, but I'm using an HDMI Cable to my Mac Mini, so it's on 1080p.
(It's a 32" display, which I ripped from my father after his death.)

Maybe I do have Capture Cards for almost all platforms I own, except for iPad and GBA.

 

[ElYubiYubi]

Yeah I know I can do the same with my 3DS XL

Vita with capture card was dispatched yesterday, and provided tracking number shows it already left Japan.

And now somebody wants to have a Tutorial on how to get PS Vita games on a TV.

 

[Selvaria]

Eh? I never asked for such a tutorial. I already know how to do it.

 

[ElYubiYubi]

Eh? I never asked for such a tutorial. I already know how to do it.

Did you asked for a specific color? Also can you take photos of it? I'm looking to buy one also.

 

[Selvaria]

I haven't received it yet. With "alerady know how to do it" I meant that I got instructions from a friend on how to do it.
I didn't ask for specific color (not that picky).

 

[YamiHoshi.nl]

I didn't say you were asking for a Tutorial, I said, somebody on YouTube asked me for a Tutorial.

 

[Selvaria]

I got the Vita.=D=D I'll upload a video and some pics later.

 

[ElYubiYubi]

That was fast

 

[Selvaria]

Here's the video of my white Vita. Now I have black and white ones, hehe.



YamiHoshi, a question. Is it safe to use system software update on the Vita? Current version that is available is 2.11, and on Vita with USB port the version is at 2.05,
I'm afraid that if I do the update, the functionality of capture card is lost.

 

[YamiHoshi.nl]

Yes, it's safe.
I've installed 2.11 myself too, and no problem.

In fact, Sony can't Block it, it doesn't even touch the system's functionality!

 

[Selvaria]

Another question for you Yamihoshi.

Would you mind telling us in the description info about what settings you have checked in mPSV_view program?

I have:
Trans Mode: 960x544x10bit [YUV]
Deinterlacing: No deinterlacing
BackBuffer size: 1920x1088
Filtering: bilinear

I haven't touched any extra options in Config menu.

 

[ElYubiYubi]

Can you get sound through USB?

 

[Selvaria]

No, you need another cable.

I've run into a problem with Fraps. I can record movies, but it only records like top left quarter of the screen.

EDIT: Figured it out - I needed to set up backbuffer size to 960x544, so now overlay covers entire screen.

Now I only need to get the sound going and I'm golden.

Settings:
Trans Mode: 960x544i x 16bit[YUV] (Interlace)
Trans Mode: Reduce jaggedness on the [YUV] mode (still image) MUST BE OFF!
DeInterlacing: No De-interlace
BackBufferSize: 960x544
Filtering: Bilinear
Same side adjustment: dot by dot x1 (this isn't really required, but I did this anyway, because the resolution that comes with the Software isn't really Vita-like.)
Rotation: No Rotation (Duhh!)

Wish this kinda thing didn't cost so much to install, I really wanted to get one for the 3DS but its close to £200 and I have to send it either to Japan or America :-/
I take it this costs alot too?
I'd love to do videos with these on Youtube, but it'd definitely a risk.

 

[YamiHoshi.nl]

Yeah, counting the Customs, Shipping, and the effort, it's cheaper to get a brand new PS Vita, instead of sending in yours.
You'll pay double the price, if you get a new Vita pre-installed, but sending in your Vita will make you pay triple the price, and it will take a hell lot longer.

 

[ElYubiYubi]

No, you need another cable.

I can get Audio through USB with the 3DS XL ffrom Katsukity. I'm pretty the PS Vita can too or not?

I have the same problem with FRAPS on the 3DS XL program. Havent fixed it yet.

 

[Selvaria]

No, Maki, it doesn't work. USB cable only transmits video, for audio you need another cable as mentioned above.
