hi guys i recently bought a ps vita for a few bucks, the problem is that it doesn't turn on, (i can enter recovery mode) but only two options appear: 1 restart the vita or 5 software update, if i try to update it with a ps3, It stays loading forever and never starts. I don't know what to do anymore, do you know any solution?

Yes I know, I try those methods too but they don't seem to work
How did you try and update it via a PC? Sony's own CMA software or the unnoficial QCMA software? I'm no expert and it's not known what the previous owner did to it, but it could be that someone has tried to hack it or tried to downgrade it while was hacked and it has failed somehow. If that's true, my guess is that whatever is left of the hack is blocking the update process and causing the vita to think it is on a firmware newer than it actually is. If that is so, I think QCMA can be set to ignore and/or over-ride that to enable the installation of any official firmware that your PS vita supports.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    I'm so pumped, NCAA football video game is back after a 10 year hiatus, coming to SeriesS/X, PS5 in July.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

    Lol charging your dad's classic unless he's the type that doesn't like taking things like that
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
