Psvita vs Pstv for PSP emulation

[Kibbutz]

Hi guys. i have a request for you, a friend of mine want to buy a system for playing psp games but he doesn't know if it's better a pstv or a psvita. Any advice please?

Probably the PS Vita, Im pretty sure controller doesn't work with PS TV under PSP emulation.

Can't he/she just buy a PSP at this point? It will probably be cheaper.

That's not accurate, PSP stuff works just fine on the PSTV.

I never used psp emulation on ps vita, but i used it on ps tv and the controller works perfectly fine in adrenaline.

Of course it works - a controller is the main input for the PSTV
You can either connect a DS3 or DS4 without issues.

He prefer the ps vita or ps tv for the bigger screen

As for the OP's question, there really isn't a major difference, but I don't see why you'd buy a system you can't move around for PSP games alone when you could just do that on PC. I'd go with a Vita.

Ok but PSP games on PSVita doesn't run at PSVita resolution, making them look slightly worse than on the original PSP.
There is a patch for that but is breaks most of the games so it's not really recommended.

P.S. I'm quite new to the PSVita so these infos can be wrong.

Thank you for your reply, probably is the best the ps vita because he travel a lot and it's more portable.

I know that, but with some filters and the sharpscale plugin you a have a overall nicer image. Maybe down the line he want to try ps1 games and ps vita games, we'll never know lol

Bit late to the party, but PSTV has IMO one huge advantage: USB-connector. No need for finicky SD2VITA.

You are right, but in my pstv i prefer using sd2vita because for some reason storage manager sometimes decide to unmount my uma0 for no reason at start up lol
in the end he opted for a pstv just because he will use it at home on tv and he find pretty usefull the usb port.

i'm not sure if vita plugins take effect in adrenaline. but i was wondering. couldn't you use udcd-uvc to "dock" your vita, and display it to a tv?

You can use minivitatv 8if i remember the right name) thatmakes you dock your vita to the tv, but if he doesn't need anything more than emulation maybe it's easier with a pstv.

you'll still need an aux cable for sound. i think a ferrite bead is recommended because you'll hear buzzing sound

i think you can use bluetooth headphones connected to the vita fo the sound or a bluetooth speaker

I loved having a PSP when I was mobile all the time. For at-home play, though, a PSTV is likely to be pretty cheap, and a lot more powerful. I would go PSTV.

The PSP screen resolution was weird to adapt at first on the PSVita but after fiddling with some settings it looked alright.
I was still tempted to buy a PSP console, there's some really beautiful console colors out there!
I'm glad you found something for you.

check out sharpscale plugin, integer scaling for psp and ps1

Probably fewer pstvs out there. It was discontinued in less than a year. With that being said, a vita might be cheaper. Also, if he cares about vita games, some games need the TouchPad on the back.
