I wanted to know if this was possible since I have a PSTV and in the process of buying a Vita and just wondering how easy it was to use on both since obviously I plan on using it to run Henkaku and be able to play games while home then take the memory card to go. Also can someone point me to a guide on how to install Henkaku on the Vita?

If you use the same account on both it won't be a problem. The only issue is that you'll need to copy app.db to the new Vita for all your bubbles to show up.
There's actually another problem even if you use the same account, the consoles will check for firmware versions, so unless both systems are on the same version (probably the case for those who use both for HENkaku) you'll need to remove the file that registers the account and version used last on the memory card (forgot what the file was named).

Same account and firmware and you can swap back and forth without any issue.

Ran into some issues. When I swap it always tells me that a memory card has been removed and I have to restart the console.

As with any modern console, you obviously need to turn off the Vita to remove the mem card safely...

This really means I have to turn off both then switch and reinstall Henkaku each time is my point
Well, yes, but is that really a problem? Even admitting you don't have Internet connexion (well, I don't think you'll be using your PSTV anywhere else than your home), the offline installer exists, and installing HENkaku takes less than 30 seconds... :unsure:

    Teraflops are not necessarily indicative of real world performance, especially when compared across different architectures. The Switch 2 will also be smaller/lighter than the Steam Deck so it's performance has to fit inside a much smaller thermal and power envelope. Using a 120hz VRR panel means 40 fps locks can be an option in handheld mode, which will be a noticeable upgrade over the current 30 fps standard on Switch 1. Games could also go uncapped and leverage VRR to keep things smooth.

    Call me a filthy casual but I really don't notice the difference between the last few generations of consoles, and pushing specs just for the sake of bragging rights is really pointless.

    Yea I think the HDR and 60fps+ have been the biggest noticeable improvements, along with faster load times/ ssd hd.

    Playing the devils advocate, o nstema deck I drop the FPS on most games to 30 due power conservation and tbh I see little to none difference to 60fps. I'd say the difference is in what one wants to believe

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I mostly play shooter games and after playing 120fps (on 120hz tv) most of the time, 60fps otherwise, its hard going back to 30fps, it feels like its in slow motion or screen stuttering.

    huh I can't tell the difference between 30 and 144 fps and I play with both '-'

    Steamdeck only 60hz, so 60fps max, but yea its whatever we get comfortable with.
