Which SD2Vita should I buy?

If you can find V1, the one that is hand-soldered go for the hand-soldered over machine soldered.

 

Might want to note it is coming from China, there are a lot bootleg stuff usually from oversea wholeseller

This version is hand soldered.

 

just buy a cheap one. I bought mine for five or six bucks, so it wasn't the cheapest, but it also wasn't one of those $20 ones from certain sellers. it's a v3/4 one, and it's suited me.

 

If your buying one of the v1 types remember that they aren't supposed to come out of your vita and they do fail. I'd stick the to the v5 didn't a v6 came out. You can damage your card reader with the original. Which just leads you to wasting time taking it apart and ordering a card reader for it.

That's the one I have. Works great and fast delivery.
Also, the hand-soldered ones would not be a recommendation for newbies or those who still want to play actual retail games, as they require you to stick sh*t in your Vita to get them out, which could damage your gamecard slot over time.
Or immediately, if you're not careful.

 

I got the V3 Adapter, and I am now having a Issue:
Will run a CPS2 Rom from it through RetroArch, and after a few Games, or a while, I can no longer be able to Access it. The only way I can get it to normal is to turn off the System, take the Card out, and re-seat it.
Anyone else getting this?????

 

That's the black one, right? I use that one as my main, with a 128gb microSD, and I haven't had any issues at all. Maybe it's a RetroArch issue?

 

Yeah, the Black with Red. Not a RetroArch thing. I can Quit RA, then go to VitaShell, and it is not there. I Restart the System, and it is still not there.

 

Boo. Maybe it's going bad? I hate to even suggest that, but I know you'd have all the latest required plugins for your SD2Vita...
Anything else act wonky in relation to it, or is it just RA?

 

Might be a RA Issue, but will have to test it. Will do a test with another Emulator or PSP Game, later

Edit: @eighthdayregret - Yeah, thinking it is a RetroArch Issue. pFBA is not causing any Issues, and I have had that running for an Hour now.

 

I have this one coming today, how is it? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BJ4QDB4
