Here is an attempted list at Vita compatibility: Compatibility is high based on what metric? Lower than PS2 compatibility since it wasn't given a limited list of official releases like PSP/Vita/PS3. I doubt it runs PS1 code natively but I can't prove it. No, PSP has MIPS and Vita has ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor. My understanding is that the Vita has a MIPS co processor that's able to execute all of the PSP/PS1 code natively and it just emulates the GPU, which is why compatibility is so high. PSP runs PS1 code natively on its MIPS CPU and PS2 has same PS1 CPU for compatibility. I'm not sure if Vita is full emulation or not.
Granted, I refuse emulation for my favorite systems and would not use pure emulation PS3 for this reason. PSTV can be even faster, game depending, and unofficial mednafen and very outdated psxfin emulators can be the fastest of all. Some PS3 emulated PS1 games play sharpest of any option using a disc and it's not clear why.įor my input, I play PS1 on PS2 to use fast disc speed (massively reduced loading times) and I can't go back to PS1. PS3 is nice for native HDMI output to LCD but obviously you lose out on CRT scanlines and get hit with input lag. Vita advantage is having exactly double the resolution of PS1 games, so they scale better than on PSP, assuming you don't want to output to TV. Go also lets you use a Dual Shock Controller. Summarizing doesn't quite do it justice but they notably highlight PSP-2000/3000/Go over Vita and PSP3 for 480i output to a television that works perfectly with PS1's 240p. No one mentioning the My Life in Gaming 206 video that compares playing PS1 games across every option: Well, you need custom firmware in general to play your ISOs or eBoots that you didn't buy off PSN. Good topic for a conversation since PS1 is so widely supported across Sony consoles. Now, If I were OP and had to choose between a used PSP and fiddling with emulation of questionable quality on a hacked Vita, I'd choose the used PSP every time. I have a $50 Android device that I pretty much only use for messaging. And smartphones are generally low-powered enough that you can keep them on all the time, which is handy for messaging. I live in an area with rather inefficient public transportation (though I try to take the bus when I can), but if I were in urban Europe or Asia I know I'd sell my car in a heartbeat. Desktops are indeed far cheaper, but there are times when I need to take my work with me, so I also have a laptop.
I don't own a watch since my basic phone already tells time. Why use a smartphone when your computer is more powerful? Why wear a watch when you can just look at the clock on the wall? Why buy a laptop when desktops are cheaper? Why buy a car when you can take the bus?
