I've just released version 1.4 of the LinuxOnVita project which brings some pretty big (And i think news worthy) changes.

https://github.com/devwithzachary/LinuxOnVita

The biggest change compared to older releases is you no longer need a Sony Memory card to actually boot linux, the full boot process can be run off an SD2Vita or internal memory!

This works with a new in memory DRAM staging step that loads everything needed to boot linux into RAM while still inside VitaOS.

I've also patched an issue which kept two of the 4 CPU cores off line under linux, so now all 4 cores are usable, effectively doubling the performance of Linux.

I've also added a new UI for the VPK app to make it a little more user friendly and support the touch screen!

As always would love any and all feedback so please do test it out, raise issues, join the discord etc etc.

Standard disclaimer: LinuxOnVita is developed and tested on a PS Vita 1000 (OLED) running 3.65 Ensō with no additional plugins or mods installed. Behaviour on other configurations is not guaranteed.

Thank you!

Insurgency: VITA Discord - Get involved with the community!

Hi all,

I am really excited to share with you some of the work that's been done on Insurgency: VITA. The community reaction to the game has been great and a real community has started to build around the title, thank you to everyone who is jumping in, testing, and reporting bugs.

There has been a massive overhaul to the graphics pipeline, which has greatly improved the graphical fidelity of the game without sacrificing the performance.

- Better lighting and shaders that make the maps feel more detailed and less flat. Gunshots light up the world around you, as do explosions.

- Much greater detail in textures (they're larger, and are now detailed with brushed textures and decals).

- More props across the maps make the world feel more alive and lived-in.

- Massive improvements to particle effects: grenades leave plumes of smoke, bullets kick up dust and leave pieces of the impact bouncing on the ground.

Online multiplayer has seen improvements too, with rubber-banding being improve and plenty of new customisation options available.

- Customise your online presence with emblems and cards that honour the legacy of the Insurgency franchise. Earn pins by performing well or engaging with the community, and set your clan tag to make your group known!

Please report any bugs you come across, let me know how performance is too! I really appreciate everyone helping out testing this.

I hope everyone enjoys the update!

Hi! Some of you asked on my PSP posts whether A Place Beyond could come to the Vita properly, not just through Adrenaline. So here's a native PS Vita build, and I need your help: I don't own a Vita, so it has only ever run in the Vita3K emulator. There, every area and journey runs and 118 scripted tests go through them. On real hardware, nobody knows yet. :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTDz5c_O8-g

What's different from the PSP version

• Native 960x544: the 3D draws at the Vita's full resolution, no Adrenaline.
• Sharper art: the hand-painted sprites, tiles and title art converted again from the originals at 2x (4x for the title, the boss intros and the ground).
• HUD and menus at 2x with crisp text.
• Companions: the web version's party, which the PSP had no memory for. Three of them wait in the Quiet Room; hire them with embers and they follow you, fight with you, fall (hold Triangle to raise them) and row after you in their own little boats.
• Right stick camera, and the night drive over the pass sees twice as far as on the PSP.
• Your PSP save works: copy save.bin over and continue where you left off.
• Everything else is the full PSP v0.12: the open world, the five journeys, the dragon's dream, the Underparish.

What I'd love to know

• Does it start? How smooth is it (it aims for 30 fps), and where does it slow down?
• Anything that looks wrong (missing textures, wrong colours, flicker) or sounds wrong?
• Do saves, the companions and the controls work?

If it crashes, freezes or runs slowly, please install the boot-log build from the same release (APlaceBeyond-bootlog.vpk, it installs over the normal one and keeps your save), reproduce it, and attach ux0:data/APlaceBeyond/boot.txt to a report. It records the frame times too, which is exactly what I can't measure. There's a short form for that on GitHub (Issues > New issue > Hardware report).

Install: HENkaku/Enso + VitaShell, turn on Enable unsafe homebrew in HENkaku Settings, install the VPK in VitaShell. About 450 MB. No extra system files needed (no libshacccg).

How it's made

• I'm a game developer and this is my side project. I design the game: the world, the levels and the mechanics.
• The look of the game comes from my illustrations. But its also ai assisted. Everything comes from my moodboards and illustrations, but using astra to generate assets from it.
• AI does a lot here, and I want to be upfront about it: Claude did this whole Vita port, from the graphics code to the higher-resolution art conversion and the companions, working from my PSP version. That's also why it has never touched real hardware.

Thanks a lot for trying it, and please tell me honestly how it runs, good or bad!

EDIT: Now game is glitched with blue screen. Working on fix. Will update you soon.

EDIT2: Thank you all, your logs found the bug! The graphics code only wrote half of each colour on real hardware (that’s the blue picture and the noise). Test build 2 fixes it, and it also checks its own drawing when it starts and picks a method that works on your Vita:
https://github.com/bcaa777/a-place-beyond-psp-vita/releases/tag/v0.12-test2
Please install APlaceBeyond-bootlog.vpk (it installs over the old one and keeps your save), start it once, and tell me if the picture looks right. Then send me ux0:data/APlaceBeyond/boot.txt, which says which method your Vita chose. If you have 2 more minutes, the new self-test zip helps too.

Hi everyone!

I was having performance issues and GPU crashes with Need for Speed: Most Wanted on PS Vita. After tweaking the configuration, I managed to get a super stable 30 FPS (with rare drops to 28-29 FPS max) without any more crashes.

Here is the optimized config.ini file if you want to boost your performance:

File location: ux0:data/nfsmw/config.ini

Ini, TOML

SCREEN_WIDTH 640
SCREEN_HEIGHT 368
CAR_LIGHT_GLOW 0
ENVMAP 0
MW_LOOK 0
SOUND 1
MUSIC 1

Tips:

• Keep resolution at 640x368 to prevent GPU crashes.
• Disabling ENVMAP (reflections) and CAR_LIGHT_GLOW saves a ton of performance.
• Make sure your log file (ux0:data/nfsmw/nfsmw.log) shows config: reading ux0:data/nfsmw/config.inito confirm it's loaded!

Hope this helps anyone playing this great port!

UPDATE: v0.1.1 is out now. It includes:

• Significantly faster load-in at the expense of hitching during gameplay. You'll likely notice it a lot during the first few maps if you're on a fresh install and it should get better as you progress & the game builds its shader cache. These hitches are the next major item on my list to reduce/fix - this seems like the best trade-off for now since people were *very* unsatisfied with the extreme loading times.
• Gyro aiming!
• Control fixes - you shouldn't have to reset to default every launch to fix the analog sticks. The right and left sides of the touchscreen can also now be bound to whatever you want.

This is Half-Life 2, ported to the PlayStation Vita forked from nileusr’s repo and VitaGL .

https://github.com/LargeVegetable/source-engine/releases

Note: Barabbo’s fork of Source for the Vita entered open beta several days before I made the decision to release this. This version is distinct from theirs and is unrelated, but I absolutely welcome and encourage any and all aspects from this fork being used there and in any future ports that folks might create. It is not my intention to invalidate or ‘one-up’ their (or anyone else’s) work in any way at all. I'm confident their code is cleaner, and made with much more love than this.

At the moment, this release is very experimental and just about pushes the Vita hardware to its limit - it’s by no means finished, and does not look especially great. It’s reasonably stable most of the time, but performance can fluctuate pretty wildly - typically it settles in the 25-45 FPS range. Performance is especially affected by large, detailed maps with a lot of geometry, NPCs, or physics objects. It ought to be playable end-to-end. A 500MHz overclock is highly recommended, but not required.

The original Xbox release of the game was targeted for visual quality and performance here, so set your expectations around the ballpark of that - dynamic lighting is for the most part turned off for performance, among other more dramatic changes.

You will need your own, legally acquired copy of HL2 (Steam makes this dead simple - don’t pirate games!), along with a few homebrew plugins to run this. 

This has not been tested on PSTV or on firmwares other than 3.65 - but I see no reason why it wouldn’t work under those circumstances.

Full disclosure: to be clear, AI coding tools were used very, very heavily in creating this. Tl;dr this port started as a exploration into agentic coding tools and quickly snowballed into what you see here - I honestly didn’t learn much or gain any satisfaction from this exercise, and my appreciation for hand-written, human code has only increased after spending a little while working on it. I’ll probably be picking up a copy of the Game Engine Black Book soon to actually get a grasp on how all this stuff works.

Next stop: Portal!

I made a game with RPG Maker MV back in the day and have now vibe-ported it to Vita.

https://github.com/beaufortribbons/The-Ledge-Vita

It takes about ten minutes to play through with both endings. More info @ http://beaufort.asia.

Based on the short story 'Man With A Problem' by Donald Honig (1958).

Content warning: suicide, death and disturbing imagery.

Have submitted to VitaDB.

At some point, my Minecraft started looking like this. To be honest, this happened a long time ago, so I don’t recall the root cause—back then, I just decided to ignore it. It’s possible it was triggered by an improper game update in the past, and perhaps I need to delete some specific files—I’m not sure.

But now, I want to tackle this issue seriously and finally dive back into the world of blocky modding.

Could you please help? I’m open to testing any hypothesis. (Reinstalling didn’t help.)

Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/vitahacks/comments/1x6l4hj/ducktales_remastered_psvita/

Used the code from the old port from TechnicalJicama4 as a starting point. (https://github.com/technicaljicama/duck-psv)

Not gonna lie, this newer version is vibe coded. Still ironing out some bugs.

Update 20/10/2026 (Released - No git yet, if there will be one...) Aiming for 30FPS but fps can drop.

Requirements

• A PS Vita (or PS TV) with HENkaku/Ensō and [kubridge] installed
• `libshacccg.suprx` in `ur0:data/`
• Your own copy of the Android game, **version 1.0.3**: the APK and its OBB file.

Installation

Get the game's apk and obb. It HAS to be version 1.0.3 1. Create the folder `ux0:data/duck`. 2. Open the APK with a zip program and copy `lib/armv7/libDuckTales.so` to `ux0:data/duck/`. 3. Copy the OBB file `main.124.com.disney.ducktalesremastered_goo.obb` to `ux0:data/duck/`. 4. Install `DuckTales.vpk`.

The first launch takes longer: the game's shaders are compiled for the Vita once and kept in `ux0:data/duck/cache/`. Later launches use the cache.

Settings

`ux0:data/duck/duck.cfg` is created on the first launch.
Edit on the Vita or a PC and restart the game.

Credits

• The original DuckTales port to the Vita, which this project continues.
• Andy Nguyen (TheFloW): the Android `.so` loader this is based on (MIT, see `LICENSE`) and kubridge.
• Rinnegatamante: vitaGL, vitaShaRK, math-neon and ShaRKF00D.

Ive released the first version of the vita port. it currently runs kino der toten. You need to own black ops 1 on pc and use the tool in github and download the vpk in release to install it. once its downloaded correctly it should start up a match of kino der toten with some settings for everyone to try out. Just follow the Instructions.

i tried to keep it close to the pc version without stripping down too much so it still looks and feels like bo1. Would like to hear some Feedback.

FYI i dont think Enable Unsafe Homebrew is necessary but im not sure.

If you have problems installing let me know.

Hello!

This is a release of a project I was working on a while back. Decided to finally get around finishing it.

You will have to source the game yourself of course, latest steam copy and all that. But thankfully it runs at a stable 60 fps without OC on my PSVITA-1000.

The plan is to port a PSP version and add multiplayer , among other cool things later on.

General-Release-of-Liability

Enjoy! Don't forget to star, give feedback and overall just let me know for any issues.

Crazy thing is it's still turning on but no sound and the screen is busted gotta say this thing is tough to still be turning on

Now it's really hacked!

Yes, I made Spotify working on the Vita, with similar interface.

Sorry for my poor English.

Added lyrics support in this version if you downloaded the old one please update.

Thanks so much to librespot that made this worked.

(my vita's speakers are so broken so you may hear crackling sounds from them, the audio quality should be much better i swear)

ReiREM is a dedicated emulator for Irem arcade hardware on the PS Vita and PSP, built on the Irem drivers and CPU/sound cores of FinalBurn Neo.

What it runs

- 10 Irem board families: M52, M57, M58, M62, M63, M72, M75/77, M90/97, M92 and M107

- 196 sets including Ninja Baseball Bat Man, Hook, R-Type, R-Type II, Image Fight, Undercover Cops, In The Hunt, Gunforce, Dream Soccer '94, Vigilante and Kung-Fu Master

Performance

- PSP-3000 (333 MHz): most tested games run at full speed (60 fps, or the board's native 55 fps on M72). Dream Soccer '94 is close, with about 1.6% of frames late in the heaviest scenes.

- Getting there took dynamic recompilers for the NEC V33/V30/V35 and Z80, sound or rendering on the PSP's second CPU (Media Engine), and tile layers drawn by the GPU.

- PS Vita (444 MHz): the main CPU, sound and rendering run on separate cores.

Features

- Game list grouped by board, with Playable / All / Favorites filters

- Save states (10 slots + quick save), DIP switches, button remapping with a turbo button

- FinalBurn Neo format cheat files, aspect ratio and filter options, border artwork

- Per-game settings

Download

- Release: https://github.com/Reyanon/reirem/releases/tag/v0.1.279

- ReiREM_v0.1.279_vita.zip — VPK for PS Vita / PS TV

- ReiREM_v0.1.279_psp.zip — EBOOT for PSP-3000 / PSP go

- Source code: https://github.com/Reyanon/reirem

Notes

- This is a pre-release. Bug reports and compatibility reports are welcome on GitHub Issues.

- ROM images are not included. FinalBurn Neo compatible ROM sets are required.

- PSP-1000 is not supported. The PSP go build includes a fix for firmware 6.20 that is still being tested.

- Non-commercial use only (FinalBurn Neo license). ReiREM is not affiliated with Irem.

Hi, I'm porting Sally Face to PlayStation Vita.

This is not a mobile port, because it requires arm64 and it's built on IL2CPP.

I decompiled the Mono version of the game and used AI to downgrade it to Unity 2017 so it could build the game for the console.

I am proud to unveil DOOM 3: BFG Edition.

Just released TweebboVita, a native PS Vita port of Tweebbo, my open-source recreation of the classic Habbo Hotel experience.

You can explore rooms, chat, trade, play minigames, and interact with players on PC, mobile, and Nintendo 3DS through crossplay.

It's still in active development, so expect some bugs or features not similar to the PC and 3DS Version, constantly being updated, but you can update it directly in the app or download the latest version from GitHub!

https://github.com/Tweebbo/Tweebbo-Vita

Been seeing this game a lot over the past few days. Apparently it’s a free PC game project that has been ported to psp and playable on the vita via adrenaline

Looks cool asf

VitaIPTV is an IPTV player homebrew for PS Vita / PS TV (M3U and Xtream, live channels, films and series).

What's new since v0.3.0:

- AC-3 / E-AC-3 sound now plays (as stereo) – most films that were silent now have sound

- Choose the audio track (e.g. Turkish / English) from the Select menu

- Films with E-AC-3 no longer freeze or drift out of sync

- Favourites (START) with your own order, and a Recently Watched category

- Now / next programme info for Xtream channels

- Transcoding server setting: off / when needed / always (also runs on Android via Termux)

- Better handling of some 720p channels, proper Turkish letters, cleaner menus

Download (VPK) and full changelog: https://github.com/emrhky/VitaIPTV/releases

Hobby project, developed with the help of AI. Shared as is.

I am pleased to announce that this Saturday, October 24, I will launch the MyShell V1! Everything is almost ready to launch it

I have deleted the Video app since it generated certain problems and I didn't want this to take long. I have added Polish and Italian as an eligible language. News, Store and Music are all ready! I'm sure you'll be updating the app with more languages and details. Although I would like to be able to add the Video player in the future for a more complete experience!

And another shameless plug to my Discord server!

Hi, I made a manga reader for my Vita, mostly for myself, and figured I’d share it in case anyone else finds it useful. Not sure how many people still read manga on the Vita, but here it is.

Quick disclaimer: this is vibe coded. I built it with a lot of help from AI. I’ve been testing it on my own Vita and it works well for me.

It’s for reading your own local files (cbz/zip or folders of images), no online sources. It’s built on top of NOBORU (thanks Creckeryop) with a lot of ideas taken from Komikku. The main thing I wanted was lots of settings to tweak, so pretty much everything is customizable.

Preview in the video.

Library

• One cover per series, open it to see the volumes
• Understands messy folders (loose v01, v02 files get grouped, long scanlation names get shortened to Vol. 2 etc)
• Uses cover.jpg from the folder if you have one, and cover.gif works too (animated)
• Continue button that takes you back to the exact page
• Read marks, categories, search, history, bookmarks, reading stats

Reader (lots of settings, can be set per series)

• RTL / LTR / vertical / webtoon / long strip
• Fit screen, width, height, smart fit, original, stretch
• Two-page spreads, split or rotate wide pages, auto-crop borders, trim margins
• Pinch and double-tap zoom, custom tap zones
• Page tone, night filter, brightness (swipe the screen edge)
• Save your own presets or use the built-in ones (manga, comic, webtoon...)

Vita specific

**These are probably my favorite features that I added, because I want to utilize the Vita's rear touchpad and also the vertical hold for the most comfortable reading.

• Full portrait mode, either way round, with auto-rotate and a rotation lock
• Rear touchpad to turn pages / scroll
• Custom accent colours, dark/black/light themes
