![]() Do note that the process is beginner-level, but will still require you to be fairly computer savvy. But things have come a long way since then, so just follow the video above and you should be fine. But that may be some lingering PTSD on my part - I bought an original PlayStation Portable on day one (March 2005), and bricked it the following year trying to hack/jailbreak it to play retro games. I followed the video above from Tech Savvy Buyer and it worked like a charm, but throughout the process I kept worrying that I was going to brick my unit. I’ll admit it, hacking a PS Vita was a harrowing experience for me. Your device should come with a charger, but if it doesn’t, grab one of these and you’re ready to rock. I paired my SD2VITA card with a 256 Samsung microSD card and it can fit a ton of PS1, PSP, and PS Vita games. It costs between $5 and $10 on Amazon and is worth every penny (be sure to buy this FunTurbo brand card, it is highly regarded as being the most reliable of these cards). 8GB cards are easier to find, which is what I bought ( via eBay for about $20).įinally, once you’ve hacked your PS Vita, you will be able to use an SD2VITA card, which will allow you to use a microSD card for storage. The size of the card doesn’t matter, so if you can find a 4GB card, go for it. But if you have a PCH1000 model, you will need to buy a Sony PS Vita memory card, which is proprietary. ![]() If you have a PCH2000 model, the device has 1GB of onboard storage, so you are good to go. If you want to hack your PS Vita in order to install RetroArch, you will need to save some files to the device. One thing to note is that ALL FIRMWARES are hackable for the PS Vita, so don’t worry about what firmware is listed for the system the video guide below works on the most recent firmware version (3.73). If you are in the United States, I highly recommend their eBay store. Because we both live in Hawaii (but on different islands), it only took a few days to ship to me. After some discussion, I decided to go with the PCH1000 because of its OLED display. They were very professional and helped me find the right device for my needs. I bought mine via eBay from a seller named supply4demand808, who is “Top Rated Plus” and has sold many Vitas. In general, I would expect to pay about $200 for a working device in good condition you may be able to find deals for as low as $175 if you’re lucky. ![]() Its original MSRP was $250, and it still commands a fairly high price. Sony stopped production of the PlayStation Vita in March 2019, so the only place to buy this device is now on the used marketplace. The PCH2000 is 20% thinner and 15% lighter than the PCH1000 model. The general consensus is that the PCH1000 model has a better display, but the PCH2000 model has longer battery life. The Vita had two models: the PCH1000 model (featured in my video above) with an OLED display, and a PCH2000 model with an LCD display.
