Dauber Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Okay, here's what I'd like... I'd like one device that can emulate the following systems at full speed: - Atari 2600 - SNES - NES - Sega Genesis Great, but not 100% necessary: - Commodore 64 - MAME - Atari 7800 - Atari 5200 - Game Gear - Game Boy Nice, but can live without it: - ColecoVision - Intellivision - Vectrex - Commodore VIC=20 - Commodore 128 Would either Vita or GPD do a good job??

Flojomojo Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 You want a GPD XD. It has good emulators for all that stuff (save Vectrex and Intellivision, which would be awkward) out of the box. Vita doesn't have a big home brew scene as far as I know. Maybe you're thinking of PSP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Never said anything about homebrews. Well, if you expect emulators on a Vita, that's the only way you're getting them, except for the retail Activision and Capcom collections from PSP. It's not like you can download emulators from the PSN store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightbit Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) The PSP can do most of that just fine (especially the few you listed for "full speed" emulation). I have owned just about every type of handheld that can emulate things (GP2X, Caanoo, GP32, Zodiac, etc) and I still have to say that the PSP is the best handheld emulation experience to date. It needs to have a custom firmware however. I am currently selling one in the marketplace with custom firmware and can add the emulators (just the emulators, NOT the roms) to a card and include them with it if that is something you are looking for.

Dauber Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Well....looks like the GPD XD is no longer available, and I really don't want to order one from China via eBay. :/ What firmware would the PSP require, and where does one get it?

Flojomojo Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The GPD XD is totally available ... it's always been something you've had to order from China. There are many trustworthy retailers there, that's where I got mine. PSP hacking is easy enough to read about, just do some web searches "PSP custom firmware 2016" would do it. I found this, which seems easy enough to follow: http://wololo.net/cfw4dummies/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 OK, I'll put it to you this way: it used to be available on Amazon until this week. Plenty of 'em on eBay (from China), but other than that, Froogle showed me two vendors that carried it, one that said it would be shipping from China, and another that has an entire Facebook group dedicated to people who were ripped off by that vendor...if I have to order from China, so be it.

Flojomojo Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Are you certain those Amazon sellers were from the USA? I bought my blue 32GB XD from Willgoo at launch, for what that's worth. Geekbuying also seems to have an OK reputation with people on the Dingoonity forums, which is worth something. Check out that forum, it's going to give you more specific info than Froogle. I would avoid using random Chinese sellers on eBay because of some bad experiences recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midwest_cdn Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 cfw pspgo ftw ! plays ps1 and down perfect . wish the vita scene was much better in the CFW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everett1954 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 If your looking for great emulator handheld type...look for a Nvidia Portable Shield..should be able to pick one up on eBay or craigslist fairly cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 The PSP is still my emulation machine of choice. PSP 2000 to be exact. They have TF to Sony memory stick adapters so adding in 64gb is cheap. Since you're not into homebrew you can just dump your UMD discs to the 64gb and play legit games all day.

Moo Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 PSP is probably best cause if you want, you can download and use these emulators without installing custom firmware: http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=8386&hilit=signed+emulator It emulates ps1 and generations before it pretty good. I hear vita is better if you want to run a dreamcast emulator, but then you need the right firmware and it's not nearly as easy to hack.

steve66 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 PS-Vita on version 3.60 can be jailbroken quite easily by visiting https://henkaku.xyzon your Vita's browser. I did read 3.61 can be done for Homebrew only, if you can link up with a friend on a jailbroken 3.60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
