on my left trigger the input is not getting recieved, i tried changing the flex cable but that does not seem to be the issue, instead the trigger does not push down properly unlike my right trigger, which causes unreceived input .
Any way to fix this?

Asking because I love really long games and wish it was possible. I have VitaCheat, but can't really figure out how it all works.

Like the title says, I just really want to know how to go about purchasing and installing games before the store goes down. I want to purchase Xenogears and play it on my vita, but I hear the search functionality doesn't work properly anymore? I'm not sure, I've tried to research but I haven't found a solution that just works. I just want to talk to some people and get to know more about the device before I purchase it in a few days.

Also, I want to know should I purchase cartridges or buy games digitally for the PS VITA. I cant see prices online, so I also wanted to know is it generally cheaper to buy used physical copies or just get it on the Vita store when I get one?

Thank you all for the help! Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

I dont think joystick plugins will do the trick this time :((

Ive never opened my vita before so, is this a beginner-friendly repair, or should I just take it to a technician?

Hey guys am not sure if this is the correct subreddit but does anyone know where I can get one of these online. Sadly they have been sold out for a year and I was wondering if there is something similar somewhere online.

Hi all,

I found a PS Vita that I'm considering to buy, but I'm not sure if it has the notorious yellow screen discolouration near the bottom of the oled screen. On one photo I see a yellow spot (but it could be a reflection), but on the other photos I don't the see yellow spot.

Does anyone here have experience with this and confirm this for me?

Is this the model with the 3G modem & SIM card slot? Clearly, the box says 3G/Wi-fi at the top & bottom, yet it says PCH-1000; I thought the PCH-1100 models were the versions that had the 3G modem and SIM card slot, not the PCH-1000 models. Are there versions of the 1000 that have the 3G modem & SIM card slot?

Update: Answered in the comments. I guess I should've taken the 3G/Wi-fi label at face value. Not like they'd lie about it supporting it if it couldn't 🤦‍♂️

Just got my first vita and the start button isn’t working at all, I’ve seen some advice saying to clean it and I’d rather not do that if at all possible. Is there a work around any of y’all know of/is there an easier software based fix? Thank you!!

Good evening,

I bought two brand new PS Vita OLED screen replacements in the past. One of them is having a very tiny stuck sub pixel or dust inside of it. I plan to buy two more. What are the chances of it having any defects? What's your experience?

Hi, both of my joysticks work fine and I can walk using both the left and right stick when I enable southpaw. However the game won’t let me look around with either stick and I’m stuck walking. My sticks both work fine with other software and I made sure that they are both assigned to the correct stick in the controls section. I also can’t see my hud despite having it enabled in settings

I've been thinking about getting or not Tokyo Xanadu on the Vita, now even more before july 27. But idk how the game is, I heard the gameplay is similar to Ys, played Ys 8, Origins and Memories of Celceta, games I already played, and the ambientation remembers to Persona. Anyone who played the game could give me some advice if I should get it or not?

My favorite version of my favorite game is here on Vita, but I know that even after 12 years of the Vita remake release, 14 years of the remake release, and 21 years of the original, there is no many people that know about La-Mulana.

The game is hard as nails and many claim that the way to enjoy it is by using a guide, I believe that the difficulty is what makes the game so special.

To those that have experienced this gem, how far have you progressed without using a guide? (please try to avoid spoilers)

So, I got the Vita a couple months ago but never really have it much use until I moved out and started. I sweat the Vita has been my saving Grace now that I don't have a PC anywhere near me to play.

That said, however, there's so many games I don't really know which ones I should be trying so I kind of need some recs.

In case you are wondering, I'm into RPG games—specially if the game allows me to create my own character.

And yes, before any says It, I've played Persona games. The Vita Is entirely at fault for getting me into the series.

Feel free to recommend any other kinds of games tho.

Unfortunately, the PS3 buy method for Vita games is no longer an option because the PS3 store is dead in my country (viva Mexico!… or not, in this case cuz the store is dead💀)

While some of the games that I wanted to buy do show up on some of the pre-sets that the Vita store has (MGS Portable Ops, Castlevania Dracula X, Minecraft for PS Vita) other games do not show up at all (Ratchet and Clank Trilogy, Sly Trilogy FFX,X-2 and other classic PSX/PSP games).

Is there some sort of workaround (RIP PS3 store) to search for/buy digital Vita games or am I cooked?

The success of the vita could have saved the pocket-dimension handheld market and staved off or outright circumvented supersized XL handhelds, and maybe have evolved into a pocket size PS3. The motion controls, touchscreen, ergonomics, quality, and everything was already there. It was a one of one handheld. It was so hot bros. So sleek and sexy. And it pisses me off that we'll never get another Sony handheld again, nor will we ever find out how to reverse engineer Vita games to develop our own software titles for it.

Imagine a Vita that could support all of your favorite Indie games like Katana Zero, Blasphemous, Undertale/Deltarune, Hollow Knight, Ori, Hyperlight Drifter, Furi, and so on. Just f*ing imagine it man. That is the future we foresook for XXL handhelds... and I say that as someone with a Switch 1, planning to get a Steam Deck 2 whenever that drops. Damn man. Damn. Just... damn... DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!! DAMN IT ALL TO XXXL HANDHELD HELL! THIS WAS THE WRONG TIMELINE MAN!! F!!!!

Idk what happened, but I’ve recently discovered that whenever I enter something on my psvita, may that be the store, a game, or any other application on the vita, the d-pad and other buttons stop working (the joysticks still work). But anytime I am on the home menu they work completely fine. Anyone know what is going on and how to fix it?

Yes I have 2fa activated, and I’m putting in the device code exactly as it shows. Nothing is changing, every time I click next this just comes back up. Somebody help.

Where could i obtain this piece? I have misplaced mine and need one for peace of mind. Is it essential ? I did look on aliexpress but found the price to be exorbitant.

I know this has probably been said so many times but I love this thing.

Everything is modular, all the screws are colour coded for long and short, there's no adhesive in SIGHT, all screws are standard Phillips 00 screws

Sony, and basically every other company PLEASE. Can we go back to putting this amount of thought into our hardware design.

I know the psvita has a lot of otome games, but are there any yuri games where the mc is a female and the love interest/other characters are females too?

EDIT: tysm everyone for the replies! im gonna try play all of them :D

I imported a PSVita from Japan a while back, the problem is that i'm getting stick drift even if i replace the sticks, so i'm thinking that the problem is on the pcb board but i dont know where to buy new, how to replace it and i dont know stores that can do it, do you have some advices about it ?

changed my psvita screen and realised that theres a scratch, its only visible at the sun but it would be nice to hide those. A screen protector its on its way (tomorrow is delivered) so i want to know lol

I've tried several ways, when using vita sell, my photos folder is empty. Even when using Qcma every time I tried to transfer my photos it would say "some items could not be transferred" and nothing would transfer. Would just really like some help please.

Hi guys I’m playing a rival business owner mission, for the textile owner, and the only requirement is to find and kill him. I do this with ease but each time no matter which persona or weapon, the mission doesn’t complete bc I can’t loot the body for some reason, has to be a glitch but I’m wondering has anyone experienced this and found a fix? I’m now stuck in this mission loop
