Playstation TV Thread: Vita Who?

Disappointed that the remote play resolution from the Pro hasn't had a bump upto 1080p like the PC, tablets & phone apps.
I understand why the Vita wouldn't get an increase in resolution due to the screen restraints but PSTV could take advantage of a resolution increase with it outputting to a tele.

The PSTV outputs 720p or 1080i. It can't even output 1080p.
And the games themselves run at Vita resolution, there's no 544p to 720p/1080i upscale happening, it's just spread-out 544p.
No, upscaling is a more complicated process than just spreading stuff on the screen. Otherwise you wouldn't need to upgrade to a PS4 Pro to try to play on a 4K screen at 4K resolution.
...Um. Where are you getting this information? Upscaling, in it's most basic form is LITERALLY spreading stuff on the screen.
In the case of the PSTV, it first scales the Vita res to 720p or 1080i and then that is scaled by your screen to it's native resolution. The input resolution from the PSTV to the screen is either 720p or 1080i
Activating didn't help. Ended up being that they were too far apart. I moved the pstv next to the ps3 and it worked. Registered the PS3 and moved the PSTV back to where I had it.
That's because the PS4 Pro does way less upscaling, at least with Pro optimized titles. You seem to be mixing up some stuff, upscaling is just "making an existing smaller image fit a larger canvas", which is not at all what the Pro does to e.g. get Rise of the Tomb Raider to 4K. And even a simple process like upscaling can be done in many different ways, from relatively basic algorithms to complex ones, with varying results.

Upscaling is any process that takes image/video and gives you image/video approximating it at higher resolution, no matter how simple or complex it is. PS4P has some extra hardware that allows better upscaling under certain conditions, and TVs are known for being bad at fast upscaling, but even if you literally extend every pixel to 2x2 square it is technically a type of upscaling.

On the off chance anyone remembers this exists:
I'm having a weird problem with my PSTV. It won't stay in standby mode. When I put it in standby mode, it automatically wakes back up after 10 seconds without me doing anything. Tested it a full 5 times in a row and it did the exact same thing. Anyone have any idea what could be going on?

OK Sony. Officially reproduce this PSX paintjob and release the PlayStation Classic Mini. Secretly a PSTV with a lot of PSX games preloaded.

I must admit, when I saw ilast may in the US for $20 was so excited and bought it on the spot, as were very expensive in UK at the time as basically had stopped supplying them. However it has sat unopened since i got it back, and this comes for a huge Vita lover who plays it every day. Suppose it is a good backup for the day my vita dies as they are now difficult to get in the UK. Sad cause was excited but to be honest with exception of Foul Play and last few trophies in CO-OP is little reason too use it.

Do you have a USB device plugged in? I've had similar issues with one of my controller adapters.

Ooh, thread bump.
Does anyone know if Caligula is PSTV compatible in EU? I know it is in NA but it's not listed as being compatible in EU Store for some reason.

Yeah, I have a USB controller plugged in. Guess that's the issue. I assume you didn't find a solution?

Unfortunately no, I just had to make sure to unplug the device before sleeping.

Ps1 emulation is poop on the system. Visually it's a blurry mess.

I agree but the reason it looks that way is because a shit software filter is applied. All they gotta do is disable it.
Im hoping hackers will do it for us one day.

Still a bit miffed that DanganRonpa 1 is only compatible in the US copies, not EU copies -_-.
I'm guessing it's worse than PS3 emulation? Guess I'm keeping all my PS1 classics on there for now then!

It's a 480p image, stretched to 720p with a bilinear filter applied that you can't disable. 2D games look absolutely awful and 3D titles don't look much better.

UK Gamer? I'd be careful with that. Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky was published in EU by Ghostlight (also the publishers of Persona 3 Portable) and that game got pulled from sale suddenly, presumably because Ghostlight's licence had expired. And the company seem to have no interest in console publishing anymore so it seems unlikely to come back.
Not that I'm saying to buy it for full price because it likely will go on sale at some point, but still, just giving you a heads up.
Ho boy, fingers crossed it goes on sale soon ! Thanks for the heads up.

There appears to be less input lag (seat of the pants here as I doubt anyone would bother to test), but that's probably the only benefit. Otherwise it's Vaseline filter in full effect and an incorrect aspect ratio. None of the display options found in the Vita's PS1 emulator are present. The PS3 PS1 emulator looks considerably better, though I would say that PS1 games play better on the PSTV.
I keep hoping that it will be addressed in a quiet FW update that closes out Sony's support of the console, but it's more likely that we'll see a CFW that addresses these issues.
