Some games that run full speed on the PS3 have some minor lag on the PSTV.
For example Suikoden II and spell animations. Casting Flaming Arrows causes noticeable slowdown, but runs full speed on the PS3.
This is only one example I can think of but I don't know if this a deal breaker. Still awesome playing Suikoden II on a PSTV though.

Still, even with slight flaws... A current-gen console for 30 used is unbeatable. I am so, so satisfied with my Vita TV. It's like everything the PS4 was not for me, so much so that I boxed the PS4 away and the Vita has taken its place on the TV stand and input selector.
This hacking/homebrew development was a godsend. I am so happy I didn't let the PS4 sour me on Sony's other 8th-gen system. So many games that I have to look into now!

Trying not to get excited about this. It will get patched out and I'll have to update for the sake of remote play

Any idea why I would get a black screen when plugging in the vita TV for the first time in months?
Just ordered one of these for 30 bucks and also a copy of P4 Golden. What I didn't order was a ridiculously expensive memory card. I had read on another forum that the internal memory was enough to play persona can someone confirm that? I'm also very interested in trying Dragons Crown, can someone advise if that is possible to play without a memory card assuming i buy the physical cart? I'm sure i'll break down and get a memory card eventually but money is tight for now and I really want to play those two games.
yeah, the internal memory is enough for savegames and patches and whatnot. IIRC there's 1Gb internal.
Had that once held the power button for several seconds until the light went off and then unplugged it and plugged it back in.
Had to reset date and time but it worked after that
Awesome thank you, sounds like I won't need a memory card unless I want to start playing the free ps+ offerings or shop digitally.
Been reading up on vita games, sounds like as an J-RPG fan Tales of Hearts R is the next game i need to play after Persona.

Yup, Tales of Hearts R is great,Danganronpa is good as well. Ys Memories of Celceta is another that gets recommended, but I haven't played it.

Ys: Memories of Celceta is now compatible with the PSTV, officially! Didn't even need a patch, just a refresh of the LiveArea. Makes me wonder why this wasn't the case at launch...
Edit: North America digital copy here.

I can confirm that this also works with the NA physical copy as well:

Fantastic, and what timing. I was all set to use the email exploit specifically for it.

It's been said several times in the past that Falcom needed to sign off on the English patch for it, which everyone assumed would never happen since it takes forever for them to get around to anything.

I actually asked Nihon Falcom about North American PS TV compatibility compatibility for Ys when I interviewed them a while back. Check out their response:

Liked this Vita Lounge article on the PSTV:
http://thevitalounge.net/2015/10/05/the-life-and-fall-of-the-playstation-tv/
It's nice to see that there are others out there who still love it -- even if Sony doesn't.
I would love if they framed it like Apple did with Apple TV for years: as a hobby. Then they could keep supporting it and building for it with a skeleton crew of just a few people. Keep future firmware updates (especially regarding the UI) independent from the Vita. Use it as a low-risk testbed for tech and design features that may make their way into other, more widespread consoles and devices. Work on the PS1 emulation and make it the best way (short of an original console and a Framemeister) to play the classics on an HDTV.
I know it's dead, and that was dead before it ever released here in the US. But I still wish it could have a continuing place (a tiny one) in Sony's ecosystem.

Yep, can confirm for NA. Apparently EU wasn't as lucky, though.

Yes
Shit. Bought then theyre like 35 bucks on amazon right now
Wait, wait, wait, wait. WHAT?!!
Dang this is like the one game I was missing going to have to buy it now.
I would just like you to confirm that you are confirming it and that you are not running the whitelist hack because if I buy it and it doesn't work I will be upset

Doesn't need the hack. It was ninja enabled for NA.
Are you able to run it on a NA PSTV. I'm seriously considering picking this up at gamestop today if it works.
Been confirmed yes by multiple people when the new update hit.
Awesome thanks any impressions on how it looks? I know it was a subnative res game.

Ys gets enabled days after I finish the game on standard Vita? You're welcome, everybody.
Wish I was able to experience that music on proper speakers.

Oh, neat. Only game I was keeping my PSTV un-updated for was Ys, might as well just update now so I can download my other stuff. lol
Anything new. Some of the best looking games I've personally played on the PSTV are Dangan Ronpa (all 3 particularly Ultra Despair girls which could pass for a native 900p game AA in the game is insane), Disgaea 4, Tales of Hearts R, and Freedom Wars. I've heard Killzone looks gorgeous but I haven't played that one personally.
I have no need for a non portable Vita but, goddamn, I would have bought it for 20 if it wasn't sold out.

Just jumped on the PSTV bandwagon too, thanks to Gamestop Italy.
Is the mail exploit still relevant/useful? I can't find the thread anymore, was it deleted for some reason?
EDIT: nvm found it via google http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1116430
Am I right in assuming this allows for emulator to work in vita-native mode?
All it does is edit the whitelist and the latest firmware breaks it so you probably shouldn't.

Soul Sacrifice Delta is the most impressive exclusive for me. Great production values, a memorable setting and theme, and some incredibly deep gameplay mechanics. It's the game that makes me treasure my PSTV and plays damn nicely on Dualshock 4.
Bought a PAL PS TV from Gamestop (for 20 euros, can't say no to that price), but I know hardly anything about the system. My more immediate question is as follows: I have a (PAL) PS4 on which I use two accounts, my "normal" account which is european, and an US account too, since a lot of times buying there is cheaper (I think I set the US as my master account?). Does it work in the same way for digital downloads on the PS TV? Can I set up both accounts and decide freely where to buy digital games?
sensui-tomo
Member
One account only, switching accounts is a mess and does not work like the consoles.
Oh ok then. So the next question would be: which is considered the "best" store? Tempted to use an US account but I don't know which is better in terms of updates/sales/etc.
Also, if I set up my PAL PS TV with an US account, can I still play physical games bought here in my country (they would be PAL games)?
Thank you very much, btw.

The PS TV, like the Vita, can play physical games from all regions. Of course, the game has to be compatible with the unit itself.
Yeah, got it too for 20 euro from GS Italy last week. Still have to boot it for the first time, I actually don't know if I should update it and lose the whitelist "hack" or if I should wait and keep it. I want to get freedom wars for it and other games maybe. BTW it's really small!

IIRC, the whitelist hack is removed whenever you download something from the store.
