Did you know that the PS Vita 1000 has got 2.5GB INTERNAL MEMORY at ur0 that you can make use of? This partition is 1.5GB for the slim.

so,Sony took 1GB from that partition and set it to use it as main memory to save your games if you don't have memory card.

if you have hacked PS Vita you can access to that 2.5GB of your OLED Vita and use it too.

if you have 3.60 vita,you can install henkaku on it using the browser from a henkaku site.

Maybe vita uses that space somehow, but in any case sony was greedy again unlocking a gb only on vita 2000 to sell it.

Let's recap: overpriced memory cards, no tv out that was added only to vita tv, unused space that was in part unlocked only on vita 2000 to sell it and probably more, why sony was so shitty with vita?

I think Sony just got greedy. Remember when they were proud to announce that the gamecards had space to save gamedata and patches ?

"Removable memory cards will be large to support a wide variety of downloadable content."

Now I know the early models had SD card slots, but I cannot fathom why they compared it to mobile game file sizes. All the ones I've played way over 10 MBs.

I don't know why they thought it was a good idea to make the last minute changes that they did. But clearly any plans they had for it went down the drain pretty quick.

Izuna · Oct 22, 2016

wow, and the fact that they never patched it in because it was a "selling" point

The Spoony Hou · Oct 22, 2016

Wow, I guess Sony is even more stupid and greedy than previously thought. It's a shame what happened to the Vita.

The Vita division is/was freaking crazy, I see. Can't help but wonder if Vita wouldn't be more successful if all those decisions were made differently.

dan2026 · Oct 22, 2016

So Sony doomed their own system with greed and stupidity?

sorry but it will still fail bigly. Even selling twice the current number is a failure. it is a machine whose target audience does not exist outside of a niche.

I don't know about that. Nintendo seem to do pretty well with the 3DS.

nintendo has exclusive, established games that took advantage of what a handheld means. Sony would never catch that in this regard.

And even with that 3ds failed to sell half the number of its predecessor which is still a good number, but the contraction of market is a given.

Anony · Oct 22, 2016

it never gets used
the best thing for it to be used for are roms for retroarch
twitter responses say that it's possible to load actual apps/games by modifying the app.db to point to the partition

honestly though, the only people that got fucked is anyone that bought the 4gb card
having 1-4 gb is not enough for games or patches, would only be enough for save files, which was more than enough space

Nintendo (rightly) gave up on trying to sell a $250 portable... SD cards would have helped the vita, but the system wasn't doing itself any favors from the start.

Think of the mobile market 5 years ago. A lot of popular apps hung around the 20-25MB range.

Hell, WiiWare was limited to 40MB.

Fixed for equally dumb but accurate Trump slang.

Chesskid1 · Oct 22, 2016

yeah my ur0 directory on my oled had 10mb in use out of 2.55gb

i'm going to keep my roms on it

thanks for the extra 2.5gb i havent been using ever sony

i didn't put it together that sony cut out some of ur0 on the slim for an internal memory card, but now it makes sense

KiraXD · Oct 22, 2016

im more irritated at the stupid fucking Accessory Port that didnt do anything (though we all know it would have been for Video Out, except Sony would rather make that its own thing with Vita TV... but still this isnt surprising that sony blocked off space to charge us for their memory cards... i love my Vita... but god damn so much fuckery within sony killed it.

haha sorry. too lazy to type on phone...

I have one of my vita henkaku'd but still using a 32gb extra memory card which is a huge waste. I would love to just have henkaku enabled on internal memory and stick the memory card to my pstv.
