It's strange that I have to connect my Vita to my PS3 after I download Silent Hill, MGS, Silent Hill Origins, and a few other titles to my PS3. Then I use Content Manager to move them over to my Vita just to play them.
Yeah, and that I get. The Vita has inputs that can't be replicated with a controller (I'm not saying this is reflected in their whitelist, but in principle I understand that shortcoming). The PS1 stuff that was already being emulated on the Vita hardware, though? It doesn't make any sense.
Apparently doing this blocks game updates.Heads up, even on FW 3.65 you can enable the hacked whitelist to play anything you want.

Doesn't take much time at all, very easy as long as you have a PC.
I thought this was a thread about the actual PlayStation TV.
Only £35
I thought this was a thread about the actual PlayStation TV.
So I recently bought a PlayStation TV. Only £35, what a bargain! Now I can play all those digital psone, PSP and PS Vita games on the big screen.
NOPE
Nothing I want to play is compatible, be it PSP, PS Vita or Psone Classic.
No Final Fantasy games work, no Vagrant Story, no MGS. So much just doesn't work! (Eu Model)
And the PSP games look like hot garbage! Maybe that's just because theyre low res, but being outputted to 720p on my 1080p looks weird.
This is such a wasted opportunity. A classics style mini console with access to PSOne,PSP and PSVita games would be amazing IF IT ACTUALLY FRIGGING WORKED. That's before we even get started on the name and marketing of this device (PlayStation TV??)
Sony, make a PS Classic based on the hardware of a Vita, and make games actually work on it. That would be amazing please.
Oh by the way, does anyone know if I can switch to the US store and have more luck.
I dont think there were many people who bought a PSTV not having a clue that it could play Vita games.Well the name was changed because the only thing that would sell worse than a Vita is something called a Vita TV.
Twist! I have this and my PSTV is hooked up to it.I thought this was a thread about the actual PlayStation TV.

Yup. Bought it for $50 literally just to play a friend's copy of Golden and I have no regrets, lol.It's my dedicated Persona box.
Yeah, the whitelist thing on the PSTV is so damn stupid, especially here in Europe where it's restrictive as hell. A lot of games that doesn't work here, work in North America. Like the FF PSP games, Valkyria Chronicles 2 and so on.Nothing I want to play is compatible, be it PSP, PS Vita or Psone Classic.
Couldn't agree more. It could have been the perfect PS1 Mini + more, but instead it's crippled shit thanks to the whitelist (and several PS1 classics still missing from the EU PS Store like Chrono Cross, Legend of Mana, Threads of Fate, Xenogears and so on).This is such a wasted opportunity. A classics style mini console with access to PSOne,PSP and PSVita games would be amazing IF IT ACTUALLY FRIGGING WORKED.
Remote Play on a laptop over a shaky WiFi connection is still worlds better than Remote Play on an Ethernet connected PSTV. This should be the last reason you buy one.Is it any good for streaming PS4 games?
I want to stream like I do with my steambox using Ethernet
How is it? Only reason why I want it.
I was shocked and appaled that it doesn't support 1080p signaling. The double-scaling result going from 272p (PSP) / 544p (Vita native) first to 720p, then to 1080p in the TV is never going to look nice.

Does the PSTV do PS1 better than a PS3?

This has to do with the limitations of Vita hardware. The original OLED Vita included a data port that was capable of outputting at a maximum resolution of 1080i. This is a zero effort device on Sony's part and the inherit ability for Vita hardware to output a video signal is the only reason the PSTV/VitaTV exists at all.I was shocked and appaled that it doesn't support 1080p signaling.

Emulation is better with regard to input latency. Though the the aspect ratio and filter issues I mentioned earlier in the thread means everything is going to look pretty awful.Does the PSTV do PS1 better than a PS3?
so i got one of these new today off amazon, staggering how tiny it is. rather impressive.
but i went looking for one purely for PS4 remote play, ive had hit and miss experiences with the feature over the years, back when i had a vita, and also on an xperia tab. mainly they worked on my local WLAN, away from home though ... not so much success.
Anyways - this thing works.
got it home today and hooked it up to a spare hdmi port on my tv, and found a Ethernet cable and plugged it into the switch i have in the lounge coming off my ethernet over powerline adaptor. And after changing the settings for response time and image quality to high .... i was impressed, minimal lag, played FIFA and everybodys golf with no issues at all.
But i only have the one tv in the house. the reason i brought this was to see if i could take it over to my gf's place and basically get a second PS4 out of it. to be honest i didn't expect this to work, but here in NZ fiber is pretty common place now , esp in the cities .. so figured that combined with the fact that unlike the vita or my sony tablet in the past .. this thing is wired ... it would be worth a shot.
And so about 5 city blocks away from my place i hook this tiny box up; fire it up ....go straight to remote play ... and fuck me this actually worked. basically the same experience i had in my own lounge, fifa and everybodys golf totally playable. solid and consistent control. no drops.
this device was ahead of it's time pretty much. i feel highspeed internet is finally catching up to it and its crazy sony pulled the plug, maybe they should re-brand it as a PS4 extender and focus on that, its worth it for that alone imo.

That's really fucking impressive. I am not calling you a liar, but a small part of me says I need to see that to believe it. My experiences are great in home, PS4 wired, PSTV Wireless, direct unchecked, but five blocks away? Damn!

I've had one for years and never tried this. I'll hook it up in my bedroom see if it's any good in Wi-Fi.oh it certainly works will have to post some video on youtube i think, but no at my gfs place i have the PSTV connected by ethernat to her fiber router. and my PS4 at home is also wired, well over ethernet over powerline down the hall way, to my fibre router.
so basically what i'm saying is if both locations have fiber, and you wire both devices ; this thing works well enough for me to now be buying A Way Out to play at hers.
Wouldn't the Vita hack work on this?They really are pieces of shit. I'm to this day still salty about buying 2 of these fucking things when they were new. Even wired it worked like shit for playing any game that is a persistent online game like Destiny. It's OK with games that are not always online but not great. Does anyone make a microsd adapter yet for this thing at least?
