Yeah the PSP had a hard reset function even without removing the battery. It shuts down automatically after 10 seconds.
Is that really confirmed to not have a hard reset button? Because it really should since I do agree that removing the battery might not be easy to do for everyone.

Like I said on the last page, no one has said that there is but I think it's just people haven't had the system long enough. I would be absolutely devastated if they were that clueless to have no other solution then to completely open up the unit like that.
Yeah, that's what I mean. I hoping the guy in the video just wasn't holding down power long enough for they switched it to two buttons like the other guy suggested of power+PS button or something. It would be outrageous if there really was no way.

He didn't try PS button + Power though, that would be the most obvious combination.
Also, I'm fairly certain opening Vita to change battery voids your warranty. Does Japanese manual say anything about it?
Its probably to do with how they are repaired. Having multiple boards can make it easier and cheaper to fix certain problems. Also one of the boards might be 3g vs non-3g.
Solution for the freeze ??? (it's in Japanese):

Ya, that's what I would assume too. I don't know what each board does though, I was mostly responding to the idea of manufacturing it at different places when that will be more expensive.

lol awesome, Yoshida rocks!
I'm not complaining, even those blown up shots look a hell of a lot better then anything I have been playing on a portable.

Well it's certainly not PS3 level as some were expecting but it looks frikkin' great for a handheld. I don't see a problem like some in here. If interesting titles come out I'll be in the boat once the price drops.
Well, the pics do look a lot worse than I remember from the RedSunGamer livestream.
Do people realize those livestream had a completly blurry and compressed quality...
It's fun how you prefer to believe THAT was the truth, more than direct feed screenshot lol.
It seems to me Ridge Racer isn't 544p neither.
So in addition to demo-content and 30FPS(?), it's also low-res (not sure if there's any AA either). I thought after 3DS version they couldn't go any lower...DCharlie said:
I'm just being jaded because the awesomeness of PSP games is forever lost to this series.
On a related note - it really does feel like screenshot utility is actually doing its own version of (shitty) upscaling, making the captures in fact look worse then Vita screen beyond DPI differences.
WTF? No.
I am saying my impression was that it seemed pretty good looking on the stream. It is perfectly reasonable that it doesn't look as good in person, as demonstrated by the screens here. No contradiction there.

well, in truth the screens above seem to look much worse than it does in motion (at least when i play it) i guess individual frame grabs may reduce some of the effects that make the game look a fair bit better in motion?
it's a moot argument - the game should be hitting 60fps and should look a bit better than it does. It's still all the fun of ridge, just ... no content. Disappointing all round, probably needed another 6 months or so to full bake :/

Yes, the game runs at 30FPS. Also, on 8-4 podcast one person mentioned when you engage nitro, things get really bad.
The RedSunGamer stream had framedrops. This is one game you should avoid, especially with the lack of content and all.
Shit, so same as the 3DS game in higher classes :/

I don't know what stream you were looking at but the RedSunGamer stream sure wasn't blurry.

Seems like RR is also sub-QHD, on top of being 30fps. Namco fail.
This resolution thing is looking like a widespread epidemic :|
Well, just accept it. Developers have to juggle finite resources, and this is what they chose to do. Would it be better to have higher res? Of course, that is not even up for argument, but the Vita cannot do that without other compromises. But is it really a problem? The Vita is plenty capable, and it is already the most capable dedicated handheld gaming machine. It's closes competition isn't even close hardware wise, couldn't ask for much more than that.

hide your water-based mammals
It's not a problem unless you want to make it into one. As I said yesterday, if it's playable then good. Not that I want rough frame rates. I deal with it on PC when I turn up details and start modding games so it should be no different here.
Thanks for all the caps DC. Much appreciated.

What a shame. Sub-QHD, 30FPS, almost no content...they should be ashamed.
Sub QHD, 30fps I can live with. After all, games are meant to be fun, and I am perfectly okay with fun games that don't look amazing. But the three tracks is just really a slap in the face.

hide your water-based mammals
That's the real shame. And the fact that they could launch a RR with PSP with 60fps and good content makes it worse.
It's nice to see some games don't have that watermark.
I'm playing the 3DS version right now (it's beside me at the moment) and this is in no way "lower". The 3DS version is extremely ugly in comparison and has the same performance issues. It's just a shame BOTH games fail to make use of the hardware.

It can, esp. since RR for PSP was running at 60FPS. 8-4 talked about RR a lot, the game really seemed rushed just to meet the launch day, it should've been given at least another 6 months. They also talk about the game being unfinished, and the whole "pay for DLC tracks later" is just a scam to hide the fact they simply DO NOT have other tracks and cars created yet.
It's kind of a shame that they insist on rushing these games out every time. In the past, they were actually able to deliver (Ridge Racer V and the PSP game), but since the 360 was launched they haven't delivered everything they could have. The series deserves more and it has never been more clear.
The 3DS and now Vita titles appear to be hacked together ports of older versions of the game.

needs 2 extra inches
They both perform and look terrible, but only one has the same amount of content as a freemium game :O
Because you want different properties on different PCBs? The outside ones hold the inputs, so they need to be physically sturdy and stiff. The inner one OTOH isn't exposed to pressure. It can be made thinner, but it may also have more trace layers to enable more complex tech-know-la-gee whiz-bang.

Is SQHD the new thing that's gonna be thrown about all the time now when complaining about games? It's starting to annoy me already.
If button are damaged you can easily replace them without changing the whole MB.
What I'm looking is the missing PCI-e for the wi-fi...

Uncharted - a game that started off a bit "wughh :/" but has picked up. Seems to be a lot more expore-y so far (still early) which i know a few people were asking for. Graphically seems to pick up too :
Shot 2 is WALL GUY for VITA!
And obligatory awful innuendo text :/
WOW!
Impressive.
Looks like a 360/PS3 game, but at a lower resolution of course.
I didn't meant in direct comparison (3ds version looked weak even next to PSP games) - but at least 3DS version shipped with proper content.dark10x said:
I totally agree with you it's sad treatment these games get though - R5 and RRs were also rushed back then, not sure if they just got lucky or had more people to throw at the deadlines...

Quick question, can Vita use custom backgrounds like the PSP and PS3? I have never seen this posted or talked about.
Yes.
You know, Ridge has it's problems but the screenshots do the game no justice whatsoever (30fps aside and all that)

Half of whats being rendered looks like a skybox.

How did that car get there?
I take you are unfamiliar with the insides of first generation Sony hardware?

Uncharted in "sub HD" 
It's not that surprising though, this game was too ambitious for a launch game, and it's not made by Naughty Dog. 99,99999999999999999999999999999% of today's werstern devs don't seem to give a shit about IQ these days. I hope it doesn't run like shit too.
