Hello,
I joined a bit late to the party, I just bought my first PSVita to replace my switch as Moonlight device.
I have a DIY cloud server at home and I am using it together with my switch to play, but despite the design I think the switch is too bothering to carry around. When I found that moonlight exists for the vita, I got one from Japan for 50€ and modded it.

The Vita's network performances are abysmal, the 3G network was killed in my country and the WiFi is very slow despite my 500mbps connection.

I've seen many posts from people asking if a 4G module can be crafted or if a new WiFi chip soldered, but general consensus is lack of software drivers.

Would it be possible to use a usb2to ethernet (and later maybe a phone with USB therhering) act as main internet? USB2 should be good for up to theoretical 420mbps, but anything above 12mbps is perfect for moonlight

Well, there's a plugin called vita-usb-ether and it allows you to have Ethernet through USB on retail Vitas but you need to make a dongle with specific hardware for it to work. Don't really know about the speed compared to Wi-Fi though... Here's a video of the dongle and plugin in action.

    @Xdqwerty No you heard wrong, and don't believe till you experience yourself. Fallout 4 is one of my favorite games of all time. Yes it had issues early on, esp with older hardware like the xbox1, but it is awesome, esp now being 4k on Series S/X or PS5

    @BigOnYa, Then i think people were talking about fallout 76
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    that one was buggy too
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right there, fallout 76 was a letdown, but it not that bad now, they have fixed slot of issues they had at launch. Biggest issue with Fallout 76 is its a pay to advance further type of game, which sucks
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, I may probably download fallout 3 or new vegas on my ps3
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    cuz I didnt like fallout 1 that much
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    New Vegas is awesome, F3 was ok too.

    Or worse, you downloading something, and someone calls your phone and interupts the download, good ole AOL. Of course that's before most you guys even were born yet.
