After the PS2 and the Switch, Android users are now able to emulate yet another system on their devices. Originally a PlayStation Vita emulator for Windows, Linux and macOS, Vita3K has been ported to Android. It's still very much in its early stages and has had two releases since becoming available yesterday. The developers note that Vita3K is an experimental emulator and users shouldn't expect everything to run flawlessly. But as is usually the case for emulators, there is the potential for Vita3K to only have better compatibility in the future.

You can head to the GitHub repository below for installation instructions.

Pretty cool even though I can't seem to get any game rom to install though lol.

Maybe this will help you out

Since Vita is an ARM device and most Android phones support AArch32, curious why they didn't try to make also 32-bit app that will act as wrapper for CPU code.

Got it installed perfectly fine but i can't find the directories using X-plore file manager mind.

They are installed in the Vita3K home directory, in /ux0/app/. Defaults are:
Windows: C:/Users/"username"/AppData/Roaming/Vita3K/Vita3k
Linux: ~/.local/share/Vita3K/Vita3K
Android: Android/data/org.vita3k.emulator/files You can change it by editing config.yml's "pref-path" entry.

It runs surprisingly well on my phone, better than on my pc. I tried hatsune miku project diva x but it still suffers from the opening movie not rendering, which can be fixed deleting the file. Hooked a switch pro controller since touch screen for me is unbearable and it works well

Anyone try on Switchroot yet?

the switch is 6 years old hardware so even if it emulates android I don't think performance will be very good (might be wrong so feel free to correct me)

Yup I wouldn't expect full speed but still curious.

If it runs commercial games then it would be an improvement over vita2hos since that project seems to be stagnant since august of last year

Hows the compatability

Hows the compatability

I suppose it's the same as pc, here is the list https://vita3k.org/compatibility.html

I heard news that one game was the first to become compatible this is a super early port and will probably work on the higher end of mobile phones we'll have to wait for a while sadly until we get complete compatibility

I have a Samsung galaxy A22 5g, a mid range phone and I played Hatsune miku project diva x and it works surprisingly well

What are the "must-play" exclusives games on the vita ?

its available on ps4 also but I'd say gravity rush 1 and 2 those are two amazing games that are underrated imo
