So what exactly can a hacked PS Vita do? As it turns out, quite a lot…let’s take a look at some of the best features that ‘unlock’ when you use a hacked PS Vita!īizarrely, considering this is a Sony console, the Vita wasn’t the best at running media apps, which are mostly discontinued or non-functioning these days (with the console’s official YouTube app seeing its support removed as far back as 2015).
However, it’s not a difficult process – and it opens up a wealth of possibilities for the aging console.

Hacking the console is a relatively straightforward process – but no, we won’t be telling you how to do it here we at Retro Dodo Towers would never condone such a thing, would we? And here’s a quick warning just to be clear: you do run the risk of bricking your console if you do hack it incorrectly. That doesn’t mean that your Vita is dead, however – far from it. So, with its age approaching a decade now (as well as its sales figures having been way below Sony’s expectations) we’ve undoubtedly seen all there is to see from an official point of view. The biggest issue the Vita faced wasn’t with any design issues of its own – it just found itself in a space that was rapidly evolving, with smartphones rapidly replacing the need for a dedicated, separate gaming device for most people interested in entertainment on the move. The Vita was packed with inventive features such as a rear touchpad to go with the dual analogue controls, motion control and touchscreen, giving developers lots of options for the games created for the system. It’s a shame that it relied on expensive, proprietary storage for its memory (another classic Sony move, unfortunately) – which was one reason for its slow sales, with an estimated 10-15 million units sold a far cry from its predecessor, the Sony PlayStation Portable, and its estimated 80-82 million units sold – but it’s hard to find fault with many other aspects of the console.
Partly, it’s because of the beautiful screen (original models featured an OLED, but subsequent revisions of the console had LCD screens in order to cut costs) which is still impressive even now – but it’s just a brilliantly designed, high-quality bit of kit all round, which is to be expected from Sony.

So you’ve got a PS Vita eh? Sony’s genuinely superb portable console is nearly ten years old, yet – unlike other consoles from the same era – has aged incredibly well.
