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.

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

gravity rush 2 is only on ps4 i think.

on a side note, the performance should be a lot better than aethersx2, considering the real vita hardware is using a similar architecture from a 2013-2014ish era android phones.

Wait I could of sworn gravity rush 1 and 2 are available for ps vita or maybe I confused ps4 and vita

only the original gravity rush is on the psvita, even that was ported to the ps4.
it's sad how their own developer jumped ship and took away one of its best selling game.

kinda like how most ps2 games got a port to psp and vice versa but well it was a sequel and a port so not entirely the same : P

Soul Sacrifice Delta and Freedom Wars the only ones I can think of. Most of the Vita's library is on PS3, PS4, PC, or Switch. Or ports of PS2 games like the Jak collection. Toukiden Kiwami and Toukiden 2 are solid but they're also on PC.

I'd add MonsterBag and Monster Monpiece to the list, latter only if you cant play the PC equivalent on the go by other means (and not without using a certain patch)

Anyone try on Switchroot yet?

I installed the apk and the emulator boots up just fine but haven’t had the cycles to actually install a game yet and see if it performs with a real workload. Hopefully after work.

I'd say play the Vita version because the PC one doesn't havbe multiplayer. Not really my cup of tea though.

I have tested several games in my Samsung galaxy A32 5G and all of them worked well. This emulator is awesome.

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.

Easy to say than done

And how this is harder than writing emulator itself?

I have no coding knowledge tbh

A shame, but at least we did get GR2, which was more than I was expecting.

agreed. contrary to what most people said about it, i say it is still an improvement over the original. too bad there won't be another game since the studio went under.
