新规参战!
A new project called Vita3k is in the early stages and is an Experimental PS
Vita Emulators for Windows and MacOS. Currently commercial games does not run
but various homebrew has been running such as Quake & VitaTester (among some
other other utilities). This emulator has a long road ahead but has already
progressed nicely as well. Will "Vita3k" be to the Vita, what PPSSPP was to
PSP emulation, time will only tell. Also if you would like contribute to the
project you can find the source code hosted @ github,
Why is it needed?
- With the PlayStation Vita approaching end-of-life, there has never been a
more important time to preserve compatibility with the existing PS Vita
software library.
- Given that the PS4 doesn't run PS Vita software (or even PS3 or PSP software
for that matter), we can't rely on Sony to maintain compatibility with PS
Vita software in the future. We need to step up and build that compatibility
ourselves.
Initial Roadmap
- Audio support
- First release (Windows, macOS, source code)
- Continuous Integration to build releases automatically
- Support .psv (game card backup) file format
- Ongoing work to improve and expand compatibility
- Ongoing work to improve performance
Feature wish list
- Network play
- High resolution rendering
- Custom shaders
Compatibility
- The emulator currently runs a few homebrew programs in .vpk format. No
commercial games are playable. vitaQuake by Rinnegatamante &,VitaTester by
SMOKE5
Running
- The emulator does not yet have a front end. Please specify the path to a .vpk
file as the first command line argument.
Bugs and issues
- The project is at an early stage, so please be sensitive to that when opening
new issues. Expect crashes, glitches, low compatibility and poor performance.
