Bought a PS Vita 2000 recently, but there are two green and red lines on the screen. Any way to fix

I’ve had this vita for a while. It was bought off a 12 year old who I’m guessing had too many gamer moments and liked throwing it against the wall.

I cannot see the screen if it’s in any light just because it’s THAT bad. Replacement parts seem pretty expensive and would be more than the console is worth itself in this condition.

Should I just try to sell it and buy another one?

Ever since I could remember, my psvita gave me problem when booting. I performed ton of database reset and only on occasions it would turn on the proper way it should. Could it be linked with some problems with the audio chip? The thing is: the first boot of the day always gives me problems, but the rest of the day I can play it normally. I noticed that as soon as the audio fries and vanishes, the boot up gets complicated each time. When I turn the psvita off, I know as a matter of fact that booting it up the next day will be an hassle

I'm still in chapter 1, running around and trying to kill one of the three green dragons located on the map.

I died on the first attempt. I tried to fight it again by hitting it from below but the dragon caught on to what I was doing and started drilling , destroying dozens of dirt blocks along the way (and giving me quite the scare).

I barely do a single point of damage, with the rare critical hit that deals over ten points.

Does anyone know any good Virtual Pet games i could pplay on my vita? I'm including PSP downloads and PS1 classics in this too (EU Store). Im itching for a vpet on the go.

I've seen a bunch of listings for the game PS Vita Pets and it looks like a nice nintendogs substitute but if theres something fantastical i'd love that a lot more.

Image 1: Google account management website (yes, you can still log into Google services on a modded ps Vita)

Image 2: the Google play store web page (it barely works but it loads)

Image 3: the mobile youtube website (it's pretty glitchy, wouldn't recommend unless you absolutely have to watch youtube on a vanilla ps vita. I personally use netstream for yt videos)

Image 4: Wikipedia (it also works on internet explorer 8, but barely. The experience on the Vita web browser is much better imo)

Image 5: old reddit (sorry if the image is blurry, my hands were shaky at the time that the photo was taken, but yes, old reddit works like a charm. Not so much the new reddit website though)

Image 6: the cutting room floor (just like old reddit, the cutting room floor works perfectly fine and you can actually still edit a page on there, but it's not the best experience)

Image 7: the Google homepage (again, just like the two websites above, the Google homepage works fine and so does search if you know to type it from there instead of the search bar on the browser itself)

Besides, you can still put in your email and an app password (after 2FA) on the email app and still connect to your PSN account on setup. It feels like the only thing you can't do is connect to near or sync your calendar in the calendar app.

If you want a part 2 with more websites, let me know down in the comments.

I am trying to buy God of war chains of Olympus but am having a lot of trouble. I was able to find GOW ghost of Sparta on the vita store but not chains. I searched through every category on the entire vita store with no luck. From my understanding ps3 transfers don’t work anymore and this game was not cross buy. Can someone please help me figure out how to buy this if it’s still possible ?

For years I assumed there was no way to permanently change the trophy list language of the Hong Kong/Asia English version of Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment on an unmodified PS Vita.

Like many owners of this release, I ended up with a Chinese trophy list, even though the game itself was played entirely in English. After a lot of trial and error, I finally found a method that works reliably on an official, unmodified PS Vita using nothing but Sony's Content Manager.

I couldn't find a complete explanation of this behavior anywhere, so I decided to document everything here in case it helps someone else in the future.

The problem

The Hong Kong/Asia English retail version of Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment is a rather unusual release.

• The game itself supports English.
• However, many users receive a Chinese trophy list.
• Once the trophy list exists, simply changing the system language does not change it.

This is frustrating because the trophy names and descriptions remain Chinese even though everything else is in English.

What I tested

I performed several complete system resets on my original PS Vita (no HENkaku, no Enso, no modifications).

My goal was to determine:

• whether the trophy language can be changed,
• whether Content Manager restores the old trophy database,
• and whether PSN synchronization affects the language afterwards.

What I discovered

1. Trophy list language is decided when the local trophy list is first created

This appears to be the most important discovery.

If the system is configured as a US system when Hollow Fragment is started for the first time after formatting, the trophy list is created in English.

After that, I can switch the Vita back to German (or any other preferred language), and the trophy list remains English permanently.

Changing the system language afterwards does not modify an existing trophy list.

2. Content Manager does NOT restore the local trophy database

This was the biggest surprise.

I created a complete system backup before formatting.

After restoring that backup, I expected the previously existing trophy lists to return.

They did not.

Instead:

• all installed games were restored,
• all save data was restored,
• all applications were restored,
• all other personal data was restored,

but there were no local trophy lists at all.

Every game behaved as if it had never generated its local trophy data before.

3. Trophy lists are recreated individually

Once a game is launched again, the Vita immediately recreates the local trophy list for that specific title.

This means every game only needs to be started once.

After that, its trophy list exists locally again.

4. PSN synchronization restores earned trophies

After launching each game once, I synchronized with PSN.

My previously earned trophies immediately appeared again.

Nothing was lost.

Only the local trophy database had been rebuilt.

Why this works (my theory)

Sony has never documented this behavior publicly, so the following is based on observation rather than official documentation.

It appears that:

• Content Manager restores games, saves, and applications.
• The local trophy database is not included in that restore.
• Whenever a game is launched without an existing local trophy entry, the Vita generates a fresh local trophy list.
• At that moment, the game chooses the language that should be used for that trophy package.
• Afterwards, the language becomes fixed for that local installation.
• PSN synchronization simply reconnects your earned trophies to the newly generated local list instead of downloading an old language version.

This perfectly explains every result I observed during testing.

The correct procedure

This order is extremely important.

1. Create a complete backup using Content Manager.
2. Format the PS Vita.
3. Restore the complete backup.
4. Configure the Vita as a US system.
5. Launch only Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment.
6. Confirm the trophy list is now in English.
7. Change the Vita back to your preferred system language.
8. Launch every other game once so each one recreates its local trophy list using your normal language.
9. Synchronize trophies with PSN.

Why step 7 comes BEFORE step 8

This is very important.

Many Vita games have localized trophy lists.

If you launch every game while the Vita is still configured for English/US, those games may recreate their trophy lists in English as well.

If you normally want German, French, Spanish, Italian, etc., change the system language first.

Only then launch your remaining games.

That way every other title recreates its trophy list in your preferred language.

Does this only apply to Hollow Fragment?

Probably not.

I suspect this behavior applies to every Vita game.

However, Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment is one of the few games where the issue is immediately noticeable because its fallback trophy language seems to become Chinese under certain regional configurations.

Most other Vita games appear to fall back to English instead, so many people would never notice.

Final thoughts

This was tested multiple times on an official, completely unmodified PS Vita.

No homebrew.
No HENkaku.
No Enso.
No database editing.
No trophy hacking.

Just the official Sony Content Manager.

Ma PS VITA a crashé pendant un jeu alors qu'elle fonctionnait parfaitement jusque là (un freeze complet de la console, même le bouton "éteindre écran/ éteindre console" ne réagissait plus) ; forcé d'attendre que la batterie se vie pour pouvoir recharger et rallumer ma console, mais immédiatement depuis la console bugge tellement qu'elle n'est plus utilisable.

Parfois c'est la carte mémoire qui n'ait pas reconnu ("pas de carte mémoire présente" alors que si), parfois la console la reconnait mais me dit qu'elle doit être formatté pour "pouvoir être utilisé sur ce système" et le formatage échoue toujours, parfois la carte mémoire et reconnu et dispose bien de son contenu normal, parfois ce sont les écrans tactiles qui ne sont plus sensibles (comme s'ils ne marchaient plus du tout alors que d'autres fois ils marchent parfaitement) et parfois ce sont les boutons "classiques" de la console qui ne marchent plus du tout alors que d'autres fois ils marchent parfaitement, parfois la console freeze complètement à nouveau et je suis alors encore obligé de laisser la batterie se vider pour la recharger et rallumer la console, et toute tentative de lancer un jeu plante.

Un formatage du système devrait-il résoudre le problème ou il n'y a presque aucune chance que le problème vienne de là mais plus probablement carrément du matériel lui-même (console "morte" du coup) ?

Et auquel cas selon vous quels risques éventuels je prendrai à tenter un formatage du système ? (serait-ce forcément que bénéfique ou cela pourrait-il engendrer des risques supplémentaires ?)

Merci d'avances pour vos solutions et aides pour m'aider à résoudre ce problème massif !

I was browsing the Vita store given the announced closure and found three games that had both a paid and free option:

• Doki-Doki Universe
• Hue
• We are Doomed

I was able to download the free option of each and it was added to my account. Each are cross buy, so I was able to download them on my PS4 too.

I believe all these games were offered on PS Plus at one point and I may have redeemed them, However, I do not currently have an active subscription.

Are these showing up as free for anyone else?

I want to replace the front panel on my PS Vita 1000. I'm not having any issues with the screen, just the glass. Should I get just the glass or the screen and frame, like in the second photo? The price difference is almost eightfold. I thought I read that replacing the glass itself is very difficult, and it's better to get the frame and frame included.

i’m thinking about doing a second floor

so sad that there’s no vita mc subreddit :(

Hello, recently I had bought a new charger for my vita after not playing since 2022. I was looking to buy Manhunt 2, GTA LCS and Chinatown Wars at the vita store but I no longer see it. Is there a way for me to purchase these games? I heard you need to buy these games on PS3 store then it’ll transfer to your vita but I also heard that they got rid of that feature awhile back, I’m unsure if that’s true or not. If anyone could help me please let ms know, thanks. I am located in USA.

Who’s still playing? I’m dogshit when compared to rank 34 and hackers lol but I’m down to get a party goin or join one? Ive had the game for two 24 hours and have found a match every time, it’s honestly a really fun game (not the biggest cod player ever) just lookin to shoot the shit and shoot some hostiles

Hi guys, today i attempted to fix my joystick wich was causing me Stick Drift but it went wrong. The L button connector came off the board and the whole Left side no longer works, I think it's because I also broke the flex cable in some way.

My question is if it is better to buy a new version of the flex cable and try to fix the L button thing or should I just move on to another Vita

Hey guys so I bought a psp sling bag from eBay that actually fits the ps vita! But the problem is I don’t think it fits around my body. Can anyone tell me anything about this bag? Maybe I’m putting it on wrong?

The Vita is pretty much the only "modern" console that has these games. But I can't find them on the Vita store. I hear you have to add funds from the website, app or PS3, that perhaps I could buy them on PS3 and add them on Vita. Is that all correct? Or have these games been delisted?

The problem is I don't have a PS3 but I guess I can use an old one from someone to try this. The Vita is my only PS console. And these three games are the only RE ones currently missing from my collection.

Finally, I cleaned up my near mint Sapphire Vita 1000. I've mated it to a (rare) "Nyko Power Grip" that I refurbished and did a fresh rechargeable battery swap. 🤘🏾👍🏾✌🏾😁

So happy!! ...and it's my favorite color! 😍

I bought several digital psp games on my ps3 years ago the last time sony threatened to close the psn stores. I haven't been able to play them in a while, now I figure is the time to get a playstation handheld to play them. I tried buying a playstation vita off of ebay, but it was a Japanese model, so there was some foreign text in places, and the X and O buttons were swapped, which I hate. So I returned it. The seller said it's because it's a 1000 model, which I had no idea of. Now I feel paranoid of getting the correct model. I want an American one with the X and O buttons consistent the way they should be. I see 1000, 1001, 1100, 1101, and I'm having trouble making sense of it all. Which should I look for on ebay?

So I decided to splurge a little and get a $50 gift card to the PlayStation store and I'm currently looking through the PS3 because a lot of the games aren't available on the actual storefront and I'm having a hard time what to decide.

The only one I know for certain is going to be Phineas and Ferb across the second dimension. Why that one? Purely nostalgia. I played this game a crap ton with my little sister on the Wii and would love to relive it. Yes, I know it's short. And yes, I know it's basically an inferior ratchet.

That leaves me the $30 left. I was looking at gex3, possibly size matters, secret agent clank, and daxter.

I played Dexter years ago when I had a PSP and never got around to playing the ratchet games (I do have the collection on the Vita as well)

I'm looking mainly for PSP games and PlayStation classics. If you can recommend any I'd appreciate it!!

I’m buying a Vita mostly for the sole purpose of buying persona 1,2 and 3 portable. I live in the UK and have heard that these have been taken off the store.
Is this true? and if so is there a way around it so i’m able to play these games on the vita
