There was a hack someone discovered that let you get around the PSTV whitelist but idk if they fixed it. It involved you emailing a text list to yourself of a new whitelist with every game listed as playable and if you opened it in the email app the system just assumed it was real as long as you didn't open the store app and update it, lol.

I love my vita but if you pay more than $150 for the system and the memory card together you're making a mistake I think.

it has a whitelist of games built in so you dont try to open a game based 100% around the touchscreen

but no one cares about the vita or pstv so they dont add their games to the list

Especially if you buy that new slim Vita which is apparently inferior in just about every aspect except maybe size.

the store also makes no indication about games work or not, so you could buy a game and download it, only to be told when going to play it that its not supported

Yeah, the idea is that they wanted publishers to opt in case by case so touch screen dependent games wouldn't be purchasable on a PSTV, which makes sense. But most publishers just don't give a poo poo which is why perfectly playable stuff like Ys still isn't supported

the pstv launched without support for ps4 controllers so if you dont have a ps3 controller theres a possibility you could buy one and get one with old firmware and be unable to navigate the menus to update it

three was a guy on reddit working on an android app that would emulate amiibos so you could just load a pikachu on your phone and your phone nfc would look like a pikachu to your wii u. after a few updates he said sorry, deleted a bunch of posts, and closed his account

I'd be worried that sony would just update the software on the ps4 to just deny this from working.
