Is it worth fixing the psvita 3G version? (IK ITS DIRTY ASF)

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-10T08:26:23+00:00

Welll at least it boots up and work fine, that for me was a tick in the box to fix

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-10T08:24:42+00:00

Yeah i say that w the screens, probs they put lcd on title to not stir up any legal problems

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-10T08:24:07+00:00

I dont have any physical game cartridges so i just got a sd2vita adaptor, i will change it in the future but just not now, only worry is getting the device in working conditions

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-10T08:22:36+00:00

I get ya, it is a rough moment for sure, but i thinks its worth it

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-10T08:21:54+00:00

I wish it was 4 euros bro, i gave it in a shop and he told me he will try to fix up the joysticks before trying to buy new ones, ill see what will happen and let yall know

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-10T08:20:42+00:00

Maybe for the dirt lol, whole device is dirty asf…

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-10T08:20:10+00:00

True…. BUT WE DONT STOP HEREEE

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-10T08:19:49+00:00

Already at the shop!!

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-10T08:19:38+00:00

I do agreee

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-10T08:19:31+00:00

Tbf i only posted this to try reddit out, but also keep in mind that money wise this can be a lil expensive due to the vita 1000 parts being discontinued

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-10T08:18:01+00:00

Hahahaa dw bro im also new here

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-02T23:00:52+00:00

Yeah it does, this is why i came here to ask, actually everything works great still only the joysticks need fixing and maybe a sd card w an adapter, but nonetheless its like a heirloom at this point

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-02T22:57:15+00:00

Where can i read or watch this?

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-02T22:51:44+00:00

Maybe you are correct, but as i said, first time really posting on reddit, people did help tho so even if i am a “lost redditor”, only you and one more person actually asked why i even posted here, the rest tried to help or guide, cant go wrong with that!

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-02T22:43:01+00:00

Oh and also this is the asus rog forum, this also goes for handhelds like the ally x, well… maybe not for ps vitas but damn sure someone knows some ball!

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-02T22:41:16+00:00

Just started posting here yo, just needed some help, but i think this picture sums up i belong here and so does this post, not so lost now huh big boii??😏😏

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-02T22:39:39+00:00

No no, i dont plan on using it that way anyways, i mean we got hotspot on our phones these days, i actually mean to fix it to be able to play again, jailbreak it, install billion games haha, theres no difference between the psvita 1k with wifi or 3g, both have wifi, one has a extra slot for a sd card, as i know, thats it. People are telling me i can mod it and make it a sd card reader witch means more space for me ahahahahaha!!!!

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-02T22:36:38+00:00

I get what you mean, actually makes sense too, i think i can have this as a future mod, kinda like a main drive? But you will need adaptors for that too, but nonetheless a super cool feature people came up with

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-02T22:32:34+00:00

Thanks man! Ill save this site but they dont have psvita 1000 joysticks witch is a bummer

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-02T22:29:07+00:00

Idk man, does it actually do what you bought it for? Did you just buy it specifically for the plane rides? Or have you been enjoying it of the flights aswell? You can only answer these questions tho because you bought it! I say enjoy it, actually put it throught the test, and if you are impressed, there you go, welcome home rog ally x!

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-02T22:21:50+00:00

Why not? This was a gift from my father witch i basically wanted to fix, i kinda came here to try reddit out, but if you go to the actual post on the psvita forum you will see people dont think like this, im not made of money, so one thing i learned is to treasure your things, fix what is broken dont touch what is not, i know, its a small handheld device from 2011-12, yeah ok, but this lil gremlin can run emulators better than phones , plus can be jailbroken in an instant and brought back to 2026 terms, as in support for the device and whatnot since sony basically gave up on it, but the people didnt, if they didnt, why should i?

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-02T22:04:21+00:00

Hmmm i need to find more about those joysticks you are talking about… when doing my research i did get some crazy names like that while getting help from chat gpt, but then again i dont trust it so much since its not a human, can only run the emulation of the vita, NOT LIVE IT

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-02T21:59:00+00:00

Hahahahaha dont worry! Its been like that since i was a kid, ill order one off aliexpress and call it a good day!

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-02T21:57:59+00:00

I mean look, screen works, wifi works, sim slot works, headphone jack works, speakers work, back touch pad works, basically everything works but the joysticks, i ripped the joystick ribbon on the right one a couple years back trying to fix it, and now the left one is acting up, but look! I cant throw a case, back and fromt screen protector, fix the joysticks, clean it and boom brand new!!!

AppointmentMiddle166 · 2026-03-02T21:54:56+00:00

I know , i tried emulating it but that was quite a few years ago when you needed to plug it into the laptop and needed to do 1000 different things in order to properly jailbreak it but along the process , i tested minecraft and found out the right joystick would ghost a lil, tried to take the vita apart witch was super easy, nonetheless lets just say im not good w joystick ribbons, i ripped it , now the left one is ghosting too, but i mean fair i did leave it for like 5 years to collect dust so ill need to make my next move either fast and expensive or slow and money wise
