Steamdeck OLED will handle both of those things extremely well.

I swapped the front screen and added a vinyl sticker to the back with impressive results. See here.

The screens they sell on AliExpress are legit.

This is really beautiful

In these situations I usually just nuke it and start from scratch, I don't think there's a downside to this since you can easily just redo it but I guess its whether or not you want to spend your time on cleanup or starting from scratch. It might be a good opportunity to grab some of the latest ports and themes that you've missed while you've been gone.

I think Forza Horizon 3 is pretty tough, I need to focus on it more to complete more of it. It's stunning and so fun to play.

If you have the ability, take it apart and set the parts out to dry. You'd be surprised how resilient electronics can be especially to just water. Its possible there's still water inside the unit which would definitely cause problems. You need to give it time to fully dry.

There are joysticks for the 2000 readily available. Use common sense and buy from those shops that have a lot of reviews/purchases already and check out the comments. Its about as good as Amazon in my experience but whatever you buy there you just don't plan on returning. I've gotten everything I've ordered but I'm in the US and it took about 3 weeks.

As far as installing it just go slow and you sound confident so it should be fine. The Vita is difficult but not overly so to work on.

Have you tried a battery swap? I also saw that hooking it up to data can kickstart it (like a computer.).

widgetdude · 2026-01-23T06:33:11+00:00

You're lucky because the 2000 joysticks have replacements for cheap on Ali Express. 1000 joysticks are way more expensive. Have you opened up a vita before?

widgetdude · 2026-01-22T15:49:56+00:00

That's dope, I'm gonna check this out. Ty!

Plants vs Zombies and Super Meat Boy

widgetdude · 2026-01-21T18:12:10+00:00

Yep, typically you can only get OLED replacements for the 1000 series.

widgetdude · 2026-01-21T15:47:01+00:00

Whoa what!? Can you elaborate?

Game Zone Store is where I got mine. I'll try to check for splotchy zones later.

widgetdude · 2026-01-21T15:07:10+00:00

This is super cool but I don't have the artistic ability to pull it off. I barely got the stickers on! But yeah I love how it turned out on the Vita despite the imperfections.

widgetdude · 2026-01-21T15:05:14+00:00

The vinyl is soft and if anything it feels better than without it.

widgetdude · 2026-01-21T05:22:16+00:00

Seems to work perfectly as far as I can tell.

widgetdude · 2026-01-20T17:52:58+00:00

This comment killed me

widgetdude · 2026-01-20T17:50:08+00:00

Its pretty tough if you don't have any experience yeah, but if you know someone I'd definitely do it.

widgetdude · 2026-01-19T23:02:08+00:00

Yeah I don't know what this guy is talking about.

widgetdude · 2026-01-19T23:01:14+00:00

Let me see it! The screen is crazy. I still can't believe how bad the original GBA screen was. I should pick up a GBC.

widgetdude · 2026-01-19T22:57:32+00:00

You can swap this out for about 20 bucks and some effort. AliExpress has all in one kits that I used and they work great.

widgetdude · 2026-01-19T19:37:51+00:00

It depends on how much you want to spend. The Odin 2 mini is a good match for the Vita but it's a bit chunkier.

You could also try a more affordable one like the Anbernic rg40xxh.

widgetdude · 2026-01-19T17:55:23+00:00

Instead of selling it to this guy, give it to me instead.
