Wasn't sure where to post this so I'm doing it here. Sorry if I am posting it in the wrong place. I was just thinking that the ppsspp emulator is on the verge of perfection. It is almost perfect the way it is and since the latest hype is all about ps vita, maybe the ppsspp team, which so dedicatedly built a psp emulator which was considered to be impossible at that time, would make a ps vita emulator and astonish the entire world? I mean most people would pay for a ps vita emulator. The development of an unnamed 3ds emulator took some years but they were received with much enthusiasm and got donations(money+ old 3ds) for their work. I'm sure you guys would receive more support because ps vita is popular than 3ds. The games are more fun too. Its true with the controls of ps vita(the touch screen, the additional stick), figuring out how it works, it might be difficult to replicate such ann emulator but ppsspp team would be well received. All in all I would support you till the very end. Cheers!

Ummmm.... the controls are the smallest issue.
Here are a small list of bigger issues
1. The architecture of the main chipset is completely different (psp - mips, vita - arm)
2. The psp was cracked long long ago and as far as I know you can not make a backup and run it on a physical vita currently which would be a bare minimum starting point for making an emulator. Well you can make an unrunnable (even on the vita that dumped it) encrypted backup.
So really a vita emulator would mainly be able to run vita homebrew (and maybe psp homebrew), but you can just make those games for android or pc or any platform and not incur the penalty for trying to run it inside an emulated system.

So..Its like porting ps vita games for pc is easier than making an emulator for vita and running all the games universally? As in not even a physical dump, in the case of 3ds, could help? I had no idea really.
So in other words, its next to impossible(or really difficult) to make a ps vita emulator, is that it?

Especially if it is the first emulator for a system. Those get people's interest so much that occasionally even scams make the emulation news before people find out. So for a new emulator emulating a system that has never been emulated before I don't recomend being the first person to try it out (unless you are using a virtual machine or a PC your about to do a wipe and full install on that is not hooked up to the internet).

The first emulator for PS Vita to exist is Vita3K all others are fake(unless proved otherwise)

Hi, I just finished installing a PS Vita 3K emulator, and immediately, I got the error [logging::init::<lambda_2>::operator ()]: Unhandled C++ exception. Bad conversion. Any suggestions?"
