Is it normal for the Vita TV to be seen as 90% charged?

Hi

So my Vita TV is reported as 90% charged. This causes PSP games to always have a battery indicator that it is charging. Any way to fix that?

So…this works with the Vita TV without any driver, just pair with its USB receiver and hold B and Start for 3 seconds. This thing is glorious. Six face buttons, four shoulders, clicky sticks.

Two player mode on Vita TV

I recently downloaded the Streets of Rage 2 Remake port for Vita. It's absolutely brilliant with widescreen support and much more. However is there a way to connect a second controller to be able to play in 2 player mode?

I haven't been able to find a mod for Vita TV to enable two player support.

Do you jailbreak pstv same way as vita? Can you swap memory cards?

I used this video for modding my vita and it worked flawlessly.

https://youtu.be/_f3Bb5qYpB8?si=zj6L-ySd_QNkJsoU

Can I follow these same steps to mod the pstv? He doesn’t say specifically yes or no in the video but wanted to double check.

Also, I’d like to be able to play the games on my vita on the pstv as well. Once I mod the pstv am I able to simply take the sd2vita out and put it in the pstv and resume play? Or are there more steps involved in that case?

Anyone know if this HDMI Switch works with PSTV and strips the HDCP?

I'm trying to find a good HDMI Switcher to run all my (non 4k) consoles through, so i don't have to swap cables around whenever I wanna plug something into my cap card and play it on my Computer Monitor/Stream it. Does anyone know if this HDMI Switch will strip the HDCP and actually let my Capture Card detect it?

Can't Set PS TV to 720p or 1080i

As the title suggests, I'm having an issue where I can only set my PS TV to 480p. To give some detail, I have an American PlayStation TV running Henkaku Enso CFW. The PS TV is plugged into my Elgato 4K60 capture card which is outputting to a 1080p television. When I go to Sound & Display in Settings and open Resolution, I see Automatic selectable and 480p selectable, but between them, 720p and 1080i are greyed out and not selectable. Adding the CFW the other day was admittedly the first time in YEARS I've used my PS TV, so if this is a quirk of CFW or something and I'm just an idiot, someone please let me know. If it's not, does anyone have any insight as to why it's not letting me set the resolution at 720p? Having it set to Automatic always outputs 480p seemingly regardless of the game.

Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any advice that anyone can give. Below is a screenshot of my Resolution options for reference.

Enso Mod!

Using the "Enso Mod" has made me love the PSTV even more! The world is your oyster after installing this mod! Using the "Sharpscale" and "Vita Shell - Frame rate" apps/plug-ins work wonderfully and put my ROG Oled gaming monitor to really good use! I'm on cloud 9 even after playing games on Vita/PSTV for eons. Making the decision to FINALLY install this mod was one of the best decisions I've ever made (gaming-wise). Modders, thanks for picking the ball where Sony left it!

Can't get DS3 or DS4 controller to pair wirelessly

I just got a PS TV and I cannot get any controllers to pair wirelessly to it. They'll work perfectly fine when connected via USB but do not connect once the cable is disconnected. I started by just plugging it in and pressing the PS button, which lets it connect, but as soon as I unplug it from the console the controller turns off and pressing the PS button does nothing. I've tested one DS3 and two DS4s with the same results.

I'm worried that this particular unit may just have a bad bluetooth radio. I got it off eBay for really cheap because it didn't turn on, which I was able to get fixed, but it's definitely possible that there is more wrong with it. The wifi also appears to not work.

Anyone have any troubleshooting ideas or maybe a creative way I can still use a wireless controller if the bluetooth just doesn't work?

PS TV Charging cable

What kind of power cable can I use for the PS TV other than can official psp one and those counterfeit Chinese ones. I used a fake psp charging cable and my system wouldn't boot (no surprises there) then USB to DC which made my system boot up but it didn't supply any power to the USB port on my system, therefore I couldn't connect a controller.

So please, can anyone help me find a decent charger that can make my PS TV work. I cannot find an official psp charger anywhere so I'm looking for a good alternative. Thanks.

Got motion controls to work on PSTV...

Amazing!! Playing Gravity Rush GR1 on PSTV with "sharpscale " and "motion controls" plug-ins activated using a dualshock 4. It's a beautiful thing!

Should I get a PSVita is I already ozn a PSTV?

I have a jailbroken PSTV with dolcepolce to play all games without any restrictions.

Some games look absolutely stunning on a monitor like Muramasa rebirth, others heavily pixelated like Gravity Rush.

I'm not too hot on portable systems but with the unlimited access to games using PKGj I feel like it could be a good investment.

Being a huge Miku fan I found a limited edition Miku vita for 200€.

is this a reasonable purchase or should I just save my money and get gravity rush remastered on PS4 for example? I don't like the idea of having 2 consoles that basically do the same thing. I do travel a lot though.

Why so much of the memory card used for "SYSTEM USE" on my vanilla PSTV?

Title: so my PSTV's been dug out of storage and plugged back in. It is running on the latest official firmware, and has a Sony Vita 32gb memory card installed.

It's never been anywhere close to that volume of memory used up by system use; tried restart to no avail. Tried rebuilding database which also didn't work.

For a console of this design to find a way to use up that much memory seems extremely implausible. Does anyone know why this problem has arisen, and also how to regain the 22gb of memory used up in that fashion?

THE SYSTEM WILL NOT BE MODDED

Vita TV Stand?

Someone made a post about this a bit under a year ago, but is there anywhere in particular I should shop for the official Vita TV Stand? Either the PowerA or HORI one is fine, i just want an official one.

VitaQuake on VitaTV

Anyone here tried VitaQuake? The read me says you can run it 1920x1080 on VitaTV if you have Sharpscale. I can’t get it to run in that resolution. Anyone know how to fix that resolution? https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/vitaQuake

Anyone have a PlayStation (Vita) TV US box only for the console they don’t want, need or wouldn’t mind getting rid of? I have a black US model with manuals but it didn’t come with the box.

I’m a disabled vet with terminal cancer in the US, so I have a tight budget unfortunately. Let me know. I believe there was only one model released in the US, but there was a few bundles. I do have Lego Vita game that came in some bundles id anyone has that box instead. Thanks in advance!
