Like, can it be hacked? Can I dump my PSP games and play them on the TV? That would almost be worth it. Anyone got any impressions on this thing?

Is there any reason to buy a PlayStation TV?

It is pretty good for emulation. PSP games work well, so do vita(even the ones blocked by sony on PS TV), psx, snes, gba and some of the other older consoles. Homebrew makes it worth it, especially if you can get it for cheap. Definitely better than the ps1 mini that they were selling.
Yes, it can.
Yep, you can do it. Adrenaline is the thing that does it.
Many buy it to play Persona 4 Golden on TV, though, but if you just want PSP and if you are willing to spend more, there are prob better SBC options, just look at their emulation performance in God of War and stuff.
Soul Sacrifice Delta is a pretty good reason to buy a Vita TV! Also, the thing is like dirt cheap so you really can't do much wrong here!
[Edit] Didn't realize they have become expensive. Oh well, Soul Sacrifice Delta is still worth it!

Yes, you can hack it. Yes, it will play PSP games. Yes, it is a very good PS1 emulator.
Now if you want to put native Vita stuff on there, that's kinda tricky. The OS updates did more that stabilize their defenses.
Either way, the price skyrocketed awhile back so good luck!

Hacking on Vita is pretty great (most of my time is spent in RetroArch), and that carries over to PSTV (minus the obvious portability factor). I haven't touched my PSTV in a while, but I've been messing around with my hacked Vita lately so I'd like to get it set up as a pseudo Switch (but worse since you have to take the memory card out and restart), so I can take my portable gaming to the big screen or use a more comfortable controller.
Wasn't there a rumor that the PS5 might play PSP and (some) Vita games?
Obviously not the Vita games that required the back touch pad, but anything that worked on the Playstation TV could theoretically work if the rumors are true.

Is that one multiplayer? I typically stick to the games with 2-4 player combat.
There's a translation patch for Vita/PSP Fortune Street? Omg I need to check this out.
I'm still stunned Atlas is just sitting on their hands about this. A critically acclaimed JRPG and the best version of it is still trapped on Vita/PSTV. After the warm reception to Persona 5, you'd think they'd try to exploit the momentum and break out their older games on the PS4.
Yup! Works with the DLC too! Was Vita only though, not PSP.

Awesome! Do you know if it supports multiple controllers on PSTV or just pass the controller? Assuming it has multi, anyway.Yup! Works with the DLC too! Was Vita only though, not PSP.

It has local multi, but I only tried with one controller, so not sure
I don't think it was. Makes sense when you think about it, as I'm unsure how they could implement a multiplayer aspect to a game originally for the Vita handheld.
I played all of Persona 3 Portable on mine because I kinda can't be bothered with portable games these days, it worked pretty well. It'll be where I replay Persona 4 Golden eventually too if Atlus continues to refuse to port it elsewhere
Gonna hack it at some point, as well

I honestly found it useless and only used it for a few hours. If I have access to a TV then I'd rather play console games since they were designed with less limitations in mind than PSP and Vita games. Maybe you're more enthusiastic about the PSP and Vita libraries than I am though. I found both Vita and PSP games to look pretty rough on the TV. My dated laptop also emulates anything better than that thing with the exception of Vita games of course.
If you want to play PSP games on the TV then it does get the job done from my experience.

It lets you play Persona 4 Golden over HDMI, with a DualShock 4.
I bought mine for $40 and it was absolutely worth it for that function alone.
It's nifty for playing PSP (or Vita) games on the TV. Completely worthless unmodded though.
Don't think it's worth the current going rate though. I got mine for like $30 or so during the fire sales.

Shiren, Killzone and Muramasa on your TV.
Three reasons, OP ! :P
Terrible port.

Yes to your questions. Might be worth noting that PSTVs are coming up in price though; they aren't at the like $25, give-em-away price they were a few years ago.
Also probably worth noting that if you plan on hacking the Vita OS, there's methods to "dock" a regular, ole' Vita too. Given the price of a PSTV these days, it might be better to just get a regular Vita if you have any interest in portability.

O.O There is? And you can use a DS4? Might need to look into this.
Recently used 0syscall6 to whitelist everything on there.
Have been continuing my Danganronpa playthrough on the TV, which for some reason isnt on the whitelist in the EU version.
Oh and also finished Persona 4 on there.
Just moved my save from the Vita to the TV through PS+.
And now I can also play all my PSP game dumps on there.

You can attach a external memory source to it. It's better than the vita for that feature. It's worth it if you're not spending $100+ on it. And yeah p4g on a tv. Not for apps, it's purely an emulation box / psp/PSV box
I see it referred to as docking by folks out there which is why I used the term, but it's actually just streaming over USB. I believe you need a PC or a Raspberry Pi 3 to do it.
As you can probably tell I've never done it myself, but I've heard it works pretty well. Not sure how the image quality stacks up to the PSTV, but the PSTV image quality isn't great so probably not a huge worry. If you google something like "vita stream to pc" you should find details.
Yes, and yes. Although you don't need to do any dumping to play any Playstation store purchased PSP games on the the thing.
Aren't they like craaaaazy expensive used now?
I bought mine for like $30 at best buy and sold iirc a couple years ago for like $150. I thought I saw now they were like over $200.
