I do not indorse piracy but you can and have the ability to play backups of your VITA and other retro titles. What is great is that you can downgrade your VITA to the correct firmware. Credits: Red Orchestra 2 - Garand Rifle Audio Animations Insurgency - Scope rail & clip round.
If you are 3.73 the CTF will have to be installed after every reboot or turn on. If you are going to CFW your VITA I suggest you use firmware 3.65 or below.
The VITA is quite easy to add CFW, and the number of apps and programs that support the device is outstanding. In terms of making a portable retro console, I would have to say that the VITA wins hands down, especially when comparing it to others like the 3DS and Retropie Builds. Despite the VITA no longer being developed and produced, getting your hands on such a piece of hardware provides a great means of portable retro fun.
You can add many attachments to your phone to simulate a console, but you will never have that true feel of a portable console. The death of mobile consoles can be contributed to the rise of smartphones. The concept of portable gaming was very much a part of my childhood, starting with the Gameboy. Excluding the Nintendo Switch, the PS VITA marked the end of the portable console.
