This will help you turn a modded Vita into a VitaTV
- You're using other controller than the one connected to RetroPie.
- Resolution is still the same as on Vita.
( You don't need to install them yourself now. The guide will walk you through step-by-step :) )
- Vita UDCD UVC by xerpi - Allows streaming the PS Vita through a USB cable.
- ds4vita or ds3vita by xerpi - Allows using DualShock 4/3 through Bluetooth with Vita. (Choose which controller you have)
- MiniVitaTV by TheFloW - Tricks Vita into thinking that it's actually a VitaTV. You can play local multiplayer games but it's buggy and unsupported.
- For the audio to work you need to connect Jack to Jack cable from Vita to your TV/Monitor/Speakers.
On the Vita you just need to install some plugins and restart the console. You can do it in 2 ways:
- Search and install udcd-uvc, ds4/3vita, and MiniVitaTV.
- Reboot the console, and you're done here.
- Download udcd_uvc.skprx from here.
- Copy that file onto your Vita's SD Card to:
ur0:tai
- Download ds4vita.skprx from here or ds3vita.skprx from here.
- Copy it to the same folder as previously.
- Download ds3.skprx and minivitatv.skprx from here.
- (I'm not sure if you can use ds4/3vita and ds3 together, I had problems with my DS4 when using both)
- Copy both files to the same folder as previously.
- Open your taiHEN config file (probably
ur0:tai/config.txt
) using app like VitaShell:- Add udcd_uvc under
*KERNEL
section with a line like this:ur0:tai/udcd_uvc.skprx
- Add ds4vita under
*KERNEL
section with a line like this:ur0:tai/ds4vita.skprx
- (Optionally) Add minivitatv and ds3 under
*KERNEL
section with a line like this:
ur0:tai/minivitatv.skprx ur0:tai/ds3.skprx
- Add udcd_uvc under
- Reboot your console and it should work as intended!
- Open Settings app on your Vita.
- Go to
Devices > Bluetooth Devices
and find your controller here. - After connecting it once, you can press PS button on your controller to connect it anytime without going into settings.
- Connect to your RetroPie through SSH
- Install mpv using
sudo apt-get install mpv
- Go to one of the rom directories (I went to
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports
) - Create a new file using
nano Vita.sh
(You can name the file whatever you want, but it needs to end with.sh
) - Paste this content in it:
#!/bin/bash mpv av://v4l2:/dev/video0 --profile=low-latency --untimed --fs exit
- Save using
ctrl+x
- Exit the SSH session.
- Restart EmulationStation or the whole system.
- Connect your DualShock controller with Vita. (PS button if you've already connected it once)
- Connect Vita to your Raspberry Pi using an USB cable.
- Find and run the script you've just made (
Vita.sh
, should show asVita
in EmulationStation) - You should now see your Vita screen!
- If you want to exit it use
Q
on a keyboard connected to your Pi.
Congratulations, if everything went as it should you now have a VitaTV!
