The only slowdowns you (should) see compared to an actual PSP are only for loading times, as PSP mode has to use the kermit wrapper to access the Vita's memory card.Facebook SONY PS Vita emulator for Android & iOS INFO: Some people have actually found PSP games run faster on the Vita than they do on an actual PSP.
You shouldn't have any slow down or input lag in PSP mode, mostly because (according to some benchmarks) the Vita emulates the PSP's CPU around 200mhz faster than an actual PSP (something around 500mhz instead of 300-333mhz). I don't remember when, and I can't find it with my quick 5 second Google search, but I definitely remember reading it.Īnyways, the PSP emulation is near flawless. IIRC, someone on Wololo did a write up on this stuff.a while back.

Or is the vita hardware similar enough to the psp hardware that it can also read psp games ?Ģ) Does psp games have imput lag when played on vita ?Ĭan the framerate of psp games be lower on vita than on psp ?Īctually I know for a fact that framedrop is possible when there is a lot of elements on the screen, because I saw it on a video comparing a 60 fps psp rythm game on psp and vita, maybe it was project diva, and on the vita when a song that was really fast started to have a lot of notes on the screen the framerate started to drop, I assume because the higher resolution vita screen couldn't follow that speed. 1) How does the retro-compatibility works on Vita ? Does the vita totally emulates the psp ?ĭoes the vita has extra dedicated hardware for psp games ?
