My question/comment is this:
I understand that Henkaku is a cool concept, and it can be fun for some to develop their own games and run their own custom code on the device, however ultimately, aside from emulators, and other ripped games (psp and maybe vita if that becomes popular), what do you really gain from a hacked vita?
I have an original psp(fat) and I have enjoyed running gameboy emulators on it along with homebrew like cavestory, but it was not a perfect experience. The constant firmware upgrade chase between sony and gamers, buggy homebrew with tiny text and a non-streamlined interface, not being able to play newer UMDs because of firmware locks...in the end, I spent so much time chasing down little details when I could have just been enjoying some of the great game that it had to offer.
The vita already has a ton of great content plus remote play, which I think make it a awesome little device. I get it that there is always the challenge of hacking it just to say you did it, but how many people who have "hacked" their device actually use that capability more than just playing their games?
