I hope we DO have a way for the hacks to exist next to PSN access so that I can still buy new games as they come out

Sony makes every effort to choke Vita any time it shows signs of life in the West, and they don't even need to use piracy excuse for doing that.
Besides, any westerner interested in (a very few) Vita titles worth pirating has already bought them (years ago) or played/pirated multiplatform titles on other systems.
The Japanese may have some real lost sales if Vita piracy happens in the near future, but since almost none of Japanese titles make it over here in the first place (let alone uncensored), it makes no difference to the rest of the world. Vita, being "legacy platform" (they explicitly said "platform", not "model" or whatever that damage control attempt implied) is all but officially dead in the West already anyway. It's a beautiful device with a lot of unused potential, and homebrew is the way to go regardless of whether it enables piracy or not. At least for those staying on firmware 3.51 (would be nicer if it was 3.55 though) and below.
Edit: it would be even nicer it was "Revitalise" instead of "Rejuvenate", but we can't have too many nice things at once.

Agreed. I think the only handheld that is more powerful specwise would be the Nvidea Shield, but I could be mistaken. Having the entire emulator library from the PSP + more would definitely be a good thing. For now, I would suggest that somebody gets in contact with the folks from Deadalusx64 to port it over.reprep wrote:Well, Vita failed (i am not saying it will fail, it already failed) without piracy. Also, i am really amazed at people asking for piracy. There are only a handful of good games on Vita and they are mostly super cheap as cartridges. So there is no need for piracy. But thanks to rejuvenate vita might be a super emulation machine and this aspect will make the Vita live imho.
