Atari Lynx emulation can be done with HandyVita or RetroArch’s Handy core.Atari 26 emulation can be done perfectly with Stella and ProSystem RetroArch cores respectively so you can go play Pitfall whenever you want.SNK’s Neo Geo (home console & arcade) can be emulated with PFBA or RetroArch’s FBA core.Arcade Machines can be emulated through a wide variety of emulators including PFBA (Final Burn Alpha variant with an emphasis on better performance for ARM devices like the PSVita) and RetroArch’s cores for FBA/MAME 2000 (the MAME 2003 core doesn’t perform too well) so you can play Street Fighter II as it was meant to be enjoyed 😉.The current emulation status of these other machines is as follows: Other than Nintendo/Sega/Sony consoles and a whole slew of retro computers, the PSVita can also emulate many other machines including arcade machines which really turns it into a somewhat well-priced emulation powerhouse.įeeling nostalgic for some Pitfall or just want to give yourself a challenge? If so, the PSVita has got you covered (and it’s sturdy enough to withstand a small slam or two )) You can check out this link for a comprehensive and up-to-date list of these Arcade Machines & Other Consoles Some other computers, such as the Amstrad CPC and Atari ST, don’t have an emulator native to the PSVita so you have to use the PSP version via Adrenaline.A comparison between the two by rsn8887 can be found here The Commodore 64 can be emulated via Adrenaline using PSPVice 3.2 (released in December 2018 so it’s fairly recent) or RetroArch’s VICE core.

The PC-9801 can be emulated with RetroArch’s NP2K core but system fonts aren’t working as of yet which means there’s limited support for ZUN’s Touhou games (bullet heck shooters which are very popular on the computer).Sinclair’s ZX Spectrum 48K can be emulated with ZXVita or RetroArch’s Fuse core.MS-DOS PCs can be emulated with RetroArch’s DosBox core but this is fairly slow and requires you to follow these mapping instructions.Amiga 500/1200 computers can also be emulated quite well by using UAE4ALL2 which sees very frequent updates and has many console-specific features including mappable custom control sets.To emulate these, you can use Basilisk II which has touch input support, Dvorak OSK and Bluetooth keyboard/mouse support. 68k Macs can be emulated pretty well and as long as you stick with System 7.5/7.6, you’ll get good performance.To play your some SimCity 2000 or Dark Castle, check out this list to see the current emulation status of old computers:

The PSVita does a surprisingly good job at emulating 68k Macs so if you like older computer games like SimCity or SimEarth that require a mouse to play, it might be a good idea to grab a decent stylus and plop a System 7.5 image on your console 😉
