Weirdly feels like its a little short on buttons though… 🤔

    I haven’t used moonlight on the vita, can you map touch input to L2/R2/L3/R3? The back touch-area would probalby be good for the triggers & L3/R3 aren’t used that often, so the touchscreen might work for that.

    What’s the latency like?

      Honestly terrible, the Vita’s WiFi chip is lousy so even with a wired PC and sitting right next to the router the lag is pretty poor.

      Also the lack of additional triggers really causes problems for a game like Zelda where you’re expected to use them a lot, you can use the touch pad but the lack of feedback makes it pretty unplayable.

      Its a fun experiment though!

        If only moonlight could use the USB connection, like vitastick.

        Do the triggers from bluetooth controllers work with moonlight? I don’t remember if you can normally connect controllers to the vita, but there’s this plugin that makes the vita think that it’s a pstv, which makes it support multiple gamepads.

          Damn, then what’s the effing point? It’s practically a mini monitor with some buttons.

            The Vita has some good games, and it has built-in support for psp & ps1 games, which is not emulation IIRC. It can be a nice portable emulation machine, especially the Vita 1000 model, with the OLED display. The 2000 isn’t as nice due to the worse display.
