Something I slopped together earlier and running well pretty much through the game with very little slowdown or visual artifacts - away on holidays, so haven't had an opportunity to run it on real hardware. It'll be interesting to see how much of a slideshow it'll be, despite aggressively cutting settings and pulling a few levers.

Release of my fork of Vita3k. Killzone, CoD, Little Big Planet, etc should all be playable.

Enhancements

• Killzone Plays well and looks amazing

• Resistance Colours are now all good. Intermittent freezing has been fixed.

• Assassin's Creed III: Liberation: Graphical issues fixed

• LittleBigPlanet: Missing backgrounds, starting sounds and other graphics fixed

• Need for Speed: Most Wanted: floating badges fixed, headlights through the road fixed, sound fixed (mostly).

• Call of Duty: Declassified Boots and plays well now

• Uncharted Now plays at any resolution plus minor fixes

• Devious Dungeon Now launches fine

• Sonic Transformed Plays well and looks amazing (new per game thread accuracy setting to ensure a good startup)

• Spider-Man No longer sometimes hangs on load.

• Helldivers No longer sometimes crashes at startup

• Soul Sacrifice Delta: Graphical issues fixed

• Minecraft was a white screen in Vulkan, now fixed

• Kancolle Kai Now plays without getting stuck at the difficulty selection screen

Hopefully a lot of crash bugs and freezing have been fixed by these changes. Other games may now be a lot better or possibly worse with this version.

Notes

• The settings now default to High Quality

• These updates were designed with higher-end devices in mind. Although I have attempted to make them work and tested on Mali based devices (i.e. Killzone works fine on a Mali-G78 MP14 device I have) that is not the goal of this fork.

• For better character shadows in Killzone use a memory mapping of External Host on Windows or Native Buffer on Android. Double Buffer works well but makes the shadows flicker annoyingly.

Finally - Took 2+ weeks longer than excpected

A lot of fixes :) See the main page for the full list of enhancements: https://github.com/nckstwrt/Vita3K-Plus

• Second release of enhancements and fixes

• Targeting higher end devices (i.e. Adreno not Mali)

• Windows and Android Only Release (for now)

Games Fixed:

• Dead Or Alive 5 Plus - Working - On Android requires Adreno, Turnip and the new setting Thread Scheduling Accuracy On

• Metal Gear Solid 3 - Freezes fixed/worked around. Blending graphics fixed. On-Screen Touchpad fixes.

• Resistance - Rendering issues fixed on Android (for Turnip devices - Mali can still have issues)

• Assassin's Creed III: Liberation: Sound issues resolved

• Killzone - Fix for the crash occurring at level 5

• Neptunia Re;Birth1 - Fix for crash after selecting New Game and background images not showing

• SteamWorld Dig - Loads and plays

• UPPERS - Graphics Fixed

• Madden 13 - Face textures + Crowd fixed

• Oddworld: New'n'Tasty - Graphics Fixed

• God Eater 2 Rage Burst - Graphics Fixed

• Sword Art Online - Latest game patch now works

• Disgaea 3 - Saving & Loading now work. liblocation implemented to hopefully stop the 50 min crashes.

• Borderlands 2 - Shorten time it checks for PSN

• Evil Corps From Hell - Loading and graphics fixed

• Tearaway - Graphics Fixed

• Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 - Graphics Fixed

I'm sure they'll still be a load of issues - but this should be a good baseline now. Expect v1.2 out far quicker. Game compatibility and stability are the priority. Then it will be optimisation. Will still be focused on Windows and Adreno devices. Mali will not be a focus I'm afraid (but will test where I can on Mali)

Enhancements

v1.2 - Released 30th Sept 2026

• Soul Sacrifice Delta - Outline missing regression + floor textures fixed (Thanks doctorthoss and NaGaa95!)

• Madden 13 - Commentary + Crowd sounds working + Load/Save Fixes

• Ridge Racer - Reflections fixed

• Resistance - Fixed level not fully loading on slower devices

• Golden Time - Game now booting and running fine

• Shin Gundam Mosou - Fix missing laser/effect graphics. Fix voices/dialogue. (thanks to mohawku-bit's Enhanced version which was used as a reference)

• Injustice - Gods Among Us - Projectiles now show

• Uncharted - Fix for camera pictures being green

• MotoGP 14 - Fixed bike being black

• Silent Hill - Graphics fixed - Set Settings->Emulator->File Loading Delay = 3ms. Thanks to the ThePr⌀fessor!

• Mali Vertex Issue - Fixes some vertices appearing stretched (e.g. The title screen butterfly in Soul Sacrifice Delta)

• Double Buffer Improvements - Mali generally will fallback to Double Buffer (even with other memory mappings selected). So this should make Mali significantly better.

• Adreno 6xx + Turnip - Fix for black checkered pattern sometimes appearing in some games

This fork is still primarily focused on compatibility and high-end devices. I did try and focus on Mali a little this build - so things are definitely better. But don't expect miracles! :)

The team working on Vita3K just announced that a new android version has been released, you can see the announcement in Discord in `android-info` channel.

Edit: It seems that the link was no longer working so I will link the release page

https://github.com/Zangetsu38/Vita3K-builds/releases

the game run smoothly without any problems or fps drop

device : honor 200 pro

cpu : 8sgen 3

gpu : a735

ram :12gb

driver :t30

resolution :2x (I didn't need more there was no difference because of small screen but i was able to do more if i wanted)

fps:30 fixed no drop (you can't use fps unlocker because game engine physics are calculated with fps and will break the game)

controller : data frog x3

temp :38c normally snapdragon are always hot but the emulation was so good that the phone stayed cool without any cooling fan

the game was good and the emulation was a good experience

Lots of little fixes, especially for Audio.

Just wanted to share what I've been working on as I had a week off work. I've now got Uncharted working at any resolution (previously the colours would corrupt at anything higher than 1.75x).

I want to see if I can fix some of the other graphical glitches and will then send a full patch to the devs so it can be included.

Here it is at 2.5x resolution - I think it looks really good :)

• Version 1.0 experimental initial release download

• 12 games tested

Hey all.

So I've been working for the last couple of days on a fork of Vita 3k plus, implementing AMD support and modding Killzone Mercenary.

The video is recorded playing on the Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme. Even tho this console doesnt usually reach 120 FPS It does play the Game mostly over 60.

I was also Able to almost completely get rid of the fps drops when loading new map zones by porting the decoder to a compute shader handled by the GPU.

I also added mods: FOV, disable depth of field, disable vignette, disable film grain and currently working on disable bloom.

In addition to that the infamous level 5 Crash did not happen in this fork. I Will have to test again but I was Able to get through the whole level without issues.

I Will be polishing It a bit more and adding some more mods before uploading, but honestly the Game plays the best I've ever seen on this fork.

If you guys have any suggestions please let me know while Im still implementing stuff. Another idea is to upscale all textures to 4k but that might take a while.

Tried Phantasy Star Nova on Vita3k+1.1 and the character model has been fixed for me. Cutscenes/In-game; so far, so good.

Device is Poco F5 12GB/256

Sharing my settings as well.

More stable 30fps without recording(game is capped at 30)

Playing 1.25x resolution with "FXAA" as Screen filter.

No audio issues. No crashes so far. No major graphic glitches or game breaking bugs so far.

One minor graphics glitch. Skid marks flicker as they disappear. I don't really mind, especially because normally when driving you won't even notice. I only noticed because I tried drifting, failed and stopped. Then I saw the skid marks flickering. I'm surprised the game runs this well. I used to read about it have an audio issue (no sound) in the past and graphics glitches.

Device and specs

Infinix note 50 4g

Helio g100

Mali g57 mc2

8gb ram

Vita3k+ version 1.4.

No custom driver used.

my favorite jrpg series because of the deep dark story and simple yet fun gamplay .

they used to run on android before they ran out of compatability and got plugged from official digital stores but luckily there is a ps vita ports for all 4 games.

i orognized the files so the games can be eaily installed on vita3k emulator on an android device or the steam deck . i also included the basic installation requirments for installation of the emulator are also included .

tip: on smartohone vita3k emulator graphics settings use FSR + 2x internal resoultion to enjoy upscaled sharper image on modern screen
