- Vita3K (compatibility)
- Can already run homebrew titles and hundreds of commercial games. While it isn't near as compatible as RPCS3, it still has made immense progress compared to the earlier days where development was slow and seemed like it wasn't really going anywhere.
- Vita2hos
- An open-source compatibility layer that redirects the module imports of Vita executables to jump to routines that implement the same behavior, by using native Horizon OS services, like the one exposed by the original PlayStation Vita OS modules.
Only able to load simple test homebrews such as vita-8.
Emulation issues
RPCS3
The RPCS3 developers once considered adding Vita emulation support, going as far as displaying a simple 'Hello world' and a basic atomic test sample.[1] However, Vita development was completely halted since then and focused exclusively on PS3 emulation down to the website's branding. A Patreon post admitting as much asked users whether they are still interested at all in Vita emulation. Significant further developments on Vita coming from RPCS3 aren't very likely considering the general lack of developer interest, and those who are (like frangarcj) went on to join Vita3K. The RPCS3 project has since removed Vita support from the codebase.[2]
