The emulator uses While it isn't near as compatible as [[RPCS3]] is for PlayStation 3, 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:is an early compatibility layer for Nintendo Switch that runs PlayStation Vita dumps applications natively.

==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.<ref name="emunewz">{{cite web|url=http://www.emunewz.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=164933|title=PS Vita emulation progress|publisher=emunewz|accessdate=2018-04-04|date=2014-11-02}}</ref> However, Vita development was completely halted since then and focused exclusively on [[PlayStation 3 emulators|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.<ref name="GitHub">{{cite web|url=https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/pull/4160|title=Remove Vita emulation (Nekotekina)|publisher=GitHub|accessdate=2018-04-04|date=2018-02-09}}</ref>
