The '''PlayStation Vita''' ('''PS Vita''') is an eighth-generation handheld game console by Sony Interactive Entertainment, released in Japan on December 17, 2011, and in North America on February 15, 2012and retailed for {{Inflation|USD|249|2012}}. It had a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore at 333 MHz (Boosted to 494 499 MHz when Wi-Fi is deactivatedoverclocked) with one of its cores reserved for the OS, 512 MB of RAM, 128 MB of VRAM, and a quad-core PowerVR SGX543MP4+ GPU, which can push 133 million polygons onto the screen every second at a clock speed of 200 166 MHz, and a custom sound and image processor called Venezia. It also features most of the [[PlayStation Portable emulators|PSP]] hardware, but it's been officially used only for backwards compatibility purposes.

;[[Vita3K]]
:Vita3K, an open-source PS Vita emulator, has seen significant advancements in recent years, particularly in game compatibility. It is the best and only Vita emulator for PC and Android currently.
;[[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 in Vita emulation. Significant further developments on Vita coming from RPCS3 aren't very likely considering the general lack of developer interest, and those like frangarcj, who 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>
