Overview[edit]

Vita3K's initial codebase was pushed to GitHub by petmac on January 28, 2018. Between January and April, Vita3K was only able to run a few homebrew games and applications, but not commercial games. On May 4, 2018, Gal*Gun: Double Peace (Vita port) was the first commercial game to show graphics on this emulator. Current progress and changes can be tracked in both their Discord room and GitHub repository.[1]
In August 2022, the Vulkan API was implemented. In February 2023, the Android version was released.

Basic troubleshooting[edit]

  • Stuttery audio? Try the Cubeb audio backend.
  • Some games not booting in Vulkan? Try using the OpenGL backend.
