PS Vita Isn't Ideal for Playing PSP Games

The PS Vita obviously has its strengths, and there are plenty of good reasons to own one. However, if you're thinking about getting a Vita mainly to play PSP games, I definitely don't think it's the best choice.

You know that huge difference between playing a game that was designed for a CRT TV on a modern display? That's almost what it feels like. I don't see many reviews talking about this, but PSP games running on the Vita unfortunately look noticeably worse to me, with much more visible aliasing. The resolution is doubled, but the visual characteristics of the original PSP screen just aren't replicated.

I recently bought a Vita hoping it could replace my PSP-3000, but I was pretty disappointed with the graphical result. Since I'm not particularly interested in the Vita's own game library, it just didn't make sense for me to keep the console.

If you're considering buying a PS Vita primarily to play PSP games, I definitely wouldn't recommend it. I'm curious to hear what others think, but personally, the graphical difference of PSP games running on the Vita bothered me quite a bit.

[Recommendation Request] Which one for a poor man GADA watch?

I'm looking to buy my first automatic watch. So far, I only own two quartz watches: a 36mm Timex Solar and a G-Shock 5600.

I want my first automatic to be as versatile as possible. I also prefer smaller watches, and within my budget these two seem to be by far the best options based on their specs. In my country, they're both almost exactly the same price.

Citizen NB1050

  • Miyota 9011
  • Sapphire crystal
  • 38mm
  • 100m water resistance

San Martin SN0144

  • Miyota 9015
  • Sapphire crystal
  • 36mm
  • 100m water resistance

The San Martin has a much shorter lug-to-lug at 43.5mm, while the Citizen is listed at 46mm. However, I've seen some people say that the Citizen wears more like a 50mm lug-to-lug on the wrist, which concerns me because I have a small wrist (6.7").

Could anyone who has experience with either of these watches help me decide?

O que vocês acham da Timex?

Não vejo muitos entusiastas falando dessa marca, mas pelo que pesquisei, ela tem uma história muito rica sendo mais antiga que a própria Seiko, foi fundada em 1854. Produziu relógios para as forças armadas dos EUA durante a Segunda Guerra. O custo-benefício da marca também é bem interessante, entregando specs que muito Seiko não entrega cobrando o dobro. Por que ela é tão ignorada? Ou isso é só uma impressão minha?

Is it possible to use RetroAchievements on a PSP?

I'm not looking to use RetroAchievements with PSP games. I want to use it on the PSP hardware while emulating systems like the GBA, SNES, Genesis, and others.

Is that possible? I saw that RetroArch is available for the PSP, but I couldn't find any information on whether RetroAchievements works on it.
