RetroPie VitaTV

This will help you turn a modded Vita into a VitaTV

Downsides:

• You're using other controller than the one connected to RetroPie.
• Resolution is still the same as on Vita.

Requirements:

( You don't need to install them yourself now. The guide will walk you through step-by-step :) )

Required:

• Vita UDCD UVC by xerpi - Allows streaming the PS Vita through a USB cable.
• ds4vita or ds3vita by xerpi - Allows using DualShock 4/3 through Bluetooth with Vita. (Choose which controller you have)

Optional:

• MiniVitaTV by TheFloW - Tricks Vita into thinking that it's actually a VitaTV. You can play local multiplayer games but it's buggy and unsupported.
• For the audio to work you need to connect Jack to Jack cable from Vita to your TV/Monitor/Speakers.

Instructions:

Vita Setup:

On the Vita you just need to install some plugins and restart the console. You can do it in 2 ways:

AutoPlugin II (Or apps similar to this):

1. Search and install udcd-uvc, ds4/3vita, and MiniVitaTV.
2. Reboot the console, and you're done here.

Manually:

1. udcd-uvc:

• Download udcd_uvc.skprx from here.
• Copy that file onto your Vita's SD Card to: ur0:tai

2. ds4/3vita:

• Download ds4vita.skprx from here or ds3vita.skprx from here.
• Copy it to the same folder as previously.

3. MiniVitaTV (optionally):

• Download ds3.skprx and minivitatv.skprx from here.
• (I'm not sure if you can use ds4/3vita and ds3 together, I had problems with my DS4 when using both)
• Copy both files to the same folder as previously.

4. Installing:

• Open your taiHEN config file (probably ur0:tai/config.txt) using app like VitaShell:
  • Add udcd_uvc under *KERNEL section with a line like this: ur0:tai/udcd_uvc.skprx
  • Add ds4vita under *KERNEL section with a line like this: ur0:tai/ds4vita.skprx
  • (Optionally) Add minivitatv and ds3 under *KERNEL section with a line like this:

  ur0:tai/minivitatv.skprx
  ur0:tai/ds3.skprx
  

• Reboot your console and it should work as intended!

5. Connecting DualShock:

• Open Settings app on your Vita.
• Go to Devices > Bluetooth Devices and find your controller here.
• After connecting it once, you can press PS button on your controller to connect it anytime without going into settings.

RetroPie Setup:

• Connect to your RetroPie through SSH
• Install mpv using sudo apt-get install mpv
• Go to one of the rom directories (I went to /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports)
• Create a new file using nano Vita.sh (You can name the file whatever you want, but it needs to end with .sh)
• Paste this content in it:

  #!/bin/bash
  mpv av://v4l2:/dev/video0 --profile=low-latency --untimed --fs
  exit
  

• Save using ctrl+x
• Exit the SSH session.
• Restart EmulationStation or the whole system.

Usage:

• Connect your DualShock controller with Vita. (PS button if you've already connected it once)
• Connect Vita to your Raspberry Pi using an USB cable.
• Find and run the script you've just made (Vita.sh, should show as Vita in EmulationStation)
• You should now see your Vita screen!
• If you want to exit it use Q on a keyboard connected to your Pi.

You're done!

Congratulations, if everything went as it should you now have a VitaTV!
