Thanks for the info. I see the update period in vita3k compatibility thread but they didn't specify the version


Let me take a look later when I reach home.

Thank you! I'll keep trying with older versions from June...

Hm I can run the game fine so it might be a PC specs issue...

Ah?!!! this is embarrassing... it's my fault I test it on JP version!! sorry for the trouble! *hides in the corner*
Oh, don't worry about it!
But interesting to know the JP version doesn't run, let me test that for JP players.

Unfortunate news...it runs for me in Japanese too :") I didn't actually go and play the game to confirm if its runs fully but it does at least seem to run, so it might indeed be your PC specs being too low.

oh..... I guess my laptop specs is too old now Thank you for the test! 😭 EDITED: I can run the game (US) from older version (4056) but not newest version (4072) so I don't know anymore if the problem is my laptop specs / so for anyone who want to play the game later (and having low specs pc) try older version!

Even If Tempest is a 50/50 in my experience. It worked for me, but a friend using the same key, firmware and version had no luck. I would list it as "Variable" or something, it can be iffy

these ones never displayed any issues for me even across full playthroughs:
9RIP (ryujinx)
Bustafellows (ryujinx)
Diabolik Lovers: Haunted Dark Bridal (Vita3k)
Jack Jeanne (Ryujinx)
At least Tempest's getting a Steam release
 
I tried running Bad Apple Wars on the latest version 4074 (both OpenGL and Vulkan) and so far it's been running pretty well, no stuttering either with the opening video, I'm like two hours into the game. If there's an issue with the game on latest version for you, try version 4056 like what user xokanato said above, I'm not sure if it's bc of PC specs or something else. For reference, my laptop is on RTX 2050 with 16GB RAM.

Hello all, just a heads up that I'm working on making a ver of Vita3K that is compatible with ruby party's currently incompatible games (corda, haruka, geten no hana) + bara ni kakusareshi verite + i doll u.
Currently ruby party's games can be played smoothly AND with audio ^^

I Doll U has gone from invisible sprites to having partially regular sprites now displayed BUT with some funky graphical glitches still (kinda similar to Norn9 Act Tune - if you've played that and know what i mean - but worse in terms of colors)

Verite has gone past loading screen and works flawlessly besides now having sprite flickers in the map portion of the game where you can move around and talk to NPCs. i feel it's quite unsafe for people with epilepsy so i'll be making sure this gets fixed before my ver of the vita3k gets shared.

when i'm done i'll upload the pullreq to github too but not sure if they'll accept my revisions to the main build.

throughout making this work there has been a good amount of issues that i had to iron it out but i will spare the detail and maybe talk about it when the actual final ver is done :)

there are also some additional features i've packaged to this ver of vita3k but i've hidden it under the like system so like the post if you're curious or looking forward to what's to come 😂

I am happy to announce that Bara ni Kakusareshi Verite is now working well in my WIP emulator :)
That leaves us with I Doll U and I'm planning to work on Kaleidoeve as well after that.
Edit: was told Prince of Stride does not work at all in any versions past a certain period, so it will be investigated too
Edit2: POS seems to work fine for me, asking the person for confirmation :o
I may or may not work on the other games listed in my top post (since most of the other games should already work with some other versions/settings).

Misc, I heard from another user that keyboard input was hard for QR games (but I suspect it's a Macs issue?) so I made it such a there will be a pop up box. Not sure if it'd work for Macs though :x

Hi, here's another update. I'm currently left with just Norn9 Act Tune.

(And to those who knew I was working on Sweet Clown, sorry, but it still doesn't work. I've decided to stop investing time and energy into it since it works on Switch, so preservation of the PSV version isn't particularly beneficial. For comparison, I worked on Kaleidoeve despite the PSP version being an alternative because the graphics are better on PSV.)

Current Status:

Game(s)Official Vita3K (v0.2.1 4075)My Build
Ruby Party games — i.e. Corda series / Harukanaru series / Geten no Hana / Tokimeki Restaurant (which isn't an otome game)✖ Games will not start with audio enabled and some will crash when loading a save even if audio is disabled✔ Can now run without noticeable issues
Bara ni Kakusareshi Verite✖ Stuck at loading screen✔ Can now run without noticeable issues including during the map segment of gameplay
I DOLL U⚠ Sprites are invisible✔ Can now run without noticeable issues
Kaleidoeve✖ System text displays in place of character names, dialogues / backlog text are blank, save file thumbnails are black, and movie files are visually and auditorily glitched ✔ Can now run without noticeable issues
Heiligenstadt no Uta⚠ Technically playable, but needs an older version of the emulator and other settings to get past loading screen (check Vita3k compatibility thread for information)✔ Can get past loading screen and seems to run without noticeable issues
Crank In ✖ Black save thumbnails, text display issues (requires "disable surface sync" to be unchecked in GPU setting for text to display but still some visual glitches thereafter), bad lag rendering game unplayable✔ Can now run without noticeable issues regardless of "disable surface sync" setting
SA7⚠ Black save thumbnails, text display issues (requires "disable surface sync" to be unchecked in GPU setting for text to display but still some name display glitches thereafter)✔ Can now run without noticeable issues regardless of "disable surface sync" setting
Norn9 Act Tune⚠ The issue is not as severe as in older versions but occasionally the character sprites will glitch⚠ WIP so same as official build
Storm Lover 2nd V✖ Save data is corrupted at game launch regardless of whether you have no save data or made a save✔ Can now make save and load saves properly and play without noticeable issues. Special voices will now get added too if Storm Lover V's save data exists

Thank you so much Icterine for your hard work. You're a lifesaver!

Recently I checked some PS2 games.

Shin Hisui no Shizuku: Hiiro no Kakera 2 : works for me but I didn't check the original version of the game.

Full House Kiss works but it gets stuck after making some selections. To be fair though I was using the skip mode.

Houkago no Love Beat doesn't work for me. Whenever I try to start the game I get a black screen. Only the menu and opening work for me.

Sorry to double reply. Houkago no Love Beat seems to be able to get past the black screen in an older version! (I tried "pcsx2-v1.7.2077-windows-x86")

I previously completed one character's route in Full House Kiss. (PCSX2)
