NES4Vita 1.0 released – SMOKE updates his NES emu on the PS Vita
Developer SMOKE just released version 1.0 of his NES emulator for the PS Vita, NES4Vita.
This new version fixes some stability issues and a specific sprite bug from the previous releases. NES4Vita lets you load several roms that you have to copy in cache0:VitaDefilerClient/Documents/ or any subfolder in there.
How is NES4Vita different from other NES emulators on the PS Vita such as NesterJ?
NES4Vita is a “Native” NES homebrew. It uses the “full” power of the PS Vita, through the Rejuvenate hack. By comparison, NesterJ is a NES emulator designed for the PSP. NesterJ that can also be run on a PS Vita, but with the limitation that a PSP would have.
In other words, NES4Vita has the potential of becoming much more advanced than a “traditional” NES emulator running on the PSP. It’s of course a bit early to tell how the additional CPU cycles will really help (NesterJ was pretty good). This is a relevant question, in particular for an old school platform such as the NES, where a PSP was more than enough power to have something decent. But the sky’s the limit at this point.
NES4Vita: How to install & Run
NES4Vita requires the Rejuvenate hack. Assuming you have a PS Vita running firmware 3.51 or lower, you should be able to run NES4Vita through the rejuvenate hack. Details on how to install rejuvenate and how to install homebrews can be found on our rejuvenate page. Enjoy!

Other emulators
There are already several emulators available for the PS Vita with Rejuvenate. We’re maintaining a list here: Emulators for the PS vita.
Are you running the Rejuvenate hack? What kind of emulators would you like to see on your PS Vita?

Second!!
Why does this get it’s own page?
Compared to other emulators you mean? Mostly because I happened to have the time to write an article when it got released. There no “favorite” among the recent stream of Rejuvenate releases, it’s just that in general I don’t have the time to write an article in a timely manner, but today I did.
If you think you can help with coverage of the many rejuvenate releases and become a guest blogger here to help with that, please drop me a PM on /talk. Thanks!
When you get the time, could you make a post about the SNES and GBA emulator? I would like to hear about how well those run.
Bit unrelated but the new website design breaks mobile view.
Thanks, I’ll look into it
Sucks!!
Yeah you sucks…
Да, вы можете сделать забор. Вы убирать а жир осликом кран, на прошлой неделе. >_>
new website design looks like – wololo *** his pants)
Your comment makes no sense, also your comment name makes u look like a noob.
Please port CSPSP or make CSPSV, this game was just brutal, of course if you have access to the wi-fi connectivity stuff of vita.
CSPSP is written by JGE++
Need someone port this engine on psp2sdk
Im the CSPSP+ dev (fan)
after JGE++ portted ill find someone to port it (maybe me)
this file is an elf file while his first version of nes was a velf file..what’s the difference between them?
nothing, just the name. I assume SMOKE just wanted to make it clear that this was a “Vita elf” file
There’s no difference. It was just renamed from velf to elf.
Exawhy,why?After all, no 1 is at least pirate PSN Vita game never launched using this hack:(:(:(!
Not you again…..
will you shut up and move out of your moms basement and buy your dam games!
Thanks for all of your work, SMOKE! One minor issue; NES4Vita crashes when I try to open my ROM folder…I’ve tested it and it’s consistent. Does anyone know why this would happen? Could it be that there are too many ROMS in that location? (there are roughly 50+ as of current)
Wait, how does it have full Vita support? Was the VITA hacked to play homebrew?!?!?
Dude all I can say is… slowpoke.
You’ve been living under a rock .
Yeah, there is a flaw in the code of the PSM dev assistants that allows escaping the PSM sandbox. Look up Rejuvenate, you’ll have to be on 3.51 or below, if you’ve got the normal PSM Dev Assist installed you could use it now, if you didn’t you’ll need to wait a bit for the release of the port of the exploit to the Unity version is released, Unity version has the same vulnerabilities and is DRM free so can be installed with the email writing trick or the native package installer if you’re on a firmware that has access to that.
Really good stuff. Played through fire emblem gaiden with this emulator’s previous version. Flawless.
Also, the SNES emulator is very close to running full speed and has excellent compatibility.
The 3ds has better emulators right now. But, the vita has a huge advantage in that you can put it into sleep mode without crashing :P.
Great work, Smoke and all other devs!
A major update to this emulator would be the option to map the zapper lightgun to the touchscreen and/or the touch back panel. only then the dev can say the emulator uses the full ps vita potental.
NesterJ is already a great NES Emulator for PSVita.
Anyone tried this yet? Does everything run pretty well?
Yes, I played Super Mario World through it.
Super Mario World for NES? geez…
Is there a fullscreen Option? Looks so small on the Screenshots….
So, Psm Dev Assistant won’t let me do anything. It tells me to update the application, but there is no update button on the LiveArea screen. Even though I’ve done the steps correctly, PsmDevAssistant also tells me that my Developer’s license cant be confirmed.
Did you get a PSM+ license? –> http://wololo.net/talk/psmplus/
Okay, this is the problem I had. HOWEVER, if you follow the instructions regarding the PSMPublisher and having the PSM+ emails sent to your vita , it will bypass the need to update and confirm your psm registration.
How do I add the roms? I’m not sure exactly where to put them. I can clearly find the vitadefiler directory on the vita but I can’t find it on my computer. Well.. I was assuming it was the same place where my rejuvenate program was, but the files don’t show up on the vita.
send me a pm an I will help you tomorrow(or today, actually its 5:40am here so I’m going to sleep now)

dear wololo,
do the same for me as u did with psvitaupdateblocker.
that is creating a standalone version with all dependecies and working.
for all firmwarez it correlates.
but this time py2win the webkit into a standalone exe for eatch firm.
with all dependecies as i have allways failed and dont really know any cmd’s for it.
could something like pspassignhost or hostcontrol be done on vita via webkit ?
could rejuvenate do a pchdd swap memcard online ?
could online saves be downloaded from a pc or injected in to the cloud ?
ifso are vita gamesave exploit ever possible ?
how could i modify the callofduty card install to allow it to run on my psvitatv ?
what are the latest vita hacks about except rejuvenate and emu’s ?
could i rebuild a vitamemcard on my pc and host it for my vita …
can i do pspassignhost or hostcontrol on my pc over the internet or only locally ?
ifso i got a great collection on my pc. but ppsspp sucks as it dont play psppsx.
and its mostly psppsx.
i really would like a solution for pc hdd memcard for psp vita tnv tho 😉
and more webkit maddness in wine.
ps. does win10 look like win2012 to u to ?
Nice 😀 What about a Quake engine emulator ? ^^
I don’t see any need in yet another NES emulator when first one works perfectly, but for coding practice it’s cool, I guess. Now, what I really want to see is some DS emulation. It was terrible on PSP and Vita has a touchscreen, which allows for a great experience of DS games.
P.S. Maybe even 3DS emulator sometime in the future.
I don’t get it, what first NES emulator is that?are you talking about NES emulator using psp in vita?not every1 have a exploited game in vita..this release can help them..the world doesn’t revolve around you
I get error c2 12828 1 then psm exits. PSM+ license is ok and hello world no problems.
I know this might be unrelated but I keep seeing conflicting info and nothing seems to be conclusive, how much of vita’s power does rejuvenate really has access too?
It would be nice to play the game on fullscreen, just like NesterJ.
will this work with the PSM dev assistant for Unity app? I dont have the other one….
I’d LOVE a Model 2 emulator. Then I could enjoy Sega Rally anywhere (I love it when he calls me baby).
