Yinlips, the 88$ Chinese fake PS Vita clone
I can hate Sony to my guts for their crappy software and their locking policy, but we have to admit their hardware usually rocks, for a reasonable price (ok, maybe not the Vaio, but again, that’s mostly because of the crapware they put in it). The same can probably not be said of this Chinese “replica” of the PS Vita, named the “Yinlips”.
Look at all you can do with the Yinlips! Amazing!!!
The design strongly reminds that of the PS Vita, but for 88$, there’s of course a catch. This is an android device, and the only games you will find here are emulators (which, I’m ready to guess, ship preinstalled on the device?)
Classic arcade game which tablet PC doesn't have... probably because China is the only country where you don't get in trouble for distributing KOF without a contract with SNK
There is of course no touch pad at the back of the device, and the hardware is far from being that of the PS Vita. It’s still a cheap alternative (and 88$ is a lucky number), but let’s be honest, for the same price you can get a refurbished PSP 3000, which will run the same emulators + PS1 and PSP titles at full speed. So, no thanks 🙂
You relaxed and happy to learn English magic... I hope the english teacher in the app is not the one who taught their marketing team... and he happens to be a lot into maths, for an English teacher, by the way...

I love how the site is one gigantic graphic full of Engrish that takes forever to load.
but the ultimate question is: will is blend?
I believe that’s actually King of Fighters, not Street Fighter 2.
Just saying…
You’re right, apologies for that, I updated
It might be crappy, but it says exactly what I want to have in the psp(VITA). I’d be getting a constant nerdgasm if psp(VITA) would include those features.
Well, this kind of things happen a lot in China, from GBA to NDS, and of course PSP, so it’s really not a surprise to me, and I totally don’t recommend anyone to buy any such kind of device. The reason is simple and also mentioned by wololo: you can always find something better and legal with the same price.
ha! your kidding, right? the same or better features of this at the same or better price? i shop around mate,even as far as saigon and singapore, and so far no trip online or overseas has been forthcoming. with prices for consoles and individual games, i will take it!
It actually seems alright for a rip off, http://technabob.com/blog/2011/12/13/ps-vita-clone-yinlips-ydpg18/
i remember before i bought the psp i was conned by another $80 device called a JXD . i’m sure someone must have heard of it. it claimed to do many of the things this thing does .. not only did it either fail to do things, it did them badly if at all and in the end it obviously broke down. i mean literally stopped working. this piece of *** had only one good thing to it. it made me buy a second hand psp which cost way more at the time but was definitely worth it . i love Chinese ppl especially because they often make things available to ppl which they otherwise couldn’t afford.
however having said that , certain things of theirs must never be bought at any cost, no matter how tempting. because let’s face it, its better to be deprived of something, than to exchange hard earned cash for s***t that doesn’t work. any one who buys this will regret it after approx one month. keeping your $80 and not playing is better than losing it and having what is essentially a brick made of plastic that cost you that much
no way that things can play psp/vita games.. it’s just scam u .. available to ppl that cannot afford psp/vita ? but they cant play psp/vita games ? haha.. ***
I want to see if sony is going to sue this guys for the use Resident Evil 5 characters, off course sony is not going to say anything, this guys are not Geohot, so sony does not mind the use of their material in order to sell a piece of ***
The Psp Scene Is Dead And I Dout That The Vita Will Sell Beacause Of Sony’s Tricks And *** So They Can Make Money I Admit The Vita Looks Prety Awsome But Sony Yust Dosent Care Of Custermer Satisfaction They Are Greed Plus Its Way To Expensive With All The Money I Save While Not Buying Ama Use It To Plurge Not To Awsome Developers Of Games The Games Look Pretty Bad *** I Mean To Ofend Sony Not The Developers
Your text is very hard to read, please don’t start every word with a capital.
But the PSP is not dead at all, there is a hen/cfw for every PSP version; there are tons of homebrew games being developed as we speak. (think lamecraft 🙂 )
The Vita is region free. You should be able to play any region’s games on any Vita, assuming you can afford the important costs. IGN even has an article on their website about how to go about linking a US PlayStation Network account to a Japanese Vita.
looks pretty damn good, almost like vita 😀
plz don’t be fooled by looks. this thing is like something that looks like chocolate, is shaped like a chocolate bar, obviously wrapped and labeled as a chocolate bar, but is actually stool
hope you find the allegory funny
You know what the say: ‘fake it till you make it’
Sorry about that but the psp hacks havent updated im not haiting on the awsome developers of homebrew and hen cfw pro i have use all of this even if there are still some loyal fans and devs without them i would have trown my psp to the trash because i dint like buying psp games and better im really an old school gamer and the psp has many great homebrew and emulaters all i ment to say whas people are not very exited of psp hacks i my self check every site every day because non of the things the devs do i could do people are more focused on the vita that on the psp
Thiis is exactly my point about CFW’s, people arent stupid enough to buy a UMD for its backup when they can just download it. Dont get me wrong I love CFW and I am a daily user but the point is that without CFWs there wouldnt be a much of a problem with piracy.
seriously 88$ is cheap for an android, anyway i will get one if it only has a SIM slot :p
plz don’t waste your money buddy its not worth it. by anything else OG you wont regret it
ENGLISH MAGIC FTW!
Damn, i can’t wait to receive mine in the mail. P.S: It’s not $88 anymore, it’s $125 at the moment. I ordered a black one, but the blue one looks awesome!
These things are everywhere!
this one has
Built-in 10 NES, 20 3D, 2 GBA and 124 touch screen games

i dreamed bout a perfect portable gaming device in complete specs…must have:
-4g connection w/simslot ofcourse & wifi
-hdmi output w/latest & powerful os
-keypad w/ 6 bottons like in the arcade
-metallic w/shock housing
-unscratchable glass monitor
-supporting all sounds & videos codec in a very high pix resolz….
-a pc like web browsing experience
etc…is that amazing? U guys!?.
So the Nvidia Shield? Oh wait, that runs Android and only has emulators. I mean, it’s not like being able to run the PSP, Dreamcast, and N64 at 1080p with HDMI output could ever compare to a giant brick in your pocket that pumps out a whopping 480p on a screen the size of the HTC G1. What am I thinking? PSP all the way!
Hello,
i had also trouble with Willgoo.
They send me after my order a Yinlips G19, it came and worked 2!!! Days, then the screen hang up and finito…(finish).
I mailed Willgoo and the said, “ok – try to use a Link for upgrade the device”, but is was not possible because my PC didn´t recognised it.
So after this, i sent it back to Willgoo and they said “dont ship it with a tracking number”, but i did, fortunally!
After a month or so they told me “we didn´t receive it yet”, but my shipping company investigate and it was delivered – sowas a lie, they try to steal my money!!
The reaction was after i informed them “ok, in seven days you get a NEW one, but we didnt have your device here”.
NOW the unbelievebale thing took place:
They send me my OLD, BROKEN device back (i remembered a scratch on the back from falling down) without ANYTHING!
I complained and wanted my money back NOW!!
So i sent AGAIN the broken Yinlips to China.
After a while i got my money back, the whole annoying experience took 8!! months….
So please DO NOT buy there – they are a fraud company and they are stealing thieves!
Thank you for you time,
hope i could help you not to be ripped off,
the unknown stranger 🙂 from Greece
I have a chinese fake PSVita that s stuck on booting kindly some do me a favour about the issue. Only a benten welcome display is there when i power on the device nothing can be done or n button working. only power and reset buttons do some work. When i press power buton it power up with the same screen of benten logo and when i press reset button it turn off.
