Vita3K emulator for iOS
Description
Vita3K emulator for iOS is an experimental Play Station Vita emulator for iPhone and iPad devices.
It can even upscale textures that would otherwise be too blurry as they were made for the small screen of the original PSP (sera also Windows, MacOS and Android OS version).
Features
Vita3K for iOS is an eighth-generation handheld game console by Sony, released in Japan on December 17, 2011, and in North America on February 15, 2012.
This emulator can already run some homebrew titles, and some commercial games boot up with visuals or go into gameplay.
Vita3K uses Vita dumps in the .vpk file format.
