• First and foremost, you can emulate the PSP and PSX natively via Adrenaline, TheFlow’s ePSP hack. This is especially great for people, who like me, have their PSP damaged up beyond reasonable repair! Adrenaline has XMB built-in, can use plugins and run PSP homebrew which means that it’s great for people wanting to experience the PSP’s glory days again!

• Talking about emulation, there are many RetroArch cores available for the PSVita and some standalone emulators such as mGBA, pFBA and Basilisk II.
• Apart from emulators, there’s also a great selection of native homebrew with a great number of open-source game ports, Lua games and regular apps that aren’t games.
  
  • Some examples of homebrew available include VitaQuake III, Tetromino (an excellent Tetris clone that also has a Touhou mod available), StarKiller 2D (a PSVita exclusive), Chocolate DOOM, a Half-Life port, various fan-made Zelda games and Blackout (a great Lights Out clone written in Lua).
  
  
• A decent selection of plugins which improve the UI (ShellBat), dim the screen further than default (VitaBright), let you overclock games (oclockvita) and use a DS3/DS4 on your Vita (ds3/4vita) among others.
• The ability to play backups. I know it’s like the elephant in the room but it’s no use trying to hide it considering there are websites and even a subreddit dedicated to it.
  
  adapters so you won’t have to spend a fortune on an overpriced Vita Memory Card!
  
  
• Many other things such as editing save data with GoHAN, reading books/PDFs with Bookr MOD Vita and learning to code via Lua Player Plus or ONELua.
• Obviously, you can do other things that Sony wanted you do in the firstplace such as play PSVita games, browse the internet and use PS3/PS4 Remote Play. Talking about native PSVita games, you should surely check them out if you’re an anime fan!
