The PlayStation Vita was a beloved handheld console, but it had its share of drawbacks, from expensive memory cards to an aging battery. But what if you could change all of that? The “Zac Builds” YouTube channel, known for its ambitious hardware modification projects, recently tackled the console in their video, “I FIXED the Playstation Vita…”.
In the video, Zac performs a series of significant upgrades that truly transform the device. He replaces the proprietary memory card with a much larger and more affordable microSD card, swaps the old charging port for a modern USB-C, and installs a new, bigger battery to extend playtime. He also improves the audio by replacing the speakers and makes the console more comfortable by upgrading the analog sticks. These are comprehensive changes that address the original Vita’s weaknesses and unlock its full potential. For anyone interested in a meticulous and impressive hardware project, you can watch the full process and the final result for yourself in the video below:
