You can now play Wipeout 2048 on the PS Vita TV!

Someone's developed a hack/exploit that allows previously unsupported PS Vita games to work on the PS Vita TV - one of which is Wipeout 2048, and damn, does it look awesome on a big screen. I think I may have to get one of these now. Someone's uploaded a video of it working:



Sounds like a few people haven't been so successful in getting it running, I don't know if it's something to do with the specific firmware that's installed in the system or what, but I might have to try and find out a bit more about this before taking the plunge. It begs the question though, if Wipeout runs so well on the Vita TV with a minor hack, why isn't it officially supported? Madness.

Was afterburner climax released on the vita?   I'm still trying to figure out a way to play that game without a 360.

I'm pretty sure AB Climax was PS3 and Xbox 360 only, I'm afraid. I downloaded it from the PSN ages ago, but I think it's been taken down now. Not sure about Xbox marketplace though. There was that JayFox guy who was working on getting Lindebergh games running on regular Linnux PCs, but I think he gave it up because of other projects.

Have nooo idea if it's playable but Afterburner Climax came out for Android and I believe there are some decent Android emulators out there, so maybe it's playable on the PC that way

Well I've tried in the past and couldn't get it to do anything beyond display the splash screen.  If someone gets it working please let us know.

I didn't realise there was an Android/ios version of AB Climax. I checked out a few videos, expecting it to be very graphically compromised, but it actually looks surprisingly good, graphically. Don't think I'd much care for the touch screen controls though.

Here's the one and only photo I've ever seen of the Linnux Lindebergh emulator that I'd mentioned earlier (from this link)



Shame it never really took off (no pun intended), I was hoping I'd be able to give Sega Race TV a try on my windows PC eventually.

Well if someone can get it running on the pc I can probably take care of the touch controls and maybe even get us some blinky lights and force feedback.
