A Look Back at Code Mystics' Games for PlayStation Vita

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "In recent years it seems the demand to bring retro games to modern consoles has grown exponentially and no company has done a better job of riding this wave than Code Mystics, a porting studio whose emulation work has been among the best in the industry. Working in partnership with numerous companies, including Atari and LucasArts, but most notably SNK, Code Mystics has re-birthed numerous classics and the Vita has always been an integral part of its plans, making the company a perfect match for this series of articles."

One of the few Dreamcast games I bought. I made sure to snatch it up when I noticed it was on the Switch. I don't know what made this game resonate with me but I love it. I barely touch 2D fighters anymore unless it's to boot this gem up.

Not sure if the Nomad and Express should be on this list. Meaning that while they were portable, they didn't have their own games and instead relied on the same games the console hardware used. Neo Geo pocket, Lynx, Vita... those are dedicated handhelds with their own software library.

If criteria is simply to just allow for handheld gaming then the supaboy should be on there as well.

cthulhucultist454d ago

While that is true, Nomad was an amazing handheld which I greatly enjoyed, and holds a special place in my heart.

I would definitely include it in this list.

I remember connecting it to my tv and playing Vector Man and Comix Zone and I was astounded by the fact that this was a handheld device

The Nomad should have never been made, that big cartridge on the back. Sega was throwing out money. I thought the Lynx was solid. I never knew about the Turbo express though

Why is this news if sony doesnt want it get out of the way and let modders make games for it. There are people still making games for sega dreamcast and genesis if you abandon something dont be a ahole when someone else tries to support it. Thats like some deadbeat dad coming back after 20 years and yelling at the man that raised him thats my son leave him alone lol.

I've avoided CFW because I am afraid of being banned and also was unsure how trophies would work with syncing, and then Sony constantly patches these.

luckytrouble489d ago

I installed CFW ages ago, spoofed the firmware number, blocked official updates, and even made purchases from PSN after. Sony really doesn't care what you do with hardware they no longer support.

Eidolon489d ago (Edited 489d ago )

Can you sync trophies and all that?

Eidolon489d ago

Come to think of, idk if I care about emulation or homebrew anymore on it. I just want to play vita games.

Sirk7x489d ago

Can confirm, Sony doesn't give a crap lol. As long as you're not hacking trophies, you can legitimately download games and play them online, no problem. I've had mine hacked for years.

Eidolon489d ago

They won't see you have trophies on a digital only game you have not purchased, and ban you?
