I haven’t used moonlight on the vita, can you map touch input to L2/R2/L3/R3? The back touch-area would probalby be good for the triggers & L3/R3 aren’t used that often, so the touchscreen might work for that.
Honestly terrible, the Vita’s WiFi chip is lousy so even with a wired PC and sitting right next to the router the lag is pretty poor.
Also the lack of additional triggers really causes problems for a game like Zelda where you’re expected to use them a lot, you can use the touch pad but the lack of feedback makes it pretty unplayable.
If only moonlight could use the USB connection, like vitastick.
Do the triggers from bluetooth controllers work with moonlight? I don’t remember if you can normally connect controllers to the vita, but there’s this plugin that makes the vita think that it’s a pstv, which makes it support multiple gamepads.
The Vita has some good games, and it has built-in support for psp & ps1 games, which is not emulation IIRC. It can be a nice portable emulation machine, especially the Vita 1000 model, with the OLED display. The 2000 isn’t as nice due to the worse display.

Rules:
1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

What’s the latency like?

Its a fun experiment though!

Damn, then what’s the effing point? It’s practically a mini monitor with some buttons.
Cheaper than the PS Remote Play
