isn't it waste of DualShock?

[SilentNegotiator]

Having the option to plug it into something else? A "waste"?

That said, it's hard to call it the ultimate "portable" gaming device. The Note is clucking huge on its own and the Dualshock isn't exactly very portable on its own, either. And mounted on the edge....well, it's "portable" if you have a fanny pack to store it in, I guess.

It's still an idea, though. Perhaps not the most practical idea.

I have a Galaxy Note and would love to try this.

exist PSVita for this

[Dark-vash]

No, it doesn't. You can't play Nintendo Games On Vita.
It's not that I approve piracy, but an Android OS is much more versatile than the Vita one.

It's a MOD, it's not for everyone. It's like installing Apple IOS in a Android smartphone, you have the iPhone for that, although people what to MOD the Android and experiment with things like this!

[Eiffel]

Actually you can.

Theres already apps created with playstation suite that would allow you to use emulators on the Vita. Since they are emulators for Nintendo consoles and it is technically not illegal to create them, they could get turned into a final product for Playstation mobile.

I know it looks choppy but with a little time they can get it running smoothly on the Vita.

The PSP can do something like this too XD

[sandman224]

Just buy a vita.

[JBSleek]

Why should someone? If they already have a phone and a dualshock laying around might as well.

The games are way cheaper and what you are lacking in quality and depth can be recovered by I just saved 40 bucks.

[sandman224]

Yeah good point, but remember when you spend money on new games it benefits us the gamer, how, the money helps developers make new games.

[Sanquine90]

People like you are destroying the industry! Also downloading pc games for free i guess>?

[Moncole]

I didnt know you can play N64 games on the Vita.

[FOXDIE]

you can play all old games on all android phones!

Yea pay $250 for a handheld when you already have a phone, I already hath to carry a freaking insulin pump And I can use my smartphone for gaming for those rare few minute waits while I have a pc, xbox, and ps3 waiting for me at home. A handheld over $120 seems crazy to me.

[GrandTheftZamboni]

A handheld without analogue stick seems crazy to me.

[R_aVe_N]

This really seems kind of pointless when there is a handheld that already does this --> Vita <--

[Pekolie]

Yeh i know right! Everyone wants a Vita and can afford one /s

Just saying. There are people who wont buy a Vita but will do this if they have everything required to do so.

And there was no credit given to the Reddit user that made this.

Haha now that's a ghetto handheld.

[Wintersun616]

Samsung Galaxy Note is pretty far from ghetto. :)

[sfex3best]

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is amazing for this kinda stuff. And yeah it can pay n64 games too.
