After announcing two new handhelds, the RG VITA and the RG VITA Pro, in early February, the company has officially uploaded a video for the RG VITA Pro, showcasing its capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The device runs both Android 14 and a 64-bit Linux OS right out of the box. The standard RG VITA is locked to Android 12, but the Pro model is swinging for the fences by offering a proper dual-boot setup.<\/p>\n<p>The six-minute video also shows the RG VITA Pro chewing through a wide catalog. You get glimpses of PS Vita titles like Gravity Rush and Adventures of Mana. Then, it goes even further.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re looking at PS2 emulation here. The device is shown running Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, Neo Contra, and Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. It also plays popular PSP games like God of War and taps into Nintendo\u2019s back catalog with GameCube, N64, and even Wii games (Muramasa: The Demon Blade makes an appearance).<\/p>\n<p>On the Android side, it\u2019s more than just emulators. The video shows native games like Punishing: Gray Raven and Snowbreak running smoothly. The handheld also supports PC game streaming and can connect to an external display for couch co-op gaming.<\/p>\n<p>A description below the YouTube video confirms the core specs, and there are a couple of extra details worth noting, such as a 5.5-inch INCELL touchscreen with 1920 x 1080 resolution, a 5,000mAh battery, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, USB Type-C output, and HDMI support.
