PS Vita Firmware Update 3.50 Adds Accessibility Options

I may be the only one that uses Remote Play regularly. Sometimes I want to watch sports or news on the TV or simply play PS4 games lying on the bed. Anyway most games already look good so I like the 60fps improvement. I only use it locally, without wireless router, like what the Wii U does, so there should be some improvement.

I wish it had more features to be honest. as in features like sony supporting the handheld

I love using my remote play but I've never been able to get it working that well. It always seems to freeze or go laggy until I lose connection altogether.

@belmont nope I love remote play.

Remote play has been a great addition (especially having kids), this is a welcome update!

@robisa666 it will be you Internet speed or the distance. If your in the UK fibre optic will do the job.

@noodleking1987 Yeah probably but as I play in the same room as my ps4 I doubt it's that. Can't get fibre optic in my area. It's annoying to have connection issues but still enjoy using it from time to time

@robisa666 Make sure you un-tick the "Connect Directly with PS Vita/PS TV" setting (despite what the instructions say). I used mine with a wired connection into the same switch and constantly got disconnections until I unticked this box. Now it works on the wireless upstairs without an issue.

@professorhat I'll give that a go but I'm sure I've tried everything already. Thanks for you advice anyway and will let you know if it works

@belmont How to use remote play locally without using WiFi? I've been trying to figure it out for while.

@XFsWorld I don't have Wifi in my house. I start the PS4 from the button or controller and I after that I choose Remote Play on Vita.

I jus wish for more apps, like Instagram whatsapp.... Social stuff an more exculsive gamez PLEASE!!!!!!!

Cool. Now I just need some games

I hope with the new accessibility options, I could switch X and O around as confirm and cancel. Reason being is I'm planning on buying a white Vita from Japan, and O is confirm.

If they could change the ui so I don't think I'm operating a handheld toy that would be good. The shiny pebble icons really don't belong on a Sony ps product.

All this sounds good, though I do agree with @Pipr a UI overhaul would be nice. While I personally kinda like the current one, it would be great to give the consumer more options.

XMB option for PSTV would be good.

@Belmont make sure the PS4 isn't trying to connect online using WiFi. The PS4 only has 1 WiFi radio that's used for both online functionality and Remote Play. I have my PS4 connected via WiFi and I've found that using the direct connection with Vita is awful, even in the same room. If I turn off the Internet connection on the PS4 it works just fine.

@KALofKRYPTON XMB REPRESENT!! The PSTV seriously needs a UI overhaul, it's pretty much the biggest problem with it as things are a tad clunky when using a controller.

@robisa666 are you able to use shareplay with your connection?

@noodleking1987 I've never tried to be honest.

@noodleking1987 oh also I tried unticking that box and it didn't help. Still get a broken conmection

Use must have very low mega bytes coming in on your line as before I had fibre optic I was getting 0.5 mbps and I was able to use remote play. Personally I would ring your server and complain about the speeds.
