Hi, I came across this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hiq-ttpU6bU ) about modding a PSP Vita. I'm just wondering how feasible it'd be to port over Rockbox as either an application, or as an alternative firmware on the Vita you can boot between Official Firmware/Rockbox like on the existing ports for other devices.

They also have a community on Reddit & Discord named VitaHacks if you're wondering for more information. There's also a teardown post here: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/PlayStation+Vita+Teardown/7872

Thanks, I appreciate your time reading =)

The hardware itself is quite capable (quad-core ARM Cortex-A9) but it would likely be quite a bit of work to get a baremetal port off the ground due to the hardware complexity.

It makes more sense to build Rockbox as an application, and that should be fairly straightforward -- Run it on top of the Vita Linux port, or if there's a native-ish SDL port that would work too.   But honestly it's a crappy form factor for an audio player...
