Spelunky is ok, has that 16-bit platformer vibe.
I can see why you'd want it for TxK. Firstly, it's from Llamasoft, and secondly it looks wicked.

Spelunky looks very interesting too for sure.

And the Vita is here too, I'll follow up with some pics tomorrow, but aside from some general wear and tear, it looks pretty good and powers on fine.

I do need a memory card and charging lead, so they're on order now, but the unit was fully charged on arrival, and connected nicely to my WiFi.

It'll be interesting trying to use it for remote play on my £16.99 PS3 :)

I'm looking to see if I can use it for portable emulation. I have tried on my PSP, but it seems a little meh.

I also want to try TxK and Spelunky as @alexh suggested, plus remote play for the PS3.

Not yet, waiting for a memory card and charge lead to come. I don't want to attempt anything on without external power. Plus it's 3.74 so I'm not sure it'll work...

I see there are instructions for doing it on 3.74, so need to watch some vids, but quite busy this weekend.
