PSP console black afterglow is present but not glitchy.

Umm it's using a PS Vita Console. A real hardware screenshot is needed.

PS Vita are backwards compatible for PSP games but digital downloads only through PS store.

It's very slow too while playing the multiplayer part and all the people using force powers lol (on Windows).
But I think its a specs thing because some people could play it full speed no issues.
