Recording the PS Vita's screen (thebrainbin.org)

A Reddit user asked if it's possible, and sorting by best replies, all but the last say it isn't possible.

The last comment, besides confirming, also helpfully gives the name of the tool, UDCD-UVC. From my experience, it's pretty functional, and though image won't come higher than 720p (and iirc) 60hz, image quality is pretty decent.

Something worth noting, though: It turns the USB signal into a webcam signal, which is how image streaming is possible. But that means the USB stops working for anything else until you disable the plugin. But that also means you can leverage that to transmit the Vita to devices with webcam capabilities but no accessible OS, such as newer Xbox consoles.

Also, the plugin only transmits the image, not the audio, so you need a P2 P2 cable (both tips are male earphone plugs), and a way to take microphone audio and transmit to a speaker. No plugin needed for that, but on Windows finding the series of settings needed to bridge is a quest, I never tried on Linux so dunno how to do it there, and users of desktop computers without microphone female plug and notebook users may need an USB adapter for that.

Image example of the tools I mentioned:

I'm glad I've only ever had the need to get other screens onto the vita (moonlight covers that perfectly), not the other way around. But this tool is still impressive, and with 720p atleast there won't be any problems storing the recordings!
