/v/ - HAPPY E3 EVERYONE

>>14762765

>Was interested in Metal Max Xeno until I heard complaints that it's not a good game.

And the English localization is being handled by NISA.

It's like they wanted the game to fail everywhere at once.

Does anyone know if they will let us carry over our save from Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth to the new remake of the first game?

>>14764343

Don't think so. I don't remember seeing anything about it when I booked it up but I suppose I could've missed it.

>>14764125

>>14762765

>NISA is localizing the next metal max game

<it might not even be a good game

The worst possible timeline.

>>14765361

If you can get your hands on one with firmware 3.60 or lower, then it's piss easy to hack (a hack for higher firmware versions is supossedly coming later this year). Once hacked, you can access the PSP emulated within it and put PS1/PSP on it easily (via USB or FTP)

>Storage

Once hacked, you can use an adapter that lets you put a MicroSD card into the GameCard slot, saving you from SONY's jewry with memory cards.

>Emulation

You're kinda stuck with retroarch and MGBA for now, but they work pretty fine all things considered. If you want you can run emulators/homebrew on PSP mode as well

>>14765361

>How is the emulation/CFW for it?

CFW currently requires a system with 3.60 or below, there is an undisclosed exploit that works up to the current OFW but it's being held until EoL.

It has emulators for most major systems prior to 5th gen plus a few extraneous emulators Amiga, Dosbox, etc

>Can I get PS1 games on it as easily as I could on the PSP

The PS1 can be emulated through the PSP emulator or Retroarch, from what I've heard Retroarch runs some PS1 games better than the onboard PSP emulator but I haven't tried it.

The PSP emulator itself can run any PSP homebrew so you can use PSP emulators as well but it will run it with PSP specs reduced RAM etc.

If you're planning to pick one up now be prepared to mostly buy physical games and wait for an exploit.

my 64gb card arrived that i got at a total steal and surprise surprise its the real deal and not a gook knock off. But only now do i realise i was 70% through the autistic slog that is corpse party book of shadows and its on my old 8gb peasant card. Can i trade the save over somehow?

>>14765427

>"…from what I've heard Retroarch runs some PS1 games better than the onboard PSP emulator but I haven't tried it."

From my experience, Skullmonkeys worked without issue on Retroarch's PSVita port, while it didn't work as an EBOOT on POPS (The onboard PS1 emulator for PSP)

>>14765466

I had a similar experience with DW3, I could never get the eboot to work with the rips that I found.

>>14765476

So we could say the PSVita is even better than the PSP for PS1 games. If it only had L2 and R2 triggers incorporated…

>>14765431

You might be able to backup all the saves using CMA/QCMA and transfer them over but that would also take a decent portion of time. because Sony backs up the entire game

If you have homebrew capabilities there is a save backup/manager.

>>14765466

>>14765476

If I recall correctly Adrenaline wasn't entirely compatible with a portion of PS1 games because the compatibility of POPS changed per FW so the only games that work on Adrenaline as PS1 games were compatible with whatever version of POPS the 6.61 PSP OFW had.

>>14765504

There are grips that add L2/R2 and I hear they work pretty well but that's additional money and bulk.

>>14765786

>"Still nothing on piracy though? Kind of sucks. As promised;"

What do you think CFW is used for, you silly willy ?

Of couse you can pirate on the Vita, it even has a Freeshop-like program so you can download games directly from Sony. Now that you can upgrade a hacked console to 3.65 firmware (ONLY FROM AN ALREADY HACKED 3.60 VITA) every game is playable without issue.

>>14765813

Shit I misread that. Well I think I pick one up then.

Has anyone played either hotline miami on Vita? Are the ports okay?

>>14765284

>>14764125

People complained it was short and too easy for a JRPG, while also not liking the eroge direction.

>>14765504

The Vita has especially the second analog stick that made certain PS1 games now compatible unlike on PSP (ex. Ace Escape) or rather easier to play when you change the control mapping in the settings (such as the Echo Night games by redirecting all the movement and camera controls into the analog sticks). L2/R2 are based on the back touchscreen, which isnt really practical but still better than the weird mapping back on the PSP.

>>14765520

One thing I've noticed is how my legal purchases of PSP games are a lot less bloated in data space than the ISOs you download/convert. It's very often a difference of 200-400MB which is quite a lot once you start storing a certain amount of titles, and I guess this supposes the Vita can directly run encrypted games. I also like the scanned manuals, which is why I'd like something similar to this rather than this Adrealine alternative.

>>14765851

I was able to beat the game on Vita without too much hassle without using the "touch aim" feature it has for easy targeting. I had a lot of fun with it.

>>14765863

>my legal purchases of PSP games are a lot less bloated in data space than the ISOs you download/convert.

That might have to do with the source of the ISOs

In addition to ISOs being uncompressed disk images UMDs were compressed AND contained PSP FW updates and padding files.

Supposedly the padding helped loading times but I heard some people claim they were some retarded form of anti-piracy, making games bigger and somehow more difficult to share, I'm guessing the extra 50-100 MBs did affect some people back in 2006.

https://twitter.com/PQubeGames/status/994539081316077568

>>14768381

Why did they wait two years to localize and release something?

I feel like the turnaround times on localization companies is another thing that killed the Vita in the West.

Imagine the US getting Pokemon Sun/Moon in 2019.

2 years ago I lost my 80h persona 4 save because I didn't knew deleting a game also deleted the save from your vita

today I found the motivation to restart, even managed to grab me a nice undub

somehow I feel coaxed into prioritizing S links with your party members over everyone else because of the bonuses in battle, can't be helped I suppose

>>14769422

>I feel like the turnaround times on localization companies is another thing that killed the Vita in the West.

As well as dealing the digital-only releases and lack of 64gb card in the West (I'd also argue about nothing in the library picking the interest of non-weebs). It was a total mess on that part, which I cant blame anyone for going through the piracy way instead. Nothing pisses me off more than that TheFlow fag virtue-signaling against piracy

>>14770051

Didnt Persona 4 Golden have built-in save slots inside the cartridge? I know it's the case with my nip physical of P4G, and a few other imports (EDF3 Portable, Oboro Muramasa, US cartridge of DJ MAX Technika Tune). Still sucks to have your saves lost though

>>14770222

>As well as dealing the digital-only releases and lack of 64gb card in the West

To an extent the digital-only releases weren't the worst part. although I do think digital-only is shit for most releases minus the most low budget of low budget titles

The worst part was that they forgot that "the future" needed more storage space at reasonable prices.

>I'd also argue about nothing in the library picking the interest of non-weebs

That would have been less of an issue had they not advertised it as having more games for non-weebs.

Bunch of non-weebs buy the thing after seeing the advertisements, realize there's maybe two or three games they want to play, and never pick up the system after madden 13 or whatever the last release was.

So i hear Nightcry is coming to the Vita, all i know is its kind of Clock Tower 4 with giga tittys and a deadly premonition vibe. Any good word on this vita port?

and anyone tried resistance burning skies? R3 gave me a hankering for it.

>could only get a few games on my 8gb card due to purse owner 4 and world of final fantasy

Never heard of it. Will look it up later.

>>14771403

>Left stick is messed up and drifts up periodically

You can fix that pretty easily. Either the stick needs to be cleaned or it needs to be replaced, a replacement stick is about $15 and the Vita isn't difficult to open and fix.

How many dollaridoos was the card?

>>14778340

I found a fucking idiot on ebay that put up a 'vito memery card' starting bid 99p. Won it because nobody searches for spelling errors anymore.

My friends said 'calm the fuck down its a memory card, why is this such a big deal'.

ITS SUCH A BIG DEAL

I never get deals like that but by was the french guy i bought it off fucking sweet and sour salty.

>>14778247

My 64gb card is mainly for the nippon PSP and PS1 games (Summon Night, Langrisser, Growlanser, Ridge Racers 2, Super Robot Wars, Gachitora, Sakura Wars, Tales of, Clock Tower 1, Brave Fencer, Echo Night 1&2, Breath of Fire, Rayman 1, etc). I generally try to go with the physicals as much as possible in case of vita games however.

>>14778376

>Won it because nobody searches for spelling errors anymore.

Reminds me how I won a limited printed copy of X-Soldner for merely 20 bucks because there was a spelling error in the title too

>>14781491

Get a photograph, and also I've never tried removing the ribbon but those things terrify me, especially with how fidgety it is to get my Vita apart. Thankfully I've only needed to do it twice. Once for PSVSD and once when I let it fall a bit too far and the SD got knocked out of place enough to not work.

>>14778376

Not quite as good as the guy who got a £20 system but close!

>>14781491

>Grey bit that kinda looks like it burst, and it was full of dust.

That's not a battery that's ruptured is it? Don't touch the dust it's probably caustic.

>>14784045

I don't own a good camera, but was hoping it'd be sufficient to identify the part and if it was broken from the description

>>14784126

Mine's blue, and smaller. It doesn't have that wedge bit

>>14781491

>this Grey bit that kinda looks like it burst, and it was full of dust. Is that something I would need to replace?

By grey bit do you mean one of the button contacts? If it burst it probably won't respond to button presses.

If it's just dust get a can of compressed air and clean it out.

>Advice for getting the tiny fucking ribbon cable for the back touchpad back in if I got big hands.

There are tweezers specifically designed for working with electronics. They should work fine as long as you spend more than 99 cents, just make sure you grip somewhere that won't crack or tear.

>>14782793

The battery is decently sized and if it had ruptured it would affect more than the left side and probably more of the right side due to its location, if it swells/ruptures it's generally pretty obvious.

Would it be worth it to use a Euro/JP PSN for the support?

Why is US PSN so shit on vita?

>>14786474

JP if you know chin chong nig nog and good support.

NA sometimes has good deals, same as EU but euro is more expensive.

>>14786474

You would need a way to add funds, Sony requires whatever payment method and billing address you use to match the region if adding through debit/credit card/Paypal/etc. .

Either find somebody to trade PSN currency cards with or be prepared to pay a premium on some reselling website.

>>14786542

I generally do Play-Asia for this just because it's convenient, but honestly, fuck being a good goy and just use pkgj if you can.

>>14786542

I can get money I just Want Crash Team Racing on my Vita, but for whatever fucking reason you can't install It in the US. And no it's not because of activision, they get royalties if it's sold or used still in the US

>>14786566

>but honestly, fuck being a good goy and just use pkgj if you can.

You still need people who bought the game first in order to build the database

Which reminds me, how could I contribute to the database and the NoPayStation one? I'd like to give those zeus.dl links of the PSP, PS1, Vita (& DLCs) I've purchased from the nippon PSN

>>14786881

If you have homebrew access you should be able to run CTR through Adrenaline.

>And no it's not because of activision, they get royalties if it's sold or used still in the US

Are you sure that isn't the reason? Sounds like if they allowed it on the US Vita as a PSP digital game they'd still have to license it for a different console. That can get expensive when it may only lead to a few hundred or so extra sales.

>>14787384

>Which reminds me, how could I contribute to the database and the NoPayStation one? I'd like to give those zeus.dl links of the PSP, PS1, Vita (& DLCs) I've purchased from the nippon PSN

go to the NoPaystation website, click the NPS Database link and scroll down, it has the steps on the first tab of the google doc.

http://nichegamer.com/2018/05/14/stardew-valley-launches-for-ps-vita-on-may-22/

So apparently we're getting Stardew Valley.

Not my thing, but cool.

>>14790362

There are better farm life sims available on the PSP or 3DS if you have one.

Stardew Valley tried too hard to be an old style HM title rather than its own thing and failed at most of it.

>>14778247

The upgrade is a good feeling. 2014 was a nice year for the Vita.

>Getting 100% on Risk of Rain for a second time after doing it on PC

I've had good times with my Vita. I might pick it up again once The 8-Bit Bloodstained launches. Most of the time I'm playing emulators on my New 3DS anyway.

The Vita wouldn't have been shit and would be legitimate competition if it had general MicroSD support

>>14802592

That's my closing thoughts on it.

>>14802592

At least now we got SD adapters. RIP danny devita

>>14802621

Yeah, but at the price of physical releases. Digital's nice and all for portables, you have everything with you with no bags, but still it would nice for more physical copies.

>>14802630

Eh, those jury-rigged bootlegs are like 3 bucks a pop.

>>14786881

Far as I know, the Crash and Spyro PS1 games used to be able to be put on the Vita legitimately off the NA store (or transferred from a PS3), but somehow they've since been taken off the whitelist and apparently no one's cared to fix it if it was an accident.

>>14802640

They're stopping ALL physical production, meaning whatever's slated to release in Japan from now until next March, that's it. Everything after that is secondhand market, which import buyers don't have easy access to. Couple that with the fact titles on Sony's JPSN almost never go on sale, and yeah there's an obvious and legit reason to be miffed about this announcement.

>>14803054

>They're stopping ALL physical production,

No the articles pretty much said that it only affects NA and the EU, Asia & Japan will continue their business as usual, unless we get told otherwise

>Couple that with the fact titles on Sony's JPSN almost never go on sale

There were sales during the Golden Week period, and there is a current one that is mostly indieshit and another about Steins Gate 0.

>>14803535

>No the articles pretty much said that it only affects NA and the EU

IIRC PSP store access got a lockout first in JP, then announced all areas barely a few weeks after that. We have no reason not to expect the same this time, especially since "physical" barely exists in the west to begin with. Particularly in vein of Sony making moves to ramp down on both PS3 and Vita services (cutting them out of PSPlus free game rotation, shutting down PSVideo viewing).

>There were sales during the Golden Week period, and there is a current one that is mostly indieshit and another about Steins Gate 0.

There's always a sale this time of year, as is around the November/December time. But offerings are scant between those points save a few pub discounts. And "sale" is pushing it with titles that are at best, 20%. Compared to EU and US stores, it's abysmal.

>>14803054

>there's an obvious and legit reason to be miffed about this announcement.

>>14804038

>But offerings are scant between those points save a few pub discounts. And "sale" is pushing it with titles that are at best, 20%. Compared to EU and US stores, it's abysmal.

The EU/US mainstream cares less and less for physical releases outside of "collectors" editions. Online platforms only offer massive discounts in those regions because it's seen as normal.

JP still sees digital distribution as newish shit and doesn't know what to do with it half the time. which is probably why a lot of console ports on PC are restricted for the JP region.

>>14805003

I can't tell if you're retarded or shitposting.

Anything released this year will require 3.68, the 3.60 dumps of newer games are decrypted through maidump.

Using them at this point is horribly retarded because the only "benefit" they offer is not needing to update to a completely safe 3.65 KB.

>>14805003

You can have Enso 3.65 now. Not only that it's confirmed that it will be possible to run 3.68 soon enough as that update didn't close the security hole. Also stop shilling your channel.

Wololo has always been a shilling website but the last couple gens of consoles have been full of attention whores.

That article writer particularly is known to write the most retarded garbage on the planet, look at the PC builder simulator that reads like a crying middle school girl with a megaphone

There's only so much challenge in finding exploits in similar hardware for the fifteenth time.

3.67/68 exploit waiting for EoL is more because the Vita is nearly done and generally you're supposed to save an exploit for EoL anyway.

The issue is the Vita "scene" is founded on attention whoring faggots and most of the "Devs" who give a shit about it only do so because all the shit they're doing has been done before and done better on other hardware.

>>14805184

That article was probably one of the worst ones made on that site, she then put a direct link to steam even though it's supposed to be a, "negative review".

>not just getting a hackable Vita

Please don't support Sony if you can avoid it.

>>14806663

How do you get scurvy with a vita? Is it just like how putting custom firmware on a psp used to be?

>>14806728

I didn't have a PSP so I wouldn't know. As of right now you just need a Vita with a firmware version of 3.60 or earlier, soon it will be 3.65 or earlier and you basically just download Henkaku from the Henkaku website and you have it, then install enso Henkaku to make sure its permanently homebrewed. From there if you wanna scurv you just download PKGJ for Vita games or use Adrenaline and transfer ISOs for PSP games.

>>14806728

I've been lazy in updating my guide lately, but mostly it's missing info on how to update a 3.60 system to a 3.65 Enso system, the fact that pkgj superceded pkgi and allows update and DLC downloading, and rePatch which is necessary for game patching on 3.65 and helpful on 3.60.

But yeah it's easy stuff to do if you have a system at 3.60. In future there will be something for later firmware too.

>>14806663

Pretty much this with PSP. It's far easier to just use Adrenaline.

>>14806728

Just to add on the others, you can use nps (nopaystation) to download games on your computer then transfer it over to vita using vitashell.

>>14806853

go with a pstv, it's cheaper. keep? the updated vita for online?

>>14806853

Well now that I've done some reading, $85 wasn't a bad price at all. I'm just mad because I spent money, it's the .001% jew in me boiling over.

That being said, ebay does have a lot of PCH-1001 3.60s, for under $150

>>14783805

Get a better camera pajeet.

So I'm trying to get a vita. Seems like i can buy one in a pretty good condition for 112$, firmware version is unknown, but I'm either buying a <=3.60 mobo from aliexpress, or just going to wait for Henkaku >3.60.

I really think this will be a nice little system to carry around until the switch gets more Japanese titles and piracy CFW.

>having 1 ps vita and 1 psp

>not installing Adrenaline for real PSP experience in your ps vita and selling your psp for easy money.

>>14808521

Buy a PSTV for 50 burgers and put CFW on that shit, it's guaranteed to be CFW ready if you buy it brand new from amazon/ebay, don't get a Vita unless you're completely sure it's a OLED model and comes with 3.60 or earlier, otherwise buying an actual Vita has no benefits over the much cheaper PSTV.

>>14811626

>otherwise buying an actual Vita has no benefits over the much cheaper PSTV.

The only benefit the PSTV has over a regular Vita is price and a guaranteed OFW for new boxes.

The whitelist hack will fix a decent portion of games that don't really need a touchscreen but there are games that do need a touchscreen and games with mechanics that work significantly better with a touchscreen. The DS4 is really not a replacement for those games.

If you're getting a PSTV for the normalfag friendly shit then yeah, most of them will work fine with a PSTV.

>>14811681

PS1 emulation is going to look and feel wrong because they're all different aspect ratios and are upscaled several times. Adrenaline with the vita resolution 960x544 and 16:9 ratio is running the PSP 480x272 with a wonky 30:17 ratio running a PS1 game anywhere from 256x224 to 512x512 with ratios from 8:7 to 32:15 or a fucking box

I've been looking for it everywhere, with no results.

>>14818196

I know this doesn't help but JP game dumps are severely lacking on NPS because most of the people using NoNpDRM are primarily English speakers and don't care so much about preservation as they do playing free games.

Most of the JP dumps available are generally only there for people to use with asset swaps/translation patches.

>>14818370

This is one reason I even bothered jumping through all the hoops of a JP PSN. Can't be bothered contributing them to the DB though, at least not now (you aren't missing much don't worry).

Also had some fun with a corrupt game.

>had QCMA backup for my other Vita

>try to restore it, 64GB SD isn't working, can't find 64GB official card, 8GB stuck in format loop

>getting from pkgj was too slow

>figured out how to extract my QCMA backup and just copy the game data over

>didn't seem to work for the DLC but that was fast enough to get from pkgj

>realize too late it was probably fine, and only "corrupt" because I had patched some of the in-game ad videos and it was using the old method broken in 3.65

I'll have to start from scratch, too bad.

>>14820183

If you can softmod, it's possible to use the PC-based downloader for the game, and just overwrite the old game data, without breaking your save file.

>>14820205

I didn't find anything regarding 3.68 softmodding, so I guess if I find any problems with my other games, I might have to do a hard reset.

Most of the stuff I have are VNs anyways, so it isn't too bad if I lose the savefiles there, but I still have to wonder what exactly the idea behind was, that you can only delete your game with your savefile at the same time.

>>14820650

for what purpose? 3.60 is safe and stable

>>14820733

I know, that's why I'm asking if there is literally any real reason to do it.

>>14820650

Until the guy releases the full exploit later this year you'll be out of luck if you fuck up the update, it is hard to mess up if you follow the directions.

>>14820650

Absolutely for 3.65 game playing if nothing else. Just follow the instructions carefully. Notes:

>Plugins need updating usually

>old patches break, need rePatch

>>14820650

Depends on if you want to play the games that require 3.65 or not. Pretty easy to install though. Hell, Sony helped me out by forcing me to format the sd card and in ghe end I didn't have to worry about plugins to disable.

>>14820650

It's worth the hassle solely due to not having to use maidumped games for anything over 3.61-3.65 OFW

It's nearly retard proof as long as you can read and follow directions. Don't be a moron and skip backing up Vitashell under the idea that

<it won't happen to me

It can and will specifically because the universe knows you didn't do your back up correctly.

The only issue that may arise is if you have a problem that causes you to need to restore the firmware itself not reset to factory settings, format something, etc you will lose the exploit until the newer exploit chain is released.

Unless you're constantly fucking with the internal memory or something similar the chances you'll need to do that are nearly zero.

Most, if not all, highly used plugins have updates for 3.65 compatibility. The one thing you might have issues with is game patching because the setup for that is different from 3.60 however there IS a working patch method for 3.65

>>14822613

Which plugins and homebrew applications don't work on 3.65?

I'm paranoid because of worry about being unable to play fan translated games, does maidump and vitamin even work on 3.65?

>>14822693

>Which plugins and homebrew applications don't work on 3.65?

In general it's going to be stuff that hasn't been updated since their initial release but, as far as I know, there is no plugin that allows overclocking atm though it only helped edgecases most emulators have been updated, most utilities have been updated, etc.

>I'm paranoid because of worry about being unable to play fan translated games,

RePatch works on 3.65 and does work with fan translations.

>does maidump and vitamin even work on 3.65?

You really shouldn't have any Vitamin games at this point because it's been superseded multiple times.

While Mai does work Mai dumps are also obsolete for most people as NoNpDRM has nearly all of the maidumped games with none of the problems.

If you haven't installed NoNpDRM and pkgj that should replace 99% of your vitamin/mai games. If you're using something that only works with mai 3.65 doesn't break it.

I fucking love my vita, it's my favourite handheld of all time. It being the underdog and outcast just makes me love it more, the hidden gems shine all the brighter when you find them.

>>14822738

oclockvita still works. The major one that doesn't is the cheat plugin. And yeah, the old decrypted patch folder trick doesn't work for mods in 3.65 but there's a new taiHEN plugin to make it even better: rePatch. It allows DLC mods on top of not disturbing existing patches.

>>14822693

>mai dump

why have you not got PKGj yet? downloads games straight from a server to you vita.

>>14826647

I thought the first Bullet Girls was honestly trash due of serious lack of gameplay polishing (such as being able to never get hit by the AI if you spammed rolls or hitboxes not registering the explosions if you're somehow far), whereas the second one seemed to fix some of the big flaws.

>>14826663

Oh that’s pretty great to hear actually.

I sorta had fun exploiting the rolling, honestly. The explosions thing WAS an issue for sure though, the lack of mission variety did sort of bug me as well, and that final mission where you had to use stealth, even though it wasn’t required at all for the rest of the game, did really grind my gears a bit. Thanks for filling me in anon.

I was looking on Play-Asia, but they want goddamn $63 USD for it ON TOP OF their ridiculous shipping. I don’t see how anyone fucking uses them. I already found a copy on eBay for about $40 instead, with non-outlandish shipping. Fuck P-A.

>>14826777

>paying for vita games

When your console has easy access to custom firmware always pirate games you're interested in first and buy them only if you think they're worth it.

>but why would i buy them if i've already beat them?

Vita games (and japanese games in general) always have a ton of replayability, whether it's new game plus, different endings, different paths or the gameplay/individual missions being so fun you just have to play them again, it's not like say, pirating uncharted 4 or horizon zero awards to see what the buzz is all about and finding out it's just a glorified movie not worth the 60 burgers, in my opinion the only western games worth buying are rockstar's.

Trying to get Secret of Mana remake to work on my 3.65 Enso Henkaku 1000 model, gives error C1-6703-6 or reboots when I try it though. I got it with the latest version of PKGJ though. I'm guessing games above 3.65 are fucked at the moment? Or is there something I'm missing?

>>14829512

That's the error for games that need a firmware update. If HENkaku wasn't running it'd be an update nag.

>>14826647

It's an improvement over the first but not hugely different. If that sounds good to you then by all means, go for it. I like the random detail that you can touch your girls mid-game and they react to it.

I'm also waiting for BGP but I'm more likely to be playing that on Switch since I don't really want to deal with system updates.

>>14826798

Some of us don't pirate everything. Which, I'll grant you, half the trashy games I play should not have been. But there are some I'd consider worth supporting.

>>14829567

That's too bad. So there's no way to patch a VPK to force it to work on earlier firmwares yet or anything?

>>14829637

Why are you still installing VPK games when they're known to be shit?

The JP version of Secret of Mana only requires 3.65 and you can get an English script with save editing.

https://pastebin.com/GMKM1Wp5

>>14829953

I wouldn't normally, but it works as a last-resort if necessary.

That's good shit though, thanks for the tip anon.

>>14829512

>secret of mana remake

I hope that you played the original secret of mana already, because from everyone I know and have seen who care about that game, the remake seems to be shit

>>14829637

It may be possible to Mai dump them when the 3.67+ hacks are released. There's already been uploads of 3.61+ games for 3.60 systems. Still I wouldn't recommend that because Mai was already wonky for some games, and while it won't be as automatic as Enso, it will be possible to hack 3.67+ systems like original HENkaku.

anyone know if its possible to use rincheat to gameshark hack OP limits in armored core last raven?

I still won't fall for that, i remember buying Blue Reflection digital at full price because every single store i asked said they wouldn't be stocking the game (and they didn't until a few months later), only for me to walk into a CEX a mere week later and somehow finding a few copies on sale for 50, now it's 20-30 depending on how many they have left, i could have bought some cute outfits with those 30 bucks or hell maybe even a copy of the only other PS4 game i want in physical, Atelier Sophie.

>>14833296

You talking about remote play? Or about the cross play?

>>14833329

Cross play. I have a save file on my vita and they're playing on the PS4.

>>14832901

>used copies go for $40 here

Where do you live that Muramasa is more than $20 or so preowned? But yeah, I think that's become the "punishment" for a game to have an aftermarket: After a certain point, assuming it was ever marked down in the past, the DLC itself never goes on sale again in favor of making those that go for physical having to weigh paying full price on DLC (assuming said DLC is worth it; Muramasa's is good), or just go for the digital "complete" if it goes on sale for cheaper, because the publisher still wants their cut of shekels.

>>14835704

The announce page is still on their server (the bookmarked page I have of it isn't 404ed or anything), but you're right that the tag for it in their games section is gone. Maybe someone with a twatter should ask them about it.

>>14835608

I think it's more just how sales happen. They tend to peak around a year after the initial release and sales after that, including digital, tend to revert to the six months sale price and the rest of it DLC is forgotten.

You can witness the same general thing with PC games, particularly indie titles where they'll generally hit bundles for the equivalent of 1-2$ each.

>>14835704

>DT 2-2 in english

Honestly unless it's announced for localization in the next couple months hopefully by somebody that isn't shit it's probably not going to happen or will be digital only.

I'd rather hope for a fan translation at this point.

>>14835848

Pretty sure they've been actively avoiding talking about it for months, asking them on twatter is just going to lead to them continuing to not acknowledge it and probably block the asker so nobody else sees it.

As an aside, apparently SIE has announced they'll continue to "support" the vita through 2020 only in JP/ASIA so recent announcements about them ending physical card production outside of JP was really just another attempt to kill the Vita in the West.

Presumably they think less people will develop for the Vita if they don't see a market outside of JP, as if they believe the Vita flopped due to lack of games or something.

https://archive.fo/qjJQ7

Looks like they plan to try to intermingle the Vita and PS4 more even though they also said the PS4 is entering the end of it's lifecycle.

PSP3 still looks to be never ever.

>>14837204

Apparently Sony is still interested in "portable gaming" inb4 its just more phone shit

I'm getting impatient waiting for TheFagg0t to release the 3.68 hack. I almost bit the bullet and bought another Vita, but I stopped myself. If I buy another Vita, I'll never use thw first one ever again. For some reason, that made me feel sad for this hunk of plastic. What do I do?

>>14839316

Harvest it for spare parts if you get a same model replacement?

>>14839316

be patient fag. Just use or play whatever you can or even forget about your vita if you don't have any of those things to do and come back when you feel like it

impulse-buying a Vita sounds retarded unless you consider it some priority to have one right now

>>14839236

Sounds like they're taking the Nintendo approach and slowly getting their IP onto mobile phones because

>hurr that's where da most gaymurs are

The best part about those "statistics" is the completely retarded methods they used to obtain them and how many different ways they have to twist numbers to not be outright lying.

>>14839316

It's actually a good idea to save a couple of exploits for EoL but considering his previous track record it isn't intelligence that is making him hold back the release.

If he wasn't a moron it wouldn't be released until after 2020 since Sony "plans" to "support" the Vita until the end of 2020.

Whether that just means they will support remote play on the PS4 until they release the PS5, nobody really knows.

>>14837204

>I think it's more just how sales happen. They tend to peak around a year after the initial release and sales after that, including digital, tend to revert to the six months sale price and the rest of it DLC is forgotten.

A fair point, but if I remember right it's been years since the Genroku Legends themselves went on sale, in favor of just putting the complete digital into sales instead.

>Pretty sure they've been actively avoiding talking about it for months, asking them on twatter is just going to lead to them continuing to not acknowledge it and probably block the asker so nobody else sees it.

I remember a few weeks or so back an anon posting a link to Pqube's twatter wherein someone had asked if OLZ was still coming and they at least confirmed (although not with an actual date, because the asker provided too much wiggle room). Just thinking maybe someone needs to make note of the game suddenly missing in their roster on the site; if it's in error, maybe they'll fix it, and if not, maybe those looking to order can get some clarification.

>>14839236

>>14839427

That's what they've already done with Wild Arms and Arc the Lad, making the devs reboot both series for a new audience rather than try to cater to the original. Unless the idea is that all the prior fans in Japan just use phones.

So I've got some choice as of right now in physical vita games on sale near me, but I don't know what I should get. There's a lot of Vita games I have yet to play. I've mainly been focused on emulation up until this point. Can any anons vouch or recommend any of these games to me or dissuade me from any of them?

I'd like something with a nice story and/or characters, maybe turn-based but it doesn't matter as long as its high quality, fun and doesn't require or strongly encourage multiplayer or DLC to full enjoy it. A decent amount of gameplay hours is nice as well.

Hearts R is fun, but the English script is ass. Bamco not wanting to bring Hearts west in any form until SCEA forced their hand, they don't seem to have kept 8-4 on nearly as short a leash as they had for the prior games. Or perhaps even on a leash anyhow. Whatever the case, that's been the last time 8-4 was hired to handle the series. I really do hope that some one out there picks the game up for retranslation. And Innocence R for that matter. Unfortunately, at the moment there's a little issue in that there's pretty much no active Tales fan-translation fronts left, aside from Kaji apparently continuing to pick at Narikiri Dungeon 2 (or at least having had enough material done in the past to continue to shitpost with).

>Soul Sacrifice

Might want to go Delta for that, though if you want an English physical you'd be needing to import, as it's digital only in the west.

>>14839761

>>Odin Sphere Leiftrasir

Yes.

>Order game from overseas

>It's been stateside for two days

>Broken english on the tracking site says it's arrived at the destination office

Realistically nobody around me owns a fucking vita, I checked near. So I really doubt anyone would have stolen my package and kept it, but goddamn I am worried.

>>14840294

It might be sitting in customs.

It might also have been confiscated at random so customs can pretend they do their jobs properly.

>>14840242

There is an idea going around that the UK is trying to thoughtpolice Japan by making an outcry of Japan's "sexualized" culture. I can believe it given bbc propaganda and events like this that attack Japan for having "child porn" or "sexualizing children".

>>14840242

Wouldn't surprise me if a game being unable to come out in their own country means they actually stand to get in trouble for even working on it (didn't UK and Ausfailia deem the game as being dangerous towards the consumerbase and potential normalizing of child molestation?). If anything, while I know the US has it's own localization industry issues, I'd say they could stand to have at least a small NA division, if only to give them some leeway when PAL/UK starts throwing a shitfit about something. And really, it shows where the priorities are of both regions: better to crack down on lewd games, rather than anger all those rapefugees making good on the nickname in real life that they've allowed in.

I've said it before, but I can't help but think these strings of bans are meant to force companies that handle "icky" games to toe the line. I mean, it's all well in good that IFI and Pqube have been willing to just cut out parts of the market that refuse to rate their games rather than bow to demands, but if too much of the market gets cut out as a default, it might be deemed just not profitable enough to even bring stuff west, or at least completely intact. Though I suppose the other answer is that, since PAL countries seems to be the primary point of the issue, it might be better to just going back to the days of sixth gen and earlier, where PAL releases of Japanese games were almost afterthoughts compared to NA, and thus them missing out on a lot if unwilling to import/pirate.

>>14840464

Another thought: SCEA has in the past thrown its weight around towards games (and ports, in the case of the PSP and their rulings towards it back then) they didn't want in the NA library, resulting in cases like them forcing Agetec to cancel Shadow Tower Abyss back in the day, despite having the game almost entirely translated by that point (the game had to go on to be fan-translated) on grounds of not meeting graphical standards they wanted to push on the PS2 here and, according to them, there being no audience for King's Field style games here at that point. While perhaps not on the same logic for blocking, is there any possibility Sony Europe doesn't want OLZ in the PAL PS4/Vita library, and is all too happy to make the entire English world suffer for it since Pqube is a European based company, even if Pqube hasn't necessarily gotten into legal trouble over the game?

>>14850474

People have been clamoring about the mobile market being the death of handheld gaming since last gen. All I see so far are gacha games and one press dead brainers.

If the Nintendo Switch is anything to go by, it is that the market wants versatility with their handhelds and not some phone clone. Not sure if Sony will ever pick up this concept since they tried it and failed.

>>14854227

the Switch isn't a handheld though, its a portable console

>its too huge to be a handheld (can't even fit into a pocket)

>too expensive

>console prices for games

>console-styled games (huge open world 3D games with massive budgets a la Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild)

>has no backwards compatibility with the 3DS library and only has some ports from the Wii U

I feel the Switch isn't necessarily attracting the handheld market very much, only a few games (read: ports) I think would really be something you would "expect" on a handheld are even on the Switch, like Hollow Knight and 2D action-platformers and whatnot.

The new Fire Emblem and SMT remains to be seen though, but it will most likely take advantage of the Switch's power and be styled more like the console iterations of those games rather than the handheld ones

>>14854898

Whatever the Switch is doing is making Nintendo money. To me, it looks like a Wii U2 with added novelty.

Now, what Sony needs to do is to learn from the huge blunders they did with the Vita and take another shot at handheld gaming. Avoid arbitrary prices on expandable media, don't have stupidly low amounts of VRAM, and actually promote the damned thing. It might even be too late since Nintendo is now leeching into the niche weeb demograph with that Xenoblade Chronicles game.

I am disappointed in Sony.

>>14856166

>Too late

Xenoblade Chronicles didn't take away all the weebs from other consoles.

>>14854898

Have you tried removing the joycon before putting it in your pocket? It fits pretty well with them off if you aren't grotesquely short.

>>14856783

it takes less than a second to slide em on and off

>>14856714

Depends on your pockets but this is an option for track suits and the like. Generally I carry things in a backpack though, and don't usually take my Switch places. Vita's my main go-to for that.

>>14856166

I hope we never see a PS handheld ever again, good riddance I say, their first party almost unanimously sucked ass the only value it held was arbitrary exclusives, although I found there were still more better third party exclusives on the ds/3ds.

>>14856714

Get a backpack or a satchel, the only handheld I'd put in my pocket is a gameboy Micro, and honestly the Switch's display is nice and big, I wouldn't want it any smaller.

>>14857662

>although I found there were still more better third party exclusives on the ds/3ds

DS, yeah. 3DS is ok but doesn't hold a candle to the DS.

>>14854898

>The new Fire Emblem and SMT remains to be seen though, but it will most likely take advantage of the Switch's power and be styled more like the console iterations of those games rather than the handheld ones

Fire Emblem i would think would be guaranteed considering how fates was able to get 60fps out of it(when none of the other Koei games i've seen came close.)

The 3DS

Just because you didn't buy pirate doesn't mean the library is short on good content. Both handhelds had a lion's share of great exclusives and adequate multiplats.

And if we have to talk imports, your arguments gets even sillier since there werer lots of titles on both systems not making its way out of domestic market that were great.

>>14858965

The talk was solely about third-party softwares not the 1st party shit which I dunno why you did bring it about

>And if we have to talk imports, your arguments gets even sillier

Like said, region-lock prevented any import of that sort unless you owned a nip model. Even then, there wasnt much besides SRW UX/BX, Kenka Bacho 6, Metal Max 4 and that Game Center CX. Lot of small nip devs preferred developing on the Vita because they had greater chances to sell their softwares on Playstation systems than Nintendo ones due of the different audience types and competition within the library itself

>>14859183

That sounds a whole lot like "My tastes" which qualifies for all of dick if one has to measure the system's library. Your stance would be better if you were talking of the acres of outright shit shovelware the 3DS has, of which eclipses the DS easily. Same can be said for the Vita, however.

>The talk was solely about third-party softwares

All the titles I named were by and large 3rd party titles, chief. You need to play more things outside of Ninty's 1st party offerings.

>>14839761

I'm playing freedom wars atm, falls into the Toukiden and soul sacrifice realm of game.

>>14859403

>You need to play more things outside of Ninty's 1st party offerings.

That's pretty much what I did and like I said, the 3DS dont even hold a candle compared to the DS and the PSP/Vita. I ended up selling my 3ds and the games because I had no attachment over it compared to the other three handhelds

>>14858965

The 3DS had a reasonable amount of decent to good, sometimes great 3rd party shit.

The overwhelming majority of your list comes from Atlus though. The 3DS had a stupid amount of ports, remakes and remasters a lot of whom come from Atlus, which is pretty disappointing, even more so because they were just oftentimes remakes or remasters of shit that came out on the 3DS. SMT is especially guilty of this.

As a side note, Fire Emblem is second party, not third.

>>14859737

I haven't sold my 3DS but I sort of understand how you're feeling. I have a far greater love for my Vita for whatever reason than my 3DS, and I have a fuckhuge library for the thing. Nearly every game worth owning a physical copy for I own for it.

Though I only got my Vita a few months ago, I've had my 3DS(es) for… around 3 years now?

I still think there was at least juuust enough good shit on it to keep one and the physical copies of games worth having on it though. I would never sell my games or systems unless I was in some kind of severe financial distress or if the games were so utterly shit that I can't stomach possessing them.

>>14858965

The gap in terms of sales between Vita and 3ds was massive but the gap between titles is nonexistent or in favour of PSV, the PSV has more games, that's certain, big third parties is only slightly in favour for 3ds too. I had hoped that the Switch would siphon off a good portion of Vita devs, but really that's not what's happening, Sony already want another hanhdeld anyway, probably a Swap, handheld competition hasn't really changed the market outside the race to the bottom with battery life, it's mostly just splintered where games go.

>>14865831

Honestly if Sony had marketed anywhere near the levels Nintendo did, along with actually showcasing what the console had rather than the sports/normalfagshit handheld they pushed it as, they would probably have been closer together regardless of the retarded memory card prices.

Sony had hardware that, even after the three significant revisions Nintendo had, only really lost out in CPU due to not having done the hardware refresh that Nintendo did after five years.

<Sony already want another handheld anyway

Sony releasing another handheld would probably just be a Sony version of a Switch because, obviously that's what people want but a repeat of the Vita's issues, even down to the

>Proprietary shit where it's unneeded

>Push the minority of the console's actual software as representative of the majority

>Sporadically bring over random peripherals/memory cards but expect hardware to move like they're all WW

>We don't know why we can't get hardware sales where we want them, we need to abandon the platform

They keep releasing great hardware to decent fanfare and sales, doing stupid shit/making poor choices, then wondering why nobody wants to buy their shit after they strip out half it's features.

>>14868814

You could totally still sell a vita today, I guarantee if sony put out a Vita with MicroSD support, and a not retarded file transfer system it'd sell like fucking crazy.

Nobody fall for this meme and don't give Sony any money either, buy preowned or something

>>14871960

Not sure about anybody else but the torrent crashes my client after getting to about 5% downloaded, guessing it's my client because it's happened before. The DDL works fine though.

>>14872093

You can get a Vita 3.61+ in the US for less than $100 a lot of the time because everybody is dumping newer OFWs for muh frei gaymes.

Most of them are near perfect condition in some cases literally the only reason they're "used" is because morons don't understand that JP imports don't have the plastic sticker over the box flap that the US models did because they were likely sold upon being first opened and confirmed to be 3.61+

A new 32GB memory card is around $50-60.

That bundle is a worse deal than nearly anything you could get stateside.

You'd also be supporting Sony, who are all too happy to re-release the Vita without actually supporting it at all.

>>14872704

What client are you using?

>>14872726

Transmission 2.94/Windows. It tends to crash with particular torrents, I think it's related to Windows not liking : in file paths.

>>14872704

>You can get a Vita 3.61+ in the US for less than $100 a lot of the time because everybody is dumping newer OFWs for muh frei gaymes

This. Now's the best time to get a Vita for cheap. I'd suggest anything >= 3.65 so you can throw Enso on it once that comes out. If I knew a hack was gonna come for higher FW's a couple months earlier, I would've grabbed a cheap ass 3.65 OFW Vita and waited it out instead of spending 120€ on a 3.60 one.

Also I've been toying with the idea of buying up a couple OFW's now for cheap and then reselling them as CFW's later. They will probably skyrocket in price once the hack is out and people too retarded to hack will pay a pretty penny. And then they realize that they can't get around learning how homebrew works on a Vita anyway.

>>14872823

Transmission on Windows is pretty shit, those crashes are pretty much to be expected.

>>14872823

The better question is why any of the torrent's files have : in them since it's actually forbidden in Windows. Not on Linux but even then using it is a terrible idea since it's used as a path separator in environment variables, and in URLs.

>>14872450

Latest firmware will be breakable, albeit less than 3.65 since it'll be like the old browser exploit.

>>14874553

>The better question is why any of the torrent's files have : in them since it's actually forbidden in Windows

I'm not sure if any of these files have them in their path but that was the cause last time I had the issue, somebody using <title>:<subtitle> in the folder of a torrent and apparently renaming doesn't work. There appears to be some hidden list of symbols that transmission doesn't like on Windows but, as far as I can tell, it doesn't ask for changes and just crashes.

Honestly I should probably just move to some form of Linux since most of the shit I do isn't dependent on Windows anymore which was my previous excuse and it's just becoming a burden.

I managed to get the DDL pretty easily by just waiting it out it took about four hours but I was limited more by the site than my internet connection so, if nothing else, I still got the files before they get removed/vanish in a timehole.

>Latest firmware will be breakable, albeit less than 3.65 since it'll be like the old browser exploit.

That's not really a huge deal tbh. Most people use sleep mode a majority of the time rather than powering down and the Vita has an amazingly power efficient sleep mode.

I also would be surprised if there wasn't some way to import the payload to the offline installer that was used prior to Enso.

The only major issue is it may require fiddling with to be able to load the exploit without a Vita memory card if your primary storage is SD2Vita. Also it would probably fuck with your bubble organization each boot.

Ideally where would you complain for Sony to not pull yet another retard with storage?

>>14875527

There are zero places for you to go that would convince Sony to not at least try to retard storage because they do so frequently and throw fits when they fail.

The only reason the PSP's storage seemed less retarded was because they were also selling those cards for digital video devices and trying to compete with the SD card so they licensed the Memory Stick format out to 3rd parties which drove down the cost but not as low as SD cards.

So Nintendo announced the next Pokemon game(s) to come out will be for the Switch. They also appear to be phone tie-in titles or have extra phone capabilities and are not spinoffs like Battle Revolution. Also included is an actual mainline title announced for 2019 on the Switch. https://archive.fo/fDUDU

What makes this different from the past is that ALL mainline Pokemon titles have been portable only.

This is further confirmation that Nintendo is full of dirty lying niggers and they have consolidated their home console and portable lines into a brick of shit because nobody cares about real handhelds anymore.

This smartphone is mobile gaming meme needs to die.

>>14876140

>while Switch is bigger than a Vita it isn't actually that much bigger, enough to consider it portable. Not "fits in your pocket" portable (possible but not that practical) but something you can take with you, like a tablet.

I wouldn't really consider the Switch portable, the tablet screen is the same size as the entire Vita.

The Switch also has the two detachable joycons and using those in some form makes it significantly larger/more involved than the Vita.

It's decently lightweight and easy to assemble/disassemble but the amount of detachable parts even in handheld mode, low battery life, and the fact that just the tablet by itself is slightly too big to fit in a pocket I know some people carry around bags but I don't pushes it just outside of something I might have used as a handheld to something that may as well be stuck to the wall with how often it needs to be there charging.

>absolute power has never sold me on a game system. Games and good visual direction do.

Agreed, if console power was able to sell a system by itself the Vita would have been a runaway success since it blew the initial 3DS's specs out of the water.

>how well does it work since there's the database rebuilding stuff

As far as I know it'll reset the live area organization when you mount the SD card.

I'm unsure if it's per memory card or each time you swap cards but it's not like most people will be power cycling enough that it'll be a frequent issue.

Unless you're a faggot that has to fill 256gb SD card with games and never play anything while bitching about the bubble limit

https://stevivor.com/news/sony-talks-probability-new-handheld-playstation-classic-mini/

Just got mine. Damn this thing is great.

>>14879300

I cleaned her with screen cleaner and bought a carrying case

Something strange is happening:

A year ago someone sent me a message on my vita asking "what are you up to?", i just ignored it since i don't know anyone who has a vita and i never played online with it. Just now it happened another person sent me "Not trying to waste my time".

What is this? it happened right after i was searching for updates on a game, and i can't delete these messages.

>>14879508

It's just bots or scammers. Happened to me on my PS4 and once on my Vita. I do remember deleting the messages.

>>14880871

Those protectors are well worth it, one of them managed to survive my dog scratching it.

>>14880871

Wrist-strap is an essential i hadn't even thought about. Cracking my screen would crack my soul.

I've thought about making a custom loli skin for the vita. Which girls should I include?

>>14883056

Adorn her with only the finest loli NEET slobs.

>>14883105

maybe Sagiri but no Umaru, fuck that hamster cunt

>>14883056

Maja

>>14883324

Post some nice widescreen images if you have them

>>14883495

I don't, but the unteralterabach thread over on /delicious/ should have a good bit

Theme loli theme is getting usable, still need to make custom icons. Just put the theme3 folder somewhere you can find it, install with custom theme manager.

https://mega.nz/#!0d1Rzb4J!DuycI3fqsAkUs01GkbqhNtc1se3LLMpXaWxYOoAy_YA

it boggles my mind how the 3DS threads just fucking died in the past few months. It kinda pisses me off since I assume they all traded them in for the Switch or something because there's not much else to explain this, they were going strong before.

t. fag who was working on the chart for it

>>14883947

I own a physical copy of the game but got it sitting in a backlog due to not knowing how to even read the damned game. How legitimate are the online guides?

>>14887442

I haven't updated the previews yet, they are from some other theme, but they work fine.

>>14887607

I have the physical boxset. I can infer alot of things, but the gamefaqs forum has some people who are at the end game, so they provide some helpful tips. One part I got stuck on was after the caves, you have to fight some flat fish girl, then when you get her health to 0, you have to do the spell option with the pink seal guy to finish her off. This requires you to jerk off your vita, using both front and back touchpads to get the meter to 100%. At least this game uses all of the vita hardware available.

> PLAYAN

Nothing at the moment,

> WANTAN

kind of considering a new machine since i've already worn mine down pretty fucking hard at this point. Also want SRWX, Summon nights 6 kind of want Cold steel but the fact that the other half of the entire thing is PS4 exclusive for no real reason pisses me off to no end

> BUYAN

Still waiting on Bunny Must Die to get produced.

>>14894850

>BMD

you mean physical copies? cuz it's on psn

>>14894941

Only on Japanese PSN though. The good news is that it's only like 50MB so it's no worry to those with the crappy SD cards.

>>14894969

Mind you, this is a PAL release, so the game hadn't even been approved by sony when they took the preorders.

Best Buy's selection of Vita games is shrinking rapidly and they also ended their GCU program.

I wish I knew about how good the Vita was earlier. Best Buy treated me well when it came to getting new shit on my 3DS for cheap. Its a shame I was only able to take advantage of it for 2 games on the Vita: new copy of Superdimension Nep for $13 and soon, a new copy of Shiren for $26.

If only there were more game store alternatives. Now Amazon and fucking Gamestop are going to rape the NA market even more than they already were. I wish these alternative online retailers like Lukiegames and Playasia had some brick and mortar buildings but that's too much to expect out of them sadly.

>tfw some fag came into a bookstore I frequent that sells a shitton of vidya and apparently grabbed the entire vita collection that was out which included duplicates of games

Fucking scalper scum

>>14906634

Try anime and manga shops. The one where I live is where I've acquired, most of my Vita games, with a couple from various EB Games.

>>14906687

I only know of one nearby that I only visited for the first time recently and they are so outrageously expensive in the prices for their manga volumes that I'd be scared to look at their game selection, assuming they had any. That's still a good idea though for sure and I'll definitely keep that in mind and be on the lookout for any near me. For now I think pawn shops and things like that might be a better option though, sadly enough.

>EB games

Isn't that effectively gamestop now?

Anyways from their store locator it seems like there's none even close to my state, which is a shame.

>>14906745

Pawn shops are the other place to try of course.

>EB Games

Gamestop is the parent company yeah.

Is Exist Archive worth a damn? The trailers and reviews I've seen are giving me pretty indifferent feelings, but the fact that Spike Chunsoft was involved makes me wonder if its worth picking up.

>>14911441

I didn't play a whole lot of it, but the first hour so so was pretty bland.

Zanki Zero

I downloaded DOA5 using PKGj and found the available DLC lacking, how can I get more for this game?

>>14936545

pkgj is just an NPS downloader that works directly on the Vita.

If it's missing DLC it means nobody has bought it, dumped the license, and uploaded it to NPS.

Your solution is to buy it yourself, find somebody else to buy it and dump it, or beg around until somebody who does have it uploads it.

Yo fags I need some recommendations; I've gotten most of the games that are basically "must-have" that I think I would like for the Vita, including all Vanillaware games.

Here's some that I think might appeal to me; I prefer shit like RPGs with a pretty heavy focus on story but I'm open to most genres as long as they're fun, what are anons' opinions on:

>Fate/Extella

I have no experience with fate outside of Fate/zero and being aware of a few characters

>Valkyrie Drive

unsure about this one, it just looks like a version of Senrans+Yuri+weapon transformation but I don't know anything about it besides what I saw in a trailer

>Atelier Shallie Plus

no experience with the franchise whatsoever, the cover just looked like it'd be kinda appealing I guess

>Demon Gaze 1/2

Rarely play dungeon crawlers and I strongly prefer when they have actual, preferably meaty stories and good characters

>Xblaze Code/Lost

I have no knowledge about what this game even is, I assume its a fightan game?

Any good?

>Blazblue games

I heard they have good story modes for fightans (or at least one of the games did) but I wouldn't know

>Aegis of Earth/Freedom Wars

Haven't looked into these games yet outside of their game covers, they seem kinda… unusual?

>Arcana Heart 3

See Atelier

>MeiQ

See Demon Gaze

>Grand Kingdom

Its an SRPG so I'm automatically interested, but is it any good?

>Tales of Hearts R

Interested in the Tales of series but never played any of them, this one any good and on okay place to start?

>trillion: God of destruction

most idea factory games interest me, this one seems kinda interesting but I heard its strongly suggested to let characters die in this game to get all the endings or something, which is kinda weird sounding

>Dungeon Travelers 2

See Demon Gaze, but I'm more interested in this one

>Yomawari

I'm probably going to get this one no matter what, I just more had a question about NISA

I heard NISA Europe (Yes they're actually called this) doesn't poz the games nearly as bad as NISA does. Is this true and is it worth importing an EU copy?

The vita isn't region locked right? I'm still a newfag to it

>>14937320

I mostly cut out the shit I haven't played

>Fate/Extella

It's a musou with Fate characters. If you enjoy Dynasty Warriors and like the Fate universe you'll probably enjoy this

>Valkyrie Drive

It is exactly like Senran but with weapon girls.

>Atelier Shallie Plus

It's literally cute girls try to cute do cute things, hijinks ensue. It's a turn- based RPG with item collection/crafting.

>Demon Gaze 1/2

It's an old style 1st person dungeon crawler. If you don't like those you probably won't like these games

>Arcana Heart 3

It's a fighting game, do you enjoy fighting games? You might also like this one.

>MeiQ

It's another 1st person dungeon crawler. Decently fun but kind of drags itself out.

>Tales of Hearts R

If you have to start on the Vita yes, if not Symphonia is generally considered one of the best of the series.

>trillion: God of destruction

It's a princess builder game with short combat interludes.

>Dungeon Travelers 2

It is considered one of the "must-haves" for the Vita so it seems your collection is incomplete. Moreso than Demon Gaze and MeiQ the story is decently good, though rather short.

The postgame is where you'll get most of the challenge as it is difficult and fun.

>Yomawari

You shouldn't support any NIS or subset release in any form. Regardless of whether or not it's "one of the good ones" buying their products supports fucking up other releases.

That said I haven't played this release so I can't comment on the game itself.

<The vita isn't region locked right? I'm still a newfag to it

No, the Vita isn't region locked but the PSN is region locked so if you want to buy DLC for imported games you'll need to make accounts for those specific regions.

>>14937565

>You shouldn't support any NIS or subset release in any form. Regardless of whether or not it's "one of the good ones" buying their products supports fucking up other releases.

I was planning on buying that game preowned, i assume that's okay. I have some kind of autism for physical copies of game I like/games I think I'd like

>It is considered one of the "must-haves" for the Vita so it seems your collection is incomplete. Moreso than Demon Gaze and MeiQ the story is decently good, though rather short.

Well I know one thing I can get for sure at least now, thanks anon

>No, the Vita isn't region locked but the PSN is region locked so if you want to buy DLC for imported games you'll need to make accounts for those specific region

I'll keep that in mind, thanks anon.
