explain.

If I have a 3.60 vita with henkaku (no enso) do I have to follow the preparations part of the guide before updating to 3.65?

>These steps are for preparing a 3.60 HENkaku (Ensō) device to update to 3.65. If you have a stock device and are trying to update to 3.65, follow Updating to 3.65.

>>15204547

Their mods and commenting guidelines are pozzed

Will updating to 3.65 while using a psvsd result in anything fucky happening?

>>15205232

I'm a little surprised if you didn't install Ensō given that it is so much nicer than having to set it up every time on boot. That said given regular HENkaku is not permanent you should be safe to just follow the guide as-is. If you had 3.60 Ensō you'd probably want to take precautions as you would for the old 3.60->3.65 update365 method.

>>15205283

I've just realized the guide doesn't have any "upgrade" mentions like the 3DS equivalent does for people on A9LH. Can anyone answer if there's any issues or can you just update?

>>15205281

Great. The one time I try doing nice it ends up making me look stupid.

How come the NoPayStation Browser only shows 3227 DLCs (in total) on my end ? i tried to download the missing DLCs on the google database sheet and rename them to their content ID, but NPS Browser wont let me them unpack either because they're "unknown pkg" files.

The new method for any firmware below 3.67/8 to play later firmware games released today. The program needed to make patches for the games is called FAGDec. Once the patches are made for said game you need to use RePatch.

>PLAYAN

>WANTAN

>BUYAN

Nothing, I haven't paid for a single game since I bought my Vita. Been on Enso 3.60 since day 1

>>15206058

NPS just released their first batch of comppacks, and NPSB and PKGj have been updated to support them.

https://nopaystation.com/vita/npsReleases/NPS_Browser_0.92.exe

https://github.com/blastrock/pkgj/releases/tag/v0.31

https://gitlab.com/nopaystation_repos/nps_compati_packs/raw/master/entries.txt

PKGj users need to remove the "entries.txt" because reasons.

Currently only unpatched games are supported, patch support will come later this week (along with, presumably, another version of PKGj that actually supports more than one comppack per game).

Crosspost from here, I overlooked the Vita thread.

>>15212590

Besides Catherine: Full Body and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (which probably won't get physical releases in the West because Sony will stop producing them by March 2019), are there any noteworthy games coming out any time soon?

>>15208287

Guess I'll wait on updating my shit until next week.

>>15205283

You do need an actual Sony memory card if you're on a 1000 model. The 2000 can use it's internal storage.

You should be fine just using the normal update method to 3.65 and then installing enso through h-encore.

>>15212612

I really hate the term "noteworthy" because of how many factors are involved that could change a game's noteworthiness to each individual.

Check the site in the OP labeled "upcoming games", it lists a majority of the releases coming to the Vita outside of the extreme indie titles that aren't announced early. Decide yourself from there.

If you need people to tell you which games are "noteworthy" you need to work on fixing your shit taste.

I am about to give up PKGJ

I don't understand what the fuck to do with this and this github is not helping me.

>>15212921

You didn't say what your issue was but if no games are loading make sure your config URLs are http:// and not https://

>>15212995

Sorry, I'm really frustrated because I should be working on something else for tomorrow.

Anyway. So I have in ux0/pkgi/config.tx this list:

url_games http://nopaystation.com/games.tsv

url_updates http://nopaystation.com/updates.tsv

url_dlcs http://nopaystation.com/dlcs.tsv

url_psx_games http://nopaystation.com/psxgames.tsv

url_psp_games http://nopaystation.com/pspgames.tsv

url_comppack http://nopaystation.com/comppack/

Is there anything i'm fucking up here?

>>15213015

It's named config.txt right?

Is the path ux0:pkgi/config.txt?

Do you have any spaces after anything in the config.txt?

>>15213048

right yes. that's exactly what it is

>>15213048

and no there is none

>>15213015

Where the hell did you get those URLs from? None of those are correct.

>>15213015

Go to the NPS website and get the actual TSV urls for your config file. For example Vita games would be

url_games http://nopaystation.com/tsv/PSV_GAMES.tsv

third try because I can't fucking type

>>15213096

well I've done that and made progress, and now I am getting a Disk I/O error

>>15213142

Sounds like your Vita couldn't read/write to whatever storage medium you're using. Could be an unseated card. Could be a failing card.

If you're using SD2Vita or similar it could be a poorly configured plugin.

>>15213161

Could be a full internal memory.

Let me see if I can dig out that pstv and grab that 8gig mem card for now

Yo fags, does a

>PS Vita the best

mean its an online or PSN-redeemable thing, or is it an actual physical copy?

If it is, what's the difference between a PS Vita the best version and a normal version of the game?

>>15213639

>By "the normal update method" you need to have your DNS settings at a particular thing or otherwise you update to latest

Yeah I retarded that sentence, it should have said "official update pup" since you can go from official 3.65 to 3.65 enso without going from 3.60 and just using h-encore is way less work than using the modified 3.65 pup/update365 method.

>I was about to ask whether it was unsafe homebrew disabled

I believe any homebrew needing extended permissions has to request it on install and there is no method I am aware of to remove permissions.

>>15213718

Vita the best is the Greatest hits line of the JP region.

It's a lower cost rerelease of popular titles.

>>15213797

Installing VPKs tells you the permissions it will be able to use, but you can also switch off extended permissions system-wide in HENkaku settings. Which isn't all that useful since a lot of VitaShell's common functions require it but still.

I got back in to Mary Skelter this week. The localization itself isn't horrible but there are various typos that I've noticed; missing capitalization, extra words, etc. Nothing glaringly obvious where they took "artistic liberties" in a way that fucks with characters though.

I'm in the Dorms area currently I believe I'm slightly over the halfway point based on areas I can see and holy shit this game's dungeons rapidly spread the fuck out, each floor of the later dungeons are probably about the same size as the first couple of dungeons in their entirety.

There's also a lot of samey puzzles/dungeon progression, most deal with arrow redirection, bombs, and scissors, sort of feels like they ran out of inventive ways to use the map abilities in the first few dungeons.

>>15215056

Ah, that didn't occur to me because I've only touched the henkaku settings maybe three times total.

It sort of undermines the seriousness of the original intent of the "unsafe homebrew" setting since literally everything needs something that is considered "unsafe".

are there any games with difficulty on the vita yet other than ninja gaiden and natural doctrine?

i tried dungeon travelers and steamrolled it,

i tried stranger of sword city and random encounters throughout the whole game only do 1 damage while boss fights do 10. it was actually quite shocking.

>>15218607

That one anon who really liked DT2 and used to post really informative things about it says that the difficulty is not in the main story, but there is a lot of post-game content that is the true test. If anything the main story is the tutorial to all the features.

So I don't understand how to get PKGj working. Where do I place the config file even?

>>15224361

Read the setup instructions on the github faggot. It is nearly retard-proof.

What are the risks of using cross saving on a pirated gsme

>>15226544

Probably nothing since Sony hasn't given much of a shit about Vita games/online in years.

>>15225281

This. Also speaking of Git I should've actually pushed the hack guide onto a Git repo so it's possible to update without needing to change the OP, and keeps the history in a more robust way. Maybe not today, but later. I've never dealt with Git contribution.

>>15226544

I wouldn't do it. But as far as I know the checking isn't anywhere near as robust as online features on Switch, where it actually validates that you own the game digitally, and the carts have their own unique ID as well.

So fags I'm in an awkward situation. All of the games I want to start playing have predecessors on other systems I haven't finished yet, fuck

In the meantime, can fags recommend to me good 2D turn-based RPGs and/or intense VNs to play? Preferably no first-person dungeon crawlers if possible, but top-down ones are fine if they're story-focused. Emulation of older shit is fine too if you've done it and had no problems; PSP/PS1 shit that works well on Adrenaline is also fine as well

>>15213797

Thanks for the information anon

Seems like its just like that cancer Nintendo Selects shit they had for the 3DS where they ruin the cases basically

>>15226839

>Seems like its just like that cancer Nintendo Selects shit they had for the 3DS where they ruin the cases basically

It is but the Selects/Greatest Hits/etc retain little/no value after they're opened, beyond the game itself, so people that want to play the games themselves rather than try to be a collector faggot have the option to buy those for 10-20$ rather than $100+ original releases.

I don't get why they can't make the impact more subtle than the obnoxious borders and shit they put all over it, or why they can't just print more of the original cases themselves which would lower value of the current ones in the market anyways.

>>15229752

What do you mean by an intense VN?

>>15230911

Something with action, violence, horror or some combination of those

Basically I want something to get the blood racing

>>15230809

>I don't get why they can't make the impact more subtle than the obnoxious borders and shit they put all over it,

I don't know for sure why exactly but I suspect it is supposed to be obnoxious. It is a signifier that you didn't buy the title for $60 and fuck you for being a bad goyim. Probably.

>or why they can't just print more of the original cases themselves which would lower value of the current ones in the market anyways.

It's not so much that Sony cares about the rising price of original releases but that they want more original retail cuts. By reprinting the games they get money from that rather than people buying "collector's" copies of games that they Sony get no cut of.

They also do allow devs to reprint without the "Greatest Hits" moniker but generally "Great Hits" type releases are after a decent portion of time (one or more years) so it's designed to draw attention to the reprint and a bit to stop people trying to sell them as original print runs.

Hyperdevotion Noire DLC crashes the game when downloaded through pkgj. Without it it runs fine, any idea what is wrong with it?

So how does someone update their games that they downthreaded from PKGj?

>>15232424

Barring the new trick to bypass firmware requirements, you just update it like any real Vita game. This is why NoNpDrm is the way, while Mai/Vitamin are old and busted. Do be aware that some updates force higher firmware requirements.

>>15232454

So just update from the live area?

Fucking Vita

Is this accurate?

I'm looking for some help with SD2Vita. I'm running H-Encore Enso on a PSTV 3.65. I received my adapter, used vitashell to put all the drivers in their proper place under ur0, added "ur0:tai/gamesd.skprx" to ur0:tai/config.txt, formatted my SD using the correct files and copied the entire ux0 directory onto it, then restarted to find that it wasn't being picked up at all. So I did some digging online and figured out that "ur0:tai/gamesd.skprx" needed to be the first line under the kernel heading for it to load in the correct order. I went into vitashell, made the correction, then rebooted. This time it refused to properly boot at all. My HDMI splitter repeatedly shows a signal coming from it for 3 or 4 seconds before shutting off, then turning back on again. I have two adapters, both 3.0, but neither one seems to make a difference. My guess is that it's one of a few things. Either it's failing to mount the SD properly because both of my adapters happen to be faulty (which apparently isn't too unlikely from what I've read), I did something wrong with my SD card and need to either move files around or reformat, or some other unknown issue that I can't diagnose. If anyone has any insight on this issue, It'd be greatly appreciated. I'll stick around in case I need to answer any questions

>>15243205

Which games and mods are you referring to?

>>15243224

Dunno because I'm not clicking on a direct jewtube embed

>>15243380

Post your config file in entirety, as a picture is fine but otherwise in a code tag. Otherwise the only thing I can think of is that your SD card isn't formatted right, have you done it as per

http://wololo.net/2017/07/20/setting-sd2vita-adapter-formatting-microsd-can-done-windows/

I doubt that you'd have managed to get two lemon SD adapters, but it's possible. I've only got two first-gen ones, and now use a PSVSD.

>>15243396

I'm only aware of Shinovi Versus and Moe Chronicle as getting nude mods, and the two Re;translations.

>>15246283

I would post my config, but I don't have access to it without vita shell. No booting means I unfortunately can't access it right now. If there's any way around that, I'd very much like to know. Because otherwise I think I'm dealing with a brick. I took at look at the tutorial. It's not the one I followed, but the steps are all exactly the same. The tutorial I used was from Codedonut. One thing that'd help me figure out how fucked I am would be a report of what happens with a properly setup SD2Vita when a memory card is absent. I'd assume the console just defaults to internal memory as it does with regular memory cards, but I'm not sure. Actually come to think of it that shouldn't matter at all in my situation. I've already tested without a memory card and it still won't boot. So unless there's some way to access my ur0 config file without the shell I'm probably bricked. I'm genuinely baffled as to how this happened, as all I did was change the position of one line.

>>15246992

>>15246283

Brief follow-up, I re-formatted my memory card and actually did find one mistake I had made. I interpreted "default allocation size to mean what Windows defaulted to, not realizing that's an actual option. But it made no appreciable difference. Everything is still the same as it was before.

>>15246992

I should document it actually but to recover broken plugin situations you hold L on boot. There's an equivalent with H-encore/HENkaku.

>>15230956

Maybe Muv-Luv? I'm not sure how the translation is or how censored it is on the vita. You'd probably hate the first part though.

>>15247301

What's wrong with the first part?

>>15247867

It has a different tone to the other 2 parts and is more of a traditional VN, that's all

>>15247195

That sounds like a great solution, except I'm using a PSTV. I tried doing it with a DS4 plugged in through USB, but it didn't want to do anything. any idea how I can get it to work?

>>15248202

>other 2 parts

Just how many parts does this VN have? Does this all occur in the same game? I'm aware of Muv-luv and muv-luv alternative, are those different "parts"?

Also how long is each part? I don't wanna be left in limbo too long before the action begins unless its really a masterpiece worth being patient for

>>15248444

The vita release that's just titled Muv-Luv holds extra (this is the one that's more like a traditional dating sim VN and is the first part), and unlimitied (the second part). Alternative is the 3rd part. Unlimited and Alternative fulfill what you want, but I think they require the first part for context

>>15247195

Doesn't holding L on boot just load the config from ur0 instead of ux0?

If he installed SD2Vita as it's normally done I don't think holding L would prevent misconfigured plugins from loading because part of that is deleting the ux0 config from the Sony card to get config loaded by the internal memory by default.

>>15248374

Try inserting a regular memory card and try to restore the system.

Check your config for trailing spaces, check your SD card for errors, make sure your card is seated well/has clean pins.

If that doesn't work you might be able to fix it by reinstalling 3.65/enso to see if that allows you to boot.

>>15248627

That's what the original PC release did too.

>>15249094

>Implying 13 sentinels for the vita isn't canceled

It's gonna be on PS4 and Switch

>>15249438

I choose to believe and have hope

Is there a way to play PSP games backed up from a vita using qcma on ppsspp?

>>15249466

To be fair the vita version may be released in JP, but like the recent SaGa, western/ international release might see a PS4/PC/Switch release instead. In such a case, we'd have to hope some kind soul would either transcribe the translation into the vita version's dialogue files, or someone rips the trans using a hacked switch and makes it useable for the vita.

>>15249466

fair enough

>>15204436

Just bought VA-11 HALL-A or however it is spelled, and Musynx. They might be fun.

>>15230809

The Zero Escape series is right up your alley. Hell, if you are quick, the first one is free on PS Plus right now

>>15250437

> free on PS Plus

I need to know why.

Why do you pay for PS Plus? Are the Vita specific perks that important/valuable to you? Do you own a PS4 as well? Do you think games are free even though you only get/have access to them when you pay a subscription fee?

>>15250458

Yeah, I also own a PS4. Doubt I'll renew it again once my subscription runs dry, but for the time being, it'd be a waste of my money not to take advantage of it.

>>15250453

I never played 999, heard great things about it, good things about VLR and mediocre/bad things about ZTD

Guess I can give the first one a try or something

>PS Plus

Be wary of giving your money and control to Sony, they can screw you over at any time.

https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2018/02/sony-bans-ps4-gamer-user-id-2012-now-deem-offensive/52286/

My Vita is hacked and I have physical copies up the ass for almost everything I really want and piracy for everything else that I'd be interested in

>>15248639

I'd already tried my memory card and unfortunately it doesnt change anything. Which makes sense since it doesnt have a config file on it.

>>15250205

I'll maybe try a few other controllers before giving up on it. Wireless ones are weird, even with USB. I might have more luck with strictly USB controllers. Otherwise I guess I'm gonna have to figure out how to open up this tiny box

>>15250205

Also if you have the source for that screenshot I'd appreciate it if you could toss it my way. The L boot option isnt looking too promising. Also it just fuckin hit me that the PSTV might not even have a battery. Shit.

>>15250768

https://manuals.playstation.net/document/gb/pstv/basic/power.html

https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/h-encore

https://enso.henkaku.xyz/

That's all of them. For HENkaku/Ensō/H-Encore it should universally be hold L to skip config. For the vanilla recovery menu it's hold PS+R+Power on Vita, and PSTV is apparently that screenshot I gave.

>>15250762

Okay that seems more promising. Except the one snag I've hit here is my PSTV wont even turn off. The most I can get it to do during a failed boot loop is have the LED indicator flash if I hit the power button twice. I've been unplugging it? But every time I plug it in, it just immediately enters the boot loop. Interestingly, I am able to keep the console turned off by holding down the button as I'm plugging it in. I'll try to get that option to work somehow then I'll report back

>>15250794

Ehhhhhhh I got it to enter safe mode. Thanks for all the help

>>15250811

Okay, so now that its restored, I'm back to square one yeah? Anything I can skip this time or should I follow it as though I was on stock

>>15250891

Tell me your config. I provided my taiHEN config in the hack guide also that should tell you how to lay it out. Critical bit is I use PSVSD so switch usbmc.skprx for the one used by SD2Vita.

>>15250920

Alright, I guess I'll follow the guide again up until I have Vitashell working. I'm not sure what files still exist anymore, so we'll see what happens with that. My config will probably just be whatever the default one is tho. Gimmie a bit then I'll update

>>15250528

Well shit, I never heard about that. Thanks for the heads up anon. I knew Sony was cucked, but shit

>>15250920

Yeah, my config was completely wiped as expected. Currently working back to where I was before, should be smooth sailing from here on out. I'll take a peek at your config for reference. Thanks again for all the help, I'll let you know how it went after I've wrapped it up

>>15250920

I'm beginning to really firmly believe this is just me getting fucked by the adapters. I used this guide for the main h-encore enso installs both times; https://vita.hacks.guide/ and this time I used https://vita.hacks.guide/storagemgr as my SD2Vita configuration. Before I thought that I may have made a slight error when editing my config which caused the boot loop, but this time I know for a fact that I did it correctly. ur0:tai/config.txt was the first line under kernel, I had no ux0:tai to worry about, and every other line was pathed correctly to ur0. But despite this, I once again am stuck with a boot loop. I didn't save my tai config because I was confident I wouldn't need to which I understand was foolish but what's done is done., but I assure you that I made no mistakes. My best guess is that it tries to mount the SD card as ux0, is unable to find it, then reboots ad infinitum. I'm gonna place an order for a 5.0 adapter, as they're supposedly more reliable. If that still doesn't work, you'll probably see me popping up here again. For now though, can't thank you enough for the help, god bless.

>>15251664

Shit the part where it says ur0:tai/config.txt is supposed to say ur0:tai/storagemgr.skprx I know that's not a good look for somebody claiming they made no mistakes, but hey, I double checked the config, but didn't double check the comment. I stand by my assessment

How good are the Atelier games?

Can anyone sell me on why I should or shouldn't buy or play them and where I should start (assuming there's a good starting point on the vita)? I'm more of a newfag when it comes to cute girls games; I've only played Nep re;birth 1 (and I plan on playing all other nep games)

>>15253480

the series peaked at Escha&Logy.

I'd recommend other games from the same developer: Mana Khemia and Ar tonelico

>>15253547

Okay

What makes them worth playing?

I know almost nothing about Atelier and even less about those games; I'm guessing they're involve alchemy, cute girls and are pretty comfy JRPGs?

>>15253547

Mana Khemia is Atelier too.

>>15255881

>>15253574

Mana Khemia is just Atelier with a larger emphasis in combat, so it doesn't differ much from them.

Ar tonelico on the other hand, is a series that takes in a ridiculously developed sci-fantasy universe where the developers wen to the point of making up six different languages for it (four of them having each a fully functional grammar and a decently-sized lexicon), a timeline spanning over 10000 years of history, several in-universe myths and legends and a complete scientific and cosmological framework to explain why everything happens on it.

Couple that with thought-provoking stories, decently developed characters (of which the main heroines generally have the most development), and a soundtrack that must simply be listened as you play through the game.

>>15256487

It's amazing the amount of effort they put into Ar Tonelico, i really wish they had done more with it as a setting.

>>15256494

I'd say they employed it well enough in the games themselves, given the plots and their resolutions wouldn't have worked nowhere as well in other settings.

Besides, the games themselves aren't all there is to that universe.

>>15256501

>I'd say they employed it well enough in the games themselves

Oh i meant i just wish it had been used in more stuff is all, it's one of the better settings i've seen in an rpg.

>Besides, the games themselves aren't all there is to that universe.

True, wish some of the lore books had been translated, apparently it's good stuff. And i still listen to the OST on a regular basis.

>>15256551

Well, the lore books do have fan translations available at the series' Wikia. But as for them getting translated officially… That's difficult to say the least, not to mention there's a high likelihood the translations would get several things wrong.

PSTV anon again. I got two SD2Vita 5.0 adapters and once again they made no difference. But since I'm confident I made no errors on the vita side, and since I really don't want tot redo everything again if I don't have to, I'm now working under the assumption that I fucked up something with the SD card itself. I can't for the life of me discern what it could've been though. I wrote the zzBlank.img disc image to the card, then formatted it in exFat with default allocation size and no volume label. I did use quick format, but I doubt that'd make a difference. Anyways the other place I could be making a mistake with is the file pathing on the card. If this is the case, then I'm gonna feel like a fuckin idiot, but so be it. All I've been doing is dumping my ux0 backup onto the root of the card. I tried it with the backup in a folder labelled ux0 as well just to be thorough, but it naturally made no difference. I'm getting a bit tired of doing all this, but I'm not gonna give up. I'm going to try a few things myself, but any suggestions are of course appreciated.

>>15257778

Why not try using usb memory with the PSTV for now? If it works, the the problem is the adapters, if it doesn't either you're a retard or you fucked up something more fundamental when you first fucked up.

Also, anyone know if there's a way to update PSP isos on PC or through adrenaline? The game I want to run on the vita's psp emulator needs an update, and I'm having to drag an old psp out to update, but it'd be nice to know if there was a method to update psp games/isos without having to get an actual psp.

I recently got a 3.60 vita for super cheap, my final verdict on it is most of the first party titles suck but I really love it for playing indie games or xcom.

The analog sticks suck dick which makes me wonder how killzone mercenary got so popular when it controls like ass because of the vita. Dragons crown is not as good as I was led to believe and clicking the screen to unlock treasure is fucking horrendous.

iirc the plugin has multiple versions some of them are for internal memory duping (everything points to ur0) and the other are memory card duping (everything points to ux0).

Make sure you have the right plugin for what you're trying to do and if you're duping ur0 you may need to delete the ux0 tai (or just the config file) so it doesn't load instead of ur0.

Atelier is a serie of games that use time-management and creating various kind of items from your travel findings. The items you create range between battle equipment for your party, items that make gathering materials easier, and obviously items necessary for the plot. In Atelier Rorona, you have to complete the tasks designated by the kingdom in order to avoid the shop to be closed down because of your master's laziness. In Atelier Totori, the heroine want to find the truth about her adventurer mom's whereabouts. There are no big bad guys or some ancient evil in those games.

The Plus versions on Vita are basically the base games + all the DLCs from the PS3 versions.

Like someone pointed out, the series peaked with Escha&Logy. Shallie is okay, but it was the first game to abandon the time-management element, and the Plus version had the second half of the story rewritten due of massive backlash in Japan. Play it if you want a closure of that trilogy though.

Dont bother with Sophie, Firis and the twins one. They're bad games on top of being ports on Vita too.

Vita has access to the PS1 Atelier (Marie & Ellie) the PS2 Atelier (on PSP format such as Viorate, Judie and Mana Khemia 1&2). The sole Atelier games missing on portable format are the Iris games. Kinda wished there would be a Vita port of the PS2 Ar tonelico too.

>>15261584

Though the PS1 Ateliers and all the PS2 ones excepting for Mana Khemia 1 that can be played in the Vita are Japanese-only.

I finally managed to get it working. It's been about 5 days of on\off fuckery, but it finally functions the way it should. On my third reinstall, I used the latest version of gamesd.skprx, which may have been the solution. However the more likely solution was that I made a dumb mistake when creating my folder backup. The first two times, I simply copied all the files in the ux0 folder instead of just copying the folder itself. Regardless, it works now. And once again, thanks for the help.

>>15262051

Most of the Vita/PSP library is locked behind the japanese language barrier, and then you have the matter of the (((localizations))). I recall Atelier Rorona/Totori/Meruru Plus still using the NISA's translation script even if those versions were published by KT in the West.

Still looking forward with hope that we see more Vita ports of niche nip PS2 games, although the PSP did that job pretty good too. Cant complain about the current vita library anyway, especially with Catherine Fullbody being the icing in the cake for this year's fall. Bullet Phantasia seems really fun too.

>>15262591

128 is exactly the size I got for this actually. Only paid 45 maple dollars for it too. Meanwhile a 32gig proprietary card is 90. That's a big part of why I was so convicted to make this work.

Also, I'm actually really fuckin glad to hear that P3D and P5D dont have a story mode. I love the shit out of Persona 3, but if they're gonna create more stories for those characters, it needs to be after FES, not during the events of P3. The fuckers have no respect for their own characters. MC's and Shinji's deaths played an important role in the story and the growth of the others, as with any well done character death. It's always bothered me when writers try to find loopholes to bring a character back just because they're popular. PQ (and it looks like PQ2 as well) flanderizes the shit out of every single character, and the writing is pretty subpar. Arena and Ultimax are a bit better because they actually try to advance the characters slightly, but still flanderize. I cant speak for DAN tho. Regardless, I'm glad they're not dragging more characters into a contrived dance contest or whatever. It's a shame the gameplay's not better tho. I think I would've preferred them trying to emulate the project diva series. Sega owns them now, so it probably wouldnt have been a problem. Oh well.

>>15261584

Wait, what? Shallie plus got a rewrite? I only played Shallistera so far but on PS3 after that retarded crash-on-growth menu was patched.

What was rewritten, anon? I don't mind if it spoils Shallote's route, go ahead.

I just beat Persona 4 Golden, and for some reason my PSTV completely freezes up whenever I try to view trophies I earned in it. I can't even shut it down by holding the PS button, I have to pull the plug. I'm on 3.65 Enso, has anybody else had this issue?

How's the Play-Asia translation of moero chronicle?

>>15263016

Like singlish with the "la"s removed.

>>15263042

What.

>>15263057

Imagine talking to someone whose lived in SEA their entire life, but speaks english as their second language. It's clearly english, understandable, but the syntax, pronunciation, etc. has largely been affected and "slangified" by having it as a second language. I specify singlish because, having spent time on ancient singaporean model building forums, the syntax is almost exactly the same, it's just missing all the "la"'s and general slang/ net slang. If I just imagine "la" at the end of every other sentence, it takes me right back to those forums.

>>15263166

I should specify that the english itself doesn't read as if it were accented, just that the syntax is very similar.

Ok guys, I just updated to 3.65 and I want to play some utawarerumono: MoD

What's my best option?

I've previously been playing it using a maidump of the japanese version plus english patch plus resolution patch.

I see that there is a nonpdrm US version, but since it's encrypted, I wouldn't be able to apply a resolution patch, right?

So is my best option to download a maidump of the US version and then patch the eboot.bin for resolution? Has this game have any updates that I'd miss out on by using the maidump? (I don't see any patches dumped with maidump) Has anyone already patched the eboot.bin so I won't need to mess with hex editor?

>>15263788

Hmm… It looks like letmaidie has been released.

Maybe I can spend some time trying to dump utawarerumono with it and then edit the eboot too.

>>15263788

>>15263855

>resolution patch

Eh?

>>15264149

The 3d battle scenes are rendered at shitty low resolution (384p) by default. It's possible to patch it to render at native vita resolution (540p).

See: youtube.com/watch?v=o_4Ds8Cu4yQ

>>15274624

Sometimes Asian releases have English, that's how I played Moe Chronicle.

>>15278192

How was it?

Was it worth Play-Asia's high price?

I thought it was an alright dungeon crawler, I wouldn't pay the price they are asking for it at Play-Asia though.

>>15230809

>Please do this, any fags who still care about the Vita

After what Sony did to Omega Labyrinth Z? I give no more fucks. I collect what I will at my own pace and likely not first-hand unless I think the devs deserve it.

>>15282362

This is about a physical release for a Vanillaware game published by Atlus, they have next to nothing to do with Sony's jewery on that front

>>15282604

Omega Labyrinth Z was developed by Matrix Software and Published by D3 Publisher but that didn't stop Sony US/EU from blocking it.

Devs and publishers do take notice of when hardware makers do stupid shit, they frequently just have no outs other than jumping to a hardware maker that has done dumb shit previously.

Buying physical games gives Sony money because they are the ones who print the cartridges, plus the obligatory fees per game.

If you want to support the developer/publisher buy one of their other games, preferably on another platform/the JP release instead.

>>15282656

>Buying physical games gives Sony money because they are the ones who print the cartridges, plus the obligatory fees per game.

That's all but tertiary and a pittance to Sony is it not? The majority of it goes to the devs and publishers doesn't it? Moreover I would want to support the practice of physical releases where I retain control of the game over this PSN bullshit. Sony does a lot of jewish things but printing game cartridges for the Vita isn't one of them, and that's the only thing that this would indirectly "support" as far as I'm aware.

>If you want to support the developer/publisher buy one of their other games, preferably on another platform/the JP release instead.

Most of their games are released on Sony platforms anyways and other platforms are just as jewish (Nintendo, Microsoft). In terms of the japanese release, that wouldn't be of very much use to me as I can't read nipponese and moreover, Sony of Japan is jewish if you want to split hairs to this level anyways

https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2018/07/sonys-shuhei-yoshida-says-need-to-cater-to-all-genders-ages-races-sexual-orientations/63463/

This will be probably the last game of note that (might) release on the Vita and i want it to come over so I can play and enjoy it without having to learn a new language over half a decade or longer and I don't want it to be a PS4 exclusive or only available on the Vita through PSN

>>15282802

>That's all but tertiary and a pittance to Sony is it not? The majority of it goes to the devs and publishers doesn't it?

Until you have hard numbers that state otherwise I'm going to presume a cut of 20-30%, similar to Steam as a distribution platform. The carts themselves being printed are most likely a one time fee for printing plus whatever fees they may have to pay for logo usage.

>Moreover I would want to support the practice of physical releases where I retain control of the game over this PSN bullshit.

You would maintain even more control if you just pirated the release and cut Sony out entirely.

There are alternative ways to support your favorite devs/publishers that don't give money to Sony for repeatedly fucking the corpse of a platform they have intentionally destroyed.

>Most of their games are released on Sony platforms anyways and other platforms are just as jewish (Nintendo, Microsoft)

<they frequently just have no outs other than jumping to a hardware maker that has done dumb shit previously.

I covered that, good job reading.

If your goal is to support the developer/publisher you should also buy in a way that gives the least money to the entities you don't like involved with a release.

Currently the entities known to be shit are Sony, Sony US, Sony EU, and any (((localizers))). The ideal would currently be importing a second hand copy from Japan and pirating for your desired platform. Second best is buying new from Japan.

>In terms of the japanese release, that wouldn't be of very much use to me as I can't read nipponese

You aren't buying it to play it, you're buying it to support the devs. If all you wanted was to play the game pirating it would be all you had to do.

>Sony of Japan is jewish if you want to split hairs to this level anyways

You're entirely missing the point if you think the issue is jewishness and "splitting hairs".

Sony Japan didn't stop Omega Labyrinth Z from being published. Sony Japan didn't outright refuse to release most Vita games on gamecarts while the console was still current. Sony Japan didn't fuck up Western releases.

That was all Western faggotry.

>This will be probably the last game of note that (might) release on the Vita and i want it to come over so I can play and enjoy it without having to learn a new language over half a decade or longer and I don't want it to be a PS4 exclusive or only available on the Vita through PSN

Yeah the odds of that happening because of a fan campaign are nearly zero and the odds of it not being PS4 only in the West are even lower. Sony wants everybody to forget the Vita even existed. Western (((localizers))) are more than happy to oblige.

>>15282802

>SoJ is jewish

>using OneAngryGamer as a viable source for anything

This is a sensationalist journalism shithole with a community of outrage addict retards (with a dindu nuffin lover as admin). This is the same website that claimed that the West was responsible for the changes in the PS4 Yakuza 3, when there's been actually an anti-smoking campaign in Japan. Or blaming SJWs again for the Hokuten no Ken cover in US, when US game covers have always been marketed to not recognize any artistic merit since decades.

I'm also taking a huge grain of salt over that supposed interview, and consider if it's the translator's faggotery.

>>15284080

I'll download it and wait for a more updated version, but that's still nice.

>>15284329

You're being exceptionally obtuse. Anyone that was about ground zero regardless of OAG knows just what happened to Omega Labyrinth Z, and the final call was that it was Sony of Europe's QA department that exploited a loophole to get the game cancelled, with Sony of America following up and supporting that decision likewise, costing PQube time, money, and resources for a lovely set of blueballs. And, mind you, this is after the publisher passed both major regional ratings boards (M for the ESRB, 18 for PEGI). UK, Australia, and one other country threw a shitfit and it set back the release by two (three?) months. Then, SoE pulls that QA bullshit and forcefully cancels the release entirely (again, blueballing PQube and all the people that preordered).

You don't believe, just go ask their PR. Bottom line is that this is SoE and SoA's play, not SoJ. What is mere speculation is why they would pull such a move, especially since the game's content is no worse than titles they've already allowed to be published in Europe (Criminal Girls/CG2, Valkyrie Drive). The most-obvious answer at this late stage is politics, unless one of the exec officers at SoE is a cuck-guzzling shithead who hates titties AND loli.

Bottom line: I no longer feel the need to reward either branch with money for titles they have demonstrated the ability to deprive me of access to on short notice for no discernable, logical reason. Fuck both branches, I import and buy used. I'll mail a tip to the dev house if I feel the need to thank them directly.

>>15284080

>At least for 60$ games according to this source

Decent as a starting point but that doesn't cover digital games since they have no retail cut. Where does the extra $15+$7+$4 on digital goods go? Cutting out the retailer should reduce a game to $34 digitally but they're still $60.

Also if they're saying $4 of each disc is for printing/distribution that means a print run of 10,000 copies costs a dev/publisher somewhere near $40,000 assuming they don't make profit from that cut.

>I'm also wanting a physical,tangible product that I can play out of it (ideally a limited edition so I can get more stuff too)

You could reasonably get a JP limited edition that has more "stuff" and frequently it actually has MORE stuff than the US version and still allows you to play the game.

You could then buy a used copy of a release in whatever language you DO speak meaning you give less money to people you don't like.

>importing also gives money to extremely jewish middlemen even worse than retailers in the U.S.

>I bought an 18$ game on play-asia and I had to pay fucking 12 dollars for the shittiest and cheapest shipping option

Your biggest issues there are assuming importing is cheap and using play-asia. If you want to avoid play-asia and the like there are other services that allow you to ship to a JP address and they will reship to you.

Still more expensive than buying domestic releases but you have to choose how much you value principles over money.

>if it were only just about supporting the devs I could just find a way to donate money to them or something like that

Stop using the term "donation" when referring to supporting businesses. It's retarded. You're buying their product, not funding their street art.

>Can you show what Sony's cart manufacturing branch had anything to do with that?

Good thing I didn't say "give no money to Sony" and instead said "give the least amount of money you can to Sony and their branches".

Sony's cart manufacturing branch is, surprisingly, owned by Sony.

Importing a game from JP still shows that the game does have a market but that, for some reason, you are importing the game. Strangely enough, some companies care about the why.

What importing does not do is provide money to ports that may be shitty or give money to the earlier mentioned groups that are outright censoring video games they don't like. Sony EU/US, etc

>The only role Sony would have in this case is manufacturing the game cartridges as far as I'm aware, and the meagre pittance going to them is negligible enough for me not to care about such a thing.

You literally just linked a slide showing that Sony makes at least $11 from each physical game sold. They are considered the platform holder and they print games. Getting at least 1/6th of a game's price isn't exactly a pittance.

>Atlus is also still releasing games for the 3DS which is pretty much as dead in the water as the Vita thanks to the Switch; I'd say there's still a chance if games are still being released on retail for it

The difference is the 3DS had a successful run and had full support by Nintendo the entire time, it's only "dead" because Nintendo released its successor.

The Vita has been on life support in the West since launch.

I'd say the only chance it has coming West is digital only because the number of people that care about physical media has been going down for over twenty years and the Vita is even more niche than that.

>>15284925

>>15285718

>digital goods

That's not anything to do with what I'm talking about anon. I would assume more goes to Sony and the developers/publishers respectively (ironically enough) but digital distribution isn't something I would like to support. I consider it a bad practice, at least with the case of Sony having utter control over the PSN.

Anyways those numbers are rough standard numbers, as its stated in the article most of those numbers (in terms of expenses and payments out to platform owners and whatnot) can be brought down by cautious and calculated distribution, negotiating (such as exclusivity deals and/or publisher relationships with the platform owner), and so on.

>You could reasonably get a JP limited edition that has more "stuff" and frequently it actually has MORE stuff than the US version and still allows you to play the game.

You're right about the "more stuff" part, which would make it more worth than the U.S. edition but money is a limited resource and I would have to buy it new to support the developers. Not only that but while I can technically "play it", I wouldn't be able to understand any of the language or anything.

>Still more expensive than buying domestic releases but you have to choose how much you value principles over money.

You make a point there, but I'm not fucking rich. In terms of my principles versus the amount of money I would spend, if its too expensive and the other option is cheap but goes against my principles, I would choose neither. One thing most people do not think about when they buy physical games is how much money goes to Sony because its just not a thing most people think about for 3rd party games. I am one of those people to an extent. I don't have a problem with Sony of America manufacturing game cartridges whatsoever (in fact, that's one thing I would support heavily), and I don't have a problem with them allowing 13 Sentinels to be released. I have a problem with a recent example of censorship and some general jewry, which is largely unrelated to their manufacturing branch, and the money they get for existing as a platform is such a "passive" sort of thing that it barely goes under my radar. Assuming it is 15% distribution and royalties, I consider that to be small enough of a (partial) loss to not matter in the grand scheme of things.

I suppose what I'm saying is that it feels incredibly frustrating that I should be expected to pay (sometimes exponentially) more to import a game just so that that rough 15% goes to Sony of Japan instead, while the extra money I end up paying for goes to middlemen (who can upcharge incredibly), more hand changes, and really shitty shipping companies. I would be wasting much more money to avoid giving a fraction of the payment to one branch of the same overarching company.

>What importing does not do is provide money to ports that may be shitty or give money to the earlier mentioned groups that are outright censoring video games they don't like. Sony EU/US, etc.

I just doubt and can't imagine that the amount of money that Sony would get from me buying a physical copy of a vanillaware game published by Atlus would go directly into the CEO of Sony America or the censure's pockets, is the thing

>I'd say the only chance it has coming West is digital only because the number of people that care about physical media has been going down for over twenty years and the Vita is even more niche than that.

You make a strong point. I'm gonna hold out hope though and see what happens.

>>15287683

>money is a limited resource and I would have to buy it new to support the developers. Not only that but while I can technically "play it", I wouldn't be able to understand any of the language or anything.

Yes but you'd have to buy a US collector's edition new as well to support the developers. You also seem tied to the idea that you can't buy a game and then pirate it. You can and should do that, if possible.

It's the same game with the added benefit of having less ties to DRM and whoever else you don't like.

>I suppose what I'm saying is that it feels incredibly frustrating that I should be expected to pay (sometimes exponentially) more to import a game just so that that rough 15% goes to Sony of Japan instead

I understand your frustration but it isn't just money going to Sony Japan. It's also a copy that denies any potentially shitty localization efforts any money from the game while still supporting the developers.

While I feel I am probably in a minority that is worth up to 50% more if I particularly dislike somebody involved with a release that I want to play.

>the extra money I end up paying for goes to middlemen (who can upcharge incredibly), more hand changes, and really shitty shipping companies.

I get what you're saying. Any nonprofitable alternative would require a whole lot of international cooperation between citizens of Japan and other countries and I doubt any Japanese people care enough about foreigners to do something like that unless they're making a shitload of money.

>I just doubt and can't imagine that the amount of money that Sony would get from me buying a physical copy of a vanillaware game published by Atlus would go directly into the CEO of Sony America or the censure's pockets

It's not just the one copy you buy. It's the copies everybody similar to you buys and it works both ways.

>I'm gonna hold out hope though and see what happens.

Good luck.

>>15263855

Fuck. Can't figure out how to mod the resolution of US Mask of Deception.

Is the VITA even worth hacking? What games are worth getting? Can it run emulators well? What else can you do upon hacking?

>>15289654

If you like RPGs, dungeon crawlers, fan service games, indies, horror games and VNs and some rhythm games its worth

The other genres get less but there's still some decent stuff there

I'll explain more later

>>15289767

Are there any "/v/ approved" game charts like the ones available for 3DS? Really have no idea where to start. How well does it emulate other systems too?

>>15289790

You could probably start by reading the OP.

Stop looking to /v/ to tell you what you should like and dislike. There's a game chart at the top of the page that covers most of what games are on the system. Unless otherwise specified you can follow the general quality a company puts out for how shittily a game was fucked in localization.

The Vita emulates anything the PSP can emulate with certain Vita specific emulators that are slightly better or sidegrades due to having access to the Vita hardware. It also has decent PS1 emulation support through its PSP emulator/Retroarch.

>>15289790

It emulates Sony's and others old consoles like the Genesis and shit very well, PSP/PS1 shit should be perfect

Nintendo stuff requires looking more into the emulators in question and varies game to game, not as good unless you can find the right emulator on the right homebrew (for example gPSP kai for GBA games if the native Vita emulators aren't working for the game in question)

In terms of games there were several charts attempted to be made but a lot ended up being abandoned

The one in the OP isn't perfect but it can give you an idea of where to look; I'll recommend specific ones lwter

Anyone know how to properly apply the hyperdimension rebirth 3 patch for the vita? I did as instructed and put the patch file on ux0:tai/patch but all it showed was file corrupted. Also what does in mean to reload config.txt in henkaku settings? I just redownload henkaku again.

what should i do? i live in gilbert arizona if anyone here wants to buy. i'm broke and owe my mom money.

>>15315738

Craigslist sounds like an option I guess

>>15308528

its a pretty good game, actually makes use of the tactile screen before its a quick way to aim a critical special move in the heat of battle accurately. There are many weapons and classes that supports quite a wide range of playstyles and the skill system allows for a custom built character thats not tied to item progression.

What I really liked the most is the story, its long and nice without being too complex or convoluted and the characters are nicely fleshed out and honestly likeable, I wasnt expecting that from a monster hunter clone type game.

I,m in the middle of a 2nd playthrough and I've quite enjoyed myself so far.

>>15308119

Eh, not entirely true. I was able to take my US FFX-2 save file and use it with my Asian-English cartridge.

>>15315738

Craigslist, although I wish you had posted this a week or two ago. I recently picked up another Vita.

>>15319314

I wish a new, sleek handheld would come out already from someone

I love the vita but goddamn its been 7 years and 444 Mhz on 960x544p can only cut it for so long

>>15319349

That goes without saying

anyone who buys a product on release, especially hardware that relies on a library is a retard (unless the hardware is backwards compatible with a library you would want and is better in most ways, but still)

I imagine it wouldn't take long to hack it though, whoever its from

Maybe 1-3 years max

>>15319363

The library thing really goes without saying but it's more than just that. I just feel trapped if I have to use the thing in the way that I'm expected to. With how everyone locks their consoles down, it feels like I'm a prisoner on my own device. Back when PS3 was still new, things were more or less fine but it's gotten progressively worse over its lifetime. And now it's the fucking worst.

>I imagine it wouldn't take long to hack it

That's basically left up to random chance and whether hackers are able to stumble upon an exploit quickly or not. I am quiet satisfied with the Vita, it has some really nice games. Who knows if a new and upcoming handheld would be able to compete in the current climate.

>>15319399

>With how everyone locks their consoles down, it feels like I'm a prisoner on my own device.

This is true. Companies are trying to decrease customer power. Some people say the future is cloud-streaming vidya boxes and I hope to god that doesn't come true. However given enough time any hardware can be hacked and made into something good

I remember some fags saying a 3.65 hack would take 7+ years and now look at the state of the vita. Even though its approaching death as a handheld sadly (in terms of number of games being released), the amount of things and games you can play on it increases daily.

>Who knows if a new and upcoming handheld would be able to compete in the current climate.

The market is wide open to be honest. Both the Vita and 3DS are winding down and the Switch is a portable console (not a handheld) at such a high price point that much of the handheld market is reluctant to move to it. Its mainly the console market eating it up right now. If someone put out a good handheld for 110-170$ they would be able to take the market by storm assuming they have good games on launch and the company in question keeps up their support for it consistently.

>>15319497

>I remember some fags saying a 3.65 hack would take 7+ years and now look at the state of the vita.

that was being said because the people who did the 3.60 hack weren't working towards hacks for higher OFW.

It was hyperbole meant to mean

<you'll be waiting a while because we aren't working on it

not a signal of difficulty or effort required.

Seeing as the Vita had been out for nearly give years at that point and they were the only consumer usable jailbreak it wasn't that far outside the realm of possibility.

Even before that the PSM hack that was done was done by one of the people behind the 3.60 exploit.

>Some people say the future is cloud-streaming vidya boxes and I hope to god that doesn't come true

Nah. At least not for the next 10 years. You need much better infrastructure and higher capacity/speeds/better latency. Once we have that covered though, sure. Some publishers will try for sure.

>>15274284

I just beat it on hard and am now at the point where its mostly just grinding for levels and farming for underwear. I've enjoyed it so far as it plays a lot like playing Ranger in PSO with a few little improvements and substantially more enemies. My only major complaints are with the long load times for something so simple, and finding underwear in your collection with the abilities you want is a pain in the ass. Though it would greatly reduce the amount of farming, I think they should have just let you add any ability you own to your underwear so you can pick whatever you like most instead of trying to find that one piece in a box of lego. Also of note is how insanely strong shotguns are compared to everything else. As someone who loves shotguns, I have no problem with this, but it is kind of disappointing to have all these weapons and end up just using launcher, shotgun, stinger through the entire game.

>>15274624

It is entirely blasting away large numbers of enemies in small and simple maps, but at least the enemies are all fairly different and interesting to fight. Only the Asian version has English. You can touch freely, even in missions.

>>15322101

>even in missions

Wait, you can? Fuck, I know you can do it during the VN segments but I didn't even think to try during missions.

>>15308445

How about rayman, and little big planet?

>In BG2 you can touch enemy girls to distract them

I gotta try this next time I play. I love groping them all the time, it's weirdly satisfying watching their cute reactions or their body parts going 'boing', especially Merrina's nekomimi.

>>15322268

Was so preoccupied with finding the mod I forgot this, They're all on NPS. Just get the latest version and right click on the game to download the pack. Needs latest repatch (2.71). I'm on 3.65, first time running something with the compatibility pack and it's working just fine.

I'm replaying utawarerumono mask of deception. Which characters should I bench to make it more challenging?

I'm thinking fukboi, twins, and atui. Who else?

Whats a good rpg on the vita? i have P4G, all the monster hunter clones, all the ps1 classics and world of final fantasy.

But i want something to lose hours in like dragons dogma on the go.

>>15326677

Trails of cold steel and sky could hold you over for a while

>>15326175

>NPS Browser is Windows-only

It has an iOS version but yeah. That really sucks. I hear it does not play nice with Wine either. I can't imagine having to fall back to crap like PKGJ.

>Still prefer shooting the clothes off cute girls too but I expect there will be some opportunities

Yup. Also I did try to boing boing enemy girls but it either had no effect or I wasn't touching them right and it didn't register. It can be a bit tough to try not to die and do that at the same time.

>are there any other such decensor patches for BG2 or GGP

I don't know about BG2 but GGP has a nude mod, as in giving the girls nipples and vag. I thought it looked like shit. https://youtu.be/VnTWeHZA-5s

>I wish they'd divert some attention to making the games play well

I think it's less a case of them not wanting to divert attention as them wanting to keep the game simple. I heard people say it's really short and has next to no replayability, so maybe that's something they should have focused on as well. I do enjoy how they embrace the lewd but I also like the general cuteness of it all. It's a perfect mix of both and this is just what I need right now. Also elves.

>>15327558

Thankfully the AI isn't braindead in BGP, but it will break under pressure if enough enemies are active at once. Also some may go retarded on the village map for some reason, but otherwise everything works as intended.

>>15327657

I forgot they were retarded as well. There aren't too many missions where you fight girls and, as mentioned before, I mostly used rockets and shotguns which nearly instantly defeated them. Only on one mission did I get to see them go retarded and that was flat brown elf's extra mission before she officially joined the party, so had to use basic low level weapons.

>>15329716

I know this is kickstarter so backers have nearly negative recourse in seeking their money back but I can't help but wonder if they knew this might happen when they originally offered it for Vita.

If it was just an issue of physical games being discontinued they could have offered Vita digital+a physical on some other platform but they just got rid of the Vita version entirely.

The fact that they are no longer offering it at all may mean something slightly worse, like Sony not allowing new Vita games in the PSN store prior to their new projected launch date.

>>15329852

Sony are extremely greedy kikes but I expect the PSN to stay up for several more years with games continuing to be released on it (though at a much slower rate in 2019 and onwards) because

>they have complete control over it

>they get more money out of it

>its low cost to keep it up

>it requires barely any maintenance or effort on their part

I'm willing to bet them not releasing on the Vita more has to do with them wanting to cut costs or not put forth the time or effort, honestly.

>>15329861

I don't think they would outright take the Vita store entirely offline but they could easily just not allow new games to be released on the platform.

What's stopping them from telling people through devnet, with some sort of NDA attached, that they will not be adding new Vita games after x date?

>they get more money out of it

>its low cost to keep it up

>it requires barely any maintenance or effort on their part

You're forgetting how petty Sony really is. Both of their portables were attempts to push competing hardware standards rather than an actual attempt at a competing handheld.

They've been trying to kill the Vita since its release and it looks like ending physical cart production, regardless of how many were actually released physically worldwide, has finally pushed enough devs away that they can "safely" end the Vita store in a few years due to disuse.

>I'm willing to bet them not releasing on the Vita more has to do with them wanting to cut costs or not put forth the time or effort

That was the question I'm asking.

If they originally had plans to release on the Vita and the issue was development time not allowing physical copies I don't think most publishers would just cancel it outright unless they were already looking for an out.

I want to know if they knew they might not be able or want to make the Vita release before they announced the crowdfunding where they took people's money with promises of a Vita release.

>>15329716

Fuck it. I'm fucking done with Sony.

>>15330232

>The question remains as to why would they? There are no real reasons for them to do this for the entirety of 2018-19.

Presumably because they still have some form of contractual obligations as long as the hardware and it's storefront are considered to be in "active" support. That takes work hours and time away from other shit.

>Anything Vita related takes up barely any bandwidth and space in terms of server size (compounded by the fact that Vita games can only be 4 GB max). They've already announced the Vita's death physically, digitally they can just leave the corpse up to collect some cash for basically nothing.

It may seem like it isn't a huge investment but they're essentially required to maintain legacy infrastructure/store access for as long as the Vita storefront is active.

>Eh? I'm not sure what you mean by this

Both the PSP and the Vita although probably to a lesser extent with the Vita used formats that were supposed to compete with SD cards, both for licensing and control reasons.

Considering both consoles sold a respectable number of units and Sony still dropped support for them in the West I suspect they didn't care much about the consoles in regards to branching out into other hardware so much as they were trying to showcase a competing standard to pull people away from SD cards.

>Again though, digital releases should still be fine through 2019 at the very least.There's no real reason for Sony to care about this release whatsoever

I understand what you're saying however you can most likely visibly observe how rapidly releases began to drop when Sony announced the end of physical cartridges.

As much as corporations would like to claim for reasons of control, cheap storage, etc physical media is not dying for a rather specific die-hard demographic. That specific demographic probably also heavily overlapped with buyers of Vita games.

>This however, should answer your question to some extent.

I guess it's great that Vita support wasn't offered with intent to backtrack.

However, canceling the Vita release because they fell behind a few months seems off, like something not mentioned was included in their decision. I'm interested in knowing what caused them to cancel the Vita entirely rather than just say "digital only".

Time for some fucking Good news.

UPPERS! GOT TRANSLATED FOR THE VITA MOTHERFUCKERS, DLC INCLUDED TOO

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1ECTb6NI2PGfeEdKeFKhQ-stoZzFpm7RJ&export=download

I'm using NPS Browser and i noticed that some games are missing. Does someone have a list of those games? For example for the gundam breaker series there's just the chinese versions and it's missing the first one, marvel vs capcom 3 and others.

>>15333668

If it's missing it means it has not been contributed yet. Someone has first to buy the game on PSN in order to be able to put it on NPS.

As such, games with only a physical release won't be on NPS. For everything else, maybe it's on the NPS google sheet, otherwise I don't think there's a list.

>>15333668

I've recently contributed a bit by giving away a bunch of pkg links for japanese PS1 and PSP games mostly

you also need to give the zRIF code of the game in question in order for NoNpDRM to create the false keys

>>15333813

>>15333797

Thanks for the clarification. I'm trying to back up everything after the recent events. You never know.

>>15333821

Back up the pkg files like I did too, I'm nearing at 450GB, but you wont be able to unpack certain files on NPS Browser if the database doesnt have the zRIF code for those files

>>15333821

What recent events? The bloodstained thing? Sony won't disallow PSN downloads for Vita, just like they didn't with the PSP. And in case the worst comes to pass, I believe the dude running NPS has backed up everything anyway.

>>15333838

He means rom sites shutting down I'm pretty sure.

>>15333838

yeah like >>15333841 said. And also because i like have everything at reach, so even if i don't have access to internet connections for a long time, i can still choose from a library of games.

>>15333841

I don't get the panic. One shuts down, 3 new ones pop up. It only gets a bit less convenient for a bit.

>>15333852

For commercial roms sure, but i remember there were patched/translations or hacks that you could access easily, and it was convenient to have everything on one site. I had difficulty in tracking down a rom because a lot of sites turned to ad-infested shit, and a lot of links are dead.

>>15333889

This, a lot of custom and nice shit you can't really find anywhere else thanks to these sites shutting down

as an example, try finding an english ROM for Rondo of Blood for the PC engine

You'll likely have trouble

>>15337425

>I'd be more worried about Sony fixing their system to not allow arbitrary pkg downloads that work like that.

I don't think Sony cares enough about the Vita to actually do that. They didn't fix it for the PS3 either as far as I can tell.

It's more likely that they just release a new system update/token for the PSN store and call it a day.

I really wish Shade and Sandlot would get together to make GGP2. Just imagine, instead of fighting a handful of enemies in a sparsely decorated room, you could fight hundreds across an entire house, public park, or convenience store, and with co-op too! Sandlot's got a pretty good engine going so far for handling large numbers of enemies in large spaces with good AI and few bugs. All Shade's gotta do is license it and jam their lewd content all the way in.

How the fuck did this make it all the way to page 13 without me noticing?

Board must've been fast the past day or two

Since there is no emulation thread i though i'd ask here. How do you change disks one Retro arch psx1 emulator on the vita?

>>15353436

Why are you using PSX Retroarch at all? Why not play Eboots on Adrenaline?

>>15353470

Because i heard it had better compatibility. I haven't tried Adrenaline though.

>>15353485

Okay, thank you.

>>15353480

Using retroarch will give you better compatibility as you're no longer restricted by the PSP firmware, however you should only use retroarch in case that adrenaline does not work for that game, imo. Adrenaline does run on the internal PSP after all.

Is it worth it to download the psn version of ff6 for the vita? I've never really played much of final fantasy. Also gau seems like a tough character to utilize from what I've seen of the game.

>>15355591

>is it worth it to buy from the PSN

no, just pirate it

>>15355698

I am planning to pirate it but I know very little on what to expect and that gau looks complex.

>>15355715

Adrenaline is simple to install and easy to use, and you're fine as long as you use the official eboots, there are nearly 800 of them for the JP side alone. You'll need to create your own custom eboots only for really obscure games and (long-expired) licensed anime-based titles, but I recall the in-built POPS emulator generally do its job fine. I was able to run some old FMV point-and-click game as custom eboot on my PSP with little to no issues

>>15355761

I was referring to the game itself. I know how to emulate it. The problem is how should I use gau. He looks complicated.

>>15359269

>Golden Sun

Is it even possible to emulate that on the Vita port of Retroarch/mGBA? As far as I know Golden Sun is notoriously irritating to emulate properly.

>>15359793

mGBA nightlies should work fine.

>>15359808

I believe all the Camelot games on GBA were known as being rather difficult to emulate but I'm not positive.

I also recall them being fixed on PC emulators but I wasn't aware of their status on Vita as, last I checked, the PSP GBA emulator didn't like it too much. I presumed the Vita GBA emulator would have similar issues.

>>15359867

good to know.

>>15330273

Same here. I was really expecting that game for my Vita (didn't pledge to the Kikestarter though). Sony can fuck right off.

>>15355591

The PlayStation version has very long load time for battles. Probably better to emulate the GBA version? Not sure how well it'll run.

SNES version has bgm sound glitch via retroarch iirc.

>>15361064

>I'd consider more the Gameboy Classic and Color games

I only tried Pokemon Fire Red and it ran pretty much perfectly on mGBA, including sound. Was hoping other games would run just as good but I guess it can't be helped. That being said, the Vita really shines when emulating NES, SNES and Genesis.

>>15366223

And for that matter, if you get a PSTV and some friends :^), you could have your own arcade party.

>>15366243

Y-Yeah, I could totally do that, haha.

Does LOLIcon works/override oclock, or do i have to uninstall it first?

>>15366182

>>15366158

>>15368415

why is the 0.2.97.42 only 14gb while 0.2.97.39 is 29gb? Shouldn't the more recent one have more roms or is there another reason?

>>15373961

Your guess is as good as mine, anon.

>>15373961

I think your 0.2.97.39 is a non-merged version. There is a readme included in a non-merged copy of 0.2.97.39 I found, it states the following

>Using a Non-Merged set means that every .zip in this collection is a complete ROM that can be used stand-alone even if it is considered a "clone".

>Typically clones feature a different language or updates to the game software. Some clones are "bootleg" versions of a ROM – for example bootlegs that remove encryption that which makes the "parent" ROM unplayable. For these and other reasons, clones are sometimes the preferred version of a ROM.

>"Merged" and "Split" sets save drive space by consolidating the parts of the clone game that are identical to its parent into a more sophisticated zip container.

>The only benefit is saved space. On the other hand, not all emulators support Merged and Split sets. Those set formats are also more challenging to use to manually copy individual ROMs for use with an emulator rather than using the whole set.

>Non-Merged – such as this set – arranges all games, parents and clones, in their own stand-alone .zip files with all of the files needed to run the game.

I believe that is most likely the reason between the sizes.

>tfw about to import a limited edition of a game from EU since its out of stock in NA

>the shipping is half the cost of the game (20 EUR/24 bux)

Goddamn this is painful

As a related side note, Iffy's online store still has the limited and standard editions of Mary Skelter and MeiQ in stock, the limited editions are better prices than you'll get anywhere else (unless you get lucky on ebay which is questionable and scalping is still somehow incredibly rampant despite them still having limited editions in stock, hilariously enough), you support the developers and also fight scalpers by ensuring more copies enter into legitimate hands

https://nopaystation.com/vita/npsReleases/

I've gotten a larger microsd card and I want to move all my stuff from my card now to this larger one. After formatting this new card do I just need to drag and drop everything or are there more steps?

>>15386769

This is the only proper way to do it. Idk why you would rely on the shitty antenna in the vita to download shit.

>>15391167

I think you can but I'm actually going to be doing this myself in a few days. At least that's the plan. I think my 200GB one is showing age. Plus I used the wrong cluster size so I get the wrong free space issue.

Black bars, I tried the full screen with spyro and it just looked off.

So I've been replaying uta3, in English this time. The translation direction is completely different from uta2. What the hell happened. It's re-write tier. Adding tons of things that was not in Japanese.

>>15401753

>>15401843

Sounds like Atlus being Atlus.

>>15401753

>>15401843

once you're done with the game see if there's a difference in the credits for the translation team

>>15401893

>>15401753

Was going to suggest just using mobygames as they usually have credits listings, but no one's bothered transcribing them as of yet (only one that has a listing in the PS2 version of Utawarerumono). So I'd also say it would be of interest to know if there were differences between the translators, editors, and who comprised the localization management between the games.

>>15399833

Are you using the micro SD card as uma0: or ux0: ?

>>15405817

Is this any good? I was thinking it looks interesting and was wondering whether to download it for the vita or pc.

>>15406192

A lot of people liked it, its considered a pretty unique, kinda weird and unusual game

I can't speak to how good it is myself as I just got my copy today; I'll be playing it after Odin Sphere and/or Yomawari, myself.

Since this isn't too far off from 350 posts, OP/hackanon here. For a month, I will at best be sporadically on here, but possibly not at all, so I'm counting on other anons to make sure this gets archived and such. On the flip side, I'll be playing a lot more Vita in that time.

Right now, I'm still playing Danganronpas, but mainly PS4 and 4 Goddesses Online.

>>15405759

ux0: and copying itself was done from the old one in my Vita through VitaShell, to the SD card in my laptop. Then I took the thing apart to swap them out. It works, even the legitimate PSN stuff.

>>15406192

>>15407911

Will keep that in mind, thanks for the heads up

How are you enjoying danganronpa?

>>15407911

Neat. I get my card today, so it's good to hear that it's easy to make the switch. Copying 64GB of shit is going to take a while, though.

Any RTS games on PSP or vita?

>>15419045

Get SD2Vita. If you get a new MC you're going to have to find a way to put Vitashell back on it (like via QCMA). With the SD card you can just copy everything over from your MC.

>>15419799

Gotcha, is there a preferable more durable model of it or will any one do the trick?

>>15419893

Can't go wrong with V5…is what I'd like to say but the failure rate is quiet high with any of them. So if you order from overseas and expect long shipping times I'd get at least two just in case.

>>15419893

SD2Vitas can have very slightly different sizes, which can be an issue on a Slim model (not on an OLED one however). I own two different versions, and the black one with red letters wont completely fit inside a Vita Slim as the cache of the game slot will just bend. The white sd2vita (a latter model) fit better inside the Slim but I do remember it was a bitch to get the sd out from that adapter.

In terms of durability, they seem fine at a first stance, but considering my experience with the memory duo adapters back with the PSP, I'd advise to not manipulate them too much.

>>15421568

Well you shouldn't be messing with an SD2Vita anyway because they aren't designed for hot-swapping. At least it's possible to copy most cartridge games over to SD.

>>15409225

Well 1 and 2 are games I've played once or twice already, so yes? UDG as well though I don't recommend it. V3 is proving kind of meh, just finished chapter 2. Nooooo, maid.

>>15422017

>At least it's possible to copy most cartridge games over to SD

What do you mean, "most"? As far as I know all games work.

>>15422025

I'm pretty sure that failed when I tried to do it with Touch My Katamari, which is one of the few games that has a writable cartridge, and it's used for save data. It's possible I did it wrong. Also sub "most" for "almost all" since carts with writable partition are quite few.

>>15422033

Did you rip it yourself? Might be you did it wrong but I wouldn't know. Touch my Katamari is on NPS anyway and it should work perfectly on that version.

>>15413249

I've had no luck with getting it to work. Either my adapter is faulty, or I formatted the card wrong. I followed the guide, though. Has anyone had a problem with the 2.0 SD2Vita? It's the one that isn't in a plastic case and has the smiley face on the back. My vita won't read it. When I remove the adapter and boot up, my Vita will give me the "There was a problem loading: 3" error. With the SD2Vita in the system, it just stays frozen at the enso screen. Windows and Ubuntu can read my Micro SD, and the content are all there. Not sure what the deal is.

>>15422188

99% sure it's a busted adapter, or not seated properly. I think those old PCB adapters were really iffy when it came to making proper contact. Just one or two of the newer ones.

>"There was a problem loading: 3" error

Wait, isn't that from the lolicon plugin? Did you use autoplugin to install shit without learning how everything works or what it even does? Do I have to explain to you why that's retarded?

>>15427147

Meh. I have one because i couldn't find any other l2 r2 grips for my vita 1000 and i found it relatively cheap. While the grip feels cheap, the vita feels very "secured" in it, so pushing buttons and the l2/r2 triggers are ok. You won't feel it wobble all over the place. Since it also covers the front plate, the cover is on the same level of the buttons, making them cave in under your thumb. It'll feel awkard at first but you'll get use to it. Same for the bulky feeling when you have it in your hands: Personally i like it, but you might feel different about it. The l2 and r2 are actioned through simple springs, looks and feels kinda cheap at first glance, but do their work fine, never had a problem until now.

>tl;dr

If easily reachable buttons are a huge deal, and you don't plan on playing ps1 games, you might want to keep looking around.

If you don't care, like the sturdiness feeling in your hand, and need those extra buttons, sure.

I have it right next to me if you want some picture on how it looks with it

>I have it right next to me if you want some picture on how it looks with it

>>15427569

Damn, this looks cheap as fuck. Barely worth the 20 bucks they ask for it.

>>15427598

>>15427683

Happy to help. It feels cheap, but i got it cheap (not 22$ like in the picture, jesus) so i didn't expect anything big to begin with. As i said, the only reason to buy it is for physical buttons. If you're looking for just a grip or stand there are far better (and cheaper) options.

>>15422225

>Wait, isn't that from the lolicon plugin?

No idea. I installed both at the same time. Not sure why it would be, as lolicon doesn't require anything but the plugin itself being activated in the config.

Because that's what lolicon does on the live area if you put it under *ALL

>It snaps into place like a regular cartridge.

Well if it's obviously not the one, then it's the other.

That's not a PSTV, it's the USB streaming plugin. I can't get it to work ;_;

plug psv in

start obs studio

under sources, press +

choose video capture source

Device - PSVita

The device can't mount properly for some reason. I already submitted bug reports and everything, even the dev is at a loss why it just does not work for some people.

Just realized Autoplugin doesn't actually automatically update the plugins that are already previously installed.

Is there an easier way to keep my plugins up to date than going through the list and try to select everything I have installed after every update?

What happens when you try to turn on usb mode in vitashell with the usb video plugin loaded? (It should give you an error.)

>It should give you an error

It should not. That has been patched a while ago. If you're asking me to confirm whether the plugin worked, it did without a shadow of a doubt. Vita shows up as a webcam device in windows but it's inactive, everything is working like it should except for the fact that it can't be accessed.

You did it wrong, then. Probably forgot to replace license file with the fake license.
