Gay.

I have 2 sd2vita adpaters, one of the shitty 50c v1 designs from ebay and a newer, higher quality one. Every time I try to install the sd2vita driver, it never seems to work properly. I have the other plugins and my taihen config is in ur0, but I have never gotten either adapter to set up properly, it doesn't recognize it and asks to format the card. Is it some specific issue with original model systems, or am I just a mega-retard? Could both of my adapters be defective?

>>16414101

Subtract a month from the wait.

>>16414441

Right now, all I can ask is for your taiHEN config to be put on Pastebin, or somewhere to validate, and if it's actually seeing the adapter as needing formatting, and not the internal storage.

>>16414441

Back up and reformat your card.

Are there any minis worth getting or are they all hipster indieshit?

>>16415006

The fuck are minis?

>>16415134

Think he means "Playstation Mini" classed games.

>>16414752

SD2Vita helps alleviate the memory card issue, but consumes the game card slot to use. Whether or not you consider that a problem depends on if you even plan to get physical copies of games.

>>16414752

Vita's one of the easier systems to break, and doing that will fix basically everything wrong with it. But whether you should get one at all depends on what games you are actually interested in playing.

Do new Vita updates actually fix anything at this point or is it all just exploit patches like the 3DS?

Maybe this is a retarded question to ask, but let's say I know some shithead cunt who spilled his rootbeer and alcohol on my vita and the buttons got sticky, what's the best way to go about cleaning em back to a nice and clicky state?

>>16414857

How easy is SD2Vita to use? Do I gotta install a bunch of plug-ins to get it working? I noticed that VitaShell has an option to use the gamecard as UX:// and assumed it worked the same as using a USB on the PS TV, boot the system, go into Vitashell, insert the USB, then mount it as UX://

>>16416689

Use isopropyl alcohol to clean electronics, such as the contacts under buttons if need be. 99% if possible. Never listen to anyone who tells you to use shit like Windex.

At least its not the anon who let his vita-tan get raped and cannibalized to death by a roving horde of ants.

>>16416842

He sounds autistic.

>>16416839

The one time I invite someone over to my house they bring this shit Not your Uncle's rootbeer or some crap, gets drunk and he fucking spills it all over the goddamn place, went through all the cans he'd brought somehow only managed to drink maybe two cans of the shit, I had to fucking clean the carpets in 3 rooms of the house, dude pissed in my shower and I can't kick the guy out, he's too goddamn drunk to drive.

I've had to clean that stupid shit he had to bought out of so much of my shit.

Fuck people

Fuck alcoholics

>>16416832

>>16416873

Yes, it worked, and thank you.

>>16416857

Oh shit, I thought he just commissioned porn of Vita-tan getting all that. This is much worse.

>>16417296

Can't go wrong with anything made by Raising/Eighting.

>>16417383

I don't see why they wouldn't, but I have been disappointed before.

>think Vita must have better SNES emulators than the PSP did

>nope.avi

>>16417474

Aside from some sound issues here and there I haven’t seen much issue, but I haven’t played through many snes games. Are there other issues with snes games?

Q: How are the first run OLED screens holding up for those who have them?

>>16417598

A few more of those weird “oil spots” you can see when the screen goes dark, but all and all mines doing pretty good.

>>16417567

I've heard that a lot of things don't play at full speed, like Mario All-Stars.

>>16418189

>>16417474

I generally go with the 2005 core by default on Retroarch, but for the few games that fail a bit to run at full speed (like Mario RPG), I just switch to the 2002 core.

>>16414020

>Image 3

>Recommending Necrodancer

Silverstring Media had a hand in that. Any of you fags who recommend or worse, support that game financially are contributing to the cancer infecting vidya.

>>16417598

Like the other anon mentioned my screen is fine other than when the screen is black, then I see small spots in one corner.

>>16418409

Handy to know. Sounds like I'll be able to get a lot of use out of it yet.

>>16418579

Its very unlikely that anyone will actually buy that game in the first place. Its (((PSN))) only and only retards who haven't hacked their vitas would do that and they're hopeless to begin with.Physicals are the only thing worth buying

>>16420404

Take the Sony memory card out because I'm pretty sure the system falls back onto it if it's present.

>>16414441

>>16420404

Taihen config looks good. Did you clone contents from original MC to the SD with all files including hidden and hidden system files? And yes, it's also possible both adapters are DOA. I went through 3 before I found one that worked. Btw. Restore/Renpdrm are obsolete now. Just spoofing is enough.

>>16420804

Does not. Not with vanilla gamesd, anyway.

>>16420292

>Physicals are the only thing worth buying

I'd argue there isnt much a point anymore, since the sd adapter takes up the game card slot (just like a R4 card for DS). The whole point of buying physicals on Vita was fueled by the precious and expensive storage.

I used to own a large collection of imported physicals, but I'm sacrificing nearly all of them in order to contribute in sharing from the JP PSN store though since that's more of a niche thing than sharing EU/US stuff vita DLCs, PS1 classics, and PSP eboots. I still do keep physical releases of games that either got delisted from the PSN store or physical-only releases (like the 2-in-1 cards, such as EU Rayman Collection, Sly1&2 and Chaos Head Dual)

>>16421077

>from the JP PSN store

Keep doing God's work, anon. Getting Japanese games is prohibitively expensive in this hellhole I'm living in, I appreciate it a lot.

>>16421077

I got a 16 GB vita proprietary card free with my vita when I bought it, with an 8 GB one sitting around so I never bothered with an SD card adapter

Good on you for sharing anon. I know I wouldn't be able to part with any of my collection, save for the few shitty games in it

I hope you didn't sell off anything you were too attached to. What import are you most attached with, or proud of for getting or having?

>>16421096

Doesnt help that you can only buy JP stuff off their store with a prepaid card that only Play-Asia does reliably and fast, but at a much higher converted rate (5000円 for 48 eurobucks, 10k円 for 94€) than what it should be.

It's too bad that DLCs rarely go on sale there because some games are filled with them to the brink, especially Koei Tecmo musou games or the lewd games like Dream Club Zero, Estival Versus, Reco Love, etc

>>16421112

I wasnt too attached of my physicals to be honest, except EDF2 (one EU and two JP physicals from a dual pack) and EDF3 Portable, but that's mostly because I'm a big fan of this serie. There is a JP limited edition of htol#NiQ I might consider to keep too because I like the cute girl with antlers. Her game was okay albeit a bit frustrating at times.

But the lack of manuals in nearly all cases (with the mere exception of Little Busters, EDF, and Marvelous/Experience games) and the amount of patches that games may require, didnt bring in Vita physicals a lot of value for me otherwise.

>>16421141

>It's too bad that DLCs rarely go on sale there

Yeah, I'm with you on this one. Japanese DLC's are rather underrepresented on NPS but I'm confident it's only a matter of time. The maintainer eventually will start hunting those down too. I hope.

>Little Busters

How's that on Vita anyway? It would be neat if the baseball minigame were its own thing. I'd pay for it.

>>16421147

I'm trying, within my budget, to lower the amount of JP games with missing (or an incomplete listing of) DLCs so that others could focus on what's remaining afterwards.

>How's that on Vita anyway? It would be neat if the baseball minigame were its own thing. I'd pay for it.

It's a pretty good version (touchscreen is available for everything including minigames), but I sure dont remember any baseball mode available in the main menu however. It's also one of the early Vita releases, which mean the cartridge has its own save slot.

I recall the PSP version was english-patched (which is very similar to the Vita version) and there were pics going around of an official english translation on Vita that went absolutely nowhere

>>16421265

>I sure dont remember any baseball mode available in the main menu however

Didn't expect it but I still had to ask. Don't know about the PSP version but I believe that translation kickstarter might have had the Vita version as a goal or something, not too sure since I have not really been following it. My friend got it on steam but they did the same CG cropping thing as with Muv Luv. At least LB got a fanpatch to fix that but the new engine also lacks some features that make it inferior to the original.

>>16421077

>but I'm sacrificing nearly all of them in order to contribute in sharing

Why would that require sacrificing them?

Also are you saying that there aren't many Japanese games dumped? What's the point of hacking my Vita then?

>>16421600

There are many Japanese dumps but there's even more Japanese games on it, especially lots and lots of kusoge VN ports. So while there is a sizeable amount of games available, Japanese region is behind, especially on DLC, unlike US/EU which has most games and their respective DLC dumped on one region or the other.

>>16421616

Oh I don't really care about VN ports. Are all the major games dumped at least?

>>16421600

>Why would that require sacrificing them?

Because I dont see much the point in keeping lot of cartridges if they're no longer being used as intended. Why would I deny myself from getting a large sum of money, by selling them, that could be used to contribute things?

>>16421623

>Are all the major games dumped at least?

There are several missing left, such as the Nobunaga games, JP Dariusburst, Sengoku Musou 2 Empires HD, etc

>>16421623

I have no way of knowing what constitutes a "major game" for you. How about you install NPS browser and check if the games you want are available?

>>16421690

>I have no way of knowing what constitutes a "major game" for you.

Exclusives.

>>16421045

I've tried copying all the files to the SD, using either gamesd or stragemgr/switch sd2vita, and I've formatted the SD card with both win32diskimager and rufus. At this point I'm about to resign myself to 8gb of storage forever, because I'm not willing to try my luck buying another adapter.

>>16422651

Do you enjoy twisting knives into my gut anon?

That's what you're doing.

>>16422651

Didnt 13 Sentinels end up being a VN anyway? I cant say I've been looking forward to it because of development hell and showing zero gameplay from the very start the project was announced.

Now if you really want to rub salt in the wound, no Super Robot Wars T on Vita is the greatest shame even if I more or less expected that outcome

>>16422737

Nobody knows what it is yet

>>16424052

Which games are you looking to get currently anon?

>>16424052

Huh, I never knew it got a Cero Z rating. C;H Noah must be really damn lewd.

>>16424052

Depends entirely on where you live. Where I'm usually at, selection isn't entirely bad, though varies widely on the store (and most is still just copies of western shit no Vita owner particularly wants, like uncharted, assassin's creed, and little deviants), and trying to encounter various limited print only games is a crapshoot (but I have seen some). Visiting some family right now though, and there's just fucking nothing here. This part of the state seems to be absolute shit for games anyhow; just two Fucking Gamestops, a number of pawn/picker places with next to no vidya let alone worthwhile Vita games, and the nearest town with something more than a Gamestop is a good hour by freeway (and that one's the only one in said town). Kind of odd lack of vidya here, especially older games, for what I'd consider a hipster state, but I suppose maybe they're more relegated to the bigger cities, whereas this part I'm staying in is a good three or so hours out. Did find a cart of Avalon Code for the DS for $10 in checking a store before leaving the town I'd flown into though. Place had nothing of interest for the Vita, or most systems though. In short though, I appreciate where I live when it comes to vidya and such, as I can even find niche stuff, and not even at horrible prices if luck's on my side, and sadly not everywhere is like that. For places like this, I suppose it'd be a case of having to put up with the trade off of higher prices for a wider net in online purchases, if one didn't CFW the system and just pirate away at this point.

>>16424066

>>16424233

Near my gaymestop there was a lot of stop, most of the anime-eqse games ran for 15-20 dollars, while western stuff was running for ten. I will most likely stick to importing, ebay and play asia when I run my local area dry :^). And, yes I do pirate, but I'd like to have some phsyical copies of games Ive played and liked. I was never too big into collecting for collecting sake, but I dont mind buying games if they are cheap. Games I'm focusing on getting are anything I can get my hands on around this time. Tax refunds are coming soon, and the vita stuff is likely to go up in price due to recent interest. The news about 3.70 and production ending do that, but modoru helps assuage the costs.

>>16424079

it's actually just a blood thing

>>16422055

Oh! Check that you have nothing in ux0:tai/ because that's another possible issue if there's a config file there. But beyond that try a minimal config (this is valid for 3.60, certain lines aren't necessary with 3.65) and make sure all the plug-ins are actually in ur0:tai and named correctly. I sometimes shorten mine. In the worst case it may be a defective SD adapter. They're not as reliable as PSVSD but anything is better than using the official cards.

>>16424079

CERO Z is much more about violence, and possibly covers darker adult sexual themes too, but actual nudity is already a hard-no with CERO anything. CERO Z is also, notably, the only CERO rating with legal restrictions on purchase in that you must be 18 or over, and also online you can only buy such games with proof-of-age such as credit card. Yes that means CERO D which covers plenty of naughty stuff doesn't have hard selling restrictions. I'd assume most shops would voluntarily refuse to sell these to minors but there's no obligation that they do.

>>16424052

Local EB Games shops usually have a couple of mainstream Vita titles. But there's another local shop that actually has a shelf for them, mostly EU copies but a few are US imports. As far as my foreign games I've imported just one, and the rest are digital with the gift card hack-around.

>>16424721

Oh my mistake CERO D is legally restricted for sale but in the same way MA15 is in Australia in that parents can waive it.

>>16424052

I have a NoNpDRM dump of the Chaos;Head dual release, if you want it

Man, this handheld feels so good to hold when compared to the Switch. Sony fucked up with the marketing.

>>16424434

>>16424721

So it's just the original game but on consoles, now I get it. I must have confused it with the fanservice game.

>>16424923

It's on NPS seperately, so I'm fine. I may stake out a physical release in the coming weeks.

I mentioned gamestop before, Danganropa V3 and Hakuouki are both 18 bucks new somewhere on gamestop. I tried searching for where but no luck in my area, so there's the information for anyone interested.

>>16425837

If it has english voices maybe its that?

>>16425837

Why would you get the English version if you already have the Japanese version?

>>16425936

It may be because of the retarded way vita handles patches. Nothing gets replaced, but rather put in different folders with a changed load order. All the bad code they patched is still there on your card, unused and bloating up space.

I know for a fact that you can delete one file from akibastrip2's main folder after you patch it, and can thereby save one gig of space because the system doesn't read that specific file any more, because it has a replacement in the patch folder.

You could probably experiment more with this to save space.

In bed sick and i finished the last of my switch and 3ds games so splurged a little on a bunch of cheap digital vita titles. I got:

>FFVI

>Metal Gear Solid

>Armoured Core: Last Raven

>Yss VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana

>Tomb Raider

>Resident Evil 3: Nemesis

>Resistance Retribution

>Resistance Burning Skies

>Metal Gear Solid 2/3 HD

>Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention

>Criminal Girls 2: Party Favours

Finally filled my 64gb card. Still a few titles on the store i want to get like Strangers Wrath HD and a few PSone titles i dont have like arc the lad but its strange to see that i have almost every title on the Vita PSN store i'll ever want. Thats a wierd convenience in the age of digital handheld vidya.

How’s the vita handle N64 emulation?

>>16428378

Let me let you in on a little secret: i dont care, i just dont care

>>16428381

Whats it like having no standards?

>>16428381

People like you are actually much worse than people who support censorship because they don't know any better. Shame on you.

Been playing A Rose in the Twilight lately. Janky feeling in terms of movement and platforming, but I like its aesthetic and atmosphere, and the puzzle stuff seems to be getting more complex. I'm up to the courtyard. This is actually a game I've been sitting on for a while due to it being originally Japanese-only (on 3.60 at least) and not being able to read a particular clue about needing to absorb enough blood memories to make progress.

>>16425984

It's not retarded as long as you don't need to make huge updates and the majority of those should be DLC. It only mostly breaks down with unofficial mods, and only when the game itself doesn't have ways to look for alternate files like SKSV. Also while you can delete the originals, it's a bad idea unless you're really pressed for space. At least back them up to PC first.

>>16425837

On that note see if it's incompetent devs at play, and see if ux0:patch/PCSE01318 has any big files in it, and if so, if they're duplicates of ones in ux0:app/PCSE01318 I am curious whether this applies to the Japanese version too since I see the English one isn't updated. Maybe it's all the remaster content?

>>16428373

I believe it's improving, but the standards of open source N64 emulation have been mediocre for ages, and that's all you can use as basis for console/handheld ports.

>>16428373

Don't put your hopes on that guy who said he was going to make a vita version of Dx64. He doesn't know how to use make. Dx64 through PSP is just barely passable for some games, decent for a small selection. None of the rare games i've tried work well, and really nothing past 1998 does either. N64fags are lucky they have something decent, the vita's spiritual dad, the saturn, has a nonworking retroarch core.

>>16428381

>>16428365

>I bought censored games

Why didn't you pirate them you faggot?

Might be time for you to go back to cuckchan, you're a drone with no self-control.

Can I import my ratchet and clank save to the ps3? Using the touchpad for strafing fucking sucks.

>>16428844

The vita version doesn't have cross-save sadly.

Also I plan on sharing all the DLCs of the JP Neptunia games (mainline games + Sega Hard Girls + U) as well as Gun Gun Pixies.

The current problem is that beta nopaystation has been recently facing issues in the contribution page, which kinda feel premature to lock down the google spread sheet when something like this happens in the end. Hopefully this gets fixed fast

>>16429158

>>16428976

>Saturn

The RetroArch core is based on Yabause anyway, which again, is the only option and it's kind of bad. For PC Mednafen looks to be the new good option but it's too CPU-intensive for handhelds.

>game sharing

Just testing
	Indentation works (if this does you can just copy-paste the bits into a code block here for now if you want and w. TSV = tab-separated values.

But yeah https://beta.nopaystation.com/ is currently down.

Ended up picking up a new copy of Fate Extella The Umbral Star, as well as used HyperNoir , and US Akiba's Strip. I consider the Fate games on vita to all be something I wouldn't be interested in, but since I got it physically, I might give it a try now. Pretty cool to get an actual new vita game with the manual and everything.

>>16435125

I had a feeling what it was trying to say, now after looking it up and reading that description I can say this is immediately one of the worst games on the system.

>>16435154

>>16416573

If you're looking for a deep & complicated one, no. Point-blank.

If you're looking for some casual fun, lewds, and (I believe) Engrish, then yeah snatch it.

If you want to encourage IFI to get the sequel games, then buy it on Switch

>Buy

Yes fuckers I said it what of it?

>>16416689

Isopropyl, highest proof you can get (via Walgreens or something), and cloth that doesn't leave residue or dingleberries (AVOID rough rags & toilet paper). Do NOT use Windex on electronics. The shit leaves a sticky film and WILL fuck up electronics.

>>16435280

>what of it?

When did buying non-NISA IF games become a bad thing?

>>16435288

compile heart games* I forgot that IF just published that one.

>>16435288

Knee-jerk since I haven't been here in months since the threads essentially went full pirate/howdoipriate. Also, Compile Heart = Idea Factory—same teams, even though it's under two company names.

>>16435288

Sony censorship. Though it's not generally an issue to buy used regardless of game. If it's to share on NPS that's a valid sacrifice, and LEs are less of an issue too.

>>16435294

>a Noire game needing more Blanc

Well Blanc wishes she got something halfway decent. IF's game is nice, and while not technically Vert's, 4GO clearly had a lot of love put into it even if it plays somewhat bad.

>>16435300

I used to buyfag despite all the pushiness to jailbreaking, like maybe 80-90% of my games are owned. But again, Sony censorship made that a regret, even if it ultimately hasn't tainted Vita.

Also again, the main issue is that the system's largely EoL without many new games, and there isn't a lot you can't say that hasn't already been. Plus, at least we sometimes do do game talk. If you're feeling down on 8chan go look at Fireden's archives of 4/vg/ Vitagen. Those feelings will vanish.

>>16435317

>I used to buyfag despite all the pushiness to jailbreaking, like maybe 80-90% of my games are owned. But again, Sony censorship made that a regret, even if it ultimately hasn't tainted Vita.

Yeah. I used to be hardcore against it myself—any little bit to help devs out & maybe get hardware execs to pull their heads from their asses. I always suspected it was never so easy but I figured at least devs deserved rewards for their hard work at minimum. The situation turned out to be exactly that.

The execs don't give a rat's ass and dance to wherever popular opinion sways, the investors give even less of a fuck so long as their check comes in at quarter three, and devs have to take it in the ass while the first two split up their customer base over people who barely buy or play games. On top of what you mentioned (less of an EoL, and more of a deliberate cutting of an artificial life support), as well as Switch itself slowly gaining the Vita library…well, I still obviously play my Vita, and will continue to do so. I'm beyond attempting to support or garner support for shitheads, though.

I maintain though that most the devs don't deserve this fallout. None of this shitstorm is their fault, and it shouldn't be their responsibility. Fortunate that they're all eyeballing the Switch even more.

>>16435300

>Also, Compile Heart = Idea Factory

That was dumb mistake on my part then.

>>16435317

Supporting sony's censorship is awful I agree, but if the switch version that anon mentioned isn't fucked I think that's a new chance for that series to gain a new platform that won't censor them. Maybe even a place for CH's other games to not be censored as well.

>>16435363

>I maintain though that most the devs don't deserve this fallout.

Obviously, but the only way to send a message is to stop buying Playstation games.

>>16435300

That's just /v/ in general, not this thread in particular. I've been a huge Vita buyfag in the past, and while I continue to buy off from the (JP) PSN, it's for piracy sharing firstmost.

>>16435368

I'd be wary about hailing Nintendo and the Switch as the savior platform for jap games, since I still have vivid memories of the 3DS/WiiU days. The root of the policy problem didnt exactly come from Sony itself but more from the current state of america and its politics, and nonetheless there is the threat of every large business wanting a part of the chingchong pie these days.

Also while it sucks to get hit by censorship, I cant honestly say I look forward to more lewd games on other platforms, if it means they get shitload of DLCs like it was the case on Vita (D3 Publisher, Kadokawa and Marvelous took a guilty pleasure in doing this). And DLCs are hard to gather for sharing.

>>16435294

>>16435154

Ive looking for a nep game that wasn't the main 3, and I like Noire, so I get a nice excuse either way. By the way, the back of the box calls gamindustri "gamarket". I played the RB games with translation patches, so I never encountered this. Is that what its really called in the post RB1 translations.

>>16435750

For me, the Switch is not a nice transition from the Vita(this is related mostly to issues I have with the hardware). As far as I've observed, their censorship applies to anything they develop or coproduce. Shin Megami Tensei: Tokyo Mirage Sessions being a big case of this.

>>16435798

Even the original nep called it gamindustry. That just sounds like anotehr piece of QUALITY localization.

>>16435798

Stolen from Nepgen.

>I've heard of bad translations in the Neptunia games, care to tell me more about it?

Translation Statuses are:

HDN, HDN Mk2 and Victory: NISA cancer.

Re;Birth 1 and V-II: Translation is alright, no worries from these ones.

Re;Birth 2: Not obviously bad at the start, but gets much worse as it goes along: in particular Neptune and Ram were screwed hard during localization. However, there is a Re;Translation made on our very own board (see above links).

Re;Birth 3: Better than the original NISA translation in Victory but still quite a lot of cancer. Main game has been retranslated, translators still required to translate DLC content.

All of the spin-offs: Varying translation quality. These range from cancer to mediocre. Recent releases have been somewhat better overall.

That said the rule of thumb is to at least have Japanese voices. Even a hopeless like me can pick up on errors.

Trinity exploit is out for those who still don't have one, enjoy the jewed up prices of used Vitas i guess.

I've been gone for close to two months. Is the firmware downgrade confirmed 100% safe for 3.68 users? My Vita has been in perpetual hibernation in the meantime while I've been loving this hacked 3DS. Looking to change that soon.

>>16440315

Yep, just make sure to deactivate all plugin magic beforehand. As long as you follow instructions it's a cinch to do.

>>16440342

Does doing this have any adverse affects on your PSN account? I don't want to get banned from PS3/PS4.

>>16440356

If you're really worried make a seperate account. Sony however hasn't banned anyone, to my knowledge, for simply playing nonpdrm games with a homebrewed vita. They only ban for cheating and achievement programs.

>>16440356

If it means anything I've still got my Japanese PSN account, and has accidentally done one or two things that could be considered red flags.

>>16440518

VitaShell gives you file access if you press "Select" either over FTP or USB. But downgrading is covered in vita.hacks.guide also. Follow that.

>>16440422

TheFloW is Swiss, and I am expecting a 3.71 Stability™ soon-ish. They will be looking into this.

>>16440529

Thanks, I got it.

>>16440529

The interesting thing is, TheFlow said this will be his last work for the Playstation Vita. Sony will very likely put effort this time, since there is a supply of physical carts out there in the hands of publishers. It is limited, and will run out, but it would be low effort since Sony knows what the vuln is.

I do have a question, for going forward. Could someone transfer a psp game to someone else's vita, and then run the exploit that way? I haven't ever tried CMA between my two vitas before.

>>16440665

>The interesting thing is, TheFlow said this will be his last work for the Playstation Vita.

He probably said that with thinking that the Vita no longer in production worldwide = no more gaems thus no more firmwares. I mean sure, the window release for the system is becoming more and more a desert, but the japanese users are still getting a baseball simulation from Konami and the sequel of Coven & Labyrinth from Nippon Ichi Software. JP PSN sometimes release new PS1 Classics titles, although I doubt this triggers new firmware versions.

I wouldnt take hacking devs word for granted either.

Also I should ask if there is any plans to pirate (or "preserve") the official PocketStation plugin for Vita. Some JP PS1 Classics make use of it (MGS Integral, IQ Final, R4 Ridge Racer for instance) and a few of those games only work on Vita livearea not Adrenaline. It's probably far too niche for hack devs to give a shit but doesnt hurt to ask.

Decided to rollback my 3.68 firmware to 3.60 and it was safely executed. Also noticed that my factory firmware version is 3.50, so I am now hoping that this handheld lasts for at least a decade.

>>16440865

Aye, reason being I have a couple of friends with 3.70 vita, but they aren't in the know too well. I told them to sit with their psp game downloaded, but I want to know just in case they didnt download the psp game if I could find a way.

Has anyone blown up their Vita from using the max OC settings in LOLIcon yet? All the guides have warned about the overclocking risks, but I do wonder if anyone has actually damaged their system by running the CPU clock at 500mhz.

>>16441149

I've never even heard of PocketStation until now. If it's something you can install to your system then it's probably fine, even if you can't use it in Adrenaline. Speaking of which, NPS beta is back up.

https://beta.nopaystation.com/contribute

>>16441955

I don't know of any, but the fact is, while it technically can be pushed to 500/333, no official game does it, and it's likely that they aren't supposed to. Personally I'm happy on 444/333 with most games and that is intended. Obviously any high forced scaling will hurt the battery life.

>>16441608

If you're worried, make it 100% clear to them that if they aren't listening to the PSA from the fucking hack's author that it's their fault if they can't hack their systems. There is still time before 3.71 but the PSN dependency is why there was that window, because it's absolutely possible they'll break access to older systems and fix the exploit.

>>16441955

No, unless you live somewhere very hot and your Vita is giving you the overheat warning daily. I'm guessing you didn't even know that it had a notification for overheating in which case you should be perfectly fine. 500MHz by itself isn't enough to cause any damage. Using it along with wifi, Bluetooth, screen at max brightness and maybe USB streaming might become one but who does all of those things at the same time?

Turns out it's a remake, which also has the final version of Stranger of Sword City built-in as a 2-in-1 release

SD2Vita is reads fine. 249GB available, 242 Free. I can't open any homebrew, though. I get a C1-2758-2 error. Should I just reformat my card or something?

>>16447589

Apparently it corresponds to EINVAL (Invalid argument) but more generally searching it turns up issues related to Adrenaline, or where you may have to either rebuild the database from safe mode, or format it. Try first rebooting the system though sometimes even on mine I get little annoyances like that.

>>16447256

Never knew a warning existed. I very rarely even go past the halfway point in screen brightness on this Vita Slim and bluetooth is disabled, so I am guessing I should be perfectly fine using the 500mhz clock on games that need it.

Is there a reason to use comp packs when you can just spoof the firmware version through henkaku now?

>>16448051

Thanks anon.

So I hacked my Vita and now I want to hack my PSTV, can I just transfer over the same PSP exploit from before or do I have to do it again specifically for the PSTV?

>>16448743

If the PSTV is registered to the same PSN account, CMA will recognize your modified PSP game, so you can copy it right away.

>>16448797

Cool, thanks.

Oh I think I see what happened, I copied the whole folder from my Vita to my PSTV, not realizing that this boot_config.txt is not supposed to be copied to another system. Fuck, is there any way to access the PSTV memory without being able to use the controller?

>>16448968

You shouldn't have shared config files between those two systems…

You'll probably need to enter recovery mode to reset everything to default and then start again.

my screen has some weird pixel distortions on the left side, like a couple verticle lines, usually notice it running emulators.

The image is fine until a character walks through the section, then it looks like he's moving through water or a clown mirror, gets slightly distorted.

wtf?

>>16449014

If you haven't downgraded yet, the psn activation probably poofed out, so set it up again quickly so you can use Trinity again.

>>16449062

Glad to hear it, anon. Remember that PSTV has some differences that you can take advantage of - starting with that nice little USB-A port you can use for storage. If you're wondering how you can sync your controllers if you got a flash drive there, simply either:

1) turn off system fully, pull out usb and plug controller in, sync, turn off again and put usb drive back

or 2) use a pairing tool in your PC to pair the controller with the corresponding MAC address so that you don't need to reboot the PSTV

You can also get an USB hub, alternatively.

Aside from that, make sure to get the whitelist working.

>>16449075

Oh I didn't even think about using the USB port to move data. I was just copying it to the memory card on my Vita via USB and then putting the memory card in the PSTV.

Also something else weird happened on both my Vita and PSTV. I noticed when I downgraded to 2.60 that Trinity and all my other PSP games disappeared. They still show up in the content manager but the bubbles are gone. Any idea how to get them back?

I see that the PS1 Spyro and Crash games have NPS uploads. Would those work copied straight over to a CFWed Vita, or do you have to go through some workarounds since both series were removed from the Vita's whitelist for PS1 games prior?

>>16449050

Had that happen before on my PSP with stuff like GBAtemp. Usually just affects certain areas, and the background can chug trying to keep up when the player moves. Especially if there's other visual effects going on as well. Usually resolves once you stop moving (for the duration), or get out of the area/room. But that's assuming we're even talking about the same thing.

>>16449086

You probably need to refresh LiveArea (vitashell options). If that doesn't work, use CMA to transfer to the PC and back - that should regenerate your bubbles.

>>16448012

>spoof firmware through henkaku

You mean with reF00D right? Anyway you get faster boot times with compatibility packs, but the difference is minuscule, we're talking 3 seconds tops, not worth the 50 or so megabytes the compatibility pack will end up taking.

>>16449120

Download from NPS and put them on your Vita, it doesn't matter whether a game has been removed from the store or not, you can still play it.

>>16449133

Cool, thanks.

>>16449131

>You probably need to refresh LiveArea (vitashell options).

I don't see that option.

>>16449177

Oh wait, it's not in the main options menu. Hit Triangle instead, it should be in the menu where the 'copy, move, delete' commands are.

>>16449193

That didn't do anything. I even tried the license refresh thing too.

How does one add PSP games to a CFW Vita anyway? Is it as easy as copying the isos over like with a CFW PSP?

>>16449210

Strange. CMA the titles and see if that helps.

As for PSP games, if you use adrenaline, then yes. Simply copy isos or csos to the relevant games folder of your adrenaline setup.

Otherwise, you can install 'classic' PSP games with pkgj.

Adrenaline is the better choice. It has additional screen filters, also savestates.

>>16449401

That makes sense, the PS Vita, even when using official stuff off the PSN, is readable by Adrenaline normally.

>>16449615

Also, should I downgrade as low as possible, or is there reason to stop at 3.65, for example?

sage for double-post

>>16449120

You can play games that never even released on PSN. It's just that compatibility isn't 100% guaranteed for those. Like 99% of PSP games should work though, PS1 has a couple incompatible games but chances are you'll never encounter them.

>>16449742

PS1 incompatibilities are more related to unofficial eboots running on POPS. I've met so far those issues more in western games (like Heart of Darkness or Bugs Bunny Lost in Time) than jap releases. Since the Vita's PSP module works differently from a real PSP, you cant use POPSLoader to shift to another emulator version.

The sole PS1 Classic on JP PSN I found that isnt officially supported on Vita (for a reason unknown) is Noel Not Digital, which I recently shared on NPS (alongside of Noel 3) for completion's sake.

>>16449615

You follow vita.hacks.guide for all the initial stuff. Then mine for the things they don't cover like overclocking and piracy, but give that a sec since I'm updating and streamlining it at the moment.

>>16449884

Thanks, I've gotten the ball rolling somewhat now. I've done this kind of thing a few times now so I know where to look more or less. The big problem was thinking that I could transfer modoru's vpk using qcma and fumbling around like an idiot before realizing that VitaShell wasn't just a file browser.

Is the vita version of Terraria decent? Looks like it goes up to version 1.2.4.1

Got everything running but now the dlc for breakers 3 won't install off pkgj

>>16450004

So being the brainlet that I am, what should I do to move from 3.65 enso to 3.70? Assuming that it's the only way to play the newer games that is.

>>16450894

read >>16448051

There is zero point in upgrading your firmware, and it's been several months this plugin has been released

>>16450910

baste and hackpilled

>>16450938

Seriously if you cannot figure it out from the READ THIS FIRST part, then I question whether you should risk doing the jailbreak. It's not hard, but at the same time, not idiot-friendly.

>>16450998

And if you read my post you'll realize that my vita has been hacked for a while, I just check in on these threads once in a while to stay up to date in case I need to do something to keep my shit.

No translation projects for Moero Crystal, Genkai Tokki Seven Pirates, or Dungeon Travelers 2-2 is absolute suffering.

Enso warns that the changes made by it are permanent. I'm sure it's safe and all, but would I not be able to return the Vita to stock settings after activating Enso? Is it definitely worth any potential risks?

>>16451188

Just learn Japanese you nigger.

>>16451266

I can't even master my current second language, yet alone my primary. You think my dumb ass can learn a third?

>>16451290

Just dump the first and the second, then.

>>16451264

>Unmodded Vitas are TRASH.

Mine is modded. I thought Enso just automatically reapplied HENkaku or whatever after reboot. Without it I could do it manually, right?

>>16451290

/jlt/ here, what's your first and second language? It might help to know how similar they are to Japanese.

>>16452252

Start over by restoring vita to factory setup with recovery mode.

Remember that Trinity should only be used to immediately downgrade to 3.60 or 3.65 in order to use more permanent hacks. Clock's ticking - once Sony pushes a new update that blocks psn access it'll be too late.

In short:

>if 3.69/3.70, Trinity to downgrade

>once downgraded, henkaku in order to set up enso

>>16452295

From what I understand you only need to download the entry point to use Trinity.

>>16452295

>>16452301

Already did that, didn't work.

>>16452306

If the Vita is already paired to a psn account, no update will screw you over, yeah. However, resetting a Vita with recovery wipes that.

>>16452311

Strange. What system version are you on right now?

>>16452252

You fucked up, wipe everything and start over.

>>16452329

3.70

>>16452350

Restoring to factory is basically reinstalling the same firmware and wiping shit out, so it should work normally after that. Reading your procedure again:

>I correctly installed trinity and proceed to put henkaku and Vitashell on the system, It worked.Then tried to install vpks on it.

Sounds like you're not downgrading yet. The only vpk you should be installing while on 3.70 is modoru (trinity gets you HENkaku and Vitashell from its execution already).

The modoru readme mentions disabling your plugins and rebooting (steps 3 and 4), but you don't need to do this since you're on 3.70 with no plugins. What you need to do is:

>get Trinity running, have it install HENkaku w/ vitashell

>enable unsafe homebrew option in settings->henkaku settings

>download modoru, ftp it to vita, install it

>get the PUP you want copied to the memcard via ftp or vitashell USB

<(previous two steps in this order, because if you install modoru after copying the PUP, it'll be deleted)

>use modoru to downgrade

Then you can follow a 3.60 or 3.65 guide to get enso up and running.

>>16452399

I already tried downloading modoru, but the same error that appears with other vpks appear here when trying to install it.

>>16452252

Don't have a solution, but I will say that the Vita has been a bigger pain in the ass than the other systems I've modded. I believe in you anon.

This was too much effort for something I'm just going to load up with games and never touch again.

>>16452457

I didn't really have any problems. Early 3DS modding was worse, with the emunand shit.

Too bad the Vita has hardly any games worth playing though, I'm just going to use mine to replace my CFW PSP, since the Vita screen is better.

>>16452485

This. Also, I've heard that you can only downgrade as far as the factory firmware on a PS Vita, it could be anon has a factory firmware higher than can be hacked.

>>16452399

>>16452457

Ok, i feel stupid now but it worked!

apparently FTP the vpk file fixed the problem and no error appear. I have no idea why transfer it with usb would make the error pop up. But who cares it worked! Thanks anons.

>>16452524

Ohhhh fuck, you're right. For some godforsaken reason, sometimes files don't get copied correctly. I've had it happen with FTP more than with usb, however. Seems you got it opposite in your case.

>>16452457

Vita is really straightforward, to be honest… At least now. Switch on the other hand is laid with e-fuses (still got a nice fusée-able model thankfully), 3DS had several stages of basic meh exploits to full control (and a big dose of shitty scene drama to add on that)…

The early days of vita hacks were cumbersome, though. Remember the email read/write hack? lol

>>16452517

The very last batches of Vitas have a factory firmware higher than 3.65, so while they are hackable, they don't get the handy coldboot enso exploit. If you get one of these, I'd recommend keeping it as a 'legit' system, or sell it to get another one.

My factory firmware is 1.61, currently at 3.65, will downgrading to 3.60 matter or is it recommended

>>16452630

If you're already on 3.65 there's no particular issues with staying on it since it supports enso. Downgrading to 3.60 should let you use the browser exploit again in the scenario that something gets fucked up, so it's mostly a judgment call on your part.

>>16452647

so it won't make a difference? I'll still have compatibility with games, so I guess I'll leave it. I could downgrade it later if I wanted to sell my vita.

>>16450854

Download break edition, it contains the base game, all the DLC and a new final boss.

>>16452556

I went through most of the 3DS stuff. Gateway wasn't too hard to do, but all of the major jailbreaks between it and sighax were a clusterfuck, especially A9LH, and prior to that you had to be careful as far as updating and using eShop and such. It's ironic that despite the much tighter security that most of the Vita stuff has been pretty streamlined. Trinity's about as annoying as it's gotten.

>>16452630

I explicitly say it isn't worth it but not why. Supposedly one or two plug-ins don't work but also if you need to set up the jailbreak again, you need a PC with 3.65, whereas 3.60 can use the web browser. But your 1GB internal storage or official memory card should have the necessary recovery tools to begin with.

>>16451331

You do not want to do it manually with any alternative storage.

>>16452485

>Too bad the Vita has hardly any games worth playing though

heresy

>>16452836

The online Gundam Breaker 3 asia english is rather dead compared to the JP version which was a bit more active in my memories. Just like the situation with EDF2 Portable.

I didn't read properly and updated to 3.70 without reading about the bit about the "h-encore" thing, did I just fuck it up?

>>16453313

I had the thought about why don't we actually try to organize some online play, but as I understand it you have to link to people on PSN with your username, on top of region lock-out (assumption) and also different region ping, I'd probably be horrible.

>>16453337

https://vita.hacks.guide immédiatement.

>>16453347

This is annoying can I leave it for now?

>>16453392

Im a complete retard I dont get this stuff

I gave up on [Open a terminal in the folder]

Maybe I'll try to figure how to do that tomorrow or never

>>16453392

Every time there's a major exploit retards who just jump in without taking the five minutes to read a guide or watch a tutorial flood in.

If you're too stupid to follow written instructions, perhaps you should not attempt to hack your Vita. Just food for thought.

>>16453135

I'm suprised to this day that the 3DS now has a working coldboot full control exploit. As of the start of the Switch's lifespan, I thought all hope would've been lost for it. Good to see it was hacked anyways, but the drama was the real clusterfuck.

For the illiterates that joined us, RTFM and learn to shift click in explorer. If vitashell dissapears after you downgrade to 3.60, what worked for me was going to the Henkaku website holding R1. That will get you Molecularshell again which then you can install vitashell with.

Random fag who was stupid enough to buy a vita with 3.69 FW so he could only jailbreak his vita a few days ago here.

Since I hacked my vita, when I turn it on from standby it sometimes throws an error about memory card was removed and it has to reboot (I didn't remove the card, obviously). This never happened before. Any idea why could it do this? It seems to happen more often when I leave my vita in standby for a few hours, but once it happened after 5 seconds, so that's not the only thing.

Second, sometimes after a reboot, apps (almost everything other than the built-in vita apps) start throwing C1-2741-4 errors on startup and refuse to start. Only rebooting fixes the issue.

>>16453412

>>16453400

Another shortcut is to hold ctrl+shift, then right click over the folder you want to use, selecting "Open Command Prompt here".

>>16454278

Funniest thing of all is that it's not even a "tricky stuff to do on boot time exploit", but actually taking advantage of a factory designed (for testing purposes I guess) feature that allows booting a DS card with help of a magnet…

From that point onwards, full absolute control is achieved. Thanks, Ninty.

It did take all those generations of old hacks in order to disassemble the bootrom and find that hidden feature, however. It was a long way until we got to this point

>>16455053

That's weird. Clean contacts just in case, and get everything off the memcard that you value. Then reformat it.

>>16455053

If you have an SD2VITA, it sounds like a faulty adapter, if it's the vanilla memory card, it's probably dying.

>>16455198

The funny thing is, I reformatted it a few days ago (it wasn't a good idea) and I think the card removed errors started to pop up since it.

I have a second, smaller card, is there a good way to move my stuff there? My biggest problem is that vita places everything on ux0:, so if I remove my card I have no vitashell or anything, and it's a pain in the ass to start from the beginning.

>>16455360

My sd2vita is somewhere between China and my country, so it's a vanilla card. I really hope it survives until the sd2vita arrives…

>>16451371

English first, Spanish second. Tried Mandarin as a third and I couldn't even get that to stick whatsoever.

>>16456183

So just give up on useless Spanish.

>>16456432

Sucks that there's no physical, but still

FUCK SONY

The shift of the weebgames has started.

>>16456086

You should be able to back up and restore Vitashell and your exploit game through QCMA.

>>16456586

Get a switch then, the future looks bleak for soyny and kikesoft, i don't even see myself picking up a PS4 once every normalnigger starts dumping theirs on pawnshops because outside FotNS lost paradise, GuP dream tank match, yakuza 6 and gravity rush 2 it has no fucking games, i don't like the controller either.

>>16456626

They stepped up their ante, however. Thankfully Nvidia fucked up with the Tegra, enabling the RCM hack. Make sure you get a Switch that is vulnerable, check the serial number when you buy.

Just to make sure, are PSP games downloaded from PKGj not supposed to create bubbles and only be accessible through Adrenaline?

>>16456820

By default, yes. You can use an option to do bubble installs, if you wish.

From pkgj's instructions:

I want to install PSP games as EBOOT file.
Installing PSP games as EBOOT files is possible. It allows to install games faster and make them take less space. However, you will need to install the npdrm_free plugin to make them work.

To install PSP games as EBOOT files, just add the following line to your config:

install_psp_as_pbp 1
If you want to switch back to the other mode, simply remove the line. Writing 0 is not sufficient.

Any faggot tried Blood on Vita yet? Only just found out it has a page up on Github and no fucker has mentioned it anywhere.

>>16456834

I see. I saw that on the github, but didn't realize the correlation with bubbles. Does that mean Vita games are also installed as eboots, or is that exclusive to PSP games? I'm not familiar with Vita homebrew file formats yet.

>>16456489

>>16456548

>sony censors everything in the JP region

Cant say I believe that crap after playing said recent JP titles, but I know it's more a shitposting meme at this point. Just like it's quite delusional to see any significant shift when the userbases are already established.

>>16456086

>it's a pain in the ass to start from the beginning

That's why you downgrade to 3.60. Starting from the beginning = hitting install on a website and you're good to go.

>>16456586

Just wait for the PC port.

>>16456957

>There's been multiple complaints about SD2Vita lately

>mfw literally just got one today and transferring 100 GB of PSP games to it

Fuck.

Any news on Vita3K yet?

>>16456183

I find Romance languages to be much harder than Japanese, but then my first language isn't English.

You can learn Japanese, but don't bother mastering it since it'll take too much of your time. Aim for intermediate level first. Spend around 15 minutes reading novels while looking up vocabularies everyday. With enough motivation you'll be reading VNs without strain in 4 years.

>>16457123

That article assumes the students are studying at least 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. Unless you're a student or a NEET, you wouldn't have that much time to spend learning Japanese.

Should I get Vita or Switch, anons?

>>16456834

>eboots PSP games take up less space

BRB, redownloading my PSP games.

>>16457643

You're asking this in a Vita General.

Probably depends on what games you want to play.

>>16457643

How long is a piece of string? Get which ones have the games you want to play, if any. Also consider 3DS which is an excellent and better-rounded handheld than either. Always jailbreak too it opens up so many good things.

>>16456619

I tried to restore a backup a few days ago, it formatted my card and bailed out with an error. So I ended up copying back my stuff through vitashell and ftp…

>>16456995

I'm on 3.60, but I still have to install the shitloads of apps back manually.

>>16456957

As I said previously, I don't have an sd2vita yet, and I've disabled all storage plugins in the config, but it doesn't help.

>>16457697

>You're asking this in a Vita General.

I couldn't find a more appropriate thread and figured it wasn't worth making one just for that question

>Probably depends on what games you want to play.

>>16457716

>Get which ones have the games you want to play, if any.

I'm into the weebshit and as far as I understand, both consoles are good options for that. Is Switch jailbroken yet? And how does jailbreaking work on Vita? How do you avoid getting bricked or banned, because of online?

Already have 3DS but haven't jailbroken it yet

>>16457613

Neither of them.

>>16457694

PSP in eboot format also have access to digital manuals. It's still weird that the pirated PS1 eboots dont have that access too despite using the same tool. I know there is a plugin out there that dumps the manual pages as jpeg files into your Vita/Adrenaline, but that's not the same thing.

>>16457643

Consider a Switch if you want to play jap games in english without dealing with current Sony America. I still value the Vita to be superior in library, especially if you can into moonrunes + PSP/PS1 offerings, and in size factor although there are claims of new hardware revisions, one being more focused on the "handheld" part rather than the hybrid thing

>>16457820

Switch and Vita hacking development is at different steps. Switch requires entering RCM mode and checking if your model is exploitable. Vita is hackable with all models but requires certain downloaded titles and an activated vita, which could lock people out if sony decides to send out an update to access the PS store.

>>16457882

Well, fuck, I guess. The bigger problem is, now even after I removed the memcard, content manager refuses to connect to qcma (no error messages, just couldn't connect, like if qcma is not running on my computer. I see no notifications from qcma either).

Is it time for a factory reset, or do you have any idea what other things should I try to do?

Oh for whatever reason, I'm going through V3 again, but also had to start over and skim the first chapter again after a save bug where it would just pop an error message on saving, possibly from having too many at once. Not sure. About to continue that.

>>16457907

I have seen USB connection for VitaShell and QCMA affected by the video streaming plug-in a couple of times, but otherwise try connecting over Wi-Fi or maybe i just needs to be re-paired. Both connection types work with QCMA.

>>16456982

You forgot to post your censorship apologist image.

>>16458127

nigga i'm not going to bother debating all that hysteria although its rightfully deserved against Sony California as much as the shitpost can get annoying. But I suggest you to go elsewhere if you have a problem with being pointed to some truths too.

I paid for doujins (Mitarashi Kousei, Horitomo and else) and console VNs before all that, so I'm also willing to compromise with certain forms of censorship. Not the modernist foreign kind that decides how the japs should behave in fictional though.

>>16457050

It might help me if I end up dating a girl that speaks only Japanese, as a situation like that gets you to learn a new language quickly. At least the phonetics of Japanese is quite similar to Spanish.

For the Mary Skelter 2 reveal, it's a damn shame that there is no physical limited edition coming out.

>>16458587

Why even bother with games that are already dumped?

>>16458587

I'm down for anything Gundam or mecha related that isn't already available in English.

>>16458598

I mean sure, the PSP games were already dumped in ISO files that you can find anywhere, but NPS lets you give the choice between converting the games as CSO (heavier compression method) or in eboot format (the latter is officially supported by the console, costs less space than ISO but not as much as a CSO file, and digital manual support as long as you use the npdrm plugin on adrenaline)

Were any of the vita’s Touhou games particularly good or fun?

>>16458587

>asuka 120

my negro

I cant think of anything else on the japanese market at the moment.

>>16458628

niether, Genso warrior was an average japanese rougelike, had nothing going for it aside from voice acted cutscenes

The rest are 3D brawlers and a very substandard metroidvania game.

I was able to set up the necessary plugins and configurations to install PSP games as EBOOT (from PKGj), but I'm not getting any bubbles. Is there another step that I'm missing?

>>16459028

I don't see any point in installing them as Vita bubbles, just use Adrenaline.

>>16458587

>I still have about 30k yen to spend, so if any of you fags have a particular request in DLCs, or other PS1+PSP games I could share.

Idolm@ster DLCs, either the PSP games (Im@s SP) or One for All.

Please.

>>16459544

Cool, downloading now. I really liked it as a kid and didn’t want to be disappointed if it aged like milk.

>>16459554

Most PS1 games aged well imo.

>>16459530

Reminds me, was there ever an actually given reason for while Brave Fencer Musashi never got a digital rerelease in the west? I mean, obviously I wouldn't recommend giving Sony or Square money for it at this point if they had, but it's just something that's always struck me as odd, given the game seemed to have really good reception here and supposedly sold pretty well back in the day (I'd wager the FFVIII demo disc helped a bit) even if it didn't get a Greatest Hits reprint. And I know in Japan they got a rerelease, along with SaGa Frontier 1 and 2 (which likewise are absent from western PSNs). Maybe the voice acting and whatever rights or licensing is involved kept it off ours?

>>16458587

Some DLC poses for RecoLove would be nice.

>>16458598

Network of trust. With No-Intro there is a distinction between undumped (no ROM), unverified (someone has released a ROM), and verified (multiple people have reproduced the same ROM). This requires the game copying standard to be good, which is not true with trash like MaiDumpTool, but once a good standard is set, it falls to independent verification.

>>16458628

I was surprised console Touhou games were allowed to exist in the first place. But I know there's dodgy localization.

Some updates, looks like moving my shit to the other memory card fixed the random card removed/program startup issues. But now I'm stuck with a 8GB card until my sd2vita arrives…

>>16458587

I'd say 神次元アイドル ネプテューヌＰＰ I want to know whether it's really as bad as they say it, but I'd have to learn nip properly before it, so it's not urgent.

>>16457859

I want the PSP eboots to show up in LiveArea. Will I need the bubble creator for that? If so, I'll have to undergo a little project.

Also realized that PS1/P games not on PSN won't be available, so this isn't quite perfect. Still nice to have, though.

>>16459530

>How has Brave Fencer Musashi aged?

Generally speaking, I think this is a dumb question to ask, but the game is worth trying out. I think you can determine whether you like playing it or not.

>>16459929

>reasons for no digital release

Probably licensing or Square not giving enough of a fuck.

Are the extra missions on Toukiden 2 part of the DLC armor sets or is it like Monster Hunter where you have to go through the games menus to get them?

>>16461596

Also, is it worth playing Kiwami first? I noticed that wasn’t on the list.

>>16460340

>>16459550

>>16458606

Here's the list so far of what I plan to buy and share on NPS soon, more likely around Wednesday or Thursday

>all the action poses DLCs for the Reco Love games (6804 yen for the 21 dlcs)

>all the Photo Kano Kiss DLCs (a good whooping 9685 yen) with the exception of a swimsuit DLC I cant have access

>Kidou Senshi Gundam: Ghiren no Yabou - Axis no Kyoui V (2880 yen)

>another PSP Gundam game in the selection (2880 yen a piece): Battle Universe, Assault Survive or Gundam VS Gundam Next Plus (no idea whichever is good and should be given priority, and VS Next Plus isnt officially supported on Vita but should run fine on Adrenaline like the Tears of Tiara games)

The Idolmaster SP DLCs are nearly all locked down for me, dunno if they can be purchased after first getting the full games which are already uploaded on NPS.

>>16459028

Be sure you have this plugin installed for PSP eboots https://github.com/qwikrazor87/npdrm_free

seplugins folder should be in ux0:pspemu but otherwise treat the process more or less like you would do with a real PSP

>>16461454

I know it's possible to link through custom bubbles the PSP and PS1 games from Adrenaline. Dont ask me how to do it exactly tho, as I just directly use Adrenaline

>>16461454

I use Adrenaline Bubbles Manager for that. However it's a bit overkill if you just want bubbles.

>>16461864

Great job, can't wait to try the Ghiren's Greed games. I believe Battle Universe is considered the superior between it and Assault Survive, while Next Plus is the best 2v2 Gundam game on the platform.

>>16461993

The bubble manager allows one to make a shortcut that can be simple or over the top, which is something I like. One guy can just quickly make a bubble while another can go all out and make custom screens and such to make it authentic.

>>16461864

>Photokano and RecoLove DLC

Thanks a lot, anon. I didn't expect anyone to buy those any time soon so it's a real treat.

>>16459953

I forget, did Brave Fencer Musashi actually give proper crediting to the voice cast beyond just the most prominent characters, or is most of it guess work? Asking since I know with Tales of Eternia for the PS1, only Reid's English voice actor (Kevin Miller) was ever given a confirmed identity in terms of the western cast, and likewise it's a game that never saw a PSN rerelease (albeit worldwide this time; no PS1 Tales was digitally released even in Japan, though two of the three have updated versions elsewhere anyhow).

>>16461454

>Square not giving enough of a fuck.

I could well see it happening, but it would still surprise me considering they've put Threads of Fate up, and I kind of doubt that sold as well as Musashi the first go around (to compare then-original IPs that didn't get a Greatest Hits print).

were God Eater 2 or 3 any good?

>>16462791

or should I go for Soul Sacrifice?

>>16462791

>>16462827

What do you mean? Just pirate all of them and give them a shot yourself.

>>16462835

I don't have that much space on my vita and it's a pain deleting and transferring games over at this point, so if the God Eater games are shit I figure I'll pass on them. I've heard mostly negative things about them but they look neat.

I have the sd2vita adaptor, I'm trying to load up my modules from ux0, but things like shellbat and lolicon are not loading up, but nonpdrm does, when I restart. Should I be doing it from ur0 instead?

*KERNEL

ux0:tai/pngshot.suprx

>>16463233

Yes. Also why is it loading henkaku after download enabler? This is really messy and your load order is all over the place. I suggest you redo it properly on ur0.

>>16463233

Yeah there's a lot wrong here. Specific suggestions:

- You cannot use multiple storage plug-ins! If you actually have USB storage and SD2Vita, you need to use storagemgr which can mount multiple devices, but that's not very useful anyway since only ux0: is used for Vita games. You can only tell Adrenaline to look on a different partition.

- Move all plug-ins to ur0:tai/ (except Adrenaline of course) and fix their paths.

- Comment out kuio.skprx it's not used for anything you've shown there.

- Move download_enabler.suprx to last.

Also can someone post a 3.65 config? I need to clarify a few details because it's different to 3.60. As far as I know you need this extra on 3.60 but not 3.65?

Have a link to the page?

>>16464022

Presumably this. Might add it to the list, and also apparently the main guide has Trinity covered now.

https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/NBlood-Vita

So this is just a question out of mild curiosity, but is there any way to circumvent those few Vita games with the "Online activation codes"? If the servers for those games even work in the first place of course.

>>16435288

Nobody wants to give Sony any money at this point, even if they're just manufacturing the carts. Maybe it's a bit too much, personally i just want to get the few games i want that are left in the pipeline before they become retardedly expensive and unobtainable, but i sure as hell won't purchase another Sony product after that.

>>16465008

>>16465140

Sounds pretty good, I'll have to get the English translated version. Strikes me as a little odd that it was done so quickly.

>>16462791

2 is kind of iffy but 3 is good.

>>16463669

>>16463754

I went ahead and removed them from ux0 to ur0, moved downloadenabler down, and rebooted, but shellbat still isn't loading.

>>16465008

I thought about adding this one. Should I? I can probably tease a description out on my own this time around.

>>16468896

Post your new config in full, given you didn't state that you addressed the really critical error. Note there are code tags too. <code></code> but with square brackets not angle brackets.

That looks right except that you should comment out all the VSH stuff since you're using LOLIcon. If that doesn't fix it maybe just re-download plug-ins and make sure they're named correctly. Also you're missing reF00D which is the new hotness against firmware requirements.

>>16461864

>The Idolmaster SP DLCs are nearly all locked down for me

Shame, but thanks for buying the other DLCs

>>16465008

>also made the Kenka Banchou series

Off topic, but here's a warning to other anons.

Completed the first game on PS2 in 4 days, the only entertaining thing in it were the somewhat realistic depiction of suburban Japanese.

>>16470212

Seconding this. Everything looks fine otherwise.

>>16471284

Good luck. Basara Chronicle Heroes had some potential, but generally got overshadowed by it's big brother Gundam Vs.

>>16471404

it was currently on sale in the PSN for 300yen. Thought it would have been a waste to not take up the occasion

Also NPSv3 is being a little shit again that prevents me to upload what I've bought, hopefully this gets fixed again soon.

>>16471807

What's the difference between Reco Love and Photo Kano? I've only played a bit of Photo Kano and got tired of all the photo sessions. I'd rather play Amagami

>>16414020

Those girls aren't even attractive.

Seems like the more down the weeb rabbit hole you go, the more they desire homlier looking girls. Is this an accurate observation, weebs?

should I give up for now

Nevermind about the problem of uploading Vita DLCs, it works. All the Photo Kano Kiss DLCs are getting uploaded, and the Reco Love ones will follow suit

But for some reason, it refuses for PSP games

>>16474725

Just play the PC version instead of trying to fix the already butchered console version.

>>16475138

>Anyone here try Dream C Club Zero Portable?

I think I bought it once when it was on sale but I never played it.

>>16475337

>I just found a psarc extractor on filetrip

That's the one.

>The fact the two games have about 45k yen worth of DLCs in total (31k in costumes) is rather sickening

Yeah, well, that's Kadokawa for you. This game killed the studio that developed it too, it's a real shame.

>>16474725

The file hierarchy and data format is game-dependent, but often games based on the same engine will be similar or identical, and ports from other platforms may also use the same format for data, but may cut down textures and such for handheld's weaker specs. Unfortunately it is game-dependent and some games use exotic compression or additional encryption for their main data files. Additionally Vita's encryption is layered on top of that. If you need to find information about this you'll probably have to search engine other communities, and additionally look for related games, like I believe the same unpacker works with all the Re;birth games for example. Do those VNs use a shared platform?

>>16475192

It's a bit different for console VN ports. They take lewd out but typically compensate for it with additional content, and portability is always a strong point for VNs. You could also make the same argument "just play the Switch version". Options and fan patches are never a bad thing.

Am I still able to do Remote Play with a hacked Vita now?

>>16477719

There is nothing a hacked Vita can't do that a vanilla Vita can.

>>16475403

>Yeah, well, that's Kadokawa for you. This game killed the studio that developed it too, it's a real shame.

The studio was actually absorbed into Kadokawa, not really killed. Also, they recently released a PS4 game similar to Photo Kano.

>>16477796

>There is nothing a hacked Vita can't do that a vanilla Vita can.

Seriously? What about online play and accessing PSN?

>>16480759

>I'd video it but apparently the capture plug-in does not work with the Settings or PS Store apps.

You could record it with a phone camera or something other than the Vita itself.

Alright everything I bought has been uploaded to NPS now. Man what a mess it was.

Half of the Reco Love DLCs are now available, it's still missing all the accessories and a dozen of costume packs (roughly 20k yen left) but that's a good achievement nonetheless. The JP section still have the other huge DLC monsters like Dream Club Zero Portable, Senran Kagura Estival Versus and Sengoku Musou 4

Gotta upload soon some first-print DLCs for Digimon World Next Order

>>16480558

You can access PSN and online play fine, as long as your spoof version in the Henkaku settings is set to the latest (currently 3.70, but it's likely to expect a 3.71+ firmware in the future). I've played enough online (especially EDF2&3 and a bit of Gundam Breaker 3) on a hacked Vita so you dont have to worry about getting the banhammer and such. That only happens when you do stupid things like cheating.

>>16480759

The stream plug-in doesnt work either for remote play, which I thought it could be a workaround to stream PS4 games that were initially blocked by the publisher (Tales of Berseria JP and the Ryu ga Gotoku do this for example). And the official alternative on PC isnt available for Windows 7 users.

>>16480942

>Half of the Reco Love DLCs are now available

Thanks, anon!

>>16480558

>The studio was actually absorbed into Kadokawa, not really killed

I didn't know that. Though being absorbed by a big corp is very much being killed. See Gust, etc. What game did they make for PS4?

>>16480942

Thanks a lot for your hard work! I'm going to enjoy those Recolove DLC to the fullest.

>Dream Club Zero

So I've been playing it for a bit like I mentioned before and maybe I'm just retarded but from what I understand, the DLC in it just don't fucking work unless you sign into PSN and I assume the game does some kinda online check but I don't know. I don't even have an account on the Vita at all because fuck that. I certainly wouldn't br willing to try signing into PSN and letting it check DLC that I don't own.

>>16481217

Actually, you're right. I just double checked vs. the DLC available on NPS and they do seem to actually work.

>LoveR

Looks fucking soulless, imo and trapped on PS4, RIP Dingo. Those girls don't look cute at all.
