Why is there a scenario writer bathing in the kitchen sink?

>>16501081

>>16500956

What is that corded box in those images? Is that how they have the water heater and gas done in Japan or something, just keeping it in the kitchen? I guess it makes sense if there's no garage or something to put it in.

Polite sage for not Vita.

>>16501081

Yep, they're water heaters.

A lot of nip apartments have the bare minimum in the way of kitchens. Some only have a microwave and cold water, so people buy these tiny heaters, ovens and stuff to be able to actually do shit in there.

Is anyone else not able to run Helldivers on their Vita after updating the game?

>>16501243

Read my second post I looked into it and found the same problem, but also a solution.

>>16501098

hist, meant for >>16501089

>>16501293

Ah, didn't see that. I guess I'll install the compatibility pack then.

What are some good Vita games? I already have Gravity Rush, Wipeout Omega Collection, Tearaway Unfolded and Danganronpa 1, 2 and 3 on PS4.

>>16505921

Take a look at the chart in the OP, dear anon.

If you have doubts about a game, let us know and we'll ignore you

>>16506156

>we'll ignore you

Huh?

>>16505921

Can't go wrong with Vanillaware games. Falcom games are good too, as are Atlus games.

XSEED/Marvelous puts out some decent stuff. Idea Factory puts out some fun stuff too, as does Sega. Nearly any game by them is a safe choice for quality and fun.

How is Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls?

A quick description is fine, I need to know within 40 minutes so a simple recommendation or avoidance would be fine

>>16507145

Repetitive and gimmicky but the girls are cute and some of the characters are fun, as is to be expected from Danganronpa.

>>16506448

>that cat

>>16507145

Resident Evil 4: Lite with Danganronpa girls.

Interactions are fun to watch, and gameplay is serviceable enough. Soundtrack's pretty sweet, as usual for DR games.

>>16507148

Girls being cute is to be expected from most anime games with an ounce of quality

Characters being fun is also to be expected from a VN that's not shit

How's the story? Worthwhile?

And is that an overall recommendation? Would you regret paying 15 bucks for a (preowned ofc, so NISA gets no money) copy?

>>16507154

Hm. That actually sounds pretty interesting overall.

I think I'm leaning towards biting the bullet then unless there's some information that would really make the game sour

>>16507162

It's playable. I liked its core ideas, the two mains complement each other nicely, and as you'd expect from anything Danganronpa, the visual style, music, and nods to video games are pretty strong. Questionable story and ending. Also bad localization, and make sure you are playing with Japanese voices, they're a separate free DLC.

>>16506156

I figured people would rather talk games.

>>16506923

There actually are taiHEN plug-ins for various Sony controllers but none I'm aware of for non-Sony. I've not looked into these at all.

>>16503912

>GTA V

I bought it brand new a couple years ago for the 360 (no point on getting the PS4/PC release if you're just gonna play the campaign) and it's trash; all the characters are annoying (everyone being charismatic despite being horrible human beings was one of the main selling points of this franchise), the missions are bland as fuck and chockfull of cutscenes, the cops are omniscient and will gun you down in three seconds flat if you don't take cover, you can't go innawoods to hunt game because firing a silenced pistol in the middle of fucking nowhere somehow gets you a wanted level (a rabbit reported you, probably) and the map is a clusterfuck so no proper chases. I don't think it's even worth pirating.

>AC:BF

Too much stealth, the plot doesn't even matter until the last few missions. If you're gonna play an asscreed game go for either 2 (avoid the DLC and sequels, pretend it's a standalone game) or Rogue (pretty much the best in terms of gameplay, ship combat has been refined).

>>16506923

You can use a wiimote with a plugin, otherwise you're stuck with a DS3/DS4 unless you buy one of those $60 adapters.

>>16505921

Depends on what kind of games you enjoy. >>16503912

I honestly can't tell if it's the chart that is shit or if the PS3 just had that many shitty games. In any case, it's pretty useless as far as finding something good to play goes.

I recently tried Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed on Vita after hearing from an acquaintance the recent Sonic racing game was garbage (none the fun from Transformed was present). The port is nice albeit there are a few noticeable performance hiccups on certain races, which I suppose they can be fixed through lolicon.

Do you think I would I be fucked out of the exploit if I order a Vita with 3.69 from California this week? I'm on the east coast so it'll take a week to ship.

>>16511251

Sony took around 2 months to patch out 3.65-3.68 h-encore exploit after its public release during last summer, so I assume it will take that much time for Trinity to get patched but it's indeed risky.

>>16508926

Nice to see that it runs well. Ports can run the spectrum of being smooth to only being playable with overclocking.

>>16511361

It's definitely playable imo but it's nowhere as smooth as another racing game like Ridge Racers 2 PSP (that I played a lot) which actually boasted 60fps and PS2 graphics on an handheld in 2005.

I'm a bit frustrated with my vita on account of the memory card is like….crashing/fucked. Half the time games just don't load and I get weird messages from installing. I got the 64 gig one on the premise of "All that shit I heard about those sometimes failing? I'm a chad that can't happen to me" but here we are. Consequently I haven't really played my vita in a while.

>>16511376

Official memory cards are notorious for that. Should have cracked your vita and used an SD card.

>>16511376

Try to rebuild your database and the games that were corrupted. If the problem still persists, then yeah the card has become faulty. My 64GB memory card that I own since December 2014 hasnt shown any sign of getting defunct yet but i still bought a few 4gb cards for my hacked oled model out of precaution.

>>16511402

Yeah I just have unwarranted self confidence and was like fuck it, never happen to me.

>>16511411

I think I tried this but yeah I can try again. I need to get an adapter to just use regular mem cards. That's a thing.

Speaking of failing memory cards, how does one back up an (official) vita memory card assuming the vita is already hacked? This kind of talk always gets me a little paranoid

>>16511516

Same way you do normal SD to SD. Copy the entire folder tree over! The caveat is with official memory cards (and internal storage) they use a weird filesystem that cannot be USB accessed on all OSes. In those situations you may need to use FTP, or possible you can mount the SD on a different point and copy on the Vita itself.

>>16500956

>you will never have a loli gf that bathes in your sink

I hope I can at least live vicariously through this game if it doesn't get censored by the time it releases

>>16516317

>loli

Anon, it says she's 26 years old there.

I really hope it doesn't get censored, too. Looks like a fun diversion.

>>16516355

>Anon, it says she's 26 years old there.

Sounds like a lolicon fantasy to me.

>>16516355

> it says she's 26 years old there.

I can't into moonrunes but in that case, she looks developmentally stunted enough to be a loli and that's good enough for me

At least it has a PC version, so it has a better chance of having a fan restoration patch if it does get butchered

>>16516317

I think the more pressing question is why is she taking a fucking bath with her glasses on

>>16516317

And you will never learn Japanese from the looks of it.

>>16516439

This shouldn't even need content toned down since the original is not an 18+. Or at least not Yumeutsutsu Re:Master, is that actually based on an older game because I can't find anything about it.

>>16516520

Because I need my cute glasses girls.

>>16516904

>>16516520

Glasses girls should never remove their glasses. It must act as a part of their body.

>>16517290

>>Also with that link I assume you'll cross-post them to the share thread as well?

Once I'm done testing a few more, thus ready to share them. That said, I'm meeting more problems on western releases than JP releases. Bugs Bunny Lost in Time always gets a black screen after the language selection screen, Heart of Darkness is completely buggy, and Looney Tunes Sheep Raider has a massive slowdown when pressing O to run away as well as an audio delay during cutscenes (really noticeable in the introduction sequence and the tutorial explanations are cut short in the last second). Kinda a pity because I liked those games when younger. I have yet to report such issues, early ones at least, on the JP releases (Tondemo Crisis, Refrain Love, Nurse Story, etc) I've converted so far

>>Wonder if it'll officially happen with Vita too

The Vita version of Hakuisei Ren'ai Shoukougun got a worldwide release, and Yumeutsutsu Re:Master was announced to be released in English at the same time with the jap version. Assumingly digital-only while Japan gets a physical release

>>16517224

>>16517290

I never had problems with pngshot and Adrenaline except for when running lolicon.

>>16521420

>Mizzurna Falls

Nice. Thanks!

How hot can the vita get before taking damage? I accidentally left mine on my PS4 while watching a movie and it got pretty warm.

>>16523160

It shouldn't get to the point where the system itself gets damaged. Worst that can happen in that scenario is battery drain due to the heat.

>>16521420

>mizzurna falls

This game's fully translated and the chick that did it even said anyone could use her translated script for whatever they wanted after the RE1.5 guy gave up on it

Why hasn't anyone finished the job yet?

>>16523296

Technical issues with hacking the game, perhaps?

>>16523451

Searching around led me to a post from 2 months ago in leddit that mentions having to considerably shorten sentences for them to fit, leading to a rather barebones simplified English.

Hopefully a breakthrough can be made for the text handling so that the script doesn't need excision to fit…

>>16521399

De-censors are always a nice thing but I'd have to see comparisons to determine if it's been altered due to Sony or CERO. That or a port to Switch that is untouched.

>>16523160

It's obscure enough I can't even find a picture or what it looks like but there is actually an overheating warning built into the system. I've never run into it with 444/333 overclock though. Also environment is recommended at 5°C - 35°C.

>>16517679

Maybe that's why. At least video capture works you just have to colour correct it.

LRG's House in Fata Morgana copies go out tomorrow.

Only 2300 copies for this run. Its pretty expensive this time too.

>>16523548

I'm sorry you had to go to reddit for that info, anon

I guess I'd rather wait painfully over playing a Simple English or Engrishy version, so I'll just have to sit on my thumb for now

How easy is it to repair the buttons/analog on a vita? My left analog is starting to feel loose and I never had considered console longevity until now.

>>16525935

Quite easy. Ifixit has instructions to open up the Vita. Make sure you get the right type of stick for your model (phat/slim). The sticks are ambidextrous (the same one works either for left or right side.)

>>16526845

Oh shit that page is perfect, thanks.

>>16527614

I wish they would just release Z already. The artwork in the newer games sucks fucking ass compared to it.

>>16528535

I already can Japanese more or less. I just don't want to see their efforts and money wasted like that, they don't deserve any of this. Least of all that kinda bait and switch right on release.

>>16523191

>>16524039

Cool, thank you

Just finished Mary Skelter, I liked it but the classes felt pretty meh and just shoehorned in, are there any DRPGs with a more 'fun' class system?

>>16530955

I usually play from 100% to 15% battery and never had a migraine with a handheld, playing in every position possible.

>>16530955

Try lowering your brightness, especially your Vita's an OLED model.

>>16531027

The classes in DT2 might seem generic at first but the game really prioritizes customization and freedom to an absurd degree. Try it, also as far as DRPGs go I think Mary Skelter is unironically one of the worst on the platform.

>>16530955

Drink more water. Your head hurts because you're dehydrated.

>>16531844

I didn't think it was that bad, it was extremely easy even on hard and the classes were mostly useless but it was okay in my opinion, I'd say it's an average game, maybe a little unpolished.

I will check DT2 during the week.

4chan's useless for this kind of question, so I'll ask here. Maybe someone knows. Can I use rePatch to apply the english revision of Digimon World Next Order to a Japanese copy of the game?

>>16532203

>arbitrarily

If you no longer have the right to sell the game, it won't be available for purchase, unless you want to get sued.

>>16531804

>Wipeout 3

Ayyy. My guy.

>>16534977

Go back.

>>16534977

Depends. If the file structure is the same and the game just werks loading assets from a different region, probably. My guess is that this won't work for 90% of cases though.

>>16534984

Concurred. 4chan's Vitagen is worthless.

>>16534999

I guess the safest thing to do would be to get the ASIA version, then. The JP version is cheaper, so I was curious as to whether it'd work or not. Not sure it's worth the gamble.

>>16531027

>>16531849

>>16531844

I went about a day without playing my vita, felt fine, maybe this was a seasonal occurance. Spring is almost over and I might be good if I try to go a week without. It is seriously strange, I'm primarily a handheld guy and I've never had any problems with handhelds outside of black-and-white shit that had no backlight. Unrelated, but if anyone wants a laugh, there's a taiwanese site that sells Vita games but they have chinese translated titles https://global.pchome.com.tw/english/?mod=store&func=style_show&SR_NO=SDAG2V&tm=e&page=1

>>16537114

Shin Gundam Musou and Warriors Orochi 3 were pretty good on the ps3, no idea how they run on the vita though. Aside from those Gundam breaker 3 is similar to a musou gameplaywise and runs well enough.

>>16537172

Gundam Musou runs fine, Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate is a little slow. Dynasty Warriors Next and Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 were made for the system and run great.

>>16523548

Trimming is an unfortunate factor at times (I know Mato had to resort to some custom character set that combined two letters into one character space to bypass doing so with Mother 3, for example), especially considering how much more kanji can say in a lot less characters, but can they not manage a variable width font or something? Still, if >>16523451 is supposed to be a screen shot of the game, I can see how character portraits eat into what room could otherwise be available.

Also if you ask me whatever font used there has some odd spacing between various letters that could be eating into the available pixel space even further, even it's just room for another letter per line.

>>16523296

Might as well ask why no one's apparently thought to bring lanyn in for a patch of Tales of Rebirth or Tales of Destiny 2, considering he/she has translation scripts for both games over at gamefags. Though admittedly I'm not sure if they'd be down for having their work used as such, even if credited, but on the opposite side, some people that start projects just don't want to share credit space with others, or (understandably) don't trust someone else's work to necessarily be accurate.

>>16528844

Not the first time Sony told a localization company to get bent. I mean, I've got my own personal gripes with Agetec, but they shouldn't have had to shitcan their English release of Shadow Tower Abyss at SCEA's behest when their English script was almost done.

>>16536160

>>16536192

>Wang library

>Go read a wall of dicks.

>>16537175

Next is a mixed back with shitty gimmick minigames forced in.

>>16537545

It's easy enough to explain. Some people who understand translation may not have enough knowledge or motivation to tear apart the script rendering parts, especially if they're handled in a hack-ish crappy manner. Generally speaking any ROM hack should test on the actual hardware too otherwise you risk locking it to sub-standard emulators. PS1 hacking also has its own problems distribution-wise in that there's not any good standards for patching and I'd say, less interest in and knowledge of the hardware.

On a related topic since it was just script editing, the Neptunia Re;translations still need a few flubs corrected with text overflow and typos.

>>16536160

>One Piece: Bloody - Chinese Version

Shame the Star Wars ones don't approach the legendary "episode iii backstroke of the west"

>>16528844

I don't either. But again I suspect it's more to do with the UK at this point. In Australia, "Films, computer games and publications that are classified RC cannot be sold, hired, advertised or legally imported in Australia." and I'd expect similar from their Nanny State for even making it even if not distributing locally. On a tangent, surprisingly, Gun Gun Pixies only hit MA15 here, original is CERO D, and PEGI 16 in the EU.

>>16537172

I cleared a good chunk of WO3U story mode in the Vita and didn't have a huge issue with it (compared to say, DW8XL which will give you cancer in the Vita)

>>16537571

That's true, it is a weird game in comparison to the others. Kinda wish they made another to better refine the mechanics.

Fuck the calligraphy minigame though.

>>16537545

>Not the first time Sony told a localization company to get bent

This kind of behavior is just one of many reasons why only pirate anything Sony related. They can go get bent themselves.

>>16537624

>I suspect it's more to do with the UK at this point

You really believe that? It sounds more like some shitty deflection strategy by Sony, just shift the blame. Why would a ban in the UK/Australia affect the worldwide release as a whole? Valkyria Drive got banned in some countries but that didn't stop them.

They still could have made an Asia English release, or hell, just release a patch for the Japanese version. Anything to not have it be a complete waste. It makes no sense from a financial standpoint to just completely drop it unless they had no other choice.

>>16538491

No I'm basing it on the UK banning the game, and that's where PQube are located. They aren't in the "Asia" region. But being blocked in 4 separate markets likely doesn't help. Valkyrie Drive Bhikkhuni was only in Australia and Germany.

>>16538637

From what I recall there is

>Bloodstained Curse of the Moon

>La Mulana

>Castlevania Dracula x Chronicles (PSP)

>Rabi-ribi

>>16539062

How is Rabi-ribi?

>>16538637

>>16539062

there's also Axiom Verge, though I don't know how good it is yet.

>>16539062

Oh nice, I’ve been wanting to play Bloodstained CoM for a while but haven’t been able to due to the shitty DRM. Just got it downloaded. I’ve got the rest. Shame La Mulana 2 didn’t get a vita release.

>>16539062

You forgot Guacamelee, Xeodrifter, Xenon Valkyrie, Bunny Must Die, Shovel Knight, and Chasm(I think this fits).

>>16539155

Didnt play on Vita for this one because Sekai Project was taking awfully long to port it over. I'm reading right now that it has sometimes slowdowns (i suppose during boss fights) and there are bugs/crashes at specific points with no patches yet. My bad for mentioning it.

>>16539166

I also tried Chasm which was alright in my book, but I recall people were disappointed about the randomly generated map when that feature was announced during its Kickstarter development.

Also in case of musous >>16537114 I could recommend One Piece Kaizoku Musou 2 & 3 which I both liked. The second has its own storyline (dark dials making everyone go DARKNESS) and is jap-only, while the third is more faithful to the manga's story (up to Dressrosa's arc with its own ending since the game was released before the arc was finished so no Gear 4) while introducing all-out combo attacks and a few more characters (Doflamingo and Admiral Issho are broken but fun characters). They could benefit from a bit of lolicon plugin too, but I've still enjoyed both games years ago

>>16535064

Through searching on GBATemp, I found that the english patch is compatible with the JP version fo the game. Looks like I'm getting Next Order.

>>16539249

>>16539155

Can confirm, the port is kinda bad. Slowdown is prevalent through out the game. Loading takes forever and some of the menu sprites look like they have bad compression. Every single dialog has a stutter when advancing text which is quite annoying. Additionally, they some how managed to screw up the resolution when porting over and they missed a row of pixels on the top. This wouldn't be such a big deal but if you use lolicon, the upper edge of the 'Configuration Loaded' text gets stuck there, leaving a dozen or so bright green pixels on the upper edge of the screen.

>>16539249

Chasm was fucking shit. These kind of games live off good level design, it was just boring with its random generated rooms. It didn't even have any interesting set-pieces at all.

>>16538637

If you never played AM2R there's a port of it for the vita.

>>16539366

Got a link to it or could you upload it? Looks like all the links I can find are dead.

>>16539376

The homebrew guide in the OP has links to it.

>>16539366

>>16539376

Just note that the game is unstable, and a patch is needed to be applied, otherwise there's a bug that makes you unable to continue past a certain point. There appears to be some fixes here https://nextgenroms.com/topic/4593-fix-for-am2r-for-vita/?page=3 that replace the game's eboot.

>>16539473

Would be more helpful if the links weren't walled off behind registration.

>>16538491

>This kind of behavior is just one of many reasons why only pirate anything Sony related. They can go get bent themselves.

Yeah I certainly don't recommend giving Sony money for anything at this point in time.

>Why would a ban in the UK/Australia affect the worldwide release as a whole?

Pqube operates out of the UK, and the ratings board there refused to rate it, but not only that, they adamantly called it out as being CP. Might be a factor that if they kept working on it, they could have gotten in actual trouble with the government even if they didn't do a native UK release, but it could also just be that SCEA and SCEE took note after hearing that and simply didn't want anything like it in the western market from their own end whether or not they agreed with the refusal to rate reasoning. Maybe if Pqube was based out of NA it could have been avoided since ESRB had already cleared it under an M rating, though it's not as if localization companies based here aren't wrought with their own issues.

>Valkyria Drive got banned in some countries but that didn't stop them.

I'd assume most of the world just sees games banned in both countries and writes them off as Germany and Australia being Germany and Australia, because it's long since become typical.

>>16531027

You aren't the only one that feels that way. Most of the classes in Mary Skelter felt the same or just plain outclassed by sharing a certain skill to another class. It's a shame because the game felt unique with its blood maiden mechanic and nightmare bosses borderline cheating their way to your party.

>>16539961

Forgot, but here's an article with the VSC's (UK Rating Board) statements and clarifications

http://operationrainfall.com/2018/03/16/vsc-decision-ban-omega-labyrinth-z/

>Whilst it is true that the game received a PEGI 18 rating, in the UK the VRA requires us to further consider issues of ‘harm’ which may result from a game being released. This question of harm is applied to all and every game we receive. It is unfortunate that on this occasion it was found necessary to refuse certification to this particular game. However, this decision was not taken lightly. Two clinical psychologists and a senior lawyer gave opinion on the viability of the game and concluded that it was likely that the material was in conflict with the law. This notwithstanding, the VSC Chair and Vice Chair also considered, independently, the viability of the game and ultimately concluded that it was not viable in the UK. The game remains available in mainland Europe where UK laws have no bearing.

>>16539961

Exactly, they go out of the way to mention Sony as the culprit. In comparison for example, Bamco (with Berseria's censorship on the early Laphicet scene) mentioned that they didn't want to get a 16+ rating. They didn't specifically mention the board, but since they said 16 it was pretty much a given it's PEGI, as ESRB doesn't have a 16 level.

(doubtful it was going to be USK, pretty much every Tales of has a 12 rating, even Xillia 2).

>>16539966

>>16540095

>DO YOU HAVE A LOICENSE FOR THAT SPOON?

It's too late for them. Hopefully Pqube gets the fuck out of there soon.

>>16540443

>should I keep that one in the gamerec or not?

I would say just to leave it. All things considered it certainly isn't the worst port I've ever seen and I've never had a crash while playing it. That being said however, it's probably best just to play it on a computer. You might add a note about it's port in the description or something.

They're selling a pre-owned Vita for 50$ at a local store, I think it's finally time to get one for the Muramasa DLCs. If I've softmodded Wii and PS3 without problems, there shouldn't be any problems right?

Just to know, is it fucked if the firmware has been updated to latest version.

>>16544612

Get it fag, it's going to be extremely hard to find it at that price again

Dunno about latest firmware fuckery as mine was hacked a long time ago but its only a matter of time regardless even if it is

Its extremely easy to hack, you'll be fine

>playing

I wanted something like Gauntlet to play so I'm checking out the PSP Untold Legends games. Not great but it's scratching an itch I have right now.

>>16544612

Assuming it's in reasonable condition get it. OP (You) documents everything hack-wise and they're still on 3.70, if you've done PS3 and Wii you'll be fine. If it's not a slim you will need an official memory card mind.

>>16544642

>If it's not a slim you will need an official memory card mind.

Right, I remember people wailing after they tried to import the Sony cards and got fucked. No it's a slim, so any SD will do?

>>16544993

It's not that. All Vitas only support the proprietary memory cards. To use one of the SD card adapters though needs jailbreaking, and that requires either internal storage (Slim) or a memory card (non-slim). The one possible exception is with SD2Vita and 3.60 or lower there is MLThaku which I think can do the basic setup without that but I don't know and haven't tested it.

>>16545016

Shit, so I still have to import a Sony card and get myself fucked?.

>>16545023

No no slims are fine. Order an SD2Vita (or two given the possibility of issues). The only time memory cards are needed is to break non-slims since they have nowhere to install VitaShell and H-Encore and such. Even those systems can have its storage shuffled a bit after to support essential homebrew apps for recovery and such, but that's a risky process and I don't document it.

>>16545023

You don't have to import anything. Just buy the smallest and cheapest memory card for Vita that you can find locally. It's more than enough to hack it. After it's hacked you can get an SD2Vita adapter and use a micro sd card instead.

>>16545245

There was actually one included. Wish me luck that I don't brick this thing.

>>16545445

Well you won't need it if it's a slim but keep it. Also you should be fine if you've done Wii and PS3, I also have, and Vita's one of the easier systems to break. Still ask if there's any doubt.

>>16545445

Good luck but like the other anon said, it's impossible to fuck this up if you already did Wii and PS3. Vitas are rather hard to brick.

Opinions on Summon Night 6?

>>16534977

They do have the right though, they sell it in every region, and the rights agreement for the PS1 classics doesn't specify any system.

The delisting is arbitrary.

Anyone else having trouble downloading games with pkgj? I wanted to get Akiba's Trip 2 but every time i press download it freezes for roughly 30 seconds and then throws a generic error, i can't refresh the list either, says it can't fetch it.

How’s the vita version of Minecraft? Been wanting to play it again as it’s sort of comfy.

>>16579297

I heard good things about the port in the past it's the best-seller on Vita, reaching MonHun levels in Japan but despite I tested it, the concept of Minecraft never really clicked with me personally. I also recall reading the framerate has taken a hit through updates but someone who actually played the port would tell you if that's true or not in detail

Super Robot Wars A Portable is tearing my asshole with the insane difficulty holy shit

>enemies often overwhelm you and are backed up by one or several bosses at once

>bosses all fuck off if their HP fall below a certain number (except in rare scenarios, such as the finales of an anime serie)

>if you cant oneshot them before their retreat, you're denied items and extra money that could massively upgrade your units. Killing only the normal units dont pay the bills.

>Char and other mobile suit bosses have low HP but they're extremely swift, making hard to land hits unless you waste SP points in case of super robot units/battleships or counterattack them with your own mobile suits

>any mission that involve allies/NPC units is a fucking torture because you cant control or heal them, they can eventually steal your kills (and sometimes items), make bosses retreat or get killed by bosses

At least the game doesnt have secrets based on your total amount of turns, and you can kinda cheat your way by continuing from a Game Over as you keep your earned funds and experience (unlike other SRW games where you're denied SR points and secrets based on total amount of turns). Koji (Mazinger Z), Kazuya (Daimon), Domon (G Gundam), Amuro (Char's Counterattack), Kamille (in Char's red modified suit, it's a secret item you get by defeating him to 0 HP in scenario 7) are my best units so far.

What's everyone playing on their Vita?

>>16605059

Finished lately Metal Slug 2 and 5 from the PSP Anthology, the fifth one had some really bullshit sections while most of my deaths in the second game were just a lack of attention and carefulness. I'm continuing Super Robot Wars A Portable (just finished the Space Route) and plan to start the full version of Yumeutsutsu Re:Master (the pictures from >>16500956 ). Hilariously, the VN has already a patch and it's the biggest one I've seen in a japanese VN.

>テキストの誤字や意図しない画像表示などを修正しました

>We fixed typo errors and unintended display images

>834MB big (since it replace a single big file)

I'll try out in any case if the patch is somehow nasty but I can confirm the PS4 version wasnt censored from a stream I saw on Youtube, around the part where the writer is washing herself in the kitchen sink as well as the opening.

I also contributed a few things, once again JP-related, for NPS which should appear soon

>Tales of Phantasia Full Voice Edition (PSP)

>Tales of Destiny 2 (PSP)

>Tales of Heroes (PSP)

>Bealphareth (PS1)

>Athena -Awakening from the Ordinary Life- (PS1)

>DLCs for Sengoku Musou Sanada Maru

>first-print DLCs for Digimon World Order and One Piece Kaizoku Musou 3

I just quickly speedran the VN a bit, up to the introduction of the legal loli part, and I can confirm there arent any censored pics so far (the opening movie is also intact which shows the writer's nude butt) with the patch on.

I'm a bit out of the loop.

My Vita is on 3.65 with HENkaku installed. Is that still good or should I upgrade to whatever is currently hip?

>>16607453

It's the last firmware where you can install Enso which is a permanent hack on boot (with also the ability to use pirated official themes or customize furthermore your Vita). No point in upgrading your firmware it doesnt help retarded niggers on 3.69 and 3.70 still ignore to downgrade their firmware Check the guide on how to proceed with the installation

>>16607470

Alright, thanks. I already have Enso and such installed (need to check whether I've got Adrenaline, though), so I should be good.

I'm asking because on the 3DS, at various points older homebrew methods became obsolete (menuhax to a9lh, a9lh to b9s), so I was wondering if anything like that happened with the Vita, but apparently not.

Finished Tohko. Had the same problem of getting my expensive headgear shredded by the final boss, but it showed up for purchase on NG+ that time, weird. Might try Minecraft for a bit now I need something comfier.

>>16607453

3.65 has little reason to go to 3.60, but any other firmware above or below it should be upgraded/downgraded to 3.60 and both support the boot-up entrypoint. What's even more important than that though, is you're using modern game copying standards. "Migrating to current standards" of the guide tries to bring people up to speed on that front.

Anyone else had this problem with PS1 games where suddenly it would speed up, and would only go to normal after exiting adrenaline. It's happened to me only with FF8 but it's annoying.

>>16610962

Very interesting that the Vita is still getting new releases but the 3DS scarcely has 3 games after this May. Is this anything to look forward to at all, or is it just news because its the final Vita game for a publisher.

This was before reF00D came out, right?

>>16614602

Use vita save manager, QCMA should only be used to backup/restore essential files and screenshots, not saves or full games.

>>16611955

Kinda the same problem:

>play king's field

>kill ant/spider queen

>the game speed is too fast to play now

>restart system

>i'm still sonic the hedgehog

>>16614615

>Vita save manager

It looks like it works essentially the same way CMA does but it looks like it stores it on the Vita instead, at least from the videos I'm watching

>>16614696

It saves them in ux0:data/savegames, you can copy them wherever you want later. And unlike cma, it has multiple slots, you don't have to fuck around with files manually. And qcma is extremely unstable for me, it randomly disconnects and the last time I tried to restore something it fucked up my whole system, so I ended up factory resetting it to return to normal, so I just manually copy the important files by VitaShell FTP/USB, and only use this cma abomination when I don't have a choice, like when VitaShell's media import refuses to work.

>>16614622

I found out the reason. Sometime ago, the developer of Adrenaline added the ability to speed up PSX games using the combination L+select, which I happen to do a lot because FF8's minimap is small and I need to rotate the map sometimes.

In terms of FF8, it's alright, I'm not feeling the same sense of urgency or excitement as I was in 7's disc 1. Perhaps that will change, but I have heard people give it mixed reception. After I finish this game, I'll likely go and play a native Vita game again, but I'm not sure what.

>>16614943

This is fuckall confusing

I tried backing up to save slot 1 (which was fluctuating in its playtime digit between 0 and 1) and it closed save manager with an error

When I booted it up again, all the numbers looked different and when I try to back up any slot it says "could not copy directory"

>>16605431

>Tales of Phantasia Full Voice Edition (PSP)

Was Narikiri Dungeon X not available or something? Just saying, since as far as I know, the version of Phantasia bundled with it (Tales of Phantasia X) not only included the Full Voice treatment, but also increased the combat fluidity to be on par with Eternia. Makes me wonder if there's much merit to the prior FVE version at this point.

>>16593441

Wonder if anyone will do a script rip patch from one of the other versions of Scarlet Grace for use with the Vita.

>>16614615

Well it works for me on 3.60 Ensō so yes, that was probably written around the time update365 was the only way to have it jailbroken at that firmware.

>>16615016

FF8 definitely has the reputation of being the black sheep of the 3 on PS1, but some people like it. Never played it myself, only finished FF7 and got a fair way through FF9.

>>16614696

There is one big difference. Savemanager decrypts saves too, meaning you can import them on any Vita easily and not worry about accounts requiring no additional steps there.

>>16521420

Hey is mizzurna falls translated???

>>16539200

>>16616715

The FVE is basically the PS1 remake with additional voicework. I don't think there were any other changes or additions made in that release.

>>16616715

>While it's not exactly my first crash (which were very rare so far since using h-encore for one year)

Good for you, my vita crashes/freezes about 2-3 times every day. Until now I just assumed henkaku is unstable as shit. I mean, you do an invalid memory access and the whole os freezes in 25% of cases, like with windows 98. (But sometimes it breaks even when I'm not doing anything funky) Welp.

>>16617043

I don't remember my vita having these kinds of problem before I jailbroken it, so hopefully that's not the problem. Before my SD2Vita arrived, I've used my vita without an SD card for a few weeks, and it was the same.

Move Adrenaline to second-last and udcd_uvc to last in case, but what SD card adapter? Use the plug-in for it instead of storagemgr and see, I haven't tried it since it was supposed to have fixed the issues where on long sleep it will stop functioning.

>>16615016

>I found out the reason. Sometime ago, the developer of Adrenaline added the ability to speed up PSX games using the combination L+select

Nice, i didn't know this feature was available in adrenaline. Looks like it's time for my yearly yugioh forbidden memories replay.

>>16616765

Enso doesn't crash the vita unless you downloaded that shitty enso fork made by a r_dditor, it sounds more like your SD/memory card is dying.

>>16617295

Isn't enso just a bootloader hack? Most of the stuff is done by taihen/henkaku and the plugins. And why the fuck would I download anything from that shit? I got it from enso.henkaku.xyz

At some point, retroarch on vita had the neko pc-98 emulator core, but it was removed sometime last year or 2017. The psp neko emulator doesn't support the later models of the pc-98 from the 90s. However, there is some jap who made a custom touhou engine for the psp, and it plays on the vita just fine.

Any great Vita games without anime girls? Ratchet and Clank Collection is the only i played so far.

>>16638618

>without anime girls

Of course there are. Anything Vanillaware for a start. But if that's a hang-up are you sure this is the system you want?

>>16636295

It's harmless and optional actually as long as it's loaded fairly late. Loading it means you can boot Adrenaline without unsafe homebrew enabled, and even with that toggled, it double-loads the first time if you don't load the plug-in.

>>16636130

Thanks for reminding me someone was doing an open implementation of EoSD (and others I think) that went nowhere.

>>16636295

>you're not supposed to be loading it on boot like that

No, that's totally fine. Check Adrenaline documentation on github.

>>16638618

>buys Vita

>does not like anime girls

>>16638618

>vita game

>without anime girls

The only games i can truly recommend are killzone mercenaries and hotline miami, god of war collection is an horrible port but the games themselves are good, so if you can stomach N64 graphics, sub 25fps framerate, compressed audio and 4:3 blurry cutscenes i'd say go for it. Gundam breaker 3 technically also has anime girls in it but you will be too busy wrecking enemy mechas and taking their scrap to even notice.

>>16638665

Vanillaware games do have anime girls, momohime, okoi and the fox sisters' design clash with the edo period art style, and odin sphere has a ton of cute anime girls as enemies, the entire fire and fairy realms are full of them in fact.

>>16639167

I'd say the overall visual style is distinct enough to exempt them. It's not generic anime like Atelier or Senran is for example.

>>16639167

Muramasa has anime-styled girls and things yes, but its much more a traditional or studio ghibli style than contemporary

Odin Sphere is highly stylized, but its closer to western style than eastern. Its a big stretch to call anything in it anime, even the fairies (though they are closer than some of the other things)

Found this interesting piece of news regarding the progress of negroarch on the vita. A bounty has been put for hardware acceleration support for the emulators. In theory, this means that there's less of a load on the cpu and doing software rendering, and getting better native n64 emulation, helps with some SNES games, and possible cores for other more recent consoles. Here's the link, I might pitch in ten bucks or so to make it happen. https://www.bountysource.com/issues/75980019-feature-request-gxm-driver-for-hardware-acceleration-on-ps-vita

>>16500759

I think it might be time to polish the chart in terms of aesthetic. (i.e. use a vita-style font for the title, maybe an image or two on the margins of it, like the 8ch logo on the left and a Vita/Vita-tan on the right or something like that)

It adds a lot of flavor to a chart and really makes it nice, in my opinion.

>>16649814

People keep saying the difficulty of SRW went into casualized garbage territory with the Z2 games and hasn't recovered which is kind of sad.

Has the n64 emulation on the vita gotten any better? Are there a list of games that are completable?

>>16636130

>>16636147

I'm going to go back on my word, recent nightlies of Retroarch on vita has a working PC 98 emulation core. Working as in I've been able to boot up 2hu games, although they don't run too well right now, but I haven't tried overclocking either.

>>16660611

Hard to say. You may or may not find the load times unbearable with 7 and especially 9, try it in emulator first (Mednafen with or without RetroArch is best for PlayStation, it will need BIOS files to work). I've only completed 7 but have made a fair bit of progress in 9 and it's definitely the better one mechanically and story-wise, while 7 is the sort you play to break the fuck out of. I like both games for their visual style with the 2D and 3D. Ironically I haven't finished 6 either, I got to World of Ruin, but never finished it, just getting to that point took multiple attempts.

Note there is no continuity as such so playing them in any order is fine. Try 9 first.

>>16660692

Does the change to digital format not help them much in that regard? I remember playing a custom eboot of Koudelka on my PSP years ago, and while the loading was still a thing, it was quite noticeably shorter compared to playing it off the actual discs on my PS2. I want to estimate the time needed was halved.

>>16660964

>But the transition blur to get in battles takes maybe 15 seconds in FF9

Has anyone figured out what exactly makes it take that long to get set up to the point of "fight's on" that even digital storage wouldn't improve it? I mean, I know Final Fantasy is popular and PS1 Square-soft still had a reputation for quality, but I'm a bit surprised at what sort of patience would be required for dealing with loading like that over and over. Is it a hard coded minimum time that just can't be improved on? Not like I can't deal with some loading, just that that sounds quite excessive in the long run.

Should I install psp games data when giving the option or does it even matter with them already being directly on the vita?

Does anyone know if there’s a way to get around the lag issue with the menus in Dissidia 012? I was looking around and it seems that it’s an issue with people running it through adrenaline on the vita which is pretty bizarre considering all the other psp games emulate perfectly.

>>16668518

Doesn't matter since it's not a UMD.

As before, I'm frequently hitting roadblocks in FF9 where I need items due to lack of support moves. Even regular enemies usually hit hard and bosses frequently are an item drain. Vivi especially is annoyingly fragile even in the back row. Not necessarily saying it's bad I'm probably missing something (not abilities I have noticed those). FF7's way too flexible with its materia system, same apparently with FF6 once you get espers but even that has its early game winners like Edgar or Sabin.

>>16669018

It may be something unrelated but Vita does not have perfect backwards compatibility with PSP, and has more issues with PS1 than PSP too. Still pretty damn good though.

>>16670493

>>16669018

Playing the PSP game as an official eboot (this requires using the drm-free plugin and a config file within the PSP folder) instead of the regular ISO format might help.

why hasn't anyone figured a way to run Android games on the Vita yet?

>>16670625

Because the Vita isn't running Android.

>>16670625

Might as well ask why no one has thought to run Windows applications on the XBOX, or Windows applications on the Xbone, or DOS programs on the PC-98. CPU architecture doesn't mean shit in these situations.

is there a plugin or anything to lower the brightness of the screen? It's set to 0, and it's still burning my eyes at night

What size card is realistically needed for a modded PSP?

>>16670941

https://github.com/devnoname120/vitabright

>>16668518

Doesn't matter for load times as >>16670324 said, but some games like peace walker unpack voices/textures when installing data.

>>16669018

No workarounds so far, metal slug anthology's menu also has a ton of lag and not even installing the game as an EBOOT like >>16670558 suggest fixes it. Trust me, i've tried it, mostly because some games are significantly smaller as EBOOTs, the one i mentioned goes from 1.5GB to 950MB.

>>16671024

256GB, do not buy this >>16671058 thing, get the single slot adapter instead, read speeds are way higher transfer speeds too, but i never gave a fuck about that since i always took out the SD cards and transferred games to them with a USB adapter, MHP3rd's loading screens are about 8-12 seconds long on a official sony memory card (8GB) and a single slot adapter with a 128GB class 10 sandisk SD card in it, but they can take up to 25 fucking seconds with one of those dual adapters. I used one of those things for the longest time mostly out of convenience (PSP games on one, PS1 and emulators on the other), but after trying out the single slot one i just couldn't go back to that slow piece of shit.

With my recent plays I have seen the Adrenaline LOLIcon crashing issue if left in sleep. Unfortunate. Has it been fixed? I'll probably just "don't do that then" since global overclock is more valuable.

>>16672558

If loads are that bad it'd probably break games too. I've seen some games flake out in that regard with my current SD where for example Neptunia gets music pauses and sometimes goes to its "now loading" with the bouncing Dogoos. Taking PNG screenshots can glitch games in various ways too.

>>16671381

Oh neat I thought it only unlocked the slider. That said I've never found it too bright even in total darkness at minimum. Maybe it's an IPS thing.

>>16671024

Figure out games you want and double it. You want headroom but don't be a digital hoarder.

>>16672558

>metal slug anthology's menu also has a ton of lag

The weird thing is that the menus actually run much better if you use the legit bought version through Livearea rather than Adrenaline for some reason. The games themselves are fine regardless, but this makes me wish Adrenaline wasnt the sole option to play PSP/PSX games

>>16672558

what adapter do you recommend?

I can only find my 32gb micro sd card but I am just trying it out and don't really plan on sticking massive amounts of stuff on it yet.

Switch Lite got announced.

What's everyone's thoughts on this?

>>16681908

It's literally a Vita without useless touch gimmicks, piracy and Remote Play, but because it's Nintendo and has pokemon it will sell like hotcakes.

>>16682096

Do all games play in handheld mode? He made it sound like some wouldn't be playable on that model.

>>16682113

I suppose it's a fair warning that some devs might decide to develop exclusively on the original model because of TV output and the higher clock speeds when docked.

>>16681908

It's still 8 inches wide and with a 3 hour battery life. I mean shit, they should've just developed a smaller version of the tegra x1 to begin with instead of using nearly stock. But, as the other anons have said, not hacked yet so I'll stick to the rcm-able switch I do have. I've had little reason yet to buy a switch, the games I am interested in are already on Sony's bundle of joy or the PC…or WiiU.

>>16682747

aw shit I did forget to add that the reason I bought it was mostly for Smash Bros Ultimate and any of the exclusives going forward on the WiiU. Not that I didn't have reason to get one at all, but it took until this year.

Is there any chance of other companies making Vita clones that are licenced by Sony?

>>16682837

Why the fuck would you want that.

>>16681908

I think it's to Switch as PSTV is to Vita. They take out a whole lot of core features like the docked mode, motion controls, the two-player co-op stuff, and more. Also no RCM exploit. In particular I have been playing that Neptunia game on mine lately and some text is virtually unreadable when using it undocked. That is a fault in the game but I suspect it's not an isolated example where games don't always consider the different use cases.

>>16682747

Switch isn't quite as big a regret as PS4 but I sometimes question whether it was really worth getting one.

>>16683608

If yours is fuseé vulnerable, then I'd say it's worth it.

>>16683621

Naturally. I picked one up shortly after that exploit landed as I knew it wouldn't be in future models. The fact they never fixed in later revisions the 3DS bootrom is pretty clear indication that Nintendo care about it. That said Sony are still neglecting to fix Vita it's still at 3.70.

As someone who may get a Vita soon, what model should I get?

>>16684603

I suggest the OLED (Which is the 1000 model)

but if you don't mind the LCD screen, I believe the Slim comes with 1 GB internal memory that's easily accessible meaning you don't need to have a vita memory card to hack it easily.

The slim model is also lighter, and slimmer.

I believe the triggers are a bit more wobbly or flimsy compared to the 1000 model though. Plus I've heard some issues involving control stick ghosting after a while more so with the slim than ever with the 1000

Anyone know if there's a way to play the JP version of Cyber Sleuth in English? Not sure if there's a rePatch patch or not.

>>16684603

Get the slim, unless you're planning on buying a 3G 1000 Vita. Alternatively, get whatever is cheaper for you.

>>16681908

Considered getting it, but there's still little on the Switch that I actually want. A lot of remasters and JRPG remakes are also available on PC, which is a better investment as of now. I don't like Nintendo games that much, so my Vita is still the go-to for portable games. Also, I have a 3DS.

>>16684850

Why the JP version? Just play the Asia-English version

>>16684850

>>16684628

>>16684721

Thanks for the info. Looking to get one since they're relatively cheap considering how sony stopped making them.

DOA5+ looks and runs as good as the PS3 version. is there anyone still playing it online?

Is it just me or the port of An untitled story keeps crashing pretty often after a certain point?

Memory cards aside, why did the vita shit the bed so hard when the PSP sold 80 million units?

Playing the PSP again makes me wish the vita got an actual Gran Turismo game because this PSP version is actually pretty good.

>>16684889

>Just play the Asia-English version

The JP version is 10 bucks. The Asian-English version is over 6 times that much.

>>16685882

No star power, and no first-party support after 2014.

>>16686004

If you insist on buyfagging, which I'd discourage with Sony given recent events, pay for Japanese, pirate Asian-English.

>>16686037

Didn't actually know PSTV had a separate tan.

>>16684934

I assume you're interested in the games on it right?

>>16686967

Well the mobage got scensored so I'd not get my hopes up.

>>16686980

With the mobile game the Japanese version was left alone, it was the localizers (fucking Crunchyroll) that took out the head petting mini-game. In this case the worry is Sony, and I also don't know how MAGES./5pb. are when it comes to handling situations like this.

>>16684955

i'd be up to play it, DOA Dimmensions is dead and the PS3 version of DOA5 is the f2p version

>>16685882

I would wager the biggest reason being that the market for handhelds was unfavorable for it. That and the memory cards, and I would say overall niche appeal once sony dropped it. oh yeah if you wanted a single slot adapter, i'd reccomend the ones by funturbo on amazon, but buy a few of them just in case one of the is doa, happens a sometimes with these and the vita ones

I'm thinking of buying a vita. Can anyone provide a checklist of the things that I'll need to have in order to actually crack it and play it that way? Going through the whole cracking guide without so much as owning the console is probably a bunch of jibberish to me right now, but I'm looking to see how much I'll need to spend and want to get all the parts at once.

The kind of things I'm asking about are the vita itself (type/model other relevant details), the memory card (do you still need those official snoy cards?) maybe some kind of memory card reader in order to transfer from the PC, or is that done wirelessly now? Any kind of hardware modding requirements or tools, or any specific software (games etc) required to crack the console, and of course anything I haven't thought of yet because I've never handled the console before.

>>16690790

Top to bottom.

There a three major Vita models, 1001 with OLE screen, 2000 with an LCD screen, and PS TV which is basically a PS Vita in a screenless box that connects to your TV.

No, after hacking your PS Vita, you can use an SD2Vita converter that goes into your game card slot for portable Vita models, or a USB drive for the PS TV.

Files can be transferred wirelessly via FTP when your vita is hacked via Vitashell.

There is no specific hardware to get up and running for Vita hacking. For software, the most recent hack which works on the latest PS Vita firmware is Trinity, which requires you to buy a PSP game from the Playstation Network.

>>16690801

Thanks for the help but you haven't quite answered the core question. Summarize I need to buy

>1 PSVita

Currently any model will work cracked with the same requirements so this comes to prefrence/price/availability, correct?

>1 SD2Vita

>1 SDCard

Or more? I read something about region locked accounts based on the card. The entire thing will be purely a pirate station, but I have a strong interest in raw JP games

>1 PSP game via the shop

Specific game or any game?

>>16690790

Repeating my earlier post. >>16684721

In short: Get smallest official memory card + first-gen 3G (best for PSVSD) or first-gen not-3G (second-best). While you don't need an official memory card with second generation systems, those are a distant third, and PSTVs only jump to first if they're dirt-cheap, which they are not generally anymore. Jailbreaking is thorougly addressed in my guide, at present they still haven't fixed 3.70.

>>16690827

>Currently any model will work cracked with the same requirements so this comes to prefrence/price/availability, correct?

If you buy a 1000 model, the fat, you'll need to buy an sd card, but a 2000 model have 1GB of internal memory, which is enough to run exploits off of.

>Or more? I read something about region locked accounts based on the card. The entire thing will be purely a pirate station, but I have a strong interest in raw JP games

You can have more than one sdcard, I've had not problems using a 128gb card, but I would reckon asking someone else who has experience with bigger cards.

You can buy just 1 sd2vita, but I bought two just in case one was dead on arival, now I have two.

Games are region free, including piracy, so no playing a JP game with an NA account wont get you in trouble.

>Specific game or any game?

PSP game or demo is needed to be downloaded if the vita is on 3.69 or 3.70 when you get it. It's part of the exploit. As for tools, use the guide that is in the OP, it's fairly simple and at most took me 30 minutes fumbling around with backing up saves on someone else's vita.

>>16690845

>sdcard

I'm going to give up posting in this thread, I meant to say an official sony memory card.

>>16690845

>but I would reckon asking someone else who has experience with bigger cards.

I'm that someone. You can pirate a lot of JP/SEA games and use them on a single American or otherwise account just fine. The most current method for doing so is NPS Browser, which runs on user contributions of their key files and downloads the games straight from Sony's servers.

Sony does not care about piracy shenanigans unless you cheat online.

>mod psp

>don't actually play anything besides GT, which I already had a physical copy of

heh

Can't say I am surprised because I've never particularly cared for 16 bit stuff, nor have I ever really gone back to PS1 since I last stopped after getting a PS2.

Best place to get PSP/PS1 iso's?

>>16694063

CD Romance. They have a whole section of PSX-PSP conversions.

>>16694147

CDRomance/Nico is great.

I just wish that Emuparadise wasn't taken down

For EBoots, they actually had the most out of every site out there. Luckily I saved every one that looked interesting to me

>>16695305

>I just wish that Emuparadise wasn't taken down

>Yet another faggot that thinks EP was taken down or dead.

How many times does it need to be said that they simply hid the download links, and that if you have the right script enabled you can regain access to them?

Nico/CDR is indeed useful though, especially for prepatched games. Still a shame though that the admin apparently got a stick up his ass about hosting eroge some years back and shitcanned them. Their vidya artbook section also get trashed as well for whatever reason.

>>16696263

Why would you go around and spread that information among literal retards? You're just accelerating an actual takedown.

>>16686415

The whole point of buying the game is to not have to download the digital game. I'm not going to buy the cartridge and not use it.

>>16699301

Even if you'd use it, you'd just dump the physical to an sdcard, unless you want to suck with the small, slow as shit and overpriced official memory cards.

Fortunately vita gaems are not too big, unless you live in burgerland it shouldn't be an issue to download them.

>>16699812

Unless there is some obscure plugin that never was updated for 3.65 you want, there shouldn't be any reason to downgrade or upgrade your firmware.

>>16699301

Digital is a moot point with a system that is hacked.

>>16699554

If you have a PSVSD you can use cartridges.

>>16699812

No. This is one part vita.hacks.guide is deficient about. The gains of downgrading are not worth it. Just note there are taiHEN configuration differences and a different Ensō installer between 3.60 and 3.65.

Which armored core game is best for the vita? I've been having fun with Gundam breaker's 3 for the vita and I'm looking for a bit more mecha games.

Having a bit of confusion regarding the SD2Vita.

I followed the guide here https://vita.hacks.guide/storagemgr to install storagemgr.skprx. However I have two problems. One, I have no SD card reader on my PC. The only device I currently have capable of inserting an SD card is the Vita itself. Therefor I could not follow the guide https://vita.hacks.guide/storage-format-(windows). On the hope/assumption this is not necessary I went ahead with the rest of the storagemgr guide. However, I don't see the SD2Vita, or I don't know where to see the SD2Vita, in the vita's configuration. The Content Manager still shows the 4gb vita memory card.

So, do I need to buy a reader in order to format the 128gb sd card, and how do I determine if everything is successful and then install games to the card?

>>16704561

Additional: If I try to start the Vita with the SD2Vita inserted, the starting screen freezes. I see the page with the clock that I'm supposed to peel in order to get to the vita home screen, but touch inputs do not work. Ejecting the SD2Vita immediately resolves the issue. I'm guessing this is due to either an improper install or format.

>>16704561

>>16704577

You need something to read micro SD cards on a PC since they need to be formatted a particular way. Just get one they are cheap. In my case I have an SD card slot that fits SD->micro SD cards. Those work too.

>>16704624

No slot at all. I'm going to have to order one. I really wish somebody had told me this when I was specifically asking about all the things that I needed to buy in advance so that I could get everything at once, here: >>16690827

Is there any way to force full screen when using component cables with a PSP2000?

>>16704629

It is assumed for all these hacking things that you have the ability to read/write an sd card. It is essential for initially hacking the Vita anyway.

>>16705442

No it isn't. For initially hacking the Vita all you need is FTP and a wifi connection (on the vita), which somebody did tell me. In fact I can probably use FTP to dump games directly from my PC to the Vita if the shop doesn't work.

>>16705477

Also a vita memory card, maybe. I'm not even sure that was necessary for mine (old firmware, was on 2.05 to start). The hacking guide only had me using ux0 (memory card) for the very first steps and then everything else goes to ur0 (internal memory). I don't see why I couldn't have just done those first steps directly to ur0, but I'm certainly not going to take the risk experimenting with that.

>>16700417

Thanks, very helpful. I tracked down that 3.65 Enso installer. It's strange that their "official" web page states it doesn't work with 3.65 firmware, but there is a github page that has a 3.65 compatible version. Someone should update that hacking guide.

>>16704629

Call me crazy but I assume that that sort of thing is standard with how many devices use micro SD. Anyway now you know.

>>16705491

Only for PCH-1xxx where you need somewhere to initially install apps like VitaShell and Ensō installer.

>>16705595

They probably do for systems that don't support downgrading to 3.60, but no it's really not worth the hassle from 3.65. I did it and it was a few hours of untangling stupid shit.

>>16704561

>how do I determine if everything is successful

If it boots with the SD card and everything is like it was before, it works. Basically it either does or not at all. Also check our guide, it's way less convoluted than the guide for retards that reddit set up. Should answer a bunch of other questions you might have.

>>16705477

>For initially hacking the Vita all you need is FTP and a wifi connection (on the vita)

Not exactly. Only if you have a Vita on <= 3.60 - anything above needs a PC with QCMA installed. And yes, downloading games on PC via NPS browser and then transferring them over the slow ass FTP is still faster than downloading them on the Vita itself. I recommend using the USB connection in Vitashell instead though.

>>16705595

Because it does not work on 3.65. Enso for 3.65 was not made by team molecule so everything on that enso page is true.

>>16705674

>Call me crazy but I assume that that sort of thing is standard with how many devices use micro SD. Anyway now you know.

Mostly normalfag things like cellphones and cameras, and I'm not even sure about cellphones. Certain game consoles use them of course, I know the Wii uses a full-sized SD card, but there are a lot of PC only people around here and somebody talking about buying a console is a good chance of not owning any other ones. Plus that's more or less specifically what I asked for when I said "maybe some kind of memory card reader in order to transfer from the PC"

>Only for PCH-1xxx where you need somewhere to initially install apps like VitaShell and Ensō installer.

The thing that's confusing me is that most of the apps (and this is a 1001 vita) installed to system memory, not memory card. Only Enso and Vitashell were directed to install onto the memory card. If what you say is true, I can only guess that system memory simply isn't usable via molecularShell, so we have to go browser>card>system in order to crack it.

Where can I get a copy of Digimon Next Order that works? I think this is my fourth try at getting the game to go past the splash screen. My internet is too shit to download through LiveArea.

>>16706045

>SDs

Some phones allow micro SD card expansion, if it doesn't it's a piece of crap. O3DS uses regular SD cards while newer ones are micro SD.

>PCH-1xxx

The system apps, by definition, have to be on the internal storage, they're mounted to vs0:app/ specifically. You can only install extra ones to ux0: which has nothing without a memory card. Once you have broken though you can configure Ensō on ur0: which can then set up SD2Vita there. Also it is possible to re-arrange the partitions with a particular tool so you can have a 100MB internal storage for recovery, but it's safer to just use a memory card.

>>16706126

No the Vita's Wi-Fi is too shit to download games. Use NPS Browser on a PC.

>>16706045

You can't run apps from the system memory, only the memory card, or to be more precise, only the ux0 partition can be used for user installed apps. The stuff you install to the internal memory are plugins that don't have to be run manually and instead are loaded by the taihen framework which is part of henkaku, in the background. Or system apps which are on their own system partition and it is possible to replace system apps with something like Vitashell but it's not something a beginner should mess around with.

>>16706126

Nopaystation.

>>16706003

>Because it does not work on 3.65. Enso for 3.65 was not made by team molecule so everything on that enso page is true.

The guide contains links, almost side-by-side to Enso web page and to the unofficial 3.65 firmware, in the section that covers users who can't donwgrade from 3.65 because their factory firmware is 3.65.

The guide needs to be updated to be more clear that you are about to install a far less tested firmware from someone even more unknown and less reputable than the Enso people. firmware that may very well make your vita useless.

>>16706437

What? The 3.60 and 3.65 installers are both coded by trustable people, and as far as using, virtually identical. What is questionable is that other Ensō fork that adds things like animated boot screen, I didn't want to risk it with mine since it's been through hell and back as it is. The one change I may do to our guides is explicitly link the two installers in Initial Setup where I note not to downgrade because it isn't worth it, and what the differences are and add them to the homebrew list too.

>>16706437

Well, one of those is true.
