Discussion Vita to top it all off

Post image
• Upvotes

I finally finished paying everything off, and I’m completely debt free now. I celebrated with a Japanese PS3 L00 and a Japanese Vita 1100, did the Note 9 battery mod which gets ~9 hours of battery life while overclocked. Installed a PSVSD with 512GB card and USB-C port conversion. Slapped on a matte screen protector and currently using Vita OS launcher. Things are looking pretty good. Currently learning Japanese so I can dive into the plethora of games we didn’t get over here.

Discussion Still Trying To Learn My VITA

1 Upvotes

I've recently learned Halo CE is now playable on my Vita.

Anybody willing to hold my hand through installing it?

Also, I'm super new to to Vita landscape and am having a lot of difficulty finding all the games I want to play on it.

I always carry my PSP on me and recently have been trying to show my Vita some love.

Ironically all I want to play on it is PSP titles 😅

Pkg doesn't have even close to the majority of PSP titles.

Where else can I look?

I wanna do it without a laptop.

Discussion Advice

Hello everyone! I own a PS vita Slim for almost a year now and I want to upgrade my storage, I already purchases a SD2Vita card but the SD cards that I insert in them usually don't work. Do I need to get a specific kind of SD from a expecific brand?

I really want to download more games, I have only 7GB and I must constantly uninstall one game or two if I want to download something new.

(Sorry if I put it as Discussion I barely know how to use Reddit)

PSP (AI Allert) Big news for DEVS in PSP and VITA HB community about PS2 Ports

Today SandstoneDEV has published his PS2-TO-PSP AI agents skill-forwarders to simplify AI agents in porting PS2 Titles to PSP.

Which means it should be easier to port PS2 games onto PSP (or Adrenaline) and with some thinkering it can be used for VITA too.

I think the last quarter of the year is going to be wild for the both communities.

EDIT1: Thanks to EukaryotaSynth since he has created another AI skill simplyfier specifically for a VITA - POST HERE.

Been working on this for the past few weeks…Claude has helped make some serious stuff happen but there’s still a lot of work to do…

The first week was a lot of trial and error and sitting at my computer trying to get anything on the engine to run…

Cluade and I have been coming up with the brains for this port…such as: compressed ram for possible optimization, hot path rerouting, LLVM, and pre baking assets and MUCH more…

I’m please to tell you that test runs have it as high as 19fps on the menu and the physics engine is under weigh now…

Still, I’ve got a long roadmap ahead and am going to in consistently post about this build, I also don’t have a timeframe but I’m also super proud and exited about this build…

It’s amazing how easy it has been to move a 32bit game to 64…it’s the opposite for a 64bit arm build to run on a 32bit (arm 7 chip), but with some time and work this could be something great…

The unity engine on the vita is extremely outdated, so cluade and I built a custom engine translator (Called Shepard) that will be open source and available for free eventually for for dot.net runtimes…

Some things that go without day: youll need a computer (windows, Mac or Linux) to install the repack app which brings me to the second thing…you will need to own the game on a major platform like steam to be able to download the files…the translators are what make this build possible, you supply the legit purchased game…

Give me some time as I’ve got a lot of tricks up my sleeve to get this port working and need to run tests and compare logs and runtimes to see if improvements have been made…

The roadmap: full game, full quality where possible, updates and more improvements if we can get to it…then DLCs and finally co-op which I’ve got some major ideas for but that’s last…

I’ve got a whole plan and it’s just taking cluade a while to get it right but don’t worry because I’m not ghosting this port and even better it will be something I support for as long as necessary to ensure it works well…

Ah yes, one more thing…please if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say it…I’m not stopping this port because someone online hates ai…I’m not claiming to be well rounded in older code or systems but I’m learning what I can and not just prompting “fix it” repeatedly…so keep that in mind…thank you😊

Used the code from the old port from TechnicalJicama4 as a starting point. (https://github.com/technicaljicama/duck-psv)

Not gonna lie, this newer version is vibe coded.
Still ironing out some bugs.

I never thought I would see nights into dreams running on my vita but it runs so well!! Other than the audio being horrible and incredibly crunchy it's amazing. I'm so impressed to see the Sega saturn games running on vita when everyone said it would be impossible!

3 Upvotes

Welcome to the r/vitahacks Bi-Weekly Question thread!

Please post all questions here.

!!NEW!! 3.65-3.74 USERS: Use HENlo to install Henkaku WITHOUT PC/Content Manager/PSN account!!!

PSN ACCESS/LOGIN ON VITA MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION, SEE HERE

Before you post a question, please note:

-Please refer to the Official Vita Troubleshooting Guide; this is a comprehensive guide (maintained by Cimmerian_Iter) that covers a wide range of common issues and how to resolve them

-The vita hacking guide covers everything from 'what is homebrew' to hacking the vita and installing essential plugins

-For a comprehensive database of all available vita homebrew, please refer to VitaDB. You can access it and install homebrews directly from your Playstation Vita using the official VitaDB Downloader app.

-The older app VHBB made by u/devnoname120 is not currently supported.

-Rule #1 - "No discussion of piracy/backup/warez/dumps" is strictly enforced; there are other resources to discuss this subject matter

3.65-3.74 Users:

-HENlo replaces Hencore2

-Use Vitadeploy to downgrade firmware/install ENSO

Firmware Guide:

Vita Firmware VersionAvailable Hack(s)1.03-3.57Update to *3.60 or 3.653.60*3.60 Henkaku/Enso3.61-3.63Update to 3.653.65*3.65 H-encore/Enso3.65-3.74Install Henkaku/Vitadeploy using HENlo (via Vita Browser)

*Recommended

3.74 Firmware notes:

-Change requiring 2-step verification for PSN login/access

3.73 Firmware notes:

-Very minor changes. See here (Credits to PSSDude for the report)

3.72 Firmware notes:

-3.72 firmware was released by Sony for...System stability?

3.71 Firmware notes:

-3.71 firmware was released by Sony to patch the Trinity exploit

-3.71 firmware also breaks Modoru by adding checks in lv0

3.70 Firmware notes:

-The Vita master key was changed in the 3.70 firmware release, shortly after it had been publicly "unveiled" by the vita hacking community

-Game decryption keys have not been changed with the 3.70 release (reF00D/compatibility packs have not been broken)

-3.69 firmware was released by Sony to patch the h-encore exploit

PSN Access for 3.60-3.73 Users:

-Setup your network with Henkaku DNS settings

Sync Legit Trophies? -YES

Online Multiplayer? - YES

PSStore Access for Purchase and Download? - YES

Use Vitacheat and TropHAX online? - At your own risk

Prevent your Vita from Updating:

NOTE: PSVita firmware updates are not a typical modern-day concern, since downgrading firmware is available and simple to execute. Known exploits continue to work on most recent firmware (3.74). Preventing update is still a good practice in general.

-To disable the download of automatic firmware updates: Settings --> System --> Auto-Start Settings --> Uncheck "Download automatic update files"

-Setup your network with Henkaku DNS settings for an additional layer of update prevention. See here.

-If your console has downloaded the 3.73 update file, simply deleting the notification in LiveArea should remove the file from your system. Otherwise, firmware update files can be found in ud0:PSP2UPDATE/*

-Remember, unless you are running your vita in Demo mode, your console will not spontaneously install/update firmware software. There are legal reasons for this. Installation of any new software on your device requires your consent, (EULA).
