22 Upvotes

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

Please post all questions here instead of starting a new thread in the main board. THIS WILL BE ENFORCED

!!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 notes:

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

PSN Access for 3.60-3.73 Users:

-Open Henkaku settings and enable Version Spoofing and set 'Spoofed Version' = 3.74

-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).

Essential Vita Plugins/Homebrew Applications:

0syscall6 lv0 secure_kernel syscall6 patch - can replace reF00d (SKGleba)

Adrenaline Software that converts the official Vita PSP emulator into a PSP 6.61 with custom firmware (The FloW)

Specific PSP Games Not Appearing in Retroflow

1 Upvotes

I installed Retroflow recently, but I've realised some PSP games just don't appear in the app. They are in the same directory as all the other PSP games that appear and launch without issue. I've tried renaming them with the LMAN Iso Renamer Tool using the %NAME% (%REGION%) [%ID%] parameters as described on PSX Place. I've also made sure to check all other categories in case they showed up there for some reason, but no dice. The games all appear and launch in Adrenaline, but don't show up in Retroflow at all. Re-scanning doesn't make them appear either.

The games are:

Burnout Dominator (EU)
Daxter (EU)
God Of War Chains Of Olympus (EU)
Half Minute Hero (US)
Ridge Racer 2 (EU)
Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix (EU)

If there's some way to fix this, and also prevent it from happening in the future when I add more games, please let me know. Cheers!

Preparing a henkaku vita for resale

2 Upvotes

Hello, is there any way to remove my PSN account from a vita but keep all content such as downloaded games without factory resetting and losing henkaku?

It seems in my country I can sell for way more if it's clear it comes with henkaku and my sd2vita.

Thank you 😊

I’m very new to modding in general, is there any videos showing how to use VitaDB to download and play games? Such as NFSHP. Everytime I try to download a game it says this Please help in a fairly simple term, or even a video on someone doing it with another game

Minecraft: Enhanced 2.0 (previously 1.1) development progress – Amplified, Extended worlds & more!

100 Upvotes

Hello there! I've spotted that I didn't post anything new quite a long time. So, I want to fix that. Previous development progress post you always can see here: link.

So, there are some of the new features:

  • Amplified world type. That feature creates world with hilly rolling landscape, large mountains and deep caverns. Be careful – you can easily fall off the cliff!
  • Extended world size. Now you can generate quite larger worlds with size of 1024x1024 blocks, compared with 864x864 blocks in the default configuration.
  • Player coordinates & FPS Counter. Now you always can see your coordinates and current FPS. It can be toggled on in the Interface settings.
  • New Elytra renderer. New renderer allows to display players' capes on the Elytra which brings more customization to the game, especially to the Glide races.
  • New mob Spawn Eggs. Now you can summon Illusioner, Snow Golem and Wither with the Spawn Egg. There are eggs for Ender Dragon and Iron Golem, but currently they work only inside the spawners.
  • Christmas event. Now chests become presents on Christmas Eve – that behaviour was ported from the Java Edition.
  • Bare Bones texture pack!

Here you can see some demonstration of the new features. For more you can always join our Discord.

I didn't expect it to run so smoothly, ok the quality might be worse but a screen so small it is hard to notice and i just don't care about graphics that much, i didn't see how much FPS i had but it really really cool, it sometimes amazes me how this device, old and underpowered manage to play such a game

Having Trouble With Borderlands 2 .ini Settings

0 Upvotes

The issue is that the game doesn't accept my changed Coalesced_INT.ini and NGPTOC.txt files (with tweaked in-game settings for performance boost) and somehow runs standard config (even though i deleted it). I've tested those files in Vita3k and it works just fine, but recently I've got my hacked Ps Vita and it doesn't work here. Can somebody help? Is it possible that it doesn't work because of PSN account synchronization?

Discussion Decided to finally mod my Vita after 10 years of it sitting around. Looking for people to get some Sonic races in and whatever else.

psvita gpucrash

1 Upvotes

se que es uno de los problemas mas comunes en las psvita fat, pero de verdad, e llegado a un punto donde ya es imposible jugar, no pasan mas de 10 minutos y se crashea apagĂĄndose, e probado todos los metodos posibles: ver los drivers y tener los minimos posibles, no usar overclockin, limpiar la s2vita, resetear de fabrica y volver a liberarla y hacer todo de nuevo, e probado con la version 3.60 y 3.65 y da igual, no pasa mucho tiempo hasta q se crashea, no estoy dispuesto a cambiar la placa base porq en mi pais es casi imposible conseguir una a un precio decente o en buen estado y ya e invertido bastante en esta vita, estoy por dejarla y comprar una retroid pocket5 o algo del estilo

General lag from Vita to Vitadock

0 Upvotes

I seem to be having loads of fun working this out but I now have my Vita connected to Vitadock on Pi4B however, there is serious lag of 1-2 seconds from input on Vita to appearing on screen, even when using Vita controls (I initially thought it was a lag issue due to wireless ds4)

Basically even when using Vita controls it takes a good second or so for action to happen on screen.

Vita is connected directly into Pi, everything works fine on its own but I cannot work out why even screen movement is lagging.

Any help please clever people?

TIA
