I have a PS Vita running 3.18 FW and downloaded Persona 2 Demo to my account on PS3 but could not get anything to show up on the transfer screen on the Vita. Under Applications it was empty.

Is this possibly because it is no longer an exploitable game? I have made several attempts but no dice! I just want my emulators for the most part.

Thank you ahead of time for any help offered, GBAtemp is amazing.

A lot of PSP demos can be downloaded to the PS3 and transferred to the PS Vita but won't show up. This is normal. It basically means Sony haven't updated the license to allow it to work on the Vita's ePSP side. I tried dozens of them looking for an exploitable game and basically none of them worked (they didn't show up as a bubble on the LiveArea so couldn't be used as a base game for the TN-V exploit). In the end I settled on Arcade Darts for £2.49, PSP mini which was cheap, small file size of around 21MB and works as my exploit game on both 3.18 and 3.51.

I just found the answer on the demos, they only worked during the 2 day exploit swarm and no longer can you use the demos. It must be a purchased game, which fairly enough, is semi explained on the tutorials here and on other sites. They just didn't explain why. Not sure if I can post links but here is where I found the info:

That's outdated and/or slightly misleading. I'm guessing it's either referring specifically to those "exploitable" demos (outdated info), or it's talking about downloading them on PS3 and transferring to PS Vita. The latter might be true. I downloaded my demos directly from my Vita back when I was on the latest firmware (at the time), so I don't know about transferring from PS3.

In any case, you can definitely use any purchased PSP game that is marked as Vita compatible, so look for a cheap one that doesn't take a lot of space.

    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
