Hacking Can you share SD2Vita with PS TV and Vita?

[lovethevita24]

Has anyone managed to share an SD2VITA card between a Playstation Tv and Vita? This isn't working for me.

I've set up enso 3.65 on a Playstation TV as well as an SD2VITA and it works fine. However when I then setup Enso 3.65 on a VITA 2000 and tried to set up SD2VITA Enso simply crashes on boot.

I take the Sony memory card for my working Playstation TV and the SD2Vita card, put them both in the Enso 3.65 VITA, reboot, and Enso simply crashes. I have to go into safe mode and rebuild the database to get the Vita 2000 working again, and it doesn't read the SD2VITA.

You can use the same adapter but I think that you can't use the same content on two different consoles, basically the important stuff like user data stuff that is stored on ux0.

So upon further testing, with the proprietary Sony memory card and a hacked enso 3.65 I can happily swap back and forth between the Playstation TV and the Vita, playing the patched Legend of Heroes Trails of the Sky FC (my test game). But... with an SD2Vita this is not possible in my testing. Swapping just causes the Vita to crash. This kind of makes the SD2Vita useless for my use case, since I want to be able to play games both on the go and on my TV.

If anyone has gotten this to work, let me know, otherwise I might just end up using the memory card I bought for the Sd2Vita in my Nintendo Switch instead and sticking with the proprietary Sony Memory cards for the Vita .

You can use USB on a vita.

As long as the PSN account linked to the memory card is present on both the Vita and the PSTV, you can swap memory cards freely between the two.

Regarding your issue, is your tai config on ux0 or ur0 for both your PSTV and your Vita, or do they use separate paths (ie PSTV uses ux0, Vita uses ur0)? They should be in the same place, with the same SD2Vita plugin for it to work properly. Can't say I've ever seen anyone have issues with it crashing on one and working fine on the other myself.

Then again I would recommend using a HDD if you have spare HDD lying around, just one that take low amp, something like 0.55A

Something like this would work, I am using this with a USB C 3.0 Enclousure.

Thanks!

I went back and checked everything and realized that on the playstation tv the gamesd.skprx was 2.81 kb while on the vita it was 2.57 kb. Recopying the gameds.skprx to the vita fixed it, I guess the file didn't transfer right before.

Glad you got it sorted

Hi guys. Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I didnt want to start a new one, when people that could help are already in one thread. How do I go about this? I just got a PSTV, and am wondering how I too can keep everything uniform between my vita and mt PSTV. Should the bubbles appear upon inserting the SD2VITA into my PSTV? Im really confused about how this would all work. Everything is already set on my vita, I just need to get everything running on my PSTV.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Im curious about this too. I would like to move my SD2VITA card from Vita TV to Vita. Im thinking just move the card and remount ux0. If it asks to format use memcardswap. Will this work?

Any chance of resuscitating this thread? In the same boat here.

delete id.dat or unlink the memory card in henkaku settings. both do the same thing. you should be able to use the memory card between them as long as it's the same account.

Thanks so much for the reply. I’m looking to swap the sd2vita between vita and Pstv, not the Sony memory card. Is that what you’re talking about?

Also, my sd2vita has been set up and in use on my vita for a few years, while the Pstv is new. Would be nice to be able to pop that sd2vita into the Pstv and use the content already loaded on it. Interested in what groundwork needed to achieve that.

 

[godreborn]

yes, you can either delete the id.dat on the micro sd card's root or use unlink memory card in henkaku settings. both do the same thing. don't worry, the id.dat will be recreated when you put it in the pstv. it contains things like firmware, device id, account id, account name. you can see the stuff if you open it with notepad++.

Awesome, thank you. Do I need to do anything to prep the Pstv? Like make sure internal storage contents resembles that on the vita? Remove the Sony mem card, which I don’t want to use?

as long as both are using sd2vita, it should work. it's very easy to swap between them.

Just to update, this worked great. Thanks for your help.

Others looking to achieve this in future, follow the advice on this thread and you’ll be good.

Sorry, but what are the prerequisites for the PSTV? What steps do you have to do on a fresh PSTV in order to just swap the SD2Vita? Do you have to put the CFw, Adrenalin and some plugins on first Or is just swapping the card enough?

I have a hacked Vita and VitaTV. Both have my PSN account. So I just leverage the cloud saves if I want to play the same game on both.

but wouldn't you need psn plus? I'm pretty sure playstation doesn't offer free cloud saving, unlike xbox.
