Hi guys, as the title says, which is the cheapest psp game that can be used to load the eCFW on a european Vita on 3.01 firmware?
Thanks in advance

Hmm, take this info with a grain of salt since im not that knowledgeable about this particular topic.

First, the newest firmware blocks all exploits, so how do you even want to go to the psn store without updating your system? The large exploit leak was with firmware 3.18.

Here you can find a list of exploit games with recommendations which to buy for your region:

But like i said, the exploit was released months ago, with system patches and surely game patches inbetween~

I have got a ps3, so I don't need to be on the latest firmware. Anyway, does the numblast demo also work or do I have to purchase the complete game?

id upgrade to 3.18 firmware and go from there, but if you want to stay on 3.01 then buy Numblast, its the fastest loading exploit and you dont have to press anything to trigger it.

No you cannot install demos any more, sony put a stop to it.

My opinion if I was you and I think Mech will agree with me as well, get Space Invaders Extreme for ecfw and for PS1 Loader get Superbike 2. They maybe a little bit more expensive in PSN Store but you can do lots more with these two exploit games that others cannot and also nice and easy to load up the exploits. :)

Edit: I also have a PSVita on 3.01FW and all works great thanks to the very good help of mech ;)

I know that there are two games that allow playing ps one games at full speed, but what is the difference between numblast and space invaders? Except for the quality difference of those two games obviously.

Numblast = no buttons need to be pressed, just load the game up and it will go strait to ePSP menu (only works up to 3.01)
Space invaders extreme = load game and skip intros, goto options then press on high score and it will put you into ePSP, (works up to 3.18) - 3.18 has the best stability for the PS1 loaders.

all in all the numblast is way faster, the space invaders extreme will let you update to 3.18 if you so wish and still use the same exploit as on 3.01... difference between the 2 is probably 5 seconds and some finger movement,

You can also use Vita Half Byte Loader with Space Invaders Extreme as well, the other games you cannot but you need to be on 3.15FW and below to use that game if not, to use another exploit game you need to be on 2.61FW or below which obviously alot lower FW for your Vita to be on!. Problem is you cant run it with ePSP because the two files are the same code so you either run 138Menu/VHBL or just the regular ePSP menu and in my opinion the ePSP menu one is better anyway but the choice is there for the both exploits :)

Also make sure you try out gpSP v3.4 and test out your GBA roms in fullscreen on your PSVita, it looks and plays fantastic on the Vita, really brings the good old Gameboy Advance game back to life with the likes of Mario & Luigi, Mario Kart, Zelda games and on the high resolution PSVita screen, it looks and feels the best emulation ever, so much better than the DSTWO Supercard and any emulation on the actual 3DS units or for any unit fore that matter, I know the buttons wont match what it tells you on the screen but the control method is quite easy to work out anyway, make sure you try it out!

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @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

    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
