Converting an installed title into a VPK?

[Deleted member 42501]

How does one do this? I've got an RA installation that I wish to backup in order to try another version. Reason being is the old one I have is very customized so I can't just reinstall the old VPK.

Is this possible?

Tri zipping it, then renaming the extension to vpk.

I heard you can do that to transfer but from something already installed on the VIta? How would that work?

Is there a Vita side way of doing this where it can create an installable like GM9 allows on 3DS?

The only way to make a vpk normally that I know of is the vita sdk.

Really? I'm quite sure there was an app to do it Vita side. How else do you see these mods/ports on pirate sites as I don't think everyone is going that far.

Afaik, they're just zipping up the contents. Why not try it?

How exactly would that work? There are the RA data files as well as the others on the card? What do you do? Copy them over using the folder structure and zip that on the computer then rename as VPK?

Yes
