From TN-V setup:
2a) Extract the contents of your downloaded zip file. Place the VHBL01234, TNV, or TNV_00000 folder into your QCMA savedata directory.
Where is the savedata directory? Under C:\Program Files\QCMA there are folders: driver, imageformats, platforms, and sqldrivers. None of these have a 'savedata' folder inside them.

Can anyone help? I feel like every guide out there assumes some basic knowledge which I don't have. There's no true noob guides :-/

Oh, my apologies! The savedata dir is found at C:/Users/USER/PS Vita/SAVEDATA/random-numbers-and-letters/

I will fix the guide when I am back on my PC.

Noobie question: Everything ( henkaku, homebrew, whitelisting, pottential future backups, etc ) that applies to the Vita also applies to the PSTV, right? There are the same hardware except some I/O methods, aren't they?

Also, aside from the few big ones, what is the average size for each vita tittle?

Hi,

Appreciate any help. Do you just need to transfer a game to your vita by ftp and then install with henkaku for it to work? Is it as simple as that?

Cheers!

If it's possible to play official PSOne Classics, will it also be possible to play homemade PSOne Classics, or homemade PSP Classics for that matter?

can any1 help me? can't update manually to 3.60..

I'm using this tut: http://wololo.net/2016/08/09/manually-update-ps-vita-firmware-3-60/


My device gets disconnected whenever I choose to update from PC on the vita..


Many thanks!
You may have more luck with this tutorial: http://wololo.net/2013/04/17/lower-ps-vita-firmwares-for-dummies/

The problem with the QCMA/PC method is that it tends to be a hit-and-miss situation, and things just simply don't work sometimes without a little tweak that's not mentioned in the tutorial.

Again, the guide I linked above is more successful, and that's by my own experience doing both methods in the past as well.

Hope this bit of info helps you!

Having problem with above tut also, it says that the vita cannot connect to the internet.


oh well..


FIXED: I was using region US on the xml file, I thought my vita's region was from that.. Tried hk as well but to no avail. It was south asia = "sa"..

Hi, how do i prevent an update from 3.60 but still access the internet/browser? Thanks!
No updates are automatically downloaded in the background if you uncheck the checkbox at Settings -> System -> Auto-Start Settings -> DL Update File for Sys. Software.
But that is only for when your Vita starts up...
After that, you are completely free of any auto-updating! (Also, HENkaku mode prevents even connecting to update servers and files.)
