ARK and TN-V don't work on 3.57 and up, so no... :(

If I have an unhacked vita on 3.60 whats steps should I follow to play both psp and vita backups?
Again, ePSP kernel exploits were patched on 3.57 and up, so no PSP backups yet.
However, you can search the internet for Vita backups in dumped VPK format and install via VitaShell.

Just a question does a vita with 1.80 version compatible with henkaku?
Nope. You must manually update to 3.60 if you want to access HENkaku/Native Vita homebrew/backups. It is the only firmware HENkaku will support for the time being.
Alternatively, you can update to a firmware between 3.00-3.52 for easy-access to PSP hacks and exploits, including running PSP homebrew and backups in an eCFW such as TN-V or ARK.

Either way, you're going to need to manually update your Vita like I mentioned:

Can I change the psn account without updating the vita? (the vita is on 3.60)

Also, Is it safe to connect the vita to wifi? or will it download the update and try to install it by itself?

I'm confused. Can I manually update my pre 3.6x Vita to 3.60? If so, can I and run PSP and Vita homebrew and isos from 3.60?

Edit: Found the answer in another thread.

Does any of these methods allow you to play other region games in a different region account and still connect to PSN?
No hacks, backups, ISOs, I just want to play my asian stuff on my US account.

You should add another part to the app.db editing process for those that have a PSTV/VitaTV

To get rid of that cruddy Featured Apps tab, just remove all references to the following App ID in the following databases:

APPID: NPXS10102

Databases:

tbl_appinfo
tbl_livearea
tbl_livearea_file (find under dir)
tbl_livearea_frame

Some tables won't let you delete their contents due to SQLite triggers. Ignore them and continue deleting anything you can.

Reboot the PSTV.

Upon reboot, the PSTV will error. Press "OK" and the Featured Apps tab is now gone.
If you rebuild the database, it will come back, but otherwise it's gone for good.

Credits to SMOKE587 for originally discovering the technique.

If someone made an app for this, that would be cool.
I gave this a try, but it didn't quite work... I was able to delete every reference to NPXS10102 in the first two databases, but the SQLite editor wouldn't let me delete any of the records that referenced NPXS10102 in the latter two (livearea_file and livearea_frame). I know you said to ignore them and delete anything I can, but it just wouldn't let me delete anything at all, and I don't get why.
Of course, when I tried to import the edited app.db and reboot, it simply kicked me over to safe mode where I had to rebuild the database. :(


Never mind, I'm an idiot. I just found this tool, and it worked first try.

Upgrade to firmware 3.18 and no higher, buy a PSP and PSX exploit game and take it from there, you will need a PS3 for a few mins though.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
