Hacking [RELEASE]Moon Whitelister - Play whitelist-blocked games on the PlayStation (Vita) TV

[gnmmarechal]

Moon Whitelister is my own implementation of the whitelist patch described here. Since the whitelist resets when you shut down the system, you must run this application every time you boot (after enabling HENkaku, of course), if you want to play blocked games (like Gravity Rush, WipeOut 2048, etc.).

You can download this application through my website:

Spoiler: About the other whitelist app

This doesn't use any code from the other available whitelist app. About the similarities between icons/images used, that's because I was the one who made them for the other app in the first place, and even then I didn't really have any ideas, so I ended up re-using those and changing the colour of the icon and adding a Lua logo. Also, I came up with the idea to automate this before the author published his app, so I decided to do it anyway to check out LPP-Vita.

Difference between this and, this http://wololo.net/2016/07/29/re-enable-pstv-whitelist-3-60-ps-vita-henkaku/ ???

it is my own implementation to try LPP-Vita.

If you could point me to a more recent patch, I'd certainly add it.

Hey, this looks to be a very useful application for users! The fact that it patches automatically at the touch of a button will make it even easier and quicker than the existing methods at the moment!

To install the v2 whitelist hack you need to execute the following SQL query on app.db

CREATE TRIGGER CHANGE_CATEGORY_GPC AFTER INSERT ON tbl_appinfo WHEN new.val LIKE 'gpc' BEGIN UPDATE tbl_appinfo SET val='gdb' WHERE key='566916785' and titleid=new.titleid; END; CREATE TRIGGER CHANGE_CATEGORY_GP AFTER INSERT ON tbl_appinfo WHEN new.val LIKE 'gp' BEGIN UPDATE tbl_appinfo SET val='gdb' WHERE key='566916785' and titleid=new.titleid; END; CREATE TRIGGER CHANGE_CATEGORY_GDC AFTER INSERT ON tbl_appinfo WHEN new.val LIKE 'gdc' BEGIN UPDATE tbl_appinfo SET val='gdb' WHERE key='566916785' and titleid=new.titleid; END; CREATE TRIGGER CHANGE_CATEGORY_GD AFTER INSERT ON tbl_appinfo WHEN new.val LIKE 'gd' BEGIN UPDATE tbl_appinfo SET val='gdb' WHERE key='566916785' and titleid=new.titleid; END;

Huh, apparently, I won't be able to do this in Lua. I'll look into doing it in C, but I have little experience with it, so I might end up not doing it.

Once again, whats the difference between your implemtnatation ?

huh, it's written in Lua. That's it.

Huh, @Rinnegatamante seems to have started work on a v1+v2 patcher
If he gets that to work, it'll be cool.

EDIT: is v2 permanent, and is it a replacement for v1, or must it be used alongside v1?

Oh, thanks, this will be useful for me when I try to get an PSTV
(Fiquei surpreendido seres Português)

 

[yifan_lu]

Why don't you white list people update the version dat too? Then it shouldn't reset on reboot/update.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Well until someone find a way to play my castlevania dracula x on my pstv i shall be there.

I'm quite certain it's possible with the whitelist hack.

Huh, what do you mean exactly? I'll look into it, if possible it'll be awesome. I'll boot my PC in a little while to research this.

 

[gnmmarechal]

Apparently, the suggestion by @yifan_lu does not work. As such, I'm making a PC app to autopatch app.db and apply the (permanent until db rebuild) whitelist v2 patch.

 

[yifan_lu]

Why do you need a pc app? You can build sqlite for vita.

 

[gnmmarechal]

@Rinnegatamante started writing a v2 patcher for the Vita with SQLite, but apparently sqlite for the Vita seems to broken, and he didn't get it to work.

 

[gnmmarechal]

Note : apparently, a fix for sqlite is coming soon, so Rinnegatamante's app will work soon, making both Whitelist and Moon Whitelister obsolete.

 

[gnmmarechal]

Awesome stuff, @Rinnegatamante got his v1+v2 patcher to work.
