Hacking [RELEASE] Pkgi 0.04 - Install games directly on Vita (similar to FreeShop)

[Jaggred]

so the vita pkg downloader is called pkgi, what about the vita pkg downloader for pc? what is the name of it?

There is already pkg downlaoder for pc.
NPS_Browser, support dlcs and psm

Hmm, I am getting: Error C2-12828-1

Saved Core File Succeeded. ux0:data/psp2core-1508862332-0x0000332a29-eboot.bin.psp2dmp

Does not work for me because of this. Any clues?

NVM: Changed config file and now working good. Thanks @Byokugen for your config file.

As far as i can tell, linking to keys for games, is a violation of terms.

So instead of saying a simple "no you dont need activation" you reply with a snarky comment and you continue when I explain why I asked. I gotcha.

Anyway I'm excited to see the future of the Vita's homebrew!

I thought it was a valid question and I'm glad you ask, because now I know

Before asking something, do some research, no?

One can argue asking questions is a form of research, but fine I won't ask next time thanks.

It worka on all titles that we have, 3.60 and below. Almost 800 games so far.
Dlc support will be added soon, as well as PSM support
If you have any Q's ask.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also, you can use NPS app https://github.com/kentcdodds/nps on your pc to grab all them games, dlc and nps games

will Cytus be added when PSM is ready?

Easy install
thanks

just tried Jetpack Joyride because it's very small, at first there was error in response and doesn't register correctly, maybe i was touching the reach panel.
restarting my vita fixed the problem.

question about that pastebin, someone is going to update it with new games when new games released? i know 3.61 games doesn't work, but having those games is better then nothing.

this program need other tools to work with.
also this works on vita directly.

also, how to convert txt file to tsv?

Having an issue. It runs fine and I can download games but I'm getting "Installation Failed" when the downloads finished. Running PSTV enso and SD2VITA.

Anyone else had the same issue?

I have the same issue. Installation fails but pkgi creates the folders of the games, with all contents, into ux0:\pkgi\ folder. It seems pkgi fails its final step, like moving these game-folders from ux0:\pkgi\ to vita games' folder.

Omg thank you so much. Got it to work on my vita without any problems. Been busy downloading all the games i like. Going to set on my pstv when i get off work. I went threw all the games and apps listed but still no network media player from eu ps store.

As far as i can tell, linking to keys for games, is a violation of terms.

I'm not that familiarized with these specific keys.

The thing is. On the 3DS side, I do know that the tickets contain copyrighted content and cannot therefore be shared here.

Here... I'm not certain if that is true.

https://www.psxhax.com/threads/pkgi-download-unpack-ps-vita-pkg-files-directly-by-mmozeiko.2955/

According to that:

contentid,flags,name,name2,zrif,url,size,checksum

where:

• contentid is full content id of item, for example: UP2120-PCSE00747_00-TOWERFALLVITA000.
• flags is currently unused number, set it to 0.
• name is arbitrary UTF-8 string to display for name.
• name2 is currently unused alternative name, leave it empty.
• zrif is NoNpDrm created fake license in zRIF format, it must match contentid.
• url is http url where to download PKG, pkg content id must match the specified contentid.
• size is size of pkg in bytes, or 0 if not known.
• checksum is sha256 digest of pkg as 32 hex bytes to make sure pkg is not tampered with. Leave empty to skip the check.

None of that seems to be copyrighted content as far as I can see.

I am wondering how long pkgi or nps browser would work before sony block them?

Doubt they will block it at all. Doubt they'll change the download URL for the PKG files, and the rest... Well, they can't really stop it.

they would need all devs for every game to send a request in to change there keys around for every game they released and in each region i believe so this will be impossible to patch at this point but sony isnt worried since 3.60 only as of now.

Obvious is obvious

Yup, when screen goes to sleep, download keeps on. Plus, interupted downloads will continue

False, please read the OP link:

https://www.psxhax.com/threads/pkgi-download-unpack-ps-vita-pkg-files-directly-by-mmozeiko.2955/

Current limitations:

• no support for DLC or PSM.
• no queuing up multiple downloads.
• no background downloads - if application is closed or Vita is put in sleep then download will stop.

False, please read https://www.psxhax.com/threads/pkgi-download-unpack-ps-vita-pkg-files-directly-by-mmozeiko.2955/

i've tested downloading uncharted GA which is big game, download speed around 200kbps so it took around 2:30 hours to download the full game, i left my vita downloading and now i opened it and found it was finished downloading, i had to press the home button to wake up my vita.
