Hacking [UNSUCCESSFUL] I THINK I might have cracked vita piracy (35% probably not)...

[zekepliskin]

Uh... okay this sounds super interesting and I'll gladly throw the hat containing my Vita into the ring for testing. I'm guessing like the Unity PKG update we'd need the email exploit?

It's not literally a PKG file. It's savedata containing the game files, which would be installed onto your Vita.

I'm happy for you to test for me, though.
What's your Firmware version?

 

[zekepliskin]

I have two, one on 3.18 and one on 3.55. I know you've said >3.20 on the thread title but if you can get games to install via PKG that's interesting for either of them and should still apply to the 3.18 one I'd guess?

Like I said, it doesn't install through PKG files.
You'll need to test it out on your 3.18 Vita, because 3.55 patches the email exploit.

I'll send you a download link with instructions within the next hour or so, because MediaFire is uploading at a very slow speed.

Updated OP regarding the lack of testers, and I also posted a screenshot for proof that I can install it.

 

[Duo8]

Looks like I can delete updates.

So you can try the install package I linked to you?

 

[Duo8]

Yeah. Do I need any specific eml file?

There's an eml file bundled in it.

 

[Duo8]

Ok. It's late here though. I'll report back tomorrow.

 

[Bubsy Bobcat]

So, is it now time to get a Vita?

Probably yeah. But don't hold your breath; this isn't official yet.

 

[Duo8]

Ah wait it doesn't work. It says it needs to be updated but won't update.

3.20 PSTV user here who can help testing. I'd be willing to share my copy of Sword Art Online Hollow Fragment once I work things all out .

The app? What does it exactly do to make it not update?

For SAO? Not yet, I haven't looked into dumping things yet as I haven't had a need. If this method you have works, I'll gladly backup my digital games and put them up in a few places though.

Do you have the dumped contents?

That was a question for Duo8.

Sorry, I'm on a crappy connection at the moment, and clicked the wrong reply button . I meant that I don't have the dumped contents for SAO yet.

Yeah, sometimes users have a tendancy to post at the same time as well!

You should dump it and send it to me! I could really do with some paid content to turn into an installation package!

Can do, but you'll be waiting a while! On holiday at the moment, and the upload speed for this connection is dismal. That won't mix well with SAO's 3GB file size . In the mean time though, I can start the download for R&C3 if you're prepared to send that through .
