Try again with the proper icons link here.
Once again, remember to install the VPKs first (Recommend removing all the previous RA cores via CMA beforehand), and THEN FTP the icons from the pack to uR0:appmeta/, NOT uX0:appmeta/ (uR0: has no "app/" or "addcont/" folders, in case you need to know).
If you use a client such as WinSCP and get warned about overwriting folders, you're doing it right.
Restart to view changes (Because the Vita has to re-cache the icons).

uR0:appmeta/ was the key! Thanks, every guide and comment i have read before pointed to uX0:app/

The only problem left would be how to re-zip the VPK, to inject the icons and backgrounds right from the start.

Remember, drop all the RETR000x folders into ur0:/appmeta/ (NOT ux0: ).

I'm not really sure how much clearer I can make it.

...

NOTE: ur0:/ and ux0:/ are different partitions entirely...

Honestly, I'm not really sure how much clearer I can make it.

Either way, um... no problem, niuus. Glad you have it working.

Perhaps with a bigger font size like this?

UR0:appmeta/, NOT UX0:appmeta/

That would be more insulting than constructive, really.
Good suggestion though, haha.

Or wait...maybe like this:

OK...maybe I'm going overboard

Okay, you got me; THAT was gold.

I vote for using a flashing rainbow font with sparkles.

LOL. Don't feel bad or take it personal, i wasn't talking about your comments (i just omitted them), i was talking about other pages like Wololo, which pointed to uX0:app/, as i stated before.

Once the zipped VPK works for me, i am all set. Cheers =D

This was the best I could do with BBcode. Too lazy for a GIF tonight.

Is Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike playable on FBA vpk??

Not yet I'm afraid. Well, technically it is but only if you like it at ~20fps. Mind you I'm a couple of days behind the nightlies, but I don't think there's been a jump in CPS3 performance the past couple of days.

Ok. Hope to see this on vita at playable speed soon. I think that its the better Street Fighter of all time.

 

[Stwert]

I'm partial to a bit of SF III myself, still crap at it, but hey, can't be awesome at everything

Would be good to get full speed on Vita at some point but in the meantime there's plenty of other (non handheld) ways to scratch that itch.
