nice work, Yugi. I'm wondering if the same trick would fix official Youtube and Facebook apps that have been discontinued and are no longer available on PSN (same text as in Skype app on live area and message when you try to run them). Youtube one was actually a great app and I used it alot (worked a lot better than in-browser solution).

They will not work because the servers are closed. Sony had control of the servers and they closed it, so it will not work.

I found the links on another website which didn't clearly show how to install. I could be a jerk and upload the files under my name but I'm not

Really? maybe because I used some elements from the tutorial that was posted. And btw It was in spanish I believe, so not only did I rewrite it for new comers, I translated it as well.

unfortunately my vita was upgraded to 3.65 and skype can't start. How can I downgrade it to 3.63 ?

unfortunately, you cannot do this without changing your motherboard.

Hello,
I am on 3.60 and Skype no longer works (it tells me it cannot connect, with valid or invalid password, the message is the same).
Do you have the same problem? Is Skype on PS Vita really over?
