So I installed NPS Browser on my PC and set it up all right my question now is how do I get the game to show itself as a Bubble on the Vita homescreen

It's not a PSX Game its a VITA Game
You copy the app folder it created to ux0: on the Vita using VitaShell or, with SD2Vita, a MicroSD reader. In VitaShell, press Triangle, then Refresh the LiveArea and the Licenses. It won't show up until both are done.

After downloading, NPS Browser (in its default settings) should have extracted the game to a folder, named as the TITLE ID of the game. For example, Phantasy Star Nova is PCSG00351, so there should be a folder named like that.

Copy this folder via Vitashell to your ux0:app/ folder. If you have other games installed, you will notice that this "app" folder has various folders named with a similar structure (PCSG00351, PCSG00141, etc.). These are the games/apps installed on your Vita.

After that, you just need to go to the root of Vitashell (from where you can see all of the partitions, like ur0:, ux0:, etc.), press triangle, and select ""Refresh Livearea..."; wait for it to finish and it should say "Refreshed X items...", with X being the number of games (or DLC) that you just copied and Vitashell detected (here you can check if what you copied wasn't recognized when you read how many items were refreshed).

Afterwards, you can go to to your Livearea and the bubble should be there. I'd recommend rebooting your Vita anyway, as some games require a reboot for the DLC to be recognized, though this is extremely rare (you can reboot from Vitashell if you don't want to go back to your Livearea, too).

And, that's all. Your game is now on your Livearea. You can update it from there if you want.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
