Hacking Downsides to hacking Vita?

[CTR640]

my vita actually came with 3.63

buyer said it was on 3.55, going to double check that it was at some point on that version.. if so I can downgrade to 3.60 right?

Yes, you can downgrade to 3.60 or upgrade to 3.65 without problem. Just make sure the battery is atleast 50% but of course Modoru will prevent downgrading if it's under 50% so noobproof. If you plan on to use enso, make sure not to use enso_ex!!
Enso_ex are for experienced users so not for those that do not know how to use it properly.

Agreed, agreed. There's a lot wrong with DMCA, starting with the 99-0 senate vote that passed it.

dmca is relatively well balanced. It might come down slightly more favourable to the "you must never copy anything" and the "I must always be allowed to copy everything". The lack of enforcement more than makes up for that, laws aren't expected to be enforced in every situation.

Piracy... My ass. Here in the EU the sellers are fucking greedy and asking more than 100€ for one single physical game! And when I wanted to get it from PSN, it got removed. And then the publishers complains and bitch about piracy? Lol, what a load of giant horse shit... Of course there are sellers outside EU too but asking ridiculous prices too and yet it got signes of heavy use.

Lambourghini's are really expensive too, stealing one is therefore fine? People pirate because they want to pirate, if you don't want to then you'll just move on. Trying to justify your actions because of others is kinda lame.

That's a really lame comparison, apples to oranges. What about the games you really want to buy but they have been discontinued? I wanted to get the physical versions of the games I want but nowhere to found here.

What about them? You either choose piracy, choose to pay the going rate, or wait until it's cheaper.

It's your choice, just don't delude yourself you have any kind of moral/legal high ground.

Only legal owners get that.

Did you read what I wrote? They have been discontinued! Nowhere to be found... How am I supposed to get them legit? What is this subforum for??

Only legal owners get that.

What are you impying? I'm a thief? Don't judge before you know the reasons. I've got the money to get them legal but if they are simply nowhere to be found or discontinued, then there is no chance to het them.

Yes I read what you wrote, it appears you didn't bother to read what I wrote.

Just because you can't buy something now doesn't give you a legal/moral right to pirate it, it only increases your desire to pirate it. You seem to have a real sense of entitlement, wanting to pirate games but at the same time blame someone else for it.

It's not the developers fault that you tried to buy it too late, or don't have enough money to buy it second hand.

This subforum is for hacking and homebrew.

Read my last edited reply. And you seem to have a real sense to judge someone before you know the real reason. I don't have the desire at all to pirate.

 

[smf]

I don't have the desire at all to pirate.

So don't then, problem solved. Nobody is holding a gun to your head.

Problem still not solved...

 

[smf]

Yes problem solved. You don't need games to survive, if you have no desire to pirate then just don't do it.

I'm a thief?

You feel entitled to games, you see piracy as the solution. That is why everyone pirates.

So I guess to return to the original question, is there any downside to hacking Vita? Haha

Are there any themes you’d recommend? Does it affect performance or battery?

Also any other weird things you can do with a hacked Vita that may not be common knowledge to everyone?

I can't see any downsides at all.
There are plugins that can (theoretically) improve battery life. Using SD2Vita or similar storage alternatives can have a negligible decrease in battery life.
Overclocking is awesome, but obviously affects battery consumption, however it's 100% awesome on a PSTV that has no battery to worry about. ReScaler is great for the titles that support the upscale - and in conjunction with overclocking with LOLIcon it's one of the best features of an exploited Vita.

That's a very strong accusation you got there about me... No, I'm not entitled to games and to pirate at all and if there are games out there I want, I simply get them in a legal way.

Ok, someone else must have posted this from your account earlier. You might want to change your password and make sure you logout.

Anyway, pkgj is very easy. Before I knew about pkgj, I had to download games manually on Windows pc. And not to mention the cooldowns before I can download a part of the .rar/.zip file. Like part1, part2 and so on.

I tried to join online mode a few times with a hacked psvita with cfw 3.65. Still not banned.

Even if you got the money, the physical versions aren't worth it. And they mostly have signs of wear too and not to mention you would have to keep switching the physical versions and therefore you'll lose the ability to use the sd2vita too.

That's true. And yet I don't have the desire to pirate them at all. I was looking for rare stuff like the accessoires for mypsvita's and during the search, eBay was showing ads or sponsors of the physical versions. That's how I wrote about it.

 

[playstays_shun]

if i have sd2vita set up with autoplugin, I can download PSP + PS1 games from PSN to the SD card or just vita games?

Im pretty sure I can store all three on it, but just want to be sure

 

[smf]

So let me get this clear, you're saying that you pirate games.

"Anyway, pkgj is very easy. Before I knew about pkgj, I had to download games manually on Windows pc."

But that you buy the games you want.

"if there are games out there I want, I simply get them in a legal way."

But you don't want to pirate games.

So you're breaking the law even though you don't want to, to get games you don't want? Seems like a waste of effort really.

Yes, if everything is setup properly then you can run ps1, psp & vita games from sd.

Originally I wanted to install the hack so I could perhaps watch .mkv on the psvita because the .mp4 were really big in size. Later I discovered the developer has canceled the development and had no idea there are sd2vitas. And I already had games in physical version and downloaded the NFS game for psvita to try it out and found out this game has no options to edit the buttons for driving which is a really bummer for me because I can't handle the game's default button settings. Removed it after that. Would have liked to add Rayman and DBZ games to my collection but haven't used my psvita for gaming for months except watching series on it.

So when you said you used to have to download on windows and now you switched to pkgj, it was only to download NFS and then you deleted it?

Your outburst in favour of piracy was just frustration?

No, testing before buying.

1. Yea it's safe the only people that have been banned so far are people that played games before release as far as i know. Ps4 primary account on vita is needed for remote play

2. Nonpdrm is only needed for any downloaded games from pkgj.
If you bought the games they'll work just fine even ps+ games will work just fine as long as you have ps+

3. Spoofing is for psn and online playing mostly, if you want to play >3.60 games you just have to install refood plugin and you'll be good to go.

4. Honestly i recommend just downloading the games from pkgj it's alot faster, i used to dump my physical games too, but getting them from pkgj is basically the same thing, you'll still need nonpdrm installed either way. Updated you can download normally, and dlc you can get from ps store or from pkgj as well.

I recommend you install enso and then these apps asap!
Autoplugin
Vhbb
Adrenaline
Custom themes manager
Adrenaline bubble manager
Save manager plus
Database manager
Shortcuts enhancer
Vita backup

how does one go about embedding updates into nonpdrm rips? same way as if one were updating from having cartridge in catridge slot, with that orange download arrow at splash screen of game?
