About to hack my 3.73 PSVita 2000. Got a 256gb card and an SD2Vita adapter. Considering it won't be full enso (right? at 3.73?) can I use that to download and store the games I have bought on PSN through the official store, or would that lead to a ban? Will they only show up on the henkaku main menu, considering they'll be on the SD2Vita? Is the SD2Vita only good for ports of PC games like GTAIII, Quake II etc, or rips I make myself? Should I hack it with the SD2vita and card inside? Anything I should look out for, or consider doing to make the experience better? Is Adrenaline still the go to method for my PSOne rips? Any sign of a native vita wrapper? I'm confused as to why there isn't one based off of the PSOne emulation that is available on Vita. I just played through a PSOne game on vita and it worked great. Any answers would be appreciated. Cheers!

They really wouldn't be able to detect that I'm in Enso if I boot up the PSN store? Is there a way to download my legit games through my profile library without launching the store? Kinda nervous about this bit haha.

Sorry @256BitLink ,i didn't understand if you want to downgrade as well,after hacking the 3.73 firmware.
However if you want to downgrade from your 3.73 firmware,you need to install modoru 2.1 and then install Henso 3.65!

OK cool thanks.

But, I'm having a problem right out of the game. The FinalHE program is not detecting my USB connected Vita, even though the Content Manager app on my PC detects it just fine. I can't click 'Let's GO' in FinalHE at all. Anyone know what's up?

It's ok, I got it eventually, had to install that driver.

Now I think I'm done, I can't install Henkaku from the site and proceed, but this is only a step for lower firmwares right? Or is that Enso? Should Henkaku be available to install from this site on all units? It's telling me that because I'm above 3.72 it can't install. I have h-encore2 and vitashell, where do I go from here?

Got as far as trying to get SD2vita installing, bit of a mess here. Getting the 'File is Corrupt' error :( I unhid all files in the folder in windows before transferring over the new memory card, but there were no individual files to find at the root, only this directory, is this ok for a clean install?

Or, is there something going on with the sd2vita adapter itself? Hard to diagnose this problem.

Following this video , restarted in safe mode, now I've lost H-encore2 :( Used to work, even with this SD2vita problem, now it shuts down the unit :(

Uninstall CMA and install QCMA and make sure it's not running

Got through that earlier, right now it's the SD2Vita problem I am having, and how it seems to have corrupted the whole cfw apps... I'm wondering if there is stuff missing from that directory pic above?

Vitashell etc won't boot, say they're corrupted, like in the video I posted. Also QCMA has broken my Vita USB connectivity completely CMA was picking up my vita fine not so anymore.

Any ideas @NeoGranzon?

Looks like you didn't copy your entire ux:0 partition to new sd card? This should preserve your already installed games and can take a while to ftp if you have GB's.

Install Hencore + Vitashell
Downgrade to 3.65 with Moduro 2.1
Install enso
Vitashell - Copy Ux:0 to new sd card - (delete config if one inside tai folder) Format 64kb cluster if bigger than 128GB
Put micro and sd2vita in vita (Brand new sd2vitas can be tight - Insert gently LOL)
Run auto plugin and install sd2vita or manually setup
Reboot and if your cart slot orange light starts flashing during boot sequence then Vita is reading from your micro sd card.

I then install npdrm, pkgi, mai, Retroarch, Adrenaline, Pfba etc

Quite frankly, I doubt they care. I've had my Vita on 3.60 for the longest time, never bothered to try to hide any hacks. Still not banned. As for the SD2Vita, as far as the Vita itself is concerned, it's just a memory card.

Cool thanks. Do you think I need to completely re-do the job maybe? Maybe the fact that it's a 256gb card but I used default allocation instead of 64kb cluster is one place where I went wrong? Would you recommend a factory reset and then a complete redo? h-encore2 app is ok, but vita shell is corrupt and I don't seem to have molecular shell anymore...

Re-do SD Card with right cluster size or you will have issues. No need to factory reset. Corrupt because you didnt copy ux0.

Install Hencore>Vitashell - Then with vitashell I ftp my whole UX:0 to a folder on my desktop - Then after formating micro sd card with blank image then formatting again with right cluster size I copy my UX:0 contents to micro sd card.

OK re-formated the card, waiting on that.

Tried installing enso, thought I couldn't the first time due to base firmware on vita or something, it certainly failed when trying to install it off the site, but now when I use the repo version 1.1 it's saying it's failing to load the kernel?
