On the PSTV, holding the L button at start is not as easy.

I can't get it to work with a Dualshock 4, only Dualshock 3 and Sixaxis.

Controller has to be wired to the PSTV.

Sorry, I haven't tried a hard drive mod with PSTV yet so I can't guide you further on that.

Once you have started without plugins, you can use VitaShell in ur0 tai to edit the storage manager config text.

The vita got recovery mode. Hold Powerbutton for 30sec or longer. See this threat

Use this tutorial for your vita:
https://vita.hacks.guide

Normaly The taifolder on the main partition needs to copied your desired drive. And the tai- folder inside the vita needs to be deleted or better renamed.
Then u need to configure the different Drives with a manager and activate the pluged in usb drive in Vitashell.

I can confirm (just tested), recovery works with PSTV.

The dualshock 4 works with recovery mode, still needs to be connected via USB cord.

That would allow a full system restore.

I allready try recovery mode, but when I select rebuild database nothing happen, still on boot loop, Didn´t try other option because I don´t want to lose my hack (enso), I have an official sony memory card that when is inserted have vitashell.

restoring the system will not remove enso, but it will delete your account and the contents of the tai folder. it's designed this way in case of catastrophic problems like yours.

it will rebuild them though. if you could at least get into the livearea, you could go into henkaku settings and recreate the config.txt or rather create a new one.

if you system restore, remove the usb device in case it's been read as ux0 but not working. I think it will try to format it iirc.

ok, so I make a restore after boot in safe mode, should I keep inserted my memory card? (it has vitashell on it)?

once you're done, shut down the system when you go through initial setup, then insert the memory card and see if it rebuilds the database. also check if you henkaku settings in system settings.

Just checking a few things.

Your hard drive is powered with it's own power adapter?

Formatted to exFat?

The drive has been imaged with zzblank.img?

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way
