Is there a workaround for errors deleting files? For files that are either long themselves or part of a long path, Vitashell, OneMenu, and some FTP programs all fail to handle requests to delete. For individual undeletable files, I can at least move the folder but not the file. Is it a filesystem driver issue?

What about when using a file browser directly on the PS3, like Irisman file browser?
edit: sorry I missed the Vita part

If you are deleting the vpk files after installing then just use vitashell to delete the vpk.

It's error 0x80010058. I found a workaround: In Vitashell, Move the folder to the root and then you're able to delete it. I also noticed that Eleven MPV (mp3 player) can't play mp3s that are nested 5 or so directories deep. I'm guessing EXFAT support is wonky or YAMT / USBMC (I have YAMT) have issues.

You can try storagemgr if yamt give you problem.

Would you recommend one over the other? How easy is it to switch? I don't wanna get locked out as I have no internet to re-Hen. But if I can get my PSVSD installed, I wanna choose right.

Beats me. I only assume this could be a filesystem issue as every file manager I know had the problem. I don't know a thing about YAMT other than it's what my Vita came configured with.

YAMT is a mounting tool, there are only two different files manager , Vitashell and molecular shell.

Have you tried using Long Path Tool? I have been using it for months now for deleting files with long names or long path. It has made my life easier.

Nope. Never heard of it and never saw it in the Vita Homebrew Database either. Doesn't seem to be an issue on PC, and as I don't have a PC, I had to improvise with my Vita. To answer others, I'm using YAMT Full. I also use OneMenu's file manager as a backup when Vitashell crashes and can't boot (clear the recent folder, etc).

    Why do you really want to use key shops nowadays? You're not really paying towards the companies who provided the keys, plus its very sketchy.

    https://gg.deals/game/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/ - I rather use the proper shops, but here are Key shops shown as well. They tell you the risks as well with each shop

    One of the keyshops is 95% off at the moment (probably humble bundle keys)

    And a small percentage of keys bought with a stolen credit card.

    You never know if the key works or not, they don't provide a guarantee.

    Sure is... and poor devs get hit with the charge backs

    Exactly.

    devs don't get hit with the chargebacks, the keys are free to generate

    at least on steam
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Except he said the DEVS get hits with the chargeback cost
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    since the key gets bought with a stolen credit card
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    there's nothing to charge back because the keys don't cost them money to generate in the first place
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If the game has a crack sure
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most these crack sites have dead links anymore or the crack don't even work
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    @The Real Jdbye What don't you get? If someone use a stolen creditcard. Then sell said key on G2A. If I the dev sold the game key, I will get the charge back cost. That's how it works, it doesn't matter if I generate 300 keys if 300 of them are bought with stolen credit cards. I never said it was on Steam, but its the dev that gets hit. There is a ton of stories out there if you google it.
