If someone could install Wipeout 2048 I woud need the MD5 of the file if possible. The install doesn't even start with the file I have, I get an error as soon as i try to install it (EU version).

This is only in Docked that you have to do that, you have front and back touchscreen support in handheld

Thanks, good to know!

I just happened to randomly learn from reddit that Vita3K currently has an issue that stops progression later in the Uncharted game, so I'm not gonna start playing it yet. Issue comes in Chapter 13 when you're supposed to hold the camera on the back of your Vita up to a bright light, to shine light through a parchment so you can see something hidden.

It sounds like Vita3K on PC has actual camera support, but not currently working for this purpose, obv the Switch doesn't have a camera so this would have to be faked somehow, maybe implementing the right kind of fakery would get this game feature working without having to wait for the real camera fix upstream?

Thank you so much @Nagaa for your work. About install pkg file, I think it would be great if this function have input for zRIF_key.txt, instead of typing, because zRIF key is very long.

You should use work.bin instead for pkg install, much easier

On the PC version of vita3k there are properly functioning links for the PUP files.

Yeah, this seems to be the easiest way to get all 3 files, but for whatever reason, after installing these Muramasa no longer boots.

When loading The Legend of Heroes: Sora No Kiseki FC Evolution, the software crashes after displaying "Confirming system save file".

Similar deal with Luftrausers, it crashes after the auto save message. But I just noticed something strange, yesterday I didn't actually install the firmware, I only selected the "open file manager for PUP files", thinking that was enough to install it, and Muramasa still booted, but after properly installing all 3 firmware files, it just shows the game's logo and then gets stuck in a black screen, I even tried booting the game without the firmware like yesterday, but it doesn't boot anymore.

how was the games performance without overclocking?

I solved the problem; reinstalling the latest system firmware resolved it.

im trying to get the amazing spiderman to run but it keeps crashing any help?

Ligeia · 2026-09-01T08:43:58+0100

Every time I try to go back to launcher from a game it freezes or crashes.

I see you've added an option for using personal images as covers which is great.

Some games I tried :
- Arcana Heart 3 Love Max : plays fine
- Mortal Kombat 9 : plays fine
- One Piece Burning Blood : plays fine
- Street Fighter x Tekken : fights take a long time to load but plays fine otherwise
- Dragon Ball Z Battle of Z : long loading times, once I had a neverending loading screen before a fight, random freezes during fights
- Secret of Mana remake : plays fine
- Dengeki Bunko - Fighting Climax Ignition : plays fine
- J-Stars Victory Vs+ : it froze before starting a fight but I'll need to try this one again

Overall I'm very impressed, it seems emulation is better than PS2 games, especially for 3D games.

Trails in the Sky FC works perfectly

But how can I back to the Vita3K menu?

The games I tested where still "playable", but I wouldn't recommend it because they regularly experienced slow downs that way. But maybe some light Vita games can be played even without overclocking. On the other hand normal v1 cpu overclocking is enough to make the games I want to play very enjoyable.

Ligeia · 2026-09-01T13:06:31+0100

I can't get Uncharted to work, it always freezes or crashes during the first loading screen, any specific settings I should use for this one ?

Zumoly · 2026-09-01T15:18:03+0100

Where are the installed games stored?
nvm: found it

tehrzky · 2026-09-01T15:45:37+0100

-tales of hearts r, it stuck sometimes on loading screen. so beware on jrpgs with this kind of problem. you cannot save anywhere.

-freedom wars, after typing your name it just freeze on that screen.

Thanks @Nagaa for another amazing port
I was trying out Gravity Rush, and the game itself runs great, but it seems that gyro is being read flipped. Moving the controller horizontally will turn the screen vertically, and viceversa. This happens both on handheld and docked with Joy-Cons/Pro Controller.

Yea, the very same. I guess Nagaa already knows about that: https://github.com/NaGaa95/Vita3K-nx/issues/4
