Backup your Tai config and any plugins it uses to your PC, then just do a system restore to wipe the account, set it up with whatever account you want, reinstall Henkaku, then restore your Tai config backup and plugins to get your SD2Vita working. Pretty much as simple as that.


Not sure about your QCMA issue (still working fine for me, just tried and I'm on same firmware), could be a number of things (like wrong drivers installed, some config option not set, etc).

But for PSN, no, there's no workaround beyond updating your firmware.

Switching drivers did the trick. Thanks!

Hello guys!
New question

I downloaded a lot of games through NPS Browser. Almost 180gb of games.
I dont want to transfer to Vita via VitaShell, because I am afraid that it will cause some burning-in or Vita go to sleep mode.

I use a SD2Vita (5.0), how can I transfer my games to the microSD card via SD adapter plugged on PC? Its mounted as ux0 on Vita and when I tried to read the microsd directly on PC, I cant see the app and addcount folders.

enable show hidden files and folders and os system files to show everything on the micro sd. if you want to transfer them on the pc, place the games in the app folder, then refresh the livearea in vita shell. I don't think burn in is an issue if you want to do this on the vita. I can't recall if it goes to sleep though. you might try it by pushing the power button while it's downloading just to check.

Thanks! @godreborn

Okay,
I have a Vita with 3.60 Henkaku Enso (-11), with S2VITA 5.0 as ux0 that have 200GB. I used NPS Browser to download 120GB of games. I taked care to download the compPack and DLCs. At the end, the download dir have these 3 folders:
app - games
addcont - dlcs
rePatch - patchs

And a lot of PPK and PKG files. I readed the readme from NoPayStation and is said to only transfer this 3 folders to ux0 root, Refresh LiveArea with VitaShell and its gone. I did this, the transfer was concluded and i tried to refresh Live Area. Only 30 games from the list of 78 appears and dont have more space.

I did something wrong? The microSD is original, i tested with H2Testw and its fine. Is something i need to do with this PPK and PKG files from NPS Browser?

Example attached

Hey all, okay i got few questions.

1. how do i add my own custom music manually? I have tried using the content manager but its asking me to link a psn account which im afraid its going to update so i canceled it. Is there another way to do this?

2. I got vitashell to refresh the live area to see if any games pop up and ive got nothing. Im using terria and minecraft first then i have other games too. These are nonpdumps.

1) Use QCMA. You don't have to update when it's setup properly. Make sure you completely uninstall Sony's CMA if you're using it.

2). Is the NoNPDRM plugin setup properly? Did you put the games in the proper folder?

QCMA is asking for a registered ps vita system, yet the vita is connected by usb to the pc. How do I register it?

The NoNPDRM plugin is in ux0:tai/nonpdrm.skprx
the config.txt there too has the first line under kernal as ux0:tai/nonpdrm.skprx
the games are put in ux0:app/
so example ux0:app/PCSE00317/ should be terraria right but it doesn't show in livearea
im guessing its installed right or im missing something?

---- games are working!
i had to refresh license database as well as livearea in vitashell.

Hi everyone, my ps vita randomly updated to 3.65 and molecular shell and vita shell are only opening safe mode. Because I lost all my previous stuff due to the mistake of using a dodgy sd card I was only left with vita shell. How do I get enso back in safe mode. Also I can not turn off safe mode in the settings because the option is not there.

Reinstall Henkaku in 3.65: https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/h-encore

After this, install Enso: https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/enso

Just another quick question. I have molecular shell installed and got it working again so could I just go ahead and install enso or just in case install h-encore?

Same here. I think you need to install filezilla in your PC. Connect Vita to PC. Download pkgi and transfer from PC to Vita .Install pkgi. Download game straight from pkgi.

Silly question, but I gotta ask. Say you have a legit Vita running on 3.69 and a hacked Vita still at 3.60. Can you download games from the PSN store to the legit Vita, transfer them to your PC with QMCA, then put them on your Vita with the older firmware and play them there?

My legit Vita will run all the games I stored on my PC years ago. However, I recently bought a copy of Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins from the PSN store, and that will not work on my hacked system. Is there a way to strip the firmware requirements out of that game and force it to play nice with my older, hacked system?

Yeh u should be able to use compatibility pack.
https://github.com/dots-tb/rePatch-reDux0/releases
With that plugin. U can get autoplugin app for vita and it can install the plugin for u automatically or grab from link above and add line to tai config.
If you have pkgj you can download the actual compatibility packs with that. Autoplugin can also setup pkgj config for u also

As for back up games idk if vitas would need to have same ps account logged to.
But on hacked vita nonpdrm plugin should allow to play games u have backed up

Hi
i never hacked a ps vita/tv, but luckily, i didnt used my device for a long time...both are 3.60

noob questions....is there a chance that my psn account gets banned?
how can i transfer games, as ps store is not working with old version

and the reason why i thought about upgrading..i wanted to use my ps vita/tv for remote play of my ps4's, so is there a way to pair them even on older firmware?

Hey guys,

I just got a PS Vita PCH-1000 on firmware 1.05 from Japan, and I've set it to my region. I'm trying to install firmware 3.60 using the Henkaku update server, but I keep getting the following error-code:

C3-10693-3

Is this a problem on my end or is the server down or something? When I try to access the server from vita.hacks.guide for example, it shows me the available update for 3.65 as expected.
