Great if you forgot to install vita shell altogether, meaning you have updated to "enso 3.65" and you have no vitashell on your vita or memory card

this will install vitashell directly to the internal memory of the vita if you don't have a memory card, or to the memory card directly

(from 64bit windows run qcma, use first driver install option (or second), select "use this version for updates 3.60 (HENKAKU)" from qcma option, then connect your vita/pstv to network, and backup to pc, and then use psvimgtools to install vita to the backup, an then restore the backup to your vita, the vita shell 1.82 bubble will now appear on your desktop! (without it ever being installed to the vita internal memory or memory card before!)

(now just transfer your config.txt file to the ur0 folder with your plugins for nonpdrm and sd2vita card, if you installed vitashell 1.82 to the internal memory it will just transfer to the sd2vita, after you plug it in, power off, then plug in sd2vita, then power on) (tested installing vitashell 1.82 to official 3.67 vita/whitelist still works on official 3.67 with this version), it installs fine the bubble and all, but the program does not run)
..........................
(so this should work - if you have no internal memory on the vita
............... install vitashell to your official memory card, your on "enso 3.65", use the sd2vita plugin 1.2 that supports uma0 and ux0, after inserting your vita card and sd2vita card, just transfer over the vitashell into the correct installation directories, after you rebuild database vitashell should show up on the sd2vita card after restart, haven't tested that so its a guess!)

("imc unlock" was my first brick risk on 3.68 firmware, I used the "0 memory" option to uninstall, but the "pstv vita" failed to identify its internal memory afterwards regardless of format option .......... BRICK ..................... my second brick risk involved going from "3.65 enso" using "moduro" directly to 3.60 firmware, and that worked without a brick without using an enso uninstall first for 3.65)

(upgrade to 3.68 and then downgrade using "moduro", if that's easier)

moduro has been the answer I was looking for, after.............will be back to check on the overclocking. after getting the ps3 han hack working, I have to say...............I don't regret not buying one when it came out, overall the vita/retropie together, seems to do better then the last and current gen consol;e.
