I know a way how to turn nonpDRM content into a working game that does NOT require installation of VPK, util MaiDumpTool,plugins nonpdrm,repatch and ref00d (useless goods from the TV shop on the couch) All Patches and DLS can be combined into one folder with the game.You only need to copy the folder to the ux0:/app and make a refresh LiveArea.Course, the content of the game is completely decrypted.

For this, 5 utilities are needed.

pkg2zip
psvpfsparser
self2elf (from sceutils)
vita-make-fself
FaGDec or MaiDumpTool(Sometimes to remove the 'invisible' protection from the ELF file)

I don't know why you are so agitated. Don't take it so personal. Either way I'll keep trying I guess until I loose my patience. XD

Edit: I know this has no practical application for anyone anymore since everybody is using NoNpDrm, but I've actually successfully converted a NoNpDrm dump into a Maidump (so far tested it with 2 NoNpdRm games) installable and playable without rePatch (or any other plugin, just the naked Henkaku). Maidump dumped the 3.67 games even though I'm on 3.60 just fine (repatch + compatibility files aren't even necessary for dumping it), but after installing the Maidump it produced an error. The trick was to copy the compatibility files into the game's app folder after the installation of the Maidump.

Even though what I did is of no interest for anybody else than me I think at least it's a nice proof of concept.

How did you accomplish this? I have some NonpDRM game files, I can't get it to refresh in the LiveArea (0 items found), but I know MaiDumpTool works for me. So if you still remember how to do it, can you describe how you did that? Thanks.
