Hacking Is softmod different for imported vita?

Slavaka · Feb 25, 2021

Picked up a pch-2000 vita today and was told from the game shop that its an import. Main difference I was told by the shop is that as far as menu items are concerned, O is used instead of X, and of course the ability to play imported games. Going to try softmodding it soon, so wanted to know if I needed to do anything different than the usual guides give or if its all the same. Also, is there any way of getting the O and X back to what i am used to? Not a big issue, just curious.

The imports are selling for $90 on eBay. I'm just curious how much you spent. Also, no. It does not matter.

also the ac charger (Brick and plug) doesn't matter (as long as it's input voltage is same as your countries) cause it's an external DC converter so it sends the same 5V's to the vita I bought a japanese import slim for $80 works fine with SD2vita get the white adapter (it works good) also i'd buy a slim if i were you it's a lot less cause of the 1GB internal flash (no propriatary cards to buy)

Ordered my sd2vita a little while ago. This will be the second one ive done, but its been awhile. I was pretty thrilled to find this color instead of the basic black or white ones that are local(and few, if any at all here lately)

Don't think you can do the swap for games, but you can do the swap for homebrew stuffs, there is an option inside Henkaku menu.

also i suggest to use Mourdo to revert fw to 3.65 (at the most) cause you cant run psp ecfw on anything higher (you need the fw file for 3.65 to downgrade) then install enso which is cold boot cfw

It can be different. You can't downgrade certain models.
