Hacking How to Update existing Games using PKGJ

Blauhasenpopo · Jul 26, 2021

Hi there,
having a PSVITA on 3.65 enso, with PKGJ and want to update my existing game backups.
I saw in many tutorials, that i can download Game updates via PKGJ, but in my Version there's no "Update" Column (0.55)

What do i have to do, to download Game updates via PKGJ ?

THX in advance

Thx for your fast reply, but there's no other way, where i can only download the update 'cause it takes very long to download the whole game ?

I downloaded via the Game itself and the LiveArea, but when i want to install the update, it gives me an Error

@Freezer6 ,open PKGj go to your game installed(marked with a white dot)press O and download patch or compatibily pack(if available),return in live area open game and press research update(arrows in semi-circle)

So, tested it, there is no action after i press "O", i press "X" when an installed game is highlighted and if i choose "Install patch and game" there is a message" Already installed", then i go to the mentioned Update Area..and error "C0-12574-9"

you do know you can install updates manually? just make sure your using the plugin for the whitelist v2 if using a pstv.

You mean the ability through the game itself, no this isn't working because of the Error i wrote in my last Post.
I have no PSTV only my VITA.

check if there's an update in the patch folder. though, the manual way, through the game itself, shouldn't display the orange circle if it's updated.

also, check if the work.bin is in the packages folder of the title id folder in the apps folder. lol I'm not sure if the game will work without it or if it will even display if say the app.db recorded the game, then the work.bin got deleted.

@Freezer6 ,sorry what firmware version do you have installed on your PS Vita?

Do you have the same type of screen on PKGj?

@Freezer6 ,i understood the problem is the 3.73 firmware which creates conflict with PKGj 0.55 and other plugins,you should downgrade to 3.65 Enso, you would solve the update problem.

THX for your answer....how do i downgrade @NeoGranzon ?

UPDATE:

https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/modoru

I found this and will test it later that Day and then the update via the Game itself should work? Or which Way do i have to do Updates afterwards? @NeoGranzon ?

@Freezer6 ,make sure it is for the version you have of the firmware example 3.65 or you risk brick your PS Vita.
If the game has updates you can do it via live area by clicking on the 2 arrows in the semicircle,or if you want to install the DLCs you have to go to PKGj press triangle,select Vita DLC and then search for your title if it has any.

So, yesterday i "corrupted" my Vita by renaming "ux0" and "ur0", as mentioned in the TuT, so i had to format my Card and do all the Hacking Stuff again :wacko:

And afterwards i downloaded the Games via PGKJ and had the Updates and so included, later i want to Test (as i now are on 3.65 Enso) when i copy a Game to Card, if i can update via the Game itself.

More to come......

I dunno why you're using this method for game updates. Install the game through PKGJ, then, if there's an update available that isn't installed through PKGJ, the update icon will appear on the game's home screen and you just update it like a normal game.

Blauhasenpopo · Jan 5, 2022

My only solution is to download over PKGJ with Update....but i haven't had my Vita in my hands, since then, cause my other "babies" need attention
