now my ps vita tv is on 3.60, but can´t install henkaku since I used to have it, I wil dig what you say and tell
If you are in 3.60, just open the web browser (www) and go to henkaku.xyz and hold R to reinstall henkaku and molecular shell.

Then you need to turn on unsafe homebrew in the henkaku settings.

Then in molecular shell you can transfer over vpks like vitashell, enso, usbmc, etc.

i did but without pressing R, and open molecular shell but get back to bubbles screen and did´t install nothing...

then I read this

If you have VitaShell installed from a previous homebrew installation, HENkaku won't install molecularShell as it will detect a pre-existing taiHEN config. This will not be an issue


pressing R will install it anyway?

Is there a reason to upgrade the system? or is the same to stay in 3.60?

If no need to upgrade the system, stay on 3.60. On 3.65 some homebrew tools want work, because its patched beside sony. if u go more higher, more homebrew utilitys will not work.

do you have henkaku settings? have you tried rebuilding the database with just the memory card i
in a few hours I will try:

1) insert my sony card and rebuild database
or
2) re install henkaku from the web pressing R

I thought you said holding R didn't work? it will reinstall molecular shell. I don't know if it's supposed to cancel that if you have vita shell but not that I know of. that would be a serious oversight if what happened to you happened to many.

then, you don't need to do that. it just redoes the exploit and reinstalls molecular shell. if molecular shell installed, you're good.

that's what I'm thinking might work. otherwise, you'll have to reinstall the vpk. you can get your content back by refreshing the livearea afterwards, which I think is triangle while at the root in vita shell. though, it might be better to try getting usb to work again without adding in more work, not knowing if it will work this time. I personally never had a problem, but I also used usbmc and a flash drive. I've never used storage manager.

Yes, it will install anyway!
I did what you are about to do over 8 times last night.

Stay at 3.60

After molecular, transfer vitashell and whatever else you want to install.

Connect correctly formatted hard drive.
In vitashell press triangle and mount uma0.
If it won't mount, format it again.

If it will mount to uma0, press triangle again and mount to ux0!

Press triangle again and press mount imc0 to mount your 1Gig internal as imc0.

Copy all from imc0 to ux0.

Instead of shutting off, go to standby mode and it will stay mounted to ux0.

If you turn it off or it loses power, mount again in vitashell. First uma0, then ux0, then imc0.

Do you know the spinning speed of your hard drive? I read that 7200 rpm can actually mount at boot. Mine is just 5400... I'm moving files off my 7200 to test if it automount.

automounting should happen, at least it did with usbmc and my flashdrive. I'd assume it to be dismounted when turning off would cause the system to rebuild the database upon turning it on again, losing everything again, does it?

No, they just are "corrupt" until the drive is mounted again.

I knew my reply last night was too long to read hahaha.

that's weird, because if you remove an sd2vita, then turn on the system, it will rebuild the database, since the games are no longer being detected.

Not with this method, the 1GB internal is the ux0 again at boot until it's switched.

The drive is never empty and the vita OS doesn't know about a switch.

The reason the drive won't mount at boot. Takes too long to spin up.

I'm going to try changing 25 tries to detect to 50 tries to see if it can load a 5400 drive at boot.

    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
