Hi everyone,
I spent quite some quality time this year doing 3DS CFW installs, and it was going so great that I decided to look into PS Vita CFW.
Received a 2nd hand console last weekend and I went right into it, following the vita.hacks.guide flawlessly : console downgraded to 3.60 -> Henkaku -> Enso.
It was all going ok until I tried launching an FBA rom through Retroarch, I selected what could have been an incorrect core, and I got the infamous C2-12828-1 error for the first time.
I read and read, sometimes really worrying information : it gets worse and worse, eventually bricking the console....
The thing is I didn't get the error while doing the CFW install with the browser, I got it way later when I was trying to launch a game. Then I got the error again on Chocolate Doom, just wouldn't launch anymore. Then, after a couple of days without a problem, the error came back in the middle of a game of GTA Liberty City Stories (I was in the settings, configuring the graphics for smoother operation, as seen in a youtube tutorial)
Everytime it happened I rebooted into safe mode, rebuilt the database, deleted the cookies and history in the browser, did all I could gather from my various reading (already playing without bluetooth and wifi).
I still don't understand exactly how the CFW works with the Vita, so I'm sorry if my following questions sound noobish :
- Can I format the PS Vita memory card without having to start the CFW install all over again? Would it help at all? (I use a SD2VITA, so the system is booting from the SD card I guess)
- If I have to format the memory card and my sd card (or change for a new one), is there a way of copying all my downloaded stuff that I spent four days 10+ hours a day working on (PKGj is nice but it's slow picking one game at a time) ?
Are the games console specific like the 3DS or can I just copy the content of certain folders and they'll show up on the new system?
It feels kind of awkward : I'm not quite sure the system is even reliable after spending so much time on it, any help would be tremendously appreciated
Thanks for reading!
