Hacking Do I need Vita memory card on 3.65 h-encore

[bololabich]

So I've softmodded my vita running 3.65 and after installing the plugin and inserting SD adapter I found out my console can run without the original memory card inserted. Do I need to keep this card, can it be useful for sth or can I just sell it, never needing it again?

On 1000 series you need it for future update, reinstall cfw etc.

OK so I'll just keep it in that case

If you run IMCUnlock you won't need the memory card because you'll be able to use an internal memory card instead.

hymm interesting, though I don't think I need it as for now it works just fine with memory card ejected and well as Hayato213 said, perhaps, new exploit in the future may need it. Also I just got an idea, would it be possible to mount it as pspemu\PSP?

Adrenaline supports ur0, ux0, and uma0 for that, so as long as you can mount it as one of those then yes.
I'd still recommend running IMCUnlock, as it will let you update and keep your coldboot if a new coldboot exploit is released for a later firmware.

I see so them I'll look into that topic deeper. Mounting the mem card as the entire partition doesn't make any sense for me as 4GB is just not enough for PSP games but it would be OK for PSX and PSP HB titles.
