Also as a Vita NOOB, will this allow me to play ISO backups on my VITA like I do on my hacked PSP?
Yes, but just take note that they aren't backed up as actual ISO files. They're packed as VPK files instead (just a renamed ZIP file), and you need to install them via VitaShell for them to be playable from the LiveArea.

Still can't figure out a simple thing like hacking money in a game. This is ridiculous.
Have you checked databases for cheat apps such as RinCheat? Maybe they already have money cheats for the game(s) you're looking at.
Failing that, the main place to look for the money value is usually the (decrypted) savedata. I'm not an expert in save hacking, but that's something useful I know about it.

Check that the VPK file actually has the '.vpk' extension, otherwise VitaShell won't prompt to install it. Also make sure you install it by pressing the X button to get the installation prompt; the "menu list" you speak of sounds like you opened up one of the options menus instead.

Yes, and there don't appear to be any such databases, only failed threads started with the intention of creating a database.

Thanks, and do you know if I can stream my ps vita to my pstv?
No. And why would you want to do that? If you're trying to play a game that's normally not compatable with PSTV, apply the whitelist hack that's available.

One more question, what items do I need if I wanna stream it on my pc?
I believe you'll just need RinCheat if you want to stream your Vita to the PC.
Assuming you already know how to set up plugins, download and set up the plugin and the PC streamer app from here: http://rinnegatamante.it/site/psv_plugs.php

I haven't set up the streaming thing myself; all I just know is that it's an available option. Read the bottom part of the readme for instructions on activating the stream feature from the plugin.

For Transferring Any Type of Files via QCMA Savedata, how would I do it with Adrenaline? Is there a Savedata for Adrenaline?
If you are copying files to the Vita for Adrenaline, just use FTP; it is way more easier than trying to just copy files through QCMA. (There is no "savedata" for Adrenaline anyway)
The QCMA file transfer tutorial was pretty much for if you're transferring large files that would otherwise take ages to transfer via FTP.

No, I am copying the translation file for Steins;Gayes 0, which I've imported from Japan, and copying 520 mb of data through FTP is really long. I tried to zip it, then rename the zip into mp4, then move it to the PS Vita. It "works", but the space on my Vita is scarce, so I can't extract all the file.

Then why mention Adrenaline at all, that's only an eCFW for PSP mode, has nothing to do with translations or anything :unsure:

Just create a .zip of the files, rename it to whatever.zip.mp4 and transfer it over with QCMA as a video. Then rename it back to .zip in Vita/Molecular Shell and unzip the contents to your Vita. If you don't want to use double space, you can first move it over to ur0 (which is internal storage) and then extract it to ux0

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
