Hello people,

I bought a PS VITa (1004) some days ago, and it come with h.encore already installed.
today i turned on the vita, and apears a mensage UPDATING DATABASES (somehing like that) and then all the bubbles is gone except for the vita's original software. I turned of, presse the sd card (sd2vita) and de vita card, turned on again and some bubbles comeback, a few only. h.encore, vitashell, adrenaline are back, and h.encore still working. but some content that i already had deleted (limbo game for example) come back. its like the vita loaded content from another place.
im enter in PKGj and it show less space than de sdcard have, and show a lot backups still installed besides no bubble.

im very new to cita and had no clue what can i do now.

The FW versions is 3.67



thanks in advance

Nice that you solved by your own.

In case the SD2Vita adapter with the micro SD Card is not recognized or the db gets (very easely) damaged. The PS Vita will fallback to the internal memory or dependend on the used drive manager to sony memory card. And rebuilds the database depended on the installed stuff on this memory. And in case you have more bubbles then possible can be displayed, you get a mess because the bubble layout is not saved, especially you had folders before. Therefore exist tools (Custom Theme Manager) to backup and restore the db, but doesnt work always 100%.

And if you dont like to mess around with the bubbles, there exist alternative launcher which can also be configured to launch at boot.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • 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

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
