I've got both a slim Vita and PS TV with Enso 3.65. I'm using an sd2vita on the Vita and I use an external USB stick on the TV for extra storage, etc... So, I no longer need all of my proprietary vita memory cards (2x8GB and 2x16GB). I'd like to sell them. But want to format them first. When I hacked my Vita and TV, I did it without any memory cards. So, none of my memory cards have Vitashell or anything else on them, except games that I had loaded on several years ago (before I knew anything about hacking...) How do I format them safely?

I figured it out by using this method:

Use VitaShell: Open VitaShell, press Start, set the "USB Device" option to "Memory Card," set the "SELECT button" option to "USB," press "Circle" to return the VitaShell interface, and press "Select" to enable USB cable access to the Vita memory card. Then connect to a PC using a USB cable, and when the Vita shows up in Explorer, it should be the Vita memory card, and you can format it from there by right-clicking it in Explorer.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
