Hello dear gbatemp users. I need help - looking for henkaku release 4 on the internet. I have formated my memory card and before that changed vita shell on the developer shell (VitaRW). Now I have problem to boot ftp because of it - is incopatible with release 5 and 6. Only solution is find henkaku release 4 on net and change this trouble dev shell to normal. Any ideas? Greetings.

I don't think VitaRW does anything permanent? Just rebooting would have reset the permission to normal. Also I'm not sure how that would affect ftp working, you probably have some other issue going on there...

Yes, VitaRW makes permament changes on the system. I have tried multiple times restore system and format memory card. That havn't helped...
Just look at this: https://twitter.com/yifanlu/status/773234616270397440
No backup...
It's error: (C2-12828-1)
Saved Core File Succeeded.

Sorry I think I misunderstood what you wrote, you replaced your shell.self with the debug one? Again I don't think VitaRW makes permanent changes, but if you used it to replace your shell.self yes, that's permanent and a different story. I believe you should be able to replace it again with the original one? There is a link here for that, I don't know if the link is working as I'm at the office and mega.nz is blocked: http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?p=412951

I activated VitaRW to remove the "Featured" app on the PSTV, following this Reddit post,
https://www.reddit.com/r/vitahacks/comments/50r9hm/tutorial_how_to_permanently_remove_the_featured/
Is there a way to shut off VitaRW now that I've deleted this app? Do I need to reinstall my firmware?
EDIT: Also, I'm having no issues running Henkaku 6 but I wanted to unmount these partitions anyway.
For the record, reinstalling isn't a "factory reset" or anything, it's more like doing an "update" to the same version.
I don't have a proper answer, but keep that in mind.

Again guys, I might be wrong but I believe simply rebooting should set the permissions back to normal as stated by other people before:

It doesn't go away. I still have permission to view vs0:/apps (and I assume write permission also).

Are you talking about VitaShell? VitaShell shows all the partitions since at least 0.3 http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=44890.
Anyway non point in arguing, if you believe you still have write access to those partitions, just don't touch them. If you can't trust yourself on that you should have probably avoided running VitaRW.

It didn’t list the apps folder in vs0 till I activated VitaRW. Maybe it’s read only now (but still visible), I’ll need to check.

If there is no easy way to unmount these partitions, that’s no problem for me. I just wanted to know if it could be done.

    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
  • 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)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
