My PSVita is on 3.68 with h-encore. I'm trying to mod a European NoNpDRM version of Persona 4 Golden (The mods in question give me a free camera, and the other mod turns Yosuke into a hardcore weed addict)
for Persona games specifically there's a tool made by TGEnigma and Shrinefox called the mod compendium, in the case of Persona 4 Golden you use a VPK from the game and patch it with the mods, it makes a new VPK and you can use it in the patch/rePatch folder (not clear on the patch and rePatch stuff)

I think the problem lies within decrypting the game. I can't seem to find a good way to do that. CriPakGUI does nothing with the data.vpk file I took directly with the game. Psvpfsparser doesn't even start up correctly without giving me an error and closing. And from what I can tell the vitashell decrypt doesn't look any different (yes, I checked the hex of eboot.bin)

I believe the mod compendium uses a specific vpk file from the data.vpk (don't quote me on that it sounds weird)
but yeah. If anyone wants to try figure it out you can find all you need at shrinefox.com

    I have the FiiO X1-ii, and love what it does, but the battery life is kinda ass and the sluggish, unresponsive menu makes me regret my purchase a little.

    has anyone here played botw randomizer for switch?

    Frankly not. That's like a 'cheat engine' for BoTW, right?

    My Playasia order is taking forever, and all I ordered was a physical copy of the Lunar 1+2 remasters.

    Did I over-pay compared to MSRP? Yes. Was it terribly much more? Not really.

    I ordered it from Spain, cost me 45€, arrived on release day :P

    It's not restricted to any region though, don't see a reason to order lunar from them.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Still need to get my copy at some point. That, and I still need DQ3.

    Gotta work on my backlog first, though.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    No stores around me have it, and I wanted the version with ALL the languages on it.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    I'll be ordering the Japanese copy of FFX + FFX-2 from there as well soon, as you get both games on cartridge instead of 1 game with a download code.
