Well I follow a tuyorial to do it, but when I insert the sd dapter and reboot the vita it tells me that I need to format the sd adapter( I have copies all of my documents) .... I did and it formated my original memory so now I have 2 problems

Copy the original content to my original memory of vita with out vita shield

The second problem is why it keep me asking to format the sd a dapter

delete id.dat. it will force a format if the system software is higher in that than what's on the system. this includes spoofing too. if the system was spoofed, that spoofed firmware will be in the id.dat as well.

What was your problem? You want to setup SD2Vita for the first time? I did it earlier this month for the first time in my life and got it working on the first try. What guide did you use? I use this: https://psvitamod.com/sd2vita/
I have flollowed from youtu.be that page and now my vita doesent recognice the sd2vita I have set UP it but it didnt work

Wait, what are you trying to do in the first place?

- You have a Vita with a memory card as your primary memory (ux0) and you want to setup SD2Vita as your secondary memory (uma0)?

- Or is it the other way around? You want to set up SD2Vita as your primary (ux0) and memory card as secondary (uma0)?

So you want to use SD2Vita as ux0. What did you format with your Vita? Your memory card or the SD2Vita? Did you lose all your data? Or is your data still in any one of them?

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you just said. Let's start again, let's forget about your SD2Vita first. Let's see if you can boot your Vita with just your memory card.

Your original data in your memory card, is it safe? Can you boot your Vita with just the memory card? Are all your games, saves etc still there?

Ah, so no problem then. What Vita are you using? Fat Vita 1000 without internal memory or slim Vita 2000/3000 with internal memory?

Can you just reformat your SD2Vita again? This time make sure you do it properly. After formatting what do you use to set up your SD2Vita? Use Autoplugin it's very easy: https://psvitamod.com/sd2vita/

1. Download zzblank.img. Use an imaging program to write it to your microSD using a PC. Remove and reinsert the card. Format it to exFAT, default allocation size, no volume label, unless if you have a 128 GB card or bigger sd card, set the Allocation unit size to 64k cluster size.
2. Now you can put your MicroSD card in the SD2Vita adapter.
3. Insert adapter into your Vita (insert it at the top of the Vita where you'd insert your physical game).
4. Launch Autoplugin.
5. Click on "Install Plugin for SD2Vita."
6. Press X "To proceed with the installation."
Configure-Storage-Manager-e1557460502648.jpg

After that it depends on what you want, I set mine as:
MCD (external memory card) as uma0
INT (my Vita 3000 internal memory) as ur0
GCD/SD2Vita as ux0

Your Vita games need to be in ux0, PSP and PS1 games can be in uma0.

    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.
