Hacking Ps vita 3.63

[parisi]

Hello all. someone is selling a ps vita fat 3.63 sys, I want to buy it but is it hackable to play vita games?

Nope. You can play any psp games and any PS1 games (without sound for psx) using ark and can also use some emulators.

No. 3.60 is the only firmware that supports Henkaku. You could buy it, and then replace the motherboard with a 3.60 or lower one bought from various places online. They're usually fairly cheap, $30-$60 or so depending on the model.

Thnx for reply. But do i need any exploit to install ark? The price for ps vita is 25$ and i dont know is it worthy or not

$25? , its worth it definitely , just replace the motherboard , it'll be cheaper then buying a exploitable PS Vita .

I would say follow @Tom Bombadildo advice and buy it and replace the mother board with a 3.60 if you aren't afraid to work a bit. If your keeping it on 3.63, Just use psvimg tools to install ark. There's a guide on hackinformer somewhere how to do it and it's pretty pain free.

If i buy it 25$ and the other parts 50$ i think its not worthy because this guy doesnt have even a memory card

Is it a 3g model? Yifan is working on a micro SD adapter for 3g models.

Also still if you have to pay around $80 for the Vita and motherboard that's still a killer price since I've seen 3.60 Vita's for $150 on up on eBay.

Yes it is a 3g model, last year i sold my ps vita slim in germany for 100€ because the version was too high and now i dont think its worthy to get this old model for 80$

It's definitely worth it, especially being a 3g model. Buy it! If not one of the other tempers will beg you to buy it for them.

Ok bro i'll think about it. Thnx alot

A vita for $25 it a steal! That being said, I'd be wary af and test it in front of the seller. Make sure all buttons/sticks work properly, battery appears to hold a charge etc. If it's good, buy it. Then buy the mother board. Then sit and wait for yifan's 3g board to release.

Here's some pricing for you:
motherboard
3g to micro SD adapter
Well, looks like the early bird ones are gone. I can't tell if there are any others available since I'm on mobile, but I bet they're about $30.
