Hacking Run games from sd uma0

[jumpingspoon]

So I have my sd2vita mounted as uma0 and now what do I do to install the vita games on there?

Games can only be installed on ux0, you have to switch sd2vita to ux0 and memory card to Uma.

Sorry to ask here, but I don't want to create a new thread just for this.
Is it possible on 3.68 too?

So snice I did it this way basically my sd2vita is just a storage area? What about the mounting options in vitashell?

Those options only apply when you mount the Vita as USB storage for your PC.

You can use StorageMgr to swap mount points for your memory card and your SD2Vita, so you can have games on both.

Im using storemgr now thats how I got the sd2vita to work properly. I just thought I could copy some vita games to that and run them. IF there is a way I just dont know how.

Looking that link, I dont see grw0 in my directory

No, all Vita games have to run from ux0. They don't have proper access on other mount points, which results in either the game not being able to boot whatsoever, or not able to save, and things like that.

The only thing you can do with uma0 is keep it as storage for ROMs, and some homebrew, and use it with Adrenaline for PSP/PS1 ISOs, but not Vita backups.

ooohhhhh, ok, I see, then I just need to order a bigger sd card to just go ahead and switch everything over. Well what folder would I need to put the psp iso or psx games in on the uma0? I have adernaline installed

When you make the switch, you want to copy everything from the Sony Card to the SD. Do not uninstall h-encore or vitashell from the Sony Card. Once you set up your storage_config.txt to be MCD=uma0 and GCD=ux0 you should either reload config.txt in the TAIhen settings menu or reboot the Vita completely and run h-encore. In Adrenaline, hold the PS button, and click the Adrenaline button under settings. Press R to get to settings. You'll see something about the memory card location, I forget the exact phrasing. Change it to uma0. All your previously installed PSP and PS1 games should be there. If you're using pkgj, go into your pkgi folder in vitashell and change the config.txt to use uma0 instead of ux0 for psp and ps1 games so future downloads install to that location. For RetroArch or other emulators, just make folders of your choosing and transfer the ROM files there directly with FTP or USB.
