Hacking So what can I do with a hacked Vita?

[GreenGriffin5]

So I'm thinking about upgrading from a PSP to a Vita, and so what can I do with a hacked Vita on 3.60?

Emulation, piracy, save editing, use an SD card for a memory card, custom themes, homebrew games such as DOOM, and more

You can download decrypted mai dump files and install them.
We can't mention where to get them, however.

Mai Dumps are better, they don't take up twice the space to install

The "double space" thing is a meme at this point. You can install them using Maidumptool as a folder, since .vpks are renamed .zip folders. Maidumps are just preferred because they go hand in hand with Maidumptool.

Also we can't forget about oclockvita, mods, using Dualshock controllers/Wiimotes with your system, and native resolution hacks, baby!

Which basically improves MANY games that were intentionally underclocked to save battery and therefore play slow. Also, depending on what game you want, some are available only as VPK files and some are only available as MaiDump folders. Also, if you’re going to add DLC, keep in mind what it originally was. If it’s VPK format, just extract it and put it to addcontent_plain and it should work. If it’s MaiDump, you have to install it as a folder and change the load mode to 5. But, MaiDumpTool freezes if you either are trying to install over 20 games at once or if you’ve got over 20 games and want to change the load mode.

People preffer mai dumps because the way the dumper works is better, it dumps a lot of metadata that vitamin doesn't, vitamin instead does work-arounds thru this issues leading to messier dumps...

I'm pretty sure you just made up that people "preffer them because they go hand in hand together" lol

I figured that because Maidump's additional metadata doesn't have any effect on the end user and Vitamin 2.0 dumps work just as fine as Maidumps, there was no real reason to prefer them for installation

Lol wut? Of course end users will always benefit A LOT from cleaner dumps, games are less likely to randomly bug or crash your system.

We have a clear example in the Wii U scene, you have loadiine and you have the USB install method... Loadiine dumps are really messy, they'll have glitches among other issues like some games ocasionally crash users while entering specific places or performing actions repeated times, not to mention that a lot of games are completely unplayable ... While USB installs are perfect.

Of course the diference gap between maidumptool and vitamin isn't as noticeable as the difference between Loadiine and USB method but the point still stands, users will always benefit from cleaner dumps.

There's a clear cut difference between it working and it working well.

I am only aware of the save bug being the only error with Vita dumps (ignoring Omega Vitamin), and that applies to both Maidump and Vitamin dumps. I know some games don't dump with Vitamin (like Nuclear Throne), but what game that can be dumped with both tools is better as a a Maiump?

*I know that the save bug is independent of the tools. I was just saying that's the only problem with dumps I know

Only 20 games? I have 23 Maidumps and it works just fine fpr me. Isn't the number something like 50 or 64?
