Well atm im have to buy second hand blu ray 3D movies at 2 euro a piece, my PS4 isnt activated. If it was activated there is an app called LittlStar VR that plays 3D movies and there is Youtube 3D movies but again only for Activated Consoles (meaning u had psn acces in the past and downloaded an app).Enjoy :)

so you need littlstar vr app to play 3d files if you dont have the discs correct ?

so what do you do if you havent downloaded it previously and are now on a hacked ps4 ?

Hoping that homebrew will enable some sort of MediaPlaying, im in the same boat. One PS4 FAT activated, plays Youtube and MediaPlayer and than my PS4 PRO not activated, no Youtube and no MediaPlayer.... dont want to go through the hassle of swapping PS4's and cables each time... dillema ... upgrade one of the two to OFW but my PS4 FAT is only activated... Time will tell guys

To be honest MediaPlayer on my FAT is activated but i havent come around to disconnecting all cables. The VR is connected to my PRO and switching the FAT ... maybe someone else can anwser if Mediaplayer playes VR. I can tell 3D movies work from disc and there is the Littlstar VR app, alongside Youtube 3D.

No just plug and play, but it should be connected to the PS4 before turn it on

As others habe have mentioned, make sure you turn on your psvr before running hen (before ps4 to be sure). Then run your payload, start your game and you're good to go. I have about 30 titles I've tried so far and all work perfect. Already got my list going of must buys.

I have a phat 5.05 non activated. There is a HEN with VR support so you do not need to turn on the VR before HEN. There are pkg versions of Mediaplayer and youtube that can work on non activated console. With the youtube app you can watch VR and 3D movies from the app but only if those videos are on youtube. To go on youtube you must keep your ps4 connected to internet but with the cracked app you do not need PSN (I use Al Azif DNS).

Games are ok, still have to find a way to see 3D movies with media player (probably doesn't exist...yet). Every time I try the app hangs and I have to reset my PS4. It seems that the only solution available is having 3D movies on BLueray or using Littlstar that is not compatible with HEN but youtube app cames out last week so... every day something new surfaces.

In Europe I bought a refurbished Amazon Wharehouse VR set with camera, VR Worlds disk and two move controllers for 143 euro. It was cheap but the cables are heavy. The VR2 should be better (only one cable, HDR compatibility) so, if you can find a good offer, I recommend VR2. The bundle with VR2 probably will have a download code for VR Worlds and not the physical release.

Hello all. Im a newbie here so please bear with me.
I have PS4 at 5.05 and jailbroken. I run my games using Al azifs Hen +mira and games work like charm.
Yesterday I purchased PSVR and hooked it up and when I turn it on I get the message that the system needs to update to use VR and I do not want to lose my firmware.
I searched the net and found people suggesting to use Hen +VR. That worked for the PSVR but I cant run the games. And when I run Mira+hen I get the games to work but not the PSVR.

Can anyone help and advise how to bypass the update and have the games running togwther at the same time so the kids can enjoy the VR.

Thanks for the help

Make sure you are playing a VR game that doesn’t require a Firmware above 5.05

I was trying carting VR. Not sure if this requires firmware above 5.05 but the issue is what is the correct procedure to run VR games with VR running on unactivated PS4 pro with firmware 5.05

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    because i didn't say i was asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    i said i was sleeping...

    sleeping with uremum

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
