How to install DLC and patch?
For DLC create a folder called "addcont_plain" and put it in the root of ux0/
Now put the DLC folders in here ux0:/addcont_plain/PCSE####/[DLC folders here]
The pcse### is the number/name of the game

For a patch update copy the patch folder into ux0/app/PCSE####/patch folder
And just overwrite when the FTP program ask you to
The path locations might be different on the vita , I'm using a PSTV
For the patch folder don't put the outside of the patch folder ,copy what's in it
edit: you transfer the patch over after you install the game

you can still found pre owned vita/memory card for pretty cheap prices
i bought my slim vita with 16gb memory card for 90$ US dollar, and bought my 32gb pre owned memory card for 30$ shipped
Double the price and you may be right. I won't pay 60€ for a used 32gb card, when I can get TWO new Sandisk 128gb micro SDs for that price.

edit: Looked it up on ebay, a used 32gb card costs actually over 70€...

You can't defend this.

not sure if your trolling but like movies or music or anything, yes you have to download from somewhere

search google vitapiracy
with the first quote, I meant that piracy is possible. but since i havent been able to find any sites with the vpk's it's "not possible" at the moment.

Then you're not looking hard enough, there are and it is. No-one here will give direct links to pirated materials, if they're sensible. But there was a very obvious and correct hint a page or two back as to where to find them.

i know, it's against site rules to link stuff here. I found them, but i didnt want to go out and type "Free games for vita 100% piracy lol freeee" into google.

No harm in it at all. Searching for something does not in and of itself denote any intention to use whatever material you are searching for.

so has anyone attempted to use it on demos yet? I'm gonna try it on dustforce later. I wanted to try it on my playstation plus free games but i can't since i need the playstation plus active again and i don't have it at the moment. :unsure:

Well i used it on dustforce, and it works like it says, demo is fully unlocked. O_O One thing i can't figure out is how to make the update work. I try dumping update but i get error. So i just dump game and then injected it. After it asked for update, it won't install. SO i have a unupdated game. But is full unlock. Now i am impressed that this is possible. :blink:

Something i wanted to know, when will it be possible to use plugins on homebrew? I just wondered to see if overclocking would even be necessaary or least the rincheat. :P

So what does cleaner dumps? Vitamin 2.0 or MaiDumpTool?
Do you mean better as in works, functional, more compatible? Or clean as in, less storage space used?
Vitamin turns demos into full unlocks, works on dustforce, except i dunno how to install the update. :glare:

I can't extract it from the game, and i can't install it after dump install, so i dunno.

I mean which tool can dump games more 1:1? I heard that both can't do 1:1 dumps, but one surely have to be cleaner than the other?

    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!
