1st for piracy

4.80 when?
IOSU when?

4th for PS3 HENkaku when?

Let's be real. The Vita got off to a great start with HENkaku, but how many people/groups are actually contributing? 10, 15? Maybe a handful more.

I don't mean the guys on Reddit making custom themes, or undubbing their games.

I mean progress in the actual exploit.

Shit, most of us here don't know what the fuck's going on, and are relying on a small amount of people.

This is why I think that HENkaku will be unlikely to lead to anything other than the current homebrew we've got currently, maybe a few other apps that are only good in certain situations.

It's a shame, but it can't be helped.

>>151022234
Only the 15 year old demographic ever turns out any hacks.

>>151021981
Honestly, since this is my first time making a guide like this, I never really considered it, but I do have my reasons.

One, I suck ass at both drawing and using Photoshop, so this is one of the few ways I can make OC for the site. I feel like adding my name to it is like watermarking an image macro, but I guess that's really more silly of a reason.

Second, if I were to leave /hbg/ for any reason, another anon could pick up the torch if he or she so wished.

I may consider creating an account now since multiple people have suggested it already.

>>151022054
Thanks anon, I'll revise it

>>151022339
Just make a generic non-specific action hero username.

MicroSD hardmods for Vita when?

>>151022436
My poor Vita, I don't want to see her defiled like that.

I just finished Part 4 of the Plailect guide.
The worst is over, r-right?

>>151022436
I hope for PSTV USB memory. I know that you can use USB to update software at very least.

HA HA HA BYE BYE VITA OWNERS

AND DONT LET THE DOOR HIT YA ON THE WAY OUT!

Yeah, you COULD stay on 3.60 forever
But I guess if you dont care about the Online features...

>>151022391
I will when I update it again in the morning anon

>>151022436
What about the unused expansion port at the top? Maybe the chinks will reverse engineer it and make a dongle to attach external storage to it

>>151022549
yes

I don't need to be internet connected on Vita when running emulators right?

>>151022570
What online features? Is there any game worth keeping online functions for?

All I know it's JRPG station.

>>151022570
Online for what? To play Freedom Wars with vitagen? It's not like it has its own monhun.

>>151022570
What online features?

>not being physical only
>playing multiplayer shit

>>151022982
Thank god. All those hours spent pre-reading and understanding the instructions were worth it.

Well then, sony doesn't fuck around

>>151023160
Isn't it temporary?

Why does the PlaiSysUpdater appear on the Home Menu as "Built with devkitARM & libctru"?

>>151022085
So no games for Vita, huh? back to the shelf then

Are the cards that come with 3ds already in mbr?

>>151023848
Until 3.62

>>151023753
CRT shaders when?

>>151023160
What did you use to block it?

>>151024458
Hasn't it been out and worked for a long time? Why will the next update stop it from working all of a sudden? Or are we just expecting Sony to do that so we're forced to update?

>>151023851
Because that's it was built with?

>>151024891
I'm not sure why, but that's what happened when using on 3.51 to 3.52 and the 3.55 update dropped.

>>151024891
It only works when you're one version behind.

>>151022570
>Vita
>online features

I'm on Part 4, section V

Are FBI and PlaiSysUpdater supposed to disappear when you downgrade?

>>151025073
don't think so no, you don't need plaisysupdater anymore after the 2.1 downgrade, will need to reinject fbi again later though

>requires precious space on your ludicrously overpriced memory card

Remind me again why people buy digital?

so can you still get online on 3.61 with VitaUpfateBlocker?

>>151025501
Because I didn't think ahead, or even consider this situation. Also sales are tempting nonsense.

>>151025501
Because they occasionally have decent sales going on.

>stay on 3.60

Seems like a win-win to me

>>151025932

>>151025932

I just want to take my Vita online for once.

>second vita still in the post
>will be forever because Royal Mail are incompetent fucks.

I just wanna henkaku already. Tell me what it's like guys, is it fun?

You can still use an updated PS3 to transfer over Vita games to an old FW Vita, right? I wanna get a digital copy of Diva X on Vita when it releases but stay 3.60, and happen to have a vanilla PS3

>>151025990
yes I'm certain Sony with their massive anti piracy measures has no way to see information that your vita transmits when it connects online.

Of course this might be me being tin foil, but I'm okay with being the last person on the horse to see how far it takes the previous person before throwing them off

>Part 4 pretty much done
>but my 3DS will only boot with the SD card removed

I hope I didn't fuck up.

Anyway, should I use screeninit or noscreeninit for arm9loaderhax?

>>151026056
Remember when 3DS versions before 10.3 only had kick ass homebrew and people were thirsty for CFW and more? It's kinda like that.

>>151026130
You should be able to, unless Diva X requires 3.61 when it comes out.

>>151026130

Yes. But make sure the game itself doesn't force an update.

>>151026140

kek, when it's done it'll be the other way around.

screeninit if you have a gateway, noscreeninit otherwise.

>>151026148
The best part of 3ds hacking desu. Waiting in excitement.

>>151026140
It says right on the fucking guide that that's what's supposed to happen. Also, as far as I'm aware there's no real use for screen init at this point. Could be wrong, though.

>>151026227
>It says right on the fucking guide that that's what's supposed to happen.
Scatch that. Guess I misread your post, but the guide does suggest booting your 3ds without the SD card in case of a black screen on boot.

>>151026202
>>151026227
It said it could happen. I think I've just got a bad case of always assuming the worse.

But thanks for the answers.

>>151025826
thats pretty meh, anyone can do it, even on 11.0

Does my account region matter using henkaku? I'm Hong Kong account.

>>151026372
Until they accidentally update

>>151026421
Should be fine.

>>151026458
Awesome. Thank you

>>151026202
So wait, is Brickway incapable of initiating the screen on its own? How?

>>151026514

They just didn't program it that way. It's not incapable, it's just badly written.

>>151026606
>it's just badly written.
Brickway, right? But why would anyone on their right mind buy one then?

Where would somebody go to learn to develop homebrew for the vita?

>>151026684
For quite a while it was the only option, and the only decent option for quite a while after that.

It's pointless now, of course.

>>151026763

what do you want to do exactly?

>>151026803
Anything really. Ports, games, file viewers.

I have no coding knowledge or experience.

>>151026951

Use lua player plus then. Lua's a pretty basic scripting language so it shouldn't be hard to get to grips with.

>>151027006

This question is about 10 years out of date, but anyone here ordered from here before?
http://www.maxdiypower.com/

I'm looking into installing PS2 games to a hard drive and these guys sell network adapters pre-modded for SATA at the same amount it'd cost me to buy just the adapter in Australia

Following Plailect's guide, im in sysupdater and about to update.

It says "use the homebutton if you run the CIA version"

do i just click a and not worry about that?

Update firmware cloak vpk when?

>>151027140
Yes.

is modchipsdirect avoid place to buy an r4i gold in the US

>>151027006
Are there APIs for the camera, gyro and accelerometer yet?

>>151025501
>lose access to your games if you want to stay on an old firmware

I've never understood this meme. Why would I lose access to my games?

>>151027478

Because you don't have a PS3, don't make backups and are retarded.

>>151027127
Would also like to know about this desu

>>151027140
"update"

It now says "This system will recieve system updates and other important notiices from Nintendo via the internet"

It doesnt actually connect to the internet does it?

Or does it and download 9.2?

>>151027551
Okay, well I'm none of those things. All good then.

>Part 5 section 2
>Go to the URL listed
>bottom screen glitches the fuck out
>troubleshooting says to press select and arm9loaderhax will install anyway
>press select
>the system immediately shuts down
>check the SD card
>the OTP.bin is 1kb and listed as being modified on 2/29/16

Did something go wrong, or is this normal

I installed/whatever is needed for arm9loaderhax and it's working great. MHGen came out and I wanted to transfer my EmuNAND to a new mSD card but now homebrew/EmuNAND9 won't start. Any ideas? I tried running it from SysNAND too.

>>151027970
if the system won't boot with the SD out then you're good you can continue with the next step

>>151028409
with a9lh you launch those apps on boot there isn't an emunand anymore and you're sysnand is now cfw

>>151029178
So simply moving all my stuff to the new SD card would've worked, right? It isn't for me.

>>151029479
If you want a new SD then yes, literally copypasting your old SD to a new SD will do the trick.

>>151029578
Thanks man. I'm dumb as fuck. I honestly thought I copied the Nintendo 3DS folder in it's entirety.

What are the chances bans go down on the Vita? I wanna try some emulators, but spookied of a ban.

>>151030449
0,02%

>>151030449
It's a 50/50 chance of getting banned.
They either do or don't.

Hey man. I'm decently versed in console exploits, and from what I can see this exploit will allow piracy. Waiting on the two who are reverse engineering it to post more of their findings in order to have a solid answer. But it is highly likely piracy is possible.

The only thing that'll stop us now is the protection on games. Sony isn't as lazy as Nintendo, and learned from their mistakes with the PSP and PS3.

The Vita is very well protected, so it might take even longer than two months to crack protection on games.

At the very least, we'll see PSP ISO loading soon. Just enjoy the emulators for now, dick around with custom themes and play with what you have.

>Leaked first PSVita backup

>>151031137

>>151031097

That game is the only game I've known to be fully decrypted, since it was found on a developer's Vita.

It seems legitimate.

In Part 5 Section 6, it says to backup the SysNAND.bin and rename it to sysNAND-A9LHAX.bin

However, when I do back up the sysNAND, it's named sysnand_auto.bin

Is that normal? Can I rename that and it won't make a difference?

hey /hbg/ what is the best way to copy/clone the entire emunand + games from one sd card to another? i know simple copy paste won't work, and i know there are several different ways to do this but i want to know which one is the most effective since i don't want to reinstall all the games again. thanks

>>151031381
The PSP had quality stuff first, moe garbage second. The Vita is missing the quality stuff entirely.

>>151032037

Yes. 3.51 has PSP and PS1 piracy while 3.60 doesn't. If you need that, wait on 3.51 while it gets ported.

>>151033957
Being able to pirate games doesn't mean you pirate all games, or don't purchase anything from PSN and so on. As an example, I would never have bought a 3DS if piracy was not possible. Which means I would have bought zero games. But since I've then I've bought several games, and even an n3DS. Which never would have been possible if something hadn't spurred me on to buy the console.

In Sony's case they'd come out ahead immediately after I bought a Vita because of how they monopolize and gouge the memory card prices. I bought a Vita just for HENkaku, so it has already been a positive for them, at least in some regard

>>151035237

P2P piracy.

>>151035341
I know a lot of people who only bought consoles and their games after it was possible to pirate them.

>>151032389
Ironically,
>>151032513
This actually seems like an actual possible waiting time for the ps1 stuff considering Retroarch's porting their PS1 emulator to the vita.

>>151035178
not really

even an experienced solderer can fuck it up, better off paying someone else to do it or just buying a cheap 2ds below 11.0

A couple of questions.
Can I still access the browser on 3.60? Will I have to use my PS3 to download games off the PSN store? Do I have to use Vita Update Blocker or no?

>>151035543

yes
when vitaupdateblocker stops letting you sign in
yes

>>151033901
The hardware sales boost from piracy very small
Just like the software sales losses

>>151022234
Like the 3DS was any different?

>>151035584
Can't I use my PS3 and not use VUB or is VUB essential for much later?
Sorry for the dumb questions.

Currently following the arm9load guide.
>Copy emuNAND_original.bin and emuNAND_original.bin.sha from Section II of Part 4 to the root of your SD card
Oh no, what if I skipped this part and have downgraded to 2.10? Am I fucked?

>>151035796
>arm9load
Are you retarded?
Also no, just turn your system off and put the backup there.

>>151035791

You need to use VUB to connect your Vita to your PS3.

>>151035664
Not necessarily. Piracy gets people talking about a console. Even in ways that are not about piracy. If you're talking to someone about what you're playing on the Vita they might consider purchasing one. And they might not pirate. Or if they do, they might still buy games. Bit even if they do pirate, its not like its a lost sale because they never would have bought anything in the first place.

Right now word of mouth is the only advertising the Vita has. I've never seen an ad for one. People are still under the impression there are no worthwhile gamed for it (something that hasn't been true for a long time) because they never hear about them.

>>151035896
i see, thank you

>>151035778
Yes. Sony has protected the Vita a lot better than Nintendo ever could.
Because Sony saw what happened to the PSP/PS3.

I'm not anti-henkaku in the least, I do want it to do well. I'm just saying I don't think it will desu.

>>151035872
>Are you retarded?
Yeah, only backup of EMUnand I have is the formatted one, can I use it?

Do DS flashcarts work on a non-hacked 3DS? Do they work without tweaks on hacked ones?

>>151036018
Oh is that why they based the PS4 off an open source OS?

>>151036287

Depends on the flashcart, but mostly yes.

>>151036309
an open source OS so heavily modified it might as well be closed source

>>151036309

R4. The original one, not R4i, R4 HC or whatever else came out afterwards.
Those two apps don't recognize any DS carts anyways. Maybe I'm missing something basic about how to run games through the homebrew launcher.
Not the person who originally asked, just in case

>>151035537
>even an experienced solderer can fuck it up,
>better off paying someone else to do it
Why pay someone else to fuck your shit up if it's hard for even experienced? Also, no. Hardmodding the {n|o}3DS isn't really hard. You might need some practice to get a feeling for it but it's not hard. Seriously.

Source: I've hardmodded 4 3DS over time. Only the first one was disastrous because I was still learning (still managed to do it though).

>>151036839

>>151036839
I was the original poster, thinking about an R4 card but I didn't know which to use. Do cracked 3DS games download straight to the system/SD memory?

>>151022234
ok, let's be real: henkaku has absolutely blown up the vita scene with all sorts of shit getting ported in less than a day

the scene's more active than you seem to think it is

>Yes. Sony has protected the Vita a lot better than Nintendo ever could.
you're not exactly setting the bar high there, the problem isn't that the vita is some nigh-uncrackable device, it's that nintendo is so god-awful at security that it's a magnitude of order easier to crack their devices.

>>151036847
when you only have one shot at it and you've never soldered before, yes, you're better off paying someone who hardmods 3dses on a regular basis

Technically if I install VitaShell, isn't it fine to update?

>>151037041
To be fair it had a mini-outing with Rejuvenate to get the main devs (like RA) on board.

The initial upsurge seemed great, but that's all it was: devs making the switch.

>>151037041
Some things like DOOM run in standard as fuck emulators too.

>>151037084
software takes time to work on, so it's not surprising things seem a bit calm right now. the people who made the switch are working on software and that takes time.

>>151036891
Oh. Well. Damn.
Still, I figure a way to launch DS cards would be needed, right? If you can't launch a simple Mario Kart DS through the homebrew launcher, theoretically you shouldn't be able to launch a flashcard.

>>151035358
hand painted cover by a artist from a specific site.

What if I fucked up everything, but my 3ds is at 2.10, what steps can I continue from that?

Where the fuck is my PCSX ReARMed core for Vita?

If the 3DS can have it why can't I?

>>151037384

i'd rather have an ePS1 exploit desu senpai

>>151035537
Soldering most things isn't difficult. Protip: get a loupe. You can get a set of them for $5 on eBay. I prefer the hands free kind that you hold with your eye. They make soldering fine points way easier since everything is giant. It also may be worth it to sharpen the tip of your iron with some sand paper to get a finer point.

So what's the best SNES emulator on Vita?

>>151037396
>Eboot/POPS hell
You're in the minority.

Give be bin/cues with FFing, savestates, rewind, scaling/button remapping (not possible on PSTV) any day.

I installed 9.2, and went into system settings to chheck.

Then i turned my 3ds off for a bit and now when i turn it on it says "update now?"

what do?

>Turn on vita
>"System update download complete"
>Don't worry because this isn't fucking Nintendo
>Open notifications
>Cancel
>"If you cancel, the files downloaded for this installation will also be deleted."

He was at least on top of providing PSP OFWs, shouldn't be hard for him to provide a single one for Vita.

If i am just downgrading to 9.2 and installing cfw, does it matter if i get a japanese n3ds or american? Would i be making my life hell doing it on a japanese one?

>>151038542
>>151038645
>Read pinned tweet
Nevermind! Bring on the MEGA archives.

I've posted this a couple of times the past few days, and unfortunately my problem is somehow getting worse:
A few days ago, I went from booting A9LH perfectly, to it not always working. I figured it was my sd card, so I formatted it (didn't format the emunand though), which didn't fix anything. I then replaced the emunand on the sd card with a backup I made when I first created the emunand, and that worked fine for a few boots but was back to the same issue the next day. Whether the 3ds managed to boot the emunand seemed to be chance, however a few hours ago (I played it earlier today) it turned on, but when I tried to run a game it black screened. Since then, I've tried booting it many times and it hasn't worked. I've also tried putting the backup emunand on another sd card and that also isn't working. Holding select however always allows me to bring up the Luma3ds settings and I can run A9LH programs such as decrypt9.

TL;DR - A9LH 3ds - Luma3ds settings work, emunand doesn't even with backup and another sd card

Sorry about the wall of text, but I'm sort of at a loss now what to do. Does anyone have any ideas?

How do i use retroarch for vita?
I installed a few of those .vpk files for snes, genesis, cps2 and dosbox, but now I need to load some cores.

Also can dosbox run games that would normally require a cd to be inserted?

>>151038876
The cores are bundled individually with RA itself, so they're loaded on startup (look at the bottom of the RA menu).

>>151038840
Why are you bothering with emuNAND when you have a9lh?

>>151038929
I noticed on the bottom yes, so I didn't understand what it wanted from me. Didn't see a load rom option so i figured that would be the first step, also the help menu told me.

But how does that work for dosbox, since that mostly works with game folders?

>>151038840
In addition to what I've tried above, I've also tried redownloading Luma3ds, which didn't change anything, and choosing the option 'Autoboot Sysnand' results in a black screen also

http://pastebin.com/fJCNTTNW
psp2-updatelist.xml for these >>151037951
Hit 'download', open it in Notepad++, add a new line at the end of the file, "Edit" > "EOL Conversion" > "UNIX/OSX Format", save.

Remember america isnt everywhere.

Preowned its 150 for me. (new 2ds's are 150 here)

>>151039045
I never made the switch to altering my sysnand because I figured only messing around with the emunand would be safer, but at the moment I can't seem to get either to run

>>151039157
Care to throw that in an archive then throw it around the internet (pomf, mega, youtube tutorial)?

Still no confirmation if different region updates are fine?

>>151039157
The ones from the MEGA link have that XML included.

So whats the point of going further than homebrew on 9.2?

Doesnt the hacked eshop already work through homebrew?

>>151039278
Does it boot and function properly without the SD card?

I'm completely new to this but is it safe to downgrade from 11.0.0. At this point or not? I found this guide here https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Hardmod-Downgrade but it mentions hardmodding which I wasn't sure what it meant. When I went and checked out the hardmodding guide provided there, it involved wiring and soldering irons. Did any of you actually go through all of that to hack it? I expect the sarcastic response, but if you could give me an honest answer that would be great

I managed to get a brand new vita 1000 for $80 and I updated it to 3.60 but I still don't have a memory card, am I fucked?

>>151039437
No. Memory cards only get pissy when they were used on a higher firmware and then used on a lower (prompting to update).

Even now though we may be able to get around it.

>>151039343
Because I installed A9LH (I installed one of the early builds, I don't know if the later builds boot to sysnand if no sd card is in), the 3ds black screens

>>151039386
If you have 11.0 you either need another CFW 3DS to do a system transfer from, or you need to hard mod (physically modify your 3DS). Those are your options. I guess you could also add commuting sudoku to the list too.

>>151039595
Sudoku it is.

>>151039595
>commuting sudoku

know where i can get either?
PSM_SDK_1.21.02.exe

>he has to commute to sudoku
>He doesn't own a comfy apartment within walking distance of work

>>151039583
There's a build that doesn't require an SD card bit I don't know if it ever made it into a "stable" release.

>>151039187
Thanks. Got it working.

One more question, the games are running slow. Where can I find the overclock option?

if im on part 2 of the guide, is there a chance of soft bricking if im already on 9.2 on a fresh console?

>>151040012
Just follow the steps TO THE LETTER and you'll be fine.

>>151038840
I think I found the solution... and I feel a little stupid. I had a supercard dstwo inside the cartridge slot, and it wasn't showing up whenever I booted the 3ds. It appears it was interfering with the boot because after I removed it, it's booted successfully three times. I didn't think that would be a thing, but thanks anyway

>>151040149

>Caring to implement a background music player
Thus far, since I haven't seen homebrew enter high memory mode, the native music player suffices (which is neat and a huge advantage over 3DS).
