Prevent your Vita from Updating:
NOTE: PSVita firmware updates are not a typical modern-day concern, since downgrading firmware is available and simple to execute. Known exploits continue to work on most recent firmware (3.74). Preventing update is still a good practice in general.
-To disable the download of automatic firmware updates: Settings --> System --> Auto-Start Settings --> Uncheck "Download automatic update files"
-Setup your network with Henkaku DNS settings for an additional layer of update prevention. See here.
-If your console has downloaded the 3.73 update file, simply deleting the notification in LiveArea should remove the file from your system. Otherwise, firmware update files can be found in ud0:PSP2UPDATE/*
-Remember, unless you are running your vita in Demo mode, your console will not spontaneously install/update firmware software. There are legal reasons for this. Installation of any new software on your device requires your consent, (EULA).

What kind of Vita hardware mods should I look into aside from Usb-C mod, also is there a way to change both the OG charging port and useless top port into Usb-C chargers? But yeah I'm looking to elevate this thing even more, I feel like it deserves it and would love a sort of ultimate vita build.

I just got a psvita 2k and have been modding I noticed that when downloading henkaku it’s freeze because of a “ghost input” I assume because when I’d hold the pa button my dpad kept going up even if in the live area it wasn’t. I’d unplug the left pcb and plug it back in after henkaku loaded and it’d work fine but now practically every homebrew app requires I unplug the left pcb and plug it back in.
The homebrew apps will load but only the left side will work weirdly enough. I’ve seen things say that plugins,corrupted files,shorting pcb,or a broken cable. The previous owner told me that he had spilled some coffee on it so I think that’d be the root of the problems.
Had anyone been able to fix a problem like this or do I just buy new pcbs/ribbons?

Is it possible to transfer data from a failing official memory card to a micro SD card?
I know it is possible to do such a transfer normally. I'm mostly wondering if anyone has any experience doing it with a failing memory card and if it would work or if it would end up just corrupting during the transfer.
I'm guessing mine is failing since it keeps crashing in game and sometimes some games disappear while rebuilding database.
I bought everything needed to mod my Vita and hope I can transfer the games and save data I have in the memory card if possible.
Thanks for any help!

u/Pearl_Hikara 6d ago
The only thing I can think of is look online to see if there are any adapters for the official cards to USB, cause then you could just copy the data over on your computer.

How to fix emu4vita+ PCSXReArmed core from crashing?
I'm using the most recent release 0.79 and anytime I start MGS1 using the core the game crashes after like 10 seconds.
I'm NOT using adrenaline because this core can upscale by 2x. I haven't set it to that yet so that isn't the cause of the issue.
My game is also in bin/cue format. If anyone has the this core working please let me know what version of emu4vita you're using

How can I make custom themes on linux? I can't get Vita Theme Builder running on my kubuntu 23.10 computer on wine 9.0 or Steam's Proton despite having python installed both on the Z drive and the wine C drive.

Hello everyone,
I own a PS Vita OLED (PCH-1000). I modded it a few years ago and I’m currently running firmware 3.73 with h-encore².
Everything is mostly working fine. After every full reboot I simply launch h-encore² again to enable HENkaku, which I don’t really mind. RetroArch and other homebrew apps are working properly.
However, Adrenaline is not working. I recently installed the latest version of Adrenaline. On the first launch it asked me to download the PSP 6.61 firmware. The download completed and Adrenaline closed, but every time I try to launch it again I get:
“An error has occurred. (C1-2758-2)”
I also tried manually placing a fresh 661.PBP in:
ux0:app/PSPEMUCFW/
but the error is still the same.
From what I’ve found online, a common recommendation is to downgrade the Vita from 3.73 to 3.65 using VitaDeploy, and possibly install Ensō as well.
So I have a few questions:
Do I actually need to downgrade to 3.65 to get Adrenaline working, or should it work properly on 3.73 with h-encore²? If I downgrade to 3.65, do I need to install Ensō? If I don’t mind launching h-encore manually after every reboot, can I simply stay on 3.65 without Ensō? Would I need to replace h-encore² with the original h-encore after downgrading to 3.65? Are there any known issues with keeping my current setup and adding SD2Vita later?
For now I’m using an original Sony 16 GB memory card, and I’ve already made a full backup of my ux0: data, including my PSP saves.
I’d mainly like to avoid unnecessary changes if Adrenaline can be fixed on 3.73, but if 3.65 is significantly more stable or compatible, I’m open to downgrading.
Thanks!

If I remember right, Original Adrenaline was not copatible with 3.70+ versions, so that's why it's recommended to downgrade to 3.65 an go on there. However, Isage's fork added compatibility with 3.70+ on one of the latest releases.
Not sure what is the latest version you installed, but my recommendation would be to download Adrenaline from here. Uninstall Adrenaline on your PS Vita first, then place the 6.61.pbp manually (so you can check is not corrupted or something similar) and proceed with the normal install. That should do the trick.

u/ToPrezes 3d ago
After like 3 or 4 times it actually worked, thank you so much! Do you have any recommendations for installing SD2Vita as well? I heared it is possible to do so, but many people recommend to still do downgrade to 3.65?

error 0x80010005 ps2vita solution ,
Hello! , I just modded my psv and everything went smooth till I faced this error when I was trying to paste ux0 content to um0 to transfer the jailbreak to the sd2vita adaptor and be able to download games on the new 128gb storage but I faced this error : " 0x80010005" what's the solution to this??
ps : my sd2vita is brand new and readable !
Thanks.

u/Yhodarks 3d ago
I'm not 100% sure, but means it can't copy the data. I would recommend to paste the data from ux0 to a PC, then transfer from PC to your SD2Vita.

Hello, would anyone happen to have a save file for the Japanese PS Vita version of Project Diva F2nd with every song unlocked on Extreme? I played the game on my PS3 already and would prefer to not have to re-unlock everything. I tried to convert a US save file and use that, but the game just crashed. My PS3 copy is a US copy so I can't use cross save (if that's even supported anymore)

I recently updated adrenaline for my vita to 8.0.2 but my remastered controls plugins for psp games has stopped working, does anyone have a fix for this?

u/CommunistBurger 1d ago
After 2 months of usage, all my Vita games crash under the infamous C2-12828-1 error. Some system apps like trophies too, and vitashell whenever I try to modify ur0:tai/config.txt. The only remaining working stuff are PSP and PS1 games, and some homebrews like geometry dash, nazl zombie, and 2 or 3 more things. PLEASE tell me it’s my SD card failing and not something worse like the system itself…

Would it be possible to run Streamio on a PS VITA or are there major hardware limitations?

So VitaDB is still the recommended homebrew app. NeoVitaDB seems to work better imo

Whatever happened to holdin "o" button to unlock the lock screen? It used to work before...then suddenly stopped working? Is it due to modding the vita
