Go to your photo album thingy. It's one of the options when you have a picture open.

Ah yes, finally lol

One of the few apps I haven't been in but to copy stuff from and to the Vita.

Interesting...will any wallpaper size scale down nicely or should I mess with the backgrounds first before dropping them on there?

I went to the wallpaper thread as there are some great ones there.
 
I'm absolutely in love with this thing! Also, I'm actually enjoying Little Deviants much more than I was expecting to. I've put way more time into it than Uncharted so far. Is it worth 30 dollars? Maybe not but it's definitely a fun little game and certainly not deserving of some of the slagging that it's been getting around here.
 
I just got my Vita, Uncharted, and measly 4GB temp card and have a few questions.

When I go into the green "Settings" page. The back button disappears. Is the only way out pressing the Home button?

I started downloading a system update, pressed the Home button, and was pleasantly surprised to find I could background download these. I can get back to the settings page... but I'm not sure how to view the progress of the download.

When I upgrade to a 16GB card in a few weeks, can I just swap them out? I heard that your system is tied to the card in some way. Will this be a hassle? If so, can I back up on Media Go or something?

Oh, and is there a link to an online manual?

I think it's either the PS button or the on/off button. Then you "tear" the Settings page away and go back to the Home Screen.

EDIT:
I haven't tried it yet but I think if you swap the card, you'll just have to resync all the content to the new card. The "formatting" should be transparent if it's a new card. No need to overwrite any data.
 
Ok... so I am trying to decide on either VT4 and Fifa. I have never played either series. Which one dudes and dudettes? How are the single player modes? Which one is deeper? I am intrigued by the mini games in VT4, does fifa have any?
 
I actually want to buy it day 1 for some portable UMVC3, but I just know that a price collapse is coming very soon, just a gut feeling. Either that or CFW, I'll pay full price now if we can get CFW on there.

I'm guessing if CFW was going to be more like PSP CFW and less like PS3 CFW (IE there now vs there a few years into the system's lifecycle, if at all) there would already be progress towards getting stuff working?
 
Well, it happened.

Hot Shots Golf has completely sucked me in again. 3 hours tonight, and I am currently charging my Vita for the first time. I played Uncharted for a whopping 5 minutes, then figured I'd see what HSG looked like. Goodbye life!

Protip: While your ball is in flight, you can use the d-pad to get some different camera angles of your ball in flight.

I need a screen protector for this in the worst way. I have my Skinomi, but I need to get a lint free cloth tomorrow for sure to put it on.
 
What the fuck. The store is so fucked up right now grrrr...

I redeemed my Hot Shots Golf online pass and then went to hit next/download and it crashed so I home button'd out of the store, went back and it's not in my download list and now when I try to enter the online pass it says it's already been used. Fuck. This is not cool. I don't even know how to get Sony to fix this for me and I don't want to have to cough up another $10 because they screwed up.

Also my downloads are crashing with errors and the store is really slow :\

I heard redeeming online passes on the Vita causes that problem? I'm not sure, someone said that to me on Twitter. Almost feel like redeeming them on PS3 or on the SEN website
 
Just got around to using near for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised to see about a dozen people in a 10km radius of me. A couple of them were playing Ragnarok Odyssey, even!

Sadly, no HSG players, which is what I've been playing this evening :/
 
Does anyone know how to transfer PSP saves to a Vita on a Mac? I've got my saves in the PSAVEDATA folder in the PS Vita folder, but they're not showing up in the content manager.
 
Is it trying to connect using 802.11b, g, or n ? Yeah, and also what security does it use ?

The router is a WNDR3700, supposedly a good router but in practice a good old piece of junk (I don't think the vita is entirely at fault here since i had a hell of a time connecting a kindle fire as well). It supports all protocols - i am not sure which one the vita is trying to support by default. Does not support WEP, so I am using WPA.

The vita alternates between not finding the network ( i have three bar on my computer), telling me the password is incorrect, or trying to connect for so long (>10 minutes) that I have to hard stop it (canceling and waiting another five minutes produces no results).

Why is this shit still happening in 2011 :/
 
What makes you think you can? You have to download it from the Japanese store until it gets released on your regions store. Which means changing accounts on the vita.

I just remembered that with the PSP, some sites use to have the demo files for other games in different regions available to download.
 
Couple things I really don't like.

1. The feel of the plastic touchscreen.
Just not nearly as smooth as the many glass devices I've used. It's responsive though.

2. The dramatic color shift when you tilt even a little bit back away or down towards you.

Other than that I'm pleased with the device itself, I'm feasting on demos until Sunday.

Got Uncharted today!

I knew the case was going to be tiny, but I didn't realize how tiny! It's adorable!

Now I'm waiting for Amazon to ship out my copies of Rayman, Wipeout, my carrying case and screen protector. And of course my Vita...:(

It's going to be a long wait until next Wednesday, but what sucks is that work is going to be slow for the next few days, so the days are really, really going to drag. We won't be busy again until March. Ugh.

I would have broken down and gotten the FEB for the 3 day weekend ahead, but honestly, I'm glad I'm waiting it out, as I just couldn't justify picking up the FEB for that price, especially when it's simply not what I want in terms of memory card and Little Deviants. I'm certainly feeling a pang of envy for those that have their shiny Vita's in their hands, but I can wait 7 more days. I just downloaded a crap load of free stuff from PS+, and I still have some backlog stuff to attack (and I just started replaying FFXII, since I lost my save for it and felt in the mood to play it).

I'll probably snag About a Blob next week (great price for a great game), but then that's it for my Vita purchases! No more! I can hold off on more software until March.

In My Documents/PS Vita/sdkfjhsdkhfksdj or whatever that jibberish folder is called, stick all the individual save folders. Don't stick the SAVEDATA folder as that does nothing.

If Amazon hasn't shipped your games yet, Target is having a B2G1 free sale starting Sunday.

Can you get rid of the No Signal?
 
Wait, Hot Shots Golf Online Pass is a service like PS+, you don't need to download it like Wipeout's online pass. Seems I'm ok. It's under my services list.

Phew. Crisis Averted.

I redeemed mine and it too isn't showing up under my downloads and when I go to the page for the item says I own but doesn't have a buy/download link at all. I'd say just try playing the game online, I have a strong suspicion that they changed the system so it KNOWS you're OK to play when trying to go online and doesn't require a key downloaded, it is a new console and the lack of anything to download could just be Sony making the Online Pass system a bit smarter.

Can't say I can really detect much of a color shift. The viewing angles are pretty damned good.
 
How easy do you guys think this will be to find next week? my brother is making a trip to NY and I'm asking him to pick up one for me. He will not have time to browse many stores, though.

The suggestion I gave about seeing if it connects to an unsecured router is just to see if your Vita can even connect, not suggesting it as an actual solution, more like a troubleshooting step.

Try changing your wireless password. I've usually found that wireless devices can just be amazingly picky as to what the stupid password is on the router.
