If you have PSN+
Settings > Playstation Network > uncheck Automatic Updates
So what's the difference between Birth By Sleep and Birth By Sleep Final Mix?
Final Mix is an extended edition of the game with a new episode and bosses. It's Japan-only, but there is a fan translation you can apply to the game.

The extention has to be in capital letters. Make sure Windows isn't sneakily adding a ".zip" to the end of your file (uncheck "Hide file extensions" in Folder Options).
First of all, Sony will not patch the individual games. They patch the firmware. Meaning the game gets removed, new firmware is released with exploit removed, game gets put back for sale. This all could takes weeks btw.
It may be a PSP thing just like PS3? Meaning that you need extra space for game to be extracted and then installed. So say you download a 500MB games, you would need atleast 1GB of space to extract/install the package/game. Maybe thats why you cant install it? PS3 does this as well. Imagine downloading a 20GB game. That means you need atleast 40GB to install it.
I'm fairly certain Sony hasn't removed the game from the store yet.

I can confirm it is still in the US store - I just downloaded it. Anyone have good step by step directions on how to install the CFW on 2.02 with Uno?
I am with this guy? Is there a step by step guide (perferably with screenshots)?

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but none of the stuff I copy over is showing up. I followed the instructions exactly and it's still not working. The weird thing is that it's not copying over at all. I have 2.33 gb left on my vita. I copy over the save file that contains the iso (which is like 972 mb due to the iso) and I still have 2.33 gb left. The UNO cfw copies over but nothing else does. Did I rip my ISO wrong?
The cfw works. The content just isn't transferring over. Cma transfers over the uno cfw but nothing else(isos/homebrew). I did all the renaming things correctly.

He details in text and images how to install the CEF as well as homebrews and ISOs.
Thanks a bunch! I am guessing if we install this we need to stay off PSN or get banned?
Hmm, interesting. Perhaps maybe people on older exploits can tell me if unpackaging ISO files is really that easy. You almost always needed a application to get the files to a location to even be recognized by CEF. Or is this a feature in the new version?
Not really. It's just a PSP emulator exploit, no one is getting banned.
You just can't update as the next update will likely disable the game exploit.
You don't have to, they won't be able to detect it until the next firmware.
So its not flashing the firmware?

Well, I got it working after messing around with it for an hour. Definitely a WEIRD file structure, so you need to follow the directions step-by-step. I still can't figure out how the file structure works for eboots...only isos working on my vita so far.
Definitely not - it's just an exploit within the PSP emulator.

I still can't get the file structure working to test 'em out.
Dude the game is $5. Give it a try? If you dont like it then just update later on. But then again you got until the game gets pulled so you might not want to wait too much. Anyhow the emulators are ok but the SNES emulator that works is an outdated version that doesnt play some games or chuggs on some. NES one is great though.

Can you provide specific direction on how to setup the files for emulators to work? I have my GBA emulator zipped and in the Uno save folder, but it doesn't show up after I finish the transfer.
Should being the key word there. Is there an easy way of copying off the exploit if you want to connect to PSN?
It works, thanks!

What program are you using to do this? I don't know where to begin and have been trying to get a GBA emulator to work for over 2 hours.

is there a definitive list of PSP homebrew out there?
Are you talking about the PSP Suikoden 1&2? I didn't think you could load your own PSX games on the Vita yet.

Well you can but sadly they don't work as fast as on a PSP yet and there is no sound emulation at all

Well, that doesn't sound worthwhile at all!
Yes, deleting the save and ISOs and upgrading to the latest firmware. No way back though, so you'll lose access until the next exploit. Right now we have an exploit for 2.02, which is the latest firmware, so you can connect to PSN just fine and still use the exploit to load homebrew and games.
Ark CFW supposedly offers great compatibility with PSX and has both video and audio working. It's not public yet, however.

I'm not sure about the speed actually though I tried Legend of Mana and it ran slower than on my PSP 2000 :/ But yeah I agree it's not really worthwhile for RPGs for example and most other games if you have a simpler game however like lets say a DBZ fighter I guess it would be okay. Well for me atleast as I play most things other than RPGs or story-heavy things without sound on a handheld
Sorry guys, I was talking about the GBC emulator. But FTP has always worked for me. I just used the standard PSP.ZIP in the save folder method. The same method works to install all homebrew/emulators.
And if you install FTP you should be able to just drag and drop folders/items without working about zip files.

What am I doing wrong? I can't get the system to see any homebrew files.
Are you sure that you have them packaged correctly?
NAME.ZIP > PSP > GAME > Emulator > Emulator files and folders --- and that the .ZIP is in the UNO save folder?
Edit: or NAME.ZIP > PSP > GAME > Homebrew > Homebrew files and folders
If you're using Content Manager, you need to just throw the files into the same folder as the Uno Save on your PC. Make sure you're renaming the file extensions to capital letters too. This is where I kept messing up. So the file should be XXXXXXXX.YYY

Does every single file in the emulator need to be in all caps? Even the file extensions and roms?
Nope, just the .ZIP and the PSP > GAME folders. I think the .ZIP can't be longer than 8 characters either. I'm not sure about the rom name length.

something is wrong - that's how I have it setup. Would you mind sending me your files so I can test it? I've done this kind of stuff before without issue and am GOING CRAZZZZZYYYYYYY.

what homebrew are you trying to run?

Me too... Homebrew is just not cooperating for me, at least for SNES and GBA (the two that I actually WANT to run). How can I access the ms0 to put files in CWCheat?
HOW DO YOU ACCESS SEPLUGINS? I've been asking forever and I can't find a single thing about it anywhere, not here or wololo. I want to use CWCheat and the FFT WOTL Slowdown patch.
I don't have access to my laptop atm. I'm on mobile GAF.
