Only for now though. I don't care about DQ either but there're games that will come out later and I want to play them

Doesn't require 3.61 eh? Now I know what I'm grabbing next week.

Darkest Dungeon is already a bummer.

What's the best way to update to newer nightly builds of retroarch?
Should I uninstall the old versions first?
Should I uninstall the old versions first?
I don't mean to derail this topic or sound rude, but from what I've heard, it's not much of a loss, really. Not because the game is bad --it isn't-- but because the port seems to be pretty bad. It doesn't have touch controls, the menus are hard to navigate and the text is very small, to the point of being illegible sometimes.
I should point out that if you care about battery life, you can also underclock the vita. Some games may run just fine. I tried putting everything as low as allowed with Sonic Transformed, and while there noticeably more framedrops, it was still more than playable. I'm sure some games out there would run fine at lower clockspeeds.

Are you telling me I bought a Playstation TV for nothing?
homebrew it and get the anti-blacklist

I cannot fathom what you need cfw for that you cannot currently do, nor why you would buy something that you don't actually know if you want. Take some time to educate yourself.

Will that enable me to play War of the Lions with the anti-slowdown patch?

You should be able to do that once the PSP emu hack is done.

But will it be done? On the last page, it was said that there was a lack of interest in the scene.

USB storage? Then again, that might be possible via Henkaku.
No offense, but I think you should take your time and read about the current state of affairs, because you're mixing everything up and getting confused as a result.
Until very recently, the only way to run unsigned PSP games (including modded games like War of the Lions) was via an ePSP exploit, which were patched by Sony a few firmwares ago. Recently, TheFloW was able to take control of the PSP emulator inside the Vita from within the Vita side of things using HENkaku. He passed the method to Coldbird, who co-developed the ARK PSP emulator back in the day, so he could port ARK to 3.60 using his method. Meanwhile, TheFloW is working on adding analog camera movement with the right stick for games that support it (e.g. GTA LCS). This is happening and is bound to be released sooner or later (probably sooner rather than later).
What has not caught on was the reverse-engineering of the HENkaku source code, mainly because very few people actually have the technical know-how to accomplish it. This is what there isn't much interest for, not for homebrew and the scene in general.

You really need to read before you post in this thread.
I think someone needs to write a driver for this. Don't know if anyone's working on it specifically, as a lot of devs are focusing on the normal vita, rather than the pstv.
They have successfully imported the PC script of I am Setsuna to the Vita version and should be releasing it soon after fixing a few glitches.
great news.

No one forced you to buy one. Homebrew releases are when the developers feel like it.
You say it as if they owe you something.
If you want it done fast, then work on it. Otherwise be patient.

More and more I understand the "if you want something done, do it yourself" mantra that's so pervasive on homebrew forums.

The I am Setsuna news is awesome!

Entitlement. The people working on homebrew do it in their spare time. They are coding stuff for the rest while the whiners in the forums keep watching TV or playing games.

Yup. And on top of that, frequently people only post feedback (or anything that could even possibly help the devs) once it breaks. And at that point there's very little helpful information in the comment. Frustrating for all involved, I'm sure.
Oh wow. Is buying it in a sale and then play the vita "port" fair 🤔They have successfully imported the PC script of I am Setsuna to the Vita version and should be releasing it soon after fixing a few glitches.

Pretty good, although it's a bit of a pain because of the tiny text on a lot of the Henkaku installation/reactivation screens.
Holy crap, that's amazing! Handhelds are my favorite platforms for RPGs, so this is a very welcome addition.
Makes you wonder why there was no Vita release, since it was basically a free extra platform to sell the game on. The translation had already been done and, if homebrew devs can do it, so can professional devs who have the freaking source code to the whole thing.
There we go i have no idea how i wasn't getting that on my searches.
One more question. In order to use Betteramphetamin, i have to use a dumped game right? So i have to dump my cart of Ys to get the fps bump?
Necromanti
Member
Correct. I would recommend using MaiDumpTool (over Vitamin) to dump your cart.
Yeah, just installed it in order to dump Ys, Cold Steel and DQB which surprisingly runs great already

Morally and ethically I don't any issues with buying the PS4 version to support the Vita version but the specific laws governing such actions will vary from one country to another, if such specific laws even exist.
Of course in the United States it's specifically illegal to circumvent copy protection of any kind in any form, so the simple act of installing Henkaku and bypassing the Vita's native encryption is itself an illegal act thanks to the DMCA.
If the TPP is signed it will extend the provisions of the DMCA throughout the Pacific Rim, so please look forward to our new corporate overlords.

Ah, cool, that's a relief.
For overclocking digital games already on my memory card, do I still need to dump them or is that only with cartridges? I still haven't gotten around to playing Tales of Heart R or Ys Memories of Celcetta which I bought off the PSN store, no idea if they really need overclocking?

Hey, there's a better way to install custom themes:
Release: TEMA v1.2 for PS Vita Download and Install Custom Themes for Vita and VitaShell

In my experience, neither digital games nor cart games are overclockable or affected by installed plugins; they need to be dumped/extracted first.
It is only 2.5 months since we sawVita piracy, and we know Sony band in wave. People have lost their PS3 account over this.

The current version of Henkaku lets you access the PSN store so that you can download the updates. It shouldn't cause any bans or anything.

Any chance I can get street fighter III 3rd strike to work via retroarch?
Updating physical games don't even need a PSN account to be signed in so that shouldn't be a problem.

So it's still a pain to do. :/ I'm still wanting someone to make a RinCheat like CWCheat that doesn't require a massive pain in the ass and reshuffling my entire memory cards to do. :/

Quick question, can I use remote play while keeping Henkaku?
What, exactly? Because there's not been much that requires 3.61.
As for your question, yes. You lose everything.
