[@HotRodTypewriter]

The only update I would add to this is in order to transfer files onto the new storage you have to make sure that the USB device is set to SD2Vita in VitaShell. The video didn’t show that part so when I first started to transfer files it was going to the old 8gb card. I was worried I did something wrong. I didn’t. The video just left this step out. He tells you to swap everything else around correctly he just leaves out the USB transfer settings swap to the SD2vita

[@noxii2113]

For anyone that encounters the issue where there is a Error when formatting: Try double-checking that the SDcard is secured properly in your Adapator and when placing the Adaptor in your PSVITA, make sure it is inserted before you power on your system. This will prevent the possibility of the system mis-reading the sdcard as it was placed before the system was power-cycled. Hope this helps!

[@HellTantrumbull]

As a reminder to anyone doing this, remember that if you already have your vita games installed when you do the copying to sd2vita process then it's going to take a while for it to finish since the system will be slow with copying larger files.

[@xBooMzHeadShotx]

Thanks i got a PSV1000 oled with sd2vita and internal memory. took a while since i had a lot of the internal space used 🤣 Reasuring knowing im not doing anything wrong🙏

[@steez7864]

Does this mean I will be storing 2 copies of each game, doubling the space used?

[@HellTantrumbull]

@@steez7864 Anything you already have on the sony memory will only be copied over to sd2vita. once you finish copying over the games you can delete them from the sony memory to free the space up while it's still set to be the main storage. Once you set the sd2vita to be the main memory, any games and anything else you decide to put on it will only save to the microsd and won't go to the sony memory unless you copy them there. but trust me when I say don't do that because the sony memory chips are extremely weak and might stop working suddenly because of files being transferred to it constantly. Thankfully I only lost my 8gb memory because of that and know not to do transfers with the 64gb memory and only use it for normal vita use.

Hey, I followed your instructions in the video, everything was going well until I had to go into the Settings>Devices>Storage Devices for the 2nd time, where you switched it up and changed the ux0: to SD2Vita and uma0: Memory Card. When I did this and rebooted, all the apps that I added after hacking disappeared. I about had a heart attack, but switched it back around, rebooted, and everything appeared again. What did I do wrong? I can't get the apps to appear on screen when I switch it around like you had it.

Its way easier to jailbreak the vita right now. Before Henlo is released, I'm using the vita memory card method to easily hack a vita, I also used Android Phone as alternative to run finalhe instead of using a PC. But now, it can be easily done only with the use on the web browser of the vita, no pc or psn account required (similar process to the vita 3.60 firwmware)

Weird, when I go to VitaDeploy and download the apps it doesn't take me to the same screen you show (VitaShell). It just stays on the download page and says it's been installed.
