Hi, question here just rebought a vita after lending it to my ex years ago and her refusing to give it back to me. So would a 16gb be okay to install a few ps vita and a handful of psp games via these mods on it? I only want the whole gta series and FF7 crisis core. Then for vita I just want persona 4 golden, uncharted, and maybe 4 other titles since I still have cartridges and minecraft digital on this thing.

[@technic1109]

@@Sliced_cheese98 For a 16gb, it should be enough. Those games don't tend to take up that much space. Also, happy that you got your Vita back!

[@JAC491]

@@Sliced_cheese98 Hey man, once you mod your vita you can buy a micro SD card adapter and get more storage. Those games should fit tho. If you have a vita 2000, you wont need a 16gb because it has internal storage.

[@Sliced_cheese98]

@JAC yeah I fit like 4 games and some custom themes. Now my 16gb is basically full lmao. Only have 70mb left and have installed all necessary plug-ins. I'm just waiting for my sd2vita adapter to arrive this Friday. I already have a 128gb Msd card ready. I just need to figure out if I can move my games and saved game data over to the Msd.

[@ricardisskiss]

@@Sliced_cheese98 let me know how that goes about please bc i forsure want to upgrade storage, also what micro sd card would you recommend😅

[@bunnyshade6112]

If anyone here came here looking for how to fix your issue if you didn't press X ( my console is the JP one so i forgot and pressed O but the app overrides the console default ) THERE IS an easy fix, delete adrenaline bubble, go to Vita shell delete the pspemu folder, turn of vita, take out memory card, put it back in THEN turn it on. Redownload via Vita deploy and your right back here and it will ask you to press X. Happy gaming! and sweet vid ^

Hey so when it says click x do I need to click x or o button if mine are flipped

you press X , I have a jap one so i thought i should press O and thats wrong. The app itself takes over and you should press X ^-^ @@Lonlxy

You are able to switch the buttons to how they normally are but in game they revert to the normal buttons, it’s mainly when you’re in the home menu when you’re buttons will be the opposite, in game they will be normal

I've done a previous hack that never really worked right. Could you do a video on de-hacking a vita so I can use this new version from scratch. Also if I'm able to use my old sd2vita card as is or if I need to wipe it clean and start downloading all my games again. Thanks for your tutorial. Its Very clear and makes me want to give it that second attempt!

[@technic1109]

I can absolutely do that for you! Unfortunately yes, it is better to wipe the sd2vita's micro sd card and do a fresh install, however, you should be able to move the save data beforehand, which I can teach in the video as well. It's been a pretty busy weekend for me, but I'm ready to get back to it!

hey i have a question i have a ps1000 can i use this method to transfer the stuff on my 64gb memory card to an sd2vita? the psvita 1000 only has 1 slot for memory cards so i don’t see how i can copy and paste stuff into an sd2vita without removing the OG memory card which would then remove access to that data. sorry if i suck at explaining

Hey there, after installing everything and following your guides step-by-step, I have run into a problem, my ps vita when I accidentally opened a game card app for a split second, it didn't show the window, when I tried to close the window it just wouldn't, after this I turned it off and on again, but after unlocking my Vita it just froze, now after shutting it down it's been stuck on a black screen, and the logo is blue which means it's on (Vita 100), is there a way to fix this?

[@technic1109]

You absolutely can, but there is really no need to! There is no way to get banned by playing games other than hacking in trophies or cheating in an online game. Other than that, it's pretty much near impossible to get banned other than the reasons mentioned. Hope this helps!

Subbed to your channel! Quality video!.

[@technic1109]

A psp and a ps vita is definitely worth owning! My biggest recommendation is finding a ps vita 2000. The battery lasts longer and it's easier to install custom firmware on. I recommend getting an sd2vita at the same time you get the ps vita as well. Thank you for checking out my channel as well!
