What does buying them legally have to do with being able to use a pirated backup down the line? Because that’s the only use backups from the CDN will have at that point.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Exactly. This august you decide you want to check out a game on the PS3 or vita that you don’t already own, modding your system and pirating it is the only option especially on vita if the game didn’t come on a cartridge Then they can still be pulled from the CDN with the same piracy methods that exist today, because they’re still going to be there in August.

Super No Vacancy posted:well i got as far as removing the 3g modem from my vita and the first screw came out without a hitch but the second was immediately stripped so rip my vita i guess. turns out it and its lovely overpriced and unreliable memory sucked all along!!! Scrape a little notch in either side and use a flat head screwdriver to do it instead. Or hold the bottom end of a ballpoint pen over a flame for a little bit and push it into the hole then wait for it to go hard again and use that to unscrew it.

There are also actual analogue patches for a lot of games now using CFW to add proper right stick functionality.

Senator Drinksalot posted:What doesn't make any sense is that they programmed a new store for the ps4 and ps5. Why not have one unified storefront? Because that would almost certainly involve firmware updates for the PSP/Vita/PS3 if the console-side of the storefront needed to be changed to actually benefit from whatever changes they’ve made to unify the store like they have now. That’s probably more work than it’s worth to them. I’d also rather they left those firmwares alone so they don’t try and slip in anymore patches to prevent homebrew, since if they were going to go to the effort of updating the consoles just to be able to sell you games then they’d probably want to make sure they cut off the exploits that let you not have to buy those games at the same time.

Senator Drinksalot posted:Oh also, theres no prices displayed, they are hidden. The buy button has the price right on it, what are you talking about? Excuse the overlay, I used remote play to fire up my console quickly because this sounded insane:   Edit: also not seeing any way to one-click a purchase because anything I try to buy asks me to confirm the payment method and accept the terms and conditions, so I don’t know what people are doing wrong but whatever it is it’s not universal.

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:is this the joke or am I missing something? The point is the hack made them go “oh gently caress we need to do something and never ever get hacked in any way again”, which led to over correcting and making a bunch of silly choices (proprietary memory, ports, etc) for the vita and taking the option to pull the plug now that the system is wide open just in case there’s anything else lurking that could expose them further.

Memory stick pro duo was only proprietary in the sense that it was a Sony format. You could still plug it into a computer and gently caress around with the files on it all you liked, making it super trivial to put whatever you want into the console in your quest to crack it wide open. The vita memory card being literally just for the vita is the step taken to make it more secure.

Morpheus posted:It has a very 'if you're not going to play by our rules we're taking our toys and you can't play with them' kind of energy to it. I wonder if they'd try to take away the ability to play the games you own as well, if it wouldn't create an incredible backlash and maybe legal problems if they did. That’s most likely the only reason they haven’t just turned off the content servers entirely. They’re a business at the end of the day, I think some people ITT are mistaking “Sony apologist” for people who acknowledge and understand that corporations aren’t our friends and ultimately they’re going to do whatever makes or saves them the most money, as long as it’s worth weathering the minor PR hit from the terminally online. I’d wager 99% of people don’t give a poo poo about losing access to those stores because they’re playing PS4 and upwards, it’s the same story as full backwards compatibility being so loudly clamoured for on the internet and then basically nobody in the real world using it because they have new games to play so who gives a poo poo.

That weird screen effect with the name I can’t remember on the OLED’s is definitely a thing when they switch to all black for anything but otherwise they’re beautiful. Looks kind of like the screen is stained with water drops.

Instant Grat posted:Kind of makes sense, but also Vita firmware updates are less than 150MB. It also has that port that eventually never did anything. They probably had plans down the line for features that never made it off the ground and the memory was there to accommodate them.

I’ve only ever had first hand screen burn experience once but it was like 15 years ago when we destroyed a friend’s parents’ plasma by playing guitar hero constantly at a 72 hour party weekend and burning the note ramp thing into the middle of the screen. So don’t play your vita for 72 hours straight is my advice.

ACES CURE PLANES posted:So idk where exactly to ask about it but ever since installing setting up an sd2vita it seems like i've completely lost my ability to get stuff from the actual psn store by and large. Or at the very least it's extremely random and subject to the whims of i don't know what. This sounds more like a problem with the microsd card or the sd2vita itself, to be honest. Besides that, if you legally own it already personally I’d just grab whatever game you’re trying to get from NPS instead, then you don’t have to worry about PSN being screwy with modded firmwares.

Senator Drinksalot posted:The vita can run it natively or do you have to use an emulator? Because as far as i know there was never a digital release of CC, even on PSP. The vita’s built in PSP poo poo is cracked wide open and you can use Adrenaline to play any PSP content you want with it.

Jolo posted:I've got my Vita modded to use an SD card, if I mod the Vita TV the same way can I swap the sd2vita between them and play everything that way? As long as they’re both activated with the same PSN account it should work, I’m pretty sure the cards are linked to the accounts rather than the specific consoles.

sephiRoth IRA posted:Are there ps1 classics available in the ps store on a non hacked ps vita? I'm trying to decide if I want to invest time in hacking my vita (the idea of going to these sites and downloading the hack executables on my home PC squicks me out from an virus/malware perspective) or if I can just see what is available from the ps1and buy it... Good news, depending on the firmware you have already all the hacks can be run directly on the console. And if not, nobody has had any issues with the hacks provided by long time respected members of the scene so you’d be the first person ever to get stung by it if it happened.

Morpheus posted:If the memory card dies, is it possible to hack your vita at that point to get the sd card adapter thing on it, or do you need to do it before the card failure? Depends on the model. If it’s an OG fat then you need a memory card to apply the hack in the first place, if it’s a slim then you can do it without a memory card because it has the user accessible onboard storage.

Pastry of the Year posted:I turned my PSTV (hacked w/ SD2Vita) on after not using it for a while, and all my carefully alphabetized bubbles were in completely random order. Everything still works, but why on earth would that have happened? Did you have to re-set the clock? I don’t know about the PSTV since it doesn’t have a battery and I’ve never used one, but my Vita does some weird poo poo to my layouts if the battery runs completely flat, the first sign of which is having to re-set the clock since it obviously died.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Can the Vita still remote play the PS5? Weirdly I've never seen this discussed No, vita remote play relies on specific separate vita apps for the PS3 and PS4 rather than a generic “remote play” app like pc and mobile do, and Sony never made a PS5 one since the Vita was taken out back and shot before the PS5 launched.

I’m not gonna go through them all to check what does what now but make sure whichever one it is makes you install enso, to make your life easier forever. And if it ever says to unlink the memory card fuckin do it because otherwise it’s a huge headache.

mandatory lesbian posted:It was also a digimon cyber sleuth machine!...until the switch happened Fun thing I found out about the switch ports by accident is that the in game timer keeps running while the console is asleep, so I opened it up after a week or two of not playing to find that everything left in my farm was at max level and I could just take them out now and use them to break the game over my knee without even planning for it, ruining all challenge. Vita never did me dirty like that.

Get a 1000 and aim for a 3G model so you can use PSVSD instead of an SD2Vita imo. I always find them a bit fussy and it leaves the cartridge slot free for legit carts. The only downside is encasing the microSD card forever and doing all the management of files on that over USB or FTP but it’s 2024 and giant microSD cards are practically being given away so who cares.
