Hi I've jailbroken Psvita henkaku etc used Sony 8gb memory card. Is it mod on the system itself or memory card. ???And if anything happens to the Sony memory card what should I do. I also have sdvita 2 128gb set up uxo etc . 🙏

8 years later, it's done! 🎉

The dreaded green power LED on the Vita 2000 - that little floodlight whose only job was to announce, at eye-searing brightness, glowing up the room's ceiling, that the console you are actively holding is indeed switched on - can finally be turned off. People have been asking for this since 2018, but it stayed unsolved, because the slim's power led isn't wired like the other LEDs.

It turned out it was never reachable via GPIO - it hangs off the syscon MCU ("Ernie"), which drives it from its own power/charge policy. The off switch is a completely different path: sceSysconCtrlLedBlinkType2 (syscon command 0x89F), found by systematically probing the syscon LED command surface on real hardware, one command at a time. (Full disclosure on the how: I did this with a lot of help from Claude - Opus spent weeks going in circles, then Fable traced the right command family and cracked it in a day of hardware sessions.)

It's now a drop-in fork of noled:

• power LED off whenever the console is on - finally distraction-free play in the dark
• orange charging indication preserved (also in standby)
• the plugin re-applies itself after wakeup from standby
• vita 1000 autodetected - keeps the classic noled behavior

Install: drop noled.skprx into ur0:tai/, add it under *KERNEL in your taiHEN config.txt, reboot. No config file needed; uninstalling restores everything stock.

I wanted my saves to be easily transferable between my Vita and PS TV, so I made this.

What it does

• timestamped ZIP snapshots of Vita, game card, and PSP/Adrenaline saves
• uploads them to a "PSV Saves" folder in your own Google Drive - no third-party servers, and the app can only see files it created itself
• any of your devices can pull down and restore a snapshot uploaded by another one
• game grid with real titles and icons, Vita / Homebrew / PSP tabs, sorting by name / last saved / last synced
• Google sign-in by scanning a QR code with your phone - no typing on the Vita, and the sign-in persists
• before any restore, the current save is snapshotted automatically (content-matched, so no duplicate snapshots pile up) - restoring can't lose anything
• progress bars for transfers, follows your system Cross/Circle confirm setting, Japanese titles render properly

Adrenaline v8.0.0 is alive!!!!

https://github.com/isage/Adrenaline/releases/tag/v8.0.1

This is a big release, with new features, bug fixes, and more power to players and PSP homebrew developers alike.

It represents community effort, where Adrenaline and ARK developers joined forces to improve the status quo not only for our projects but for the entire PSP(emu) ecosystem.

We hope you enjoy this release.

The new documentation is here: https://adrenaline.sarcasticat.com/docs/

Here are the changes what I believe most people will care about:

• New graphical filters
• PS1 per-title image overlay filters
• Support for all ISO and Compressed ISO formats: ISO, CSO, CSOv2, JSO, ZSO and DAX
• Improved PBP support (no longer needs plugins to launch official PBP)
• Improved ISO drivers
• Improved game compatibility
• New plugin configuration format
  • One file to rule them all!
  • Support enabling/disabling plugins for specific title ID or binary paths. No longer you need to have a hard time with plugins for specific titles that breaks other titles and homebrew.
• New GPU-rendered VSH Menu
• CFW configuration and Plugin manager directly on the XMB
• Support to select a path to use as PSP System Storage (a.k.a. ef0:. No longer you need to keep changing the Memory Stick path to access both of your drives
  • Read the documentation for some limitations

We have many other changes, perhabs more niche, but you can check the full changelog for those XD

Many improvements for the quality of life of homebrew developers as well.

Update

A point release was made (v8.0.1), fixing a tiny bug that made Categories Lite not able to get to the ISO/CISO files inside the categories folder.

TO the ones that already installed v8.0.0, the update process should be as simple as going to the System Update and download the new version.

Looks like a user Fishyfishyfishy on gbatemp created a fan translation for Itadaki Street. Keep in mind this just released, so there might be bugs.

It does look like they're continuing to tinker on it, so it might not hurt to wait for further updates.

From what I understand, there's also another user working on their own translation. Considering the nature of these games though, I think even passable translations should be fine.

Edit: changed resetera to gbatemp

Hi, I recently bought a Vita 1000 model and jailbroke it very recently. Everything was functioning as intended until I realized that the seller had left his account on the device. I used Vita Account Manager to do so, followed the procedure and managed to remove the account without reformatting my SD card.
After that my Vita kept getting notifications of Vitatester receiving an update. I updated it a few times, but every time I powered it on it would still tell me that the app needs an update. First it tells me Vitatester needs an update, I update that then Vitatester MOD needs an update and it continues to go back and forth. I reinstalled both Vitatester and VitaDB but it still notifies me of an update.
It didn't do this before obviously and sometimes when I try to open VitaDB it tells me that it needs an internet connection when the Vita is already connected to the internet. It does open after the second time I try to open it.
What could be the cause of this? I'm super new to this and couldn't really find anything regarding this problem(?) I don't use Enso just the bare minimum of the existing jailbreak with a few plugins.

*pics for attention^* (last pic is smm i'm working on for us :) (dont steal :<)

News dropped a day or two ago that PlayStation is discontinuing the PS Store for Vitas and PS3s.

Even though the store pretty-much has nothing of value to us, what if we all use this week to download as many free games and/or apps as we can (not everything lol, just saying like 3-5 apps or smm). I'd imagine PlayStation seeing an sudden influx of users using their psn servers for their vita. Maybe it'll spark a positive thought into someone higher up @ Playstation, letting them know we love the vita! (this isnt abt the store's revival, its abt the revival of the vita)

what if this is our final chance to let PlayStation know we exist.

what if we just found a flare that we can shoot to let them know not to give up on us and their vita that we find special.

Please don't doubt this idea without a reason, we already don't have many options in terms of helping to save the vita. What do you guys think? and should we start acting now? if we wait too long they may not think of it as a response to the shutdown anymore.

I had this weird concept in my mind of an Xbox franchise on the PS Vita, most specifically PGR or Project Gotham Racing. There's no decomps or recomps of any of the PGR games right now, and I know for a fact that PGR 3 and 4 will not run on PS Vita even if it got heavily optimized, so I decided to make something of my own in Unity (which happens to have a version for the PS Vita).

It's still a very bare bones proof of concept, but it showcases my idea clearly: Project Gotham Racing on the PlayStation Vita system. FPS could be improved, that's for sure.

My idea is not to make a fully fledged PGR experience, but rather make something that brings the most basic things from said franchise like the Kudos XP system to the console in a portable manner. Look at it as a demo, just a few cars, some racing modes, and off you go to try them out on the PS Vita.

There's many things to fix with this, and my main focus will be the car controller. And no, this is not available for sharing yet, and I quote just like Bizarre Creations quoted when they were developing PGR 4, I'll publish a build of this when I feel like "it's actually done."

The game is now available to download on Game Jolt! Simply download the vpk and install it on your Vita.

If you encounter any bugs or issues, feel free to report them either under this post or in the comments on Game Jolt.

Download the game here!

Early, early days:

- built from Xbox source and seeking off .xiso-

- GXM backend semi-functional-

-XMV's and XATC audio working-

-menus and inits functional-

-shaders incomplete-

-Havok physics currently disabled and parts have to be built from scratch-

-CPU getting hammered (and that's before Havok integration)-

etc. etc . A mountain of todos

Don't hold your breath on this being dropped anytime soon.

If/when Havok is solved and openworld frames are passable - it'll get a release!
