Hi guys,
I'm the dev behind NeoVitaDB.

i wanted to do a little post here to tell to be carefull with external sources if you plan to use them.

Stay safe and double-check what you're downloading.

Hey guys. There are a decent number of PS2 ports on the Vita, like the Sly games, R&C games, MGS2+3, etc. So how come we don’t get many fan-made PS2 ports on the Vita?

Is it just that difficult to recomp (is that the right term?) PS2 era games, or is it technically impossible for some reason. What are the roadblocks?

I know nothing about developing software for the Vita or development in general, so I’m sorry for the stupid question.

BrewStation is a homebrew store, similar to VitaDB, but has support for the PS Vita, PSP & PS3. We have merged with Homebrew Avenue a few weeks ago and we are making some progress! Right now, I've set up a new site containing homebrews, and you can submit your own homebrews here. There will soon be a client too and you can also make your own store based on BrewStation, since the goal of the project is to make it decentralized, and the client will also support other stores than the BrewStation store. There will also be support for plugins soon. And VitaHomebrewDB (formerly VitaDB-too) will be integrated into BrewStation too.

We also have a discord server, if you want to see discussions and/or give suggestions: https://discord.gg/cAVM5wCyyg

Rinnegatamante has brought back VitaDB with all apps back.

Some things related to how VitaDB is maintained are going to change and some new features will be introduced.

We have first warned here that we would moderate this sub against comments about the 1 August events Going forward with r/vitahacks and new rules : r/vitahacks

I've allowed on a special occasion a thread yesterday for everyone to empty their bag directly to the concerned person. While not breaking rule 4.

On the VitaDB revival post it seems that many didn't understand what "enforcing" means, and we removed many comments and 1 month banned 7 users to allow them to cool down their heads.

I will reiterate as a final warning. You can always comment that you dislike the dev, won't use his tools and name alternatives. And other comments that does not break rule 4. But if you come here just to fuel the drama again, there will be consequences.

From now on, if we have to remove your comment, we will ban you for 1 month. We have been quiet lenient allowing as much as possible people to express their anger because the sub isn't a totalitarian regime protecting the dev, but this isn't r/vitadrama.

If you cannot contain the urge of making toxic/political comments, there are many other vita subreddit to do that. Do not ruin the subreddit experience of other users for your vendetta.

First thing first, I want to thanks the moderators for allowing this posts to even exist since the new subreddit rules would prevent it to be opened starting with.

So, I'm making this post mostly cause I got asked to make it from a few people nearby me rather than because I genuinely think people would start at least consider my side of the story. I expect this whole post to get downvoted to hell and be used as a vector to reiterate all the hateful comments I received in the last week, but maybe I'll be postively proven wrong, we'll see.

I spent the last 10 years working on Vita stuffs without ever asking anything in return, so I hope that you can spend at least 10 minutes of your time reading what I have to say. After that, you're free to keep insulting me if you wish.

A lot of people already know what's the fuss of the whole situation but if you don't, let me summary it in short (I'm sure if you want to get deeper in the situation there are plenty of other posts you can look at): Recently several posts I made on my personal Discord server (which now is private but used to be public at the time the incident occurred) got mass reported and I received several sanctions (most of them reverted after appealing) that caused my account to be unable to even write messages for several days (around 5 days). The account in question was also used for work (cause I'm stupid... should've definitely used a brand new account for work related stuffs but it is what it is) causing me also issues to interact with co-workers during these days for obvious reasons. The messages that got reported (at least a part) were rightfully sanctioned cause I definitely went overboard with words and I totally agree that the sanction received was fair, but some others were palesely made in bad faith just to get my account potentially terminated and the whole server shutted down (I received reports even for a message just saying "true" for instance). The messages in question that got screenshoted and posted in this subreddit and on VitaPiracy subreddit were extrapolated from way longer conversations with other users related to some media news covering violent crimes perpetrated in recent years in Europe (for some screenshots) and the recent Ceuta events in which the Spanish border got assaulted in a single moment by over 60.000 moroccan individuals (for another one).

I've made a full statement where I explained my side of things and I apologized for when I generalized/went overboard with words on Twitter that can be found here (I changed the . with , in the link cause reddit is quite angry with twitter links these days): https://x,com/Rinnegatamante/status/2083880189809823800

You can check the statement and the chain of comments that generated from that post on Twitter, and you can also check the subsequent posts I made were I also tried to explain more my side of the story to people that genuinely criticized my words while still keeping the tones civil. I also furtherly apologized in that chain of posts for having generalized some statement where I absolutely shouldn't have.

A lot of people on reddit are still using harsh words in my regards which make me believe that they never had the chance to at least read my side of things, so I'm making this posts mostly for this exact reason, so that you can form their own opinion.

A lot of people will say that I'm making these statements just to cover up and that they're not genuine cause I'm making them after I got exposed, which is a fair way of thinking, but the point is that no one ever tried to reach me out and criticize my word BEFORE mass reporting and sharing screenshots on reddit, so it's not like I can address something before someone raises it as a problem... I guess for this one you have to believe what I say, but people that were in my Discord server for years or developers that worked in strict contact with me for years do know that those statements I made aren't even remotely what I trully believe and when I apologized for having went overboard they were sincere statements.

A lot of people also started raising up other side accusations: saying that all I did for the Vita was for money of my Patreon. Well, I have a full time job which in a single month salary gives me more money than the lifetime earnings I got from Patreon since I started it. It's ridicolous to think that my Patreon and the "fear of it becoming smaller cause of AI" made me crash out. The Patreon money I received in these years had always been used for 90% in covering webhost and domain costs of VitaDB, acquiring hw for working on more contents for the scene (namingly a devkit that I own) and for covering keys and licenses to port new stuffs (for example when i ported RTCW, i actually used Patreon money to buy the game on Steam).

Some people also said that the whole accusation to vibecoders mass reporting me was just a charade to divert from the political messages: well, the vast majority of the screenshots that got posted recently are from conversations that are 4 months old. If the reports were genuinely made for the political messages and that only, I would've got reported and sanctioned 4 months ago, not exactly right after I make a public statement where I say that VitaDB was going to take harsher countermeasures to reduce the advertisement and recognition that vibecoders would've got on the platform. Does it mean that I have tangible indisputable evidences that vibecoders were behind the mass reports? Of coruse not, but I don't believe in cohincidences.

Also for what is worth about VitaDB and its centralized approach: VitaDB was never meant to be centralized starting with. Probably a lot of people here weren't already following the scene when VitaDB started but VitaDB originally was not only opensource (you can find an archive of the last opensource version here: https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/VitaDB ) but the whole content database was public. Originally VitaDB used the Bintray OSS program that allowed opensource projects to receive unlimited storage and 10 TB of bandwidth per month for the used storage. I had to shift to a centralized closed source approach due to the attacks I kept receiving from CBPS. First the bintray storage had to go cause those gentlemen started DDoSing the bintray links. In 30 hours from the Bintray monthly bandwidth reset they managed to consume 30TB of bandwidth making the whole website literally unoperative. From that I moved to a personal webhost to prevent any disruption of services due to targeted attacks. After few months also the opensource aspect had to go cause the sourcecode uploaded on GitHub was getting used to find new vectors for malicious attacks to the website. And that lead to what VitaDB is even nowadays: a full centralized closed source database.

So to conclude, long story short:

I renew my apologizes for everytime I went overboard or generalized like a stupid dumb in those conversations that got screenshoted. My Twitter statement covers what my political stance related to migration is but in short is: I make a distinction between migrants that comes to start a new life and work hard everyday to build up to it and the ones that comes whose only project is to commit heinous (often violent) crimes. The second ones are the ones I want out of my country.

If you want to keep hating me, go for it. I don't pretend to be liked by everyone, since that's impossible. If you have any questions related to VitaDB, any statement you've seen in those screenshots that you want to know more cause it sounds awful, Vita Nuova server, etc, leave a comment and I'll reply to as many as possible, as far as the conversation is kept civil. If you have to just scream the usual words we've all seen repeated non stop for the last week, i'll just ghost your comments cause it's pointless for me to even try to address these.

EDIT: It already spiraled down to what I said it would've happened at the start of this post. Thanks again to the moderators for at least making this post exist. I'll be unsubscribing from the post since it's pointless to keep replying to hateful posts just to get downvoted on any comment from the cancel mobbing machine.

It was only a matter of time before the unauthenticated requests used by VitaTube stopped being reliable. Unfortunately, that point has now arrived.

I investigated whether VitaTube could keep supporting YouTube by running the required client-side challenge directly on the PS Vita. We experimented with a lightweight browser-compatible environment, including JavaScript execution and the browser components needed by the challenge, but we were unable to produce a reliable solution on the console.

Continuing to chase private provider internals, remote challenge-solving services, or other fragile workarounds is outside the scope of this project. I do not want VitaTube to depend on undocumented systems that can change at any moment.

With some regret, I have therefore decided to change VitaTube’s direction. It will become a polished local video and music player for the PS Vita.

The hardware-accelerated playback pipeline will remain. In particular, 720p at 60 fps—one of the project’s main technical achievements and core features—will continue to be supported.

The new direction currently includes:
- Local video and music playback.
- Hardware-accelerated H.264 decoding.
- Continued 720p60 support.
- Authenticated streaming from personal servers through SFTP, WebDAV and SMB.
- A reusable version of the hardware playback pipeline, with a documented stream interface and integration example.

SFTP, WebDAV and SMB support currently works in theory and compiles, but it still needs extensive testing on real PS Vita hardware and different server configurations before its feasibility and reliability can be confirmed.

Future video-provider integrations are still possible, but only where a service offers a suitable public API and permits this kind of streaming client. Any future integration will be implemented according to that provider’s documented API, authorization requirements and platform policies.

This is not the outcome I originally hoped for, but the work behind VitaTube—especially its hardware-accelerated 720p60 player—will not be abandoned.

It will instead become the foundation of a more independent, stable and sustainable media player for the PS Vita.

Thank you to everyone who tested VitaTube, reported issues and supported the first release.

Hey everyone,

https://preview.redd.it/lrmp0y1o3uih1.png?width=3840&format=png&auto=webp&s=502cce8aa86af61dc362d05101a74837c58df5fc

A few days ago, my friend Sung ported (vibecoded) Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus, so we had the game in internal testing. Recently, MeninoSung made a more polished version available for testing; we played and tested it, though some issues, the ones listed in the repository, persisted.

Anyway, since some people were decided to release this test version to the public. (not cool, guys). Since that happened, Sung and I decided to release v1.0, paying attention to LiveArea features.

Enjoy, and have a good game!
