VITA VITA Owners: help me test things

[Spike's iconSpike]

Hello, in this thread I will ask vita owners to test things for me, since I sadly don't have a VITA to do it myself.
Please only post here if you will test this stuff I'm asking for

Let's go!

---

Question #1: (SOLVED) ANSWER "YES"
For the game: KanColle Kai (PCSG00684)
I want to know if placing this "Media" folder under /repatch/PCSG00684/ makes the game run in English or not.

---

Question #2 (SOLVED) ANSWER "YES"
I need to know if using pkg2zip, extracting it, and moving the "work.bin" into:

\<GAME_ID>\sce_sys\package\

is enough to create a proper NoNpDrm dump that would play as is in your consoles. Download test.

---

Question #3 (SOLVED) ANSWER "YES"
I want to know if these game files work on vita (requires the rePatch & NoNpDrm plugins).
The difference is I replaced the original japanese files with dummy 0 bytes ones, since those will be replaced by repatch with English translated ones, this reduces the game size by half.
But I don't know if the VITA will like that or not.

---

Question #4 (SOLVED) ANSWER "NO"
I want to know, if of any of the vita games on The Repo labeled [vita3k] also work on vita consoles.
Test any 'official' game (So no English patched ones/undubs, etc).

If no one else replies in the meanwhile, I can test it later today.

It works but doesn't translate everything.

 

[lvl]

Yo space cowboy.
It works! Seems to translate menus, tips and combat explanations. Seems enough to play it.

Heres some samples, sorry i had to use my phone to take them.

I'd say it's worth uploading to the repo then. Thanks ?

Added Question #2!

 

[Spike's iconSpike]

Can use this to test question 2

Earth Defense Force 2: Invaders From Planet Space (USA) VITA ISO – RGT Repository

Guys, this is the first time I make my own NoNpDrm pack, I'm told this is the best and quickest way possible to get a game running for VITA users. Please test it and if this works I'll do everything like this from now on. Vita3k Installation: Do not extract the .zip! Open Vita3k File … Continue...

@Spike , you can delete this message if it's better or you don't need it, I wasn't sure where to post it.

On reddit I found this, I share it because it contains the file ripped by the physical version of "Race The Sun"; on pkgj you find the digital versions, both US and EUR, but this one has an extra mode.
I know because I owned the physical version some year ago, when I had the psvita before reselling it along with all the boxed games... and now that I've decided to own a vita again I'm glad I found this version of a game I liked a lot. You have to delete the space after the word "mediafire" for the link to work.

I don't know if you want/need/think it's ok to upload it or not, it's just a suggestion because of the extra mode in physical version, and because the psysical version is now very rare (it was published by LimitedRun)

Thanks is this encrypted/NoNpDrm?

 

[psvitaforever]

Thanks is this encrypted/NoNpDrm?

I admit my ignorance about this terms :( I'm almost 100% sure I've just unzip the file and copied the folder PCSEetc inside the u0/app, just like you wrote in the instructions for the "Earth Defence Force Invaders 2", and then maybe "refresh Live area" from VitaShell (that should be like "update your vita screen so new games will show). This should work fine on a hacked vita with all the main plugins installed, just copy-paste-play. But maybe someone else can test it as well, so you can have another confirm.

 

[Spike's iconSpike]

I see , yeah it is, thanks ?
I'll be closing this, I think I understand how vita works now, from now on I'll release 2 versions of each game one for vita users and another for vita3k.
I know how to create both now. :)

Hello frends, I'm back with another problem.
See question #3 please.

 

[nachito]

I remember deleting files on Miracle Girls Festival to reduce size. It should work without dummy files.

Right! See i just read that:

If they are already in /repatch you don't need the original files at all!
That's awesome, downloading 3 GB instead of 6 is a big deal.

Works, no issues.

This is huge.
You have no idea how much storage this saves me.

Thanks for testing.

 

[gleep]

I have a model 2000 Vita if you need more testing.

 

[Juiceala]

I have a PS Vita model 2000 if you need testers, I also have several games/hacks/and ports that may be of interest, for example I have a hack of Crazy Taxi Fare Wars for the PSP that restores the og DC ost!

 

[Hikari.EXE]

I have a 1000 model, launch release even. Been going strong since 2011, 14 years of service, throw anything in my way and I'll test it.

 

[Zerpina]

I Absolutely would help, unfortunately my Vita's SD Card Slot, keeps Corrupting my SD Cards <think it's the Vita2SD adapter> I'm going to order a new one here shortly <after i try a Orig vita sd card i still have> will let ya know

Weird, I have both the SD2Vita and a og SD Vita card, both work in tandem

So do i, but i think the SD2Vita adapter has Derped out. everytime i load up a sd card into it, and start the Vita up. it keeps giving me the "This Card is Corrupt and can not be used in this System" message, so Either the Adapter is doing it, or the Vita is

Right, what model you're rocking with? My cousin had a similar issue with his 2000 model, they even sent it to repair.
