    Vita won't turn on

    My Vita 11xx won't turn on after messing with ribbon cables (For gamepads?) See Initial Issue below. Plug in power adaptor: No light. Hold Power Button: Slow single orange blink for as long as it's held. No display. It's as though the Vita's saying "There's a battery connection and the power...

    Prompted To Set Date & Time Often

    Lately, my Vita 1000 3G has been requiring the Date & Time to be set at boot. It's not every time, and I've never let the battery run out. I hear there's no dedicated CMOS battery, so why's it doing this?

    Ar Tonelico Qoga : Knell of Ar Ciel - Data Install failed

    I tried Ar Tonelico Qoga : Knell of Ar Ciel for the first time (ISO). It had a mandatory install. But it says "Failed to install Game Data" and tells you to delete the Game Data. Tried on 2 different systems (EvilNat 4.90 and a Hen). Both have 1752 MB of supposedly corrupt Game Data. Is there a...

    Working Database Backup & Restore Tool?

    Anyone know which Database Backup & Restore tools work best? Can't remember which 2 or 3 I used (deleted them for being useless), but everytime I ever needed to restore, there'd be some syntax or SQL error screen. I thought having a PSVSD would make me immune to random database corruption, but...

    Final Fantasy 5 Issues:

    I have the ported Final Fantasy 5 but have a few issues. It intermittently crashes when a battle should start, and all sound is lost whenever the Airship theme should be playing. Even returning to the Title screen in-game doesn't restore sound. Does anyone else have this issue or did I get a bad...

    Infamous Predicted Covid

    Remember Infamous? Replaying it post-Covid, I got a bit spooked by some similarities with the plot and recent events / conspiracies. See screenshot. And USTV = CNN, the quarantine measures and vaccine... (Despite the Ray Sphere had no effects on non-conduits? Plot may have changed in Infamous...

    Dolmexica Infinite Character Recommendations

    So Dolmexica Infinite was ported to Vita. It's Mugen, the custom fighting game engine. You'll find endless matchups on Youtube dating back to the 2000s. I could use some character recommendations as compatibility and finding good characters are still as tricky as ever. Maybe I'll see if I can...

    Sonic Mania Blue Spheres Trophy Glitches

    So it's great that Sonic Mania on Vita now has trophies. But 'Full Metal Jacket' and 'No Way? No Way' won't pop. From what I read from official guides, you only need to complete all the Blue Spheres special stages from the star posts, getting all Gold. There's a Mania Mode in Extras that...

    Metroid Picross Idea

    Inspired by Zelda Picross, I had an idea for a Metroid-themed Picross game. It would have similar out-of-puzzle backtracking and stat mechanics. Items & upgrades to benefit in-puzzle and others outside In-Puzzle: Energy Tanks = Health for wrong choices X-Ray Scope to enable Navigation...

    PS3 Smoothing for PS2 Games

    I've been playing Castlevania: Lament of Innocent on my PS3 and it seems to have aged pretty well for a 20+ year old game. Is the Smoothing options really that good? Maybe CFW threw in more shader goodies? And wonder if it's pre- or post- processing.

    Twilight DS emulation, Lines Duplicated on Bottom of Screen

    Intermittently, no matter the game, sometimes there's a few chunks of lines on the bottom of the screens (both I believe) duplicated. I'd take a screenshot if I had a tool to extract from screenshots.tar (assuming it shows up on the screenshots). Like, say these are the proper lines (in groups...

    Repaste & Reflow QuestionsI just did my first thermal repaste, on my backup PS3. Arctic Silver MX-4, 'X' pattern. I didn't do anything to heat up the

    So I just did my first thermal repaste, on my backup PS3. Arctic Silver MX-4, 'X' pattern. I didn't do anything to heat up the CPU & RSX before separating the main board but I cleaned up the old paste well. End result, temps dropped 33% (in the 40s). Booted up fine. But start up a GPU-intense...

    PSP Minis or Remaster Launcher?

    I finally got PSP games to run on PS3. It the proper launchers for Webman Mod (even though IrisMan would display the games without it, the errors from trying were unclear). Question is, which of the 2 launchers: Minis or Remasters is better? I'm assuming Remasters as PS3's internal settings...

    Zelda Picross (Vita Port) crashes at startup

    I liked the 3DS port of this but it doesn't have a button for Hypothesis Mode (Per https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/Zelda_Picross_Vita on Vita it's Triangle). Problem is, this port crashes at startup and there's no known issue. This could be a more general problem as many homebrews simply crash at...

    Improper Shutdowns

    Should I be worried about improper shutdowns? When exiting Zelda Pircross (The Fangame), there's always a black screen with an option to save a crash dump. Maybe there's a fundamental difference in operating system design because improper shutdowns tend to be bad for Windows, PS3, Vita, etc.

    Best File Manager for EXFAT?

    I currently have a 5TB External WD Elements formatted as NTFS attached to my PS3. I chose NTFS because it's fully supported by EvilNat. But I was thinking of dual-purposing this drive for PS4 use with APP2USB since I don't think I'll fill it up with PS3 games. But then I'd have to format it as...

    Jailbroken PS4 and PS4 Game

    I think I'm about to get a jailbroken PS4. Without discussing sources, it seems that everything I find is in PKG format, not ISO. Is this just how it is for PS4? Maybe disc games are distributed as PKGs because of mandatory installs? Will I be able to play off of an external hard drive or will I...

    PS4 Offline Web Exploit?

    I'm thinking of buying a PS4 with 9.00 but the hassle of having to re-exploit it at each boot is a bit too much without internet at home. I need to confirm a few things before deciding: I saw on a Youtube video, what appeared to be the PS4 browsing caching one of the exploit pages. Does that...

    Can't mount PSP ISO, Save Compatibility Questions

    PS3, 4.90 EvilNat, Either through Webman Mod or Iris Tools, I can't play PSP games. They're detected locally from /dev_hdd0/PSPISO yet get a mounting error. Also, I have a question about save compatibility. I've been using my PS Classic for PSP emulation. But Adrenaline on Vita isn't compatible...

    Brick Scare

    I had a real scare the other day. My Vita would hang at the PS logo at boot. Safe Mode menu would appear after a forced shutdown... Tell it to rebuild but still froze in the same spot. Various patterns of flashing blue PS light too after a tap of the power button. I know I knocked the mainboard...
