Hacking 64gb Vita-card broke, bought a SD2Vita and a 128gb microSD want some clarifications.

[SkyDX]

I need some help here, last night my official Sony 64gb memory card broke to the point where I can't even format it anymore after just three years of moderate use and looking at the outrageous memory-card pricing (40€ for 32gb used, 60€ for 64gb used on eBay) I decided to buy a 128gb Samsung EVO and a SD2Vita. The thing is I have 16 physical games so taking over my game-cart slot isn't ideal but I'm not paying Sony's prices and juggle memory-cards. So I came up with two scenarios and I I wonder what people think about them.

1: Dumping all my physical games with NoNPDRM and installing them to the SD2VITA, this would be of course the most convenient method and from what I heard nobody got banned for using good dumps yet, right?

2: Using the SD2Vita only for my digital games and keeping my remaining 4gb Sony memory-card in my memory-card slot. Then when I want to play a physical game I would turn off my Vita, remove the SD2Vita, insert my physical game and let the Vita boot off of the 4gb card to act as a save-data and patch-storage only.

My Vita is a 1000 model running 3.65 Enso.

What is my best option? Thanks for help in advance!

Option 3.

Download PKGJ and download the games you own. I haven't heard of anyone getting banned at all to be honest. Mines always online.

I'm not actually sure how you make a good dump of your carts. I wouldn't want to make maidumps of them.

Thanks for the reply! I rather try my luck with making my own NoNPDRM dumps then, aslong as I don't get banned I'll figure it out. I have a question about Neptunia Re:Birth 1 though, the game has no physical release in the EU, only digital so I imported a Canadian copy, would a dump reflect the game is Canadian?

If a game is American (there are to the best of my knowledge 0 games with differences between the actual card sold in USA & Canada) then of course its backup will be American (and it will keep using your American save/update)

That European game that may play very similiarly, 99% of the content the same, even have a similiar or equal name - will have a different TitleID and therefore they have the same relationship between them as Everybody's Golf 6 and Spelunker Collection, as far the console knows

Okay thanks that's reassuring! I can't wait for my SD2Vita to arrive, it's scheduled for Saturday or Monday and my Vita is essentially a brick till it does.
