Hi

As we're some weeks on from the Enso 3.65 update, I am wondering how people have been finding it? I have sat on the fence a while as I didn't want to update and find out that certain homebrew apps didn't work. I know TheFlow has updated Adrenaline which is said to work fine (or so I heard), but what about things like MaiDump and Retroarch? I realize the questions in this post may have been asked before and so if they have, I apologize. But I just wanted some feedback on any positives / negatives outside of the fact it plays 3.65 games.

Thanks all.

Theres no sense in updating to 3.65, you can play dumped 3.65 games on 3.60, on 3.65 you cant reinstall fw, you may have problems with compatibility, you cant use browser to install henkaku etc. We get alot of people with this kind of problems on vitahacks/cfw guide discord.
Really, dont update if u arent 100% sure.

Thanks for the reply but I don't know whether you've misconstrued what I meant. I'm on 3.60 Enso and am trying to decide whether to update to 3.65 Enso as there are games that cannot be played on 3.60 that require 3.65. What I want to know though is before upgrading, what does and doesn't work after updating. TheFlow updated Adrenaline to work, but what about everything else like MaiDump, VitaShell, Retroarch. Has anyone run into any issues with these apps after doing TheFlow's update.

Vitashell works of course... it was updated before the 3.65 updater was made, lol - same for Adrenaline

Mai (at least the dumper part), Vitamin, SaveMgr and other apps that inject into installed titles - the way they work (unsigned "update" for a commercial game) was blocked in 3.63, but the "RePatch" plugin unlocks them again; since RePatch uses a different folder for updates (so that you can ALSO use an official game update, it was intended for translations and hacks) you need a mod of RePatch that uses the original folder OR a modded version of the homebrews (recommended)

I don't use Retrocrap but unless it hardcodes system functions it doesn't care about version (and if it does, it would probably have been updated, by now); the same reasoning is true about every kernel plugin, or usermode plugin that registers with a system title

there are games that cannot be played on 3.60 that require 3.65.
What he meant is that someone with a modded console can use Vitamin/Mai to decrypt any game they can play, and therefore (usually) run 3.61+ games on another 3.60 console (with the usual inaccuracies/limitations of decrypted dumps, and only if the games don't actually use 3.61+ functions - are there any? lol)

I don't really care about the dumper part of Maidump, it was mainly to install the various games floating around that aren't in PKG form. Maidump has been a lifesaver for these, presumably they were originally dumped via Maidump. I haven't looked into any other tool to convert them to pkg, but I would assume one exists.

Thanks for the reply, you've been very helpful.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
