It's cheap because Chinese people are into it. So yeah they can even sell for 2$ as well. It's the same thing just made by different people/companies.
I had the same problem. I followed four different tutorials because they all had little variations in the steps they made. I finally got it to work by doing the normal steps (formatting SD, downloading the driver, etc.). The key part that worked for me:Cannot get mine to work being sent a replacement
I had the same problem. I followed four different tutorials because they all had little variations in the steps they made. I finally got it to work by doing the normal steps (formatting SD, downloading the driver, etc.). The key part that worked for me:
1) Copying the config.txt file from uX0 to ur0 (overwriting it).
2) Changing the uX0 taihen folder name to tai_DEL (some say you can delete it, but I'd rather just do this. I've tried it all other ways and this is what worked for 3 different vitas. So maybe I'm superstitious.)
3) on uR0 drive, edit the config.txt file. Right below the *KERNEL entry, I made a new entry:
4) Power down, insert the formatted microsd plus adapter (make sure the adapter is firmly way down into the slot. And make sure the microsd is "clicked" into its position as well).
- Press X on Kernel to go into edit mode.
- Press "Line Break" green button on Vita keyboard.
- Type "ur0:tai/gamesd.skprx
- On the left-hand side of the keyboard, press the "double down arrow" key (below shift key) which will bring you out of edit mode.
- Press circle button. Vita will ask if you want to save changes.
- Press X to save changes.
5) Start Vita.
That worked for me. I used the first driver to mount it as ux0.
I've been able to get it to work without a Vita memory card. On one of my consoles, for some reason, I've tried to set it up without the Vita card in the unit (moving Vitashell to main memory, etc. so. I'm not reliant on having memory card inserted), however, it would only work with the Vita card. And of course, after SD2Vita mounts, it unmounts the Vita memory card. Supposedly, you should be able to have both at the same time, however, that has not worked for me.
That happened on 3 or 4 of my attempts. I can follow directions very well. I've hacked 2 Wii Us, 4 3DSs, flashed 360s, OG Xbox, and so on. I follow directions exactly, and I swear the shit was just not working. What was problematic was some of the guides didn't tell you to copy the config.txt from ux0 to ur0. I don't know if that made the difference, but it might have. It's differences like that (when instructions are not identical) that make it difficult to pinpoint faults in the process.That's exactly what I did, however it restarted and said "card needs formatting" I clicked ok, it formatted my vita card and not the SD2vita....
Gonna try again another day, when I get a day off....
I created a quick guide after I solve my own issue on my thread I created recently after solving my enso + sd2vita issue. It should still be on the first page and it have the link to the wololo guide.I got the Chinese SD2Vita but I can't seem to find the tutorial i saved before on how to set it up...can anyone send me a link?
I hear the cheap ones are soldered poorly so I would go with the slightly more expensive one

do you have enso install and the gamesd.skprx with the config.txt edit?I've having issues with mine, even though I'm 99.99% sure I followed the steps in post 43 above and have seated it the right way around/fully in. Quick question before I get in touch with ebay seller and ask for a replacement, I've read a few posts about the led flashing when it is seated correctly, I've never seen my leds flash even once with the sd2vita in, despite multiple attempts to get it seated right. Using a game card the led flashes straight away, is this indicative of a fault with the sd2vita?
