Hacking SD2VITA 3.0 anyone tried this version~?

[Glyptofane]

has anyone tried V5 yet?

it's such a difference from V1 View attachment 108684

Got my v5 today to replace a v1 from Modsiah which seemed to be working fine anyway. I can't speak for anything in between, but the v5 is a much cleaner solution and is working great so far.

yeah v5 is much less of a heart attack taking out the adapter

my v1 was from srident it's been working fine it still does but I wanted something more official looking and srident came through

I ended up getting a V.3. The nice thing is you can pop it out to load files for the Vita, so you don't have to FTP or connect the whole Vita to the PC.

I got my v3 today. the main difference that I can tell between v2 and v3 is that micro sd card is no longer spring loaded which I do like. removing v2 required pressing it at the sides or the micro sd would come out along with the sd2vita cart.

It's worth noting that later version of v2 don't come springloaded. It also makes the microsd go further down in the slot, making it possible for the flap to close.

It's still better going with an actual case, but it's worth noting nonetheless

Does the new v5 PSD2VITA microsd sit flushed on the v1000 phat PSVita? I have a v3 card and the lid does not close all the way cause the microsd card is a tad too high.

Can anyone confirm if SD2Vita v5 and Samsung Evo 256 GB MicroSD work on PSV 2000 ?
I'm planning to get this version of SD2Vita but I don't have any device that supports this size of MicroSD !

As long as it's a legit samsung microsd (I would advise against purchasing from ebay etc) it will work fine.
I've used both a samsung evo select 128GB (sold and fulfilled by amazon) and a 200GB sandisk ultra.

If you are using a microsd larger than 128GB then when formatting the microsd as per https://www.codedonut.com/ps-vita-hacking/ps-vita-setup-sd2vita-tutorial/ you should set it to 64K 'allocation unit size' aka clusters, rather than the default of 128K that windows chooses when formatting a 200/256GB microsd.

I had issues with the vita showing significantly more data on the microsd (and hence less free space) than windows did. Formatting to 64K clusters fixed it.

What are the differences between a 3.0 and a 5.0 SD2Vita?

Does the v5 white have a spring loaded mSD?

Does the v5 white have a spring loaded mSD?

Don't think it does, and thank fuck for that.

What are the differences between a 3.0 and a 5.0 SD2Vita?

Nothing, really. It's just that "5.0" is there to seem like it is somehow more advanced.

I got a 3.0 (actually two since one was lost at the postaloffice but arrived eventually) and they work really well.

While the failure rate seems awfully high in comparison to earlier adapters, they do fit nicely.

They do! I'm surprised how little of a hassle there is to put them in, I though they were going to be a bit to big, but nope. They fit right in!
