Hacking Trying to Install Ark on Vita with 3.61 Firmware and Failing Miserably

Wait, do emulators go in the ISO folder too even though they aren't ISOs?

afaik it doesnt matter much where you put it, but the vita has only write access to the iso folder and to the savedata folder when in ark

I was just curious because I put my emulators in the savedata folder.

Also, do you know where the ROMs are supposed to go with Picodrive? I genuinely don't know, there's no premade ROM directory inside the folder.

i don't, never used the psp picodrive emulator. but i'd say just put them in the picodrive folder

Alright, I'll try that.

Decided to go with SNES, Genesis, and N64 emulators. Should be fun!

the n64 emulator is not that great, but it can play mario 64 lol.

i can recommend getting a gba emu. Have fun!

Well the SNES emulator I got has a lot of issues...it won't play most patched games at all and the ones it does play it plays with serious glitches.

Does anyone know of an alternative? The ones I've looked into all seem to require Henkaku...

I also noticed that Picodrive can see my ROMs but can't actually load them and I have no idea why.

Alright, I'm pretty close to finished...but I noticed the tutorial mentions a PBOOT.PBP file which running psvimg-extract was supposed to create. However, what I have instead is an EBOOT.PBP file. The ARK download has both a PBOOT and an EBOOT file. Do I bring over both?

EDIT-Tried copying over both the EBOOT and PBOOT and I get an error (C2-12858-4) trying to copy back the game I patched. I can't see the ARK files I copied into my saved data backup either.

EDIT2-Brought over the files but I have no ARK bubble. I'm lost...

Wait. How did you go about the error? I only get an EBOOT file. still cant get a PBOOT file from the EXTRACT on PSVIMG tools. Help.
