The point of this exploit is for PS TV to be able to run PS Vita games it didn't have access to. Not for normal PS Vita to be able to run PS Vita games it can already do on its own.


So NO.

But soon it will allow portable Vitas to play games they couldn't before.

 

[Marty Chinn]

this seems like a alot of work

It's not. It's actually really easy and quick. It only takes a couple minutes and you're done.

 

[Paltheos]

A fair warning to everyone buying Ys Celceta: The game has a single, touchscreen puzzle midway into the game, and I don't know whether a solution is available via controller.

 

[Soupy]

This is much more tempting of a purchase now, especially since you can get it for $30 bucks!

 

[Az987]

updated the OP with full instructions.



you're doing it wrong - the *.eml is the equivalent of a *.doc for word. you need to open it with an email program.

Oh.. Well I installed Thunderbird and it worked, I think.

Had to use it on the second part too.

pstv has touchscreen emulation. use the DS4 touchpad or press both L3 and R3 on a DS3.

Uh oh.

Maybe I'll swap it into my regular Vita to beat the puzzle. Is the save for Ys stored on the cart or in the memory card?

pstv has touchscreen emulation.

Oh never mind then.

 

[Enigmatic Rainbow]

this seems like a alot of work

Not really, after following the correct instructions it takes only a couple minutes.

 

[HUELEN10]

Okay, I'm home and I've been reading through the thread, slightly wary of Vita-side things... And that's okay, because if I can make this system just for PSP games I've purchased, homebrew, and ISOs I've personally dumped for personal use, all on an HDTV, then it will have all been worth it. Any new source good for a beginner for specifically this? It's not familiar to me, I am far more familiar with Wii homebrew.

 

[Moofers]

Does this make PSP and PS1 games work too?

is there a list of incompatible games? I could try if I own some.

 

[nrvalleytime]

Ys Celteca was unplayable. If that one works, I'm sure anything else will work too. Try the Spyro and Crash games to be sure.

 

[Iacobellis]

Oh God... I may actually get a PSTV now. Just need to find that tiny 16GB memory card laying around somewhere.

 

[graywolf323]

I had to download Thunderbird on my Mac. Only client that worked for me.

gonna have to try this as well, was having no luck with either Mail or Outlook

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Neat. Seemed difficult to figure out at first but it turned out just fine. Currently playing Ys Celceta on my HDTV with super comfy Dualshock 4. Ys was the one reason I had kept my Vita before getting a PSTV and ended up trading in my Vita before ever completing the game. Will be nice to finally complete.

 

[MCD]

Ys works.

Don't own any crash or spyto. Mostly Japanese games here.

 

[Moofers]

Blood omen legacy of Kain
Bloody roar
Crash bandicoot
Spyro
Valkyria chronicles 2

Just off the top of my head

shit. don't own any but I can confirm that Ys works and can use the dualshock 3 sticks to use the touch functions.

 

[LayLa]

finally got it working, Danganronpa now available on UK TVs hell yeh.

 

[ShaoranWright]

What are the control options? Are you using a controller? Does the gyro work?

I'm using a DS4, using the touch panel I do all the touching stuff, but the gyro doesn't seem to work.

 

[Moofers]

shit. don't own any but I can confirm that Ys works and can use the dualshock 3 sticks to use the touch functions.

Thank you! I will try to think of some more Japanese games in the meantime. I know one more I've been waiting on is Brave Story New Traveler for PSP. Love it but it's never been downloadable for my vita.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

Does this take digital downloads or just carts or both?

 

[batrush]

Both.

 

[Vashetti]

Both.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

Both.

Sweet thx. I'm now on the hunt for one. Any links for best price online?

 

[cwistofu]

I'm happy with the PSTV as it is now, but I'll do this anyway for two things:

1. Ys Celceta
2. I could always use an eighth machine that can run Netflix in my apartment.

 

[PSYGN]

Just purchased a PS TV from Amazon for $37. So many cheap games for Vita.... here I come

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Thank you! I will try to think of some more Japanese games in the meantime. I know one more I've been waiting on is Brave Story New Traveler for PSP. Love it but it's never been downloadable for my vita.

Brave Story was taken off the PSN Store a while ago due to expiring licensing, so that one might be a little tricky.

 

[Mihos]

Worked fine for me, I used Tearaway since it was the only game I had on me I knew for sure wasn't supported. It launches, but crashes after the title screen. I actually need to figure out what games didn't work now so I can test!


I have an absolutely huge PSP physical library. I wish there was a way I could put them on (Brave Story is one of those games)

 

[graywolf323]

okay so I finally got the various things to work as instructed but when I try to launch any game I instead get an error message

"An error has occurred. (C2-15413-4)"

 

[Marty Chinn]

okay so I finally got the various things to work as instructed but when I try to launch a previously restricted game I instead get an error message

Which game was it? Also when you enabled the exploit, did it force you to setup an email account again?

 

[Xion_Stellar]

But soon it will allow portable Vitas to play games they couldn't before.

If there's was an similar exploit that allowed the PS TV and PS Vita to play all PSP/PS1 games it couldn't play before it would be glorious! (Because FFS Sony why no Crash on Vita!).

 

[mrklaw]

As someone not well versed in what the PSTV could and couldn't do, can someone give me a brief rundown of what's going to be available that wasn't?

Some games require a lot of touch/camera features which meant they weren't practical on PSTV. But a lot of games would have worked fine, except the publishers couldn't be bothered to whitelist them as PSTV compatible. Eg danganronpa works in the us and Japan, but not in Europe which is insane.

Shit son, you almost gave me a heart attack; I'm still tryin to figure how to turn this into a CFW PSP console dammit!

 

[Guymelef]

Any "ban danger" after doing this?

 

[napalmjam]

Mine stopped working after downloading games from the store but I just done the process again and it's fine

 

[Aeana]

Got it going. Here's Ys Celceta booting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaSXUax-C9I

Works really well.

 

[graywolf323]

Which game was it? Also when you enabled the exploit, did it force you to setup an email account again?

all games, looks like it's because I went with my spare yahoo email

trying with gmail now

 

[Xion_Stellar]

So is this a perma exploit or will we have to go through some steps to reanable this once we turn off the system? Kinda how you soft mooded a PSP?

 

[vongruetz]

Does this make PSP and PS1 games work too?

No, I don't think so. I tried some PSP games that work on my Vita but not on the PSTV. They still don't work.This seems to be for Vita games only.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Can anyone confirm this is true? Downloading from PSN removes the white list exploit?

 

[Audioboxer]

"An error has occurred. (C2-15413-4)"

This means you haven't copied the files via email successfully. Tips are use thunderbird and use gmail.

 

[mrklaw]

I'm guessing remote play would negotiate with the ps4 so they could update the ps4 app so it forces you to update the PSTV to run it. I use remote play a lot, but would really like danganronpa etc to work on it too. I could avoid updates for a while I guess, and then if they force an update I could always get a second PSTV for remoteplay

 

[Zoe]

So this works on the latest firmware? I haven't used my PSTV in almost a year, so it's due for an update.

 

[Gandalf]

I was concerned with the compatibility of some games when deciding to purchase a PSTV... So this exploit will definitely push me over the edge. Had a Vita since the UK launch but traded it in awhile back (Sorry VitaGAF), but I'll happily spend the £30 or so to play Vita and PSOne games on the big screen with a DS4. Thanks OP!

 

[DigitalDivide]

Shinobido 2 and Hyperdimension Neptunia 1 ReBirth still don't seem to work even after the exploit.

 

[xKilltheMx]

It's not. It's actually really easy and quick. It only takes a couple minutes and you're done.

Well then. Might do this. can I do this from my phone?

 

[Audioboxer]

Shinobido 2 and Hyperdimension Neptunia 1 ReBirth still don't seem to work even after the exploit.

From mr gas

the new games has another compatibility check in app.db

Seems like this trick won't be enough for some. Guess they might get fixed as things progress.

 

[calc84maniac]

Can anyone confirm this is true? Downloading from PSN removes the white list exploit?

I wouldn't be surprised if it redownloaded the whitelist file to make sure it's current.
