Brand New Vita

Post by kingofpool »

Hi all, i just got my hands on a brand new vita with 1.06 installed, already tried to link it to my psn account after restoring, but it asks me to update everytime i connect it to the internet.
i 'm still on 1.06, i would also like to know what's the best fw to be on for homebrew?
what should i do first in order to get it to run my homebrews?
i also have a ps3, and therefore a way to transfer the exploit game, so i think that won't be a problem
thanks in advance

Hi kingofpool,
this article should answer most of your questions. As for what firmware to choose, as far as i know, with some older
firmwares eCFW could make use of more ram than with newer firmwares. But i think there's not too many homebrews
that make use of the additional ram. Maybe someone can give a little bit more detail here.
Also keep in mind, that some Vita games require a certain FW or higher.

That article is perfect for what you need; except for the fact that the chart there is outdated, this one is updated: http://www.zload.net/bilder/PSVita/VitaExploitChart.png
I would recommend you to update to 2.61 and install Fieldrunners OR, to 3.01 and install numblast (Being on 3.01 means that you'll be able to play more Vita games, but also able to use TN-V or ARK) Can't remember about the RAM thing, but iirc TN-V9 unlocked 12 MB extra for every firmware

Any of those methods should work fine (if done properly).
About the uno exploit, yes it works on firmwares 2.02 and below

I just did one Friday and I went ahead and went up to 3.01 and installed TN-V with Numblast. It's great and the exploit just opens right up from tapping the game. Not sure if the rest do that. I know some don't. I'm loving it!!

i'm trying to upgrade using the proxy method,
i get the psp3update.pup url after starting "update over wifi" on psvita, but after replacing the files in the "replace files" tab, and starting the update again i don't get any message saying "that the files have been Redirected to a local file"
can someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong
thanks again

That message should appear in the "logs" tab. You could also try The Z's method

i'm trying to upgrade to 1.61, and this is what my log looks like now, but my vita still says 3.15 when i hit update
and this appears on thechangelog
(maps) were added to start screen
(photo) can record video
is this the 3.15 changelog?

but the user aggreement changed to version 1.1 instead of 1.2, is the psp trying to install 1.61 spoofed as 3.15, or is it actually 3.15?

The Video Recording and maps were added on 1.60.
No i don't thinks that's the 3.15 changelog (look at the changelogs here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStatio ... e#Versions)
