How to get DEX CMA

Post by SilicaAndPina »

So i just found out Dex CMA has the option to ONLY copy game savedata! :D AND Can be ported to retail much like
the debug utility and trophys app.
keep in mind that Dex CM doesnt have the [Install Content Mannager] Button (Not that anyone uses it as it installs default sony CMA) oh and i just found out the Full System Backup/Restore functions dont work under DEX CMA - You can allways just back up everything without using a full system backup. but still worth mentioning.

so if you wanna be able to just backup your savefiles and not the whole application. And still have it work on every single vita wheter Henkaku Or Not! Well Now this is possible!

Tutorial:
If you prefer a video tutorial you can check out HERE: [Video Coming Soon]
If you prefer a wall of text continue reading.
all you have to do is download this: https://mega.nz/#!RwkDHaAb!KKItjIYcm3CH ... K4wl5CsAnd & extract it
After thats done FTP To your vita and install VitaRW (If you dont allready have it) now on your vita Run VitaRW - and FTP To your vita again goto vs0: and in the folder you extracted theres a file called Everything For VS0 Copy everything from Everything For VS0/ to the root of VS0: (I recomend you back up VS0:app/NPXS10026 first)
it will ask you to replace a few files just say yes to all of them.
now thats done reboot your psvita and try to copy a game to your PC - You now have the option to ONLY Copy savedata! - acturally ive been informed this option is not working for some reason. donno why - working on it


And because people ask me over and over:
Heres a link to the original Shell.Self (To remove debug utility): https://mega.nz/#!hwFQnTLJ!qIFVTbn4ADYN ... 3_VZeBIA5M

This should be nice for games with random craft results like Freedom Wars :) . I spend hours backing up/restoring the full game just to get the right item instead of simply restoring the save!
When you restore the game, can you simply restore the save too ?

Wow I needed this!

I'm, not getting the prompt. It just says copy content, and nothing about saves. I copied everything, and the backup restore features say that they can't be performed on a testkit. So I have the proper files.

Does it quit? If not, then it's legit... Too legit.

Same issue on my test too, the prompt for copy doesn't contains any "Saved data only" checkbox :(

acturally dont beleve you can. you can back up only save but if the backup is of full game + save restoring will replace full game + save. if your backup is just save restoring only gives the save..

i think thats how it works anyway

it only comes up when you copy from psv to pc. not the other way around :D

I tested both ways on an application which was saved on the PC:
- Restore the application on the PS Vita
- Backup it on the PC
No checkbox for "save only" appeared.

On the PC, what is the content manager you are using? (I only tried with QCMA)
